Meeting & Convention Make & Take #2

At our August Luv 2 Stamp Group meeting, we made some of the Make & Take projects from the Stampin' Up! Convention in July.

We took some design liberties and redid some of the projects to include more new Holiday Catalog products, as well as other changes. Sharon and Cindee helped me think through the design process in coming up with the projects for our meeting. 

Instead of the 12x12 scrapbook page, we made a 4-1/4" square birthday card... incorporating some great new products like the Core'dinations cardstock, sanding block and dust buddy cloth!

TIP for the little tickets:  stamp ticket image on More Mustard scrap in Midnight Muse ink, punch out with TIcket Duo Punch, then stack them on the paper piercing mat, and poke through all 3 at once with the Paper Piercer.  Insert the pin from Vintage Trinkets, fan out tickets, and place a glue dot between each one to keep them faned out, then pin them to the Midnight Muse ribbon.

 this was the 12x12 page for the convention make & take project... yes.. we changed it up a bit to come up with the card above... :)

STAMPS:  You're Amazing set, pg 33 Annual catalog #126720 / 126722

INK:  Midnight Muse #126860

CARDSTOCK: More Mustard #100946, Very Vanilla #101650, First Edition DSP #121878

ACCESSORIES: Core'dinations Early Espresso cardstock #127848, Core'dinations Dust Buddy #129366, Core'dinations Sanding System #129367, Apothecary Accents Framelits #127003, Paper Piercing Tool #126189, Stampin' Pierce mat #126199, Midnight Muse 3/8" stitched Ribbon #126847, Vintage Trinkets #118764, Ticket Duo Builder Punch #126883, Embossing Folders (Woodgrain #127821 or Lacy Brocade #127819), Stampin' Sponge #101610, Stampin' Dimensionals #104430, Bone folder #102300, Paper Snips #103579, Stapler

---------------------------------------

At our August Luv 2 Stamp Group meeting, we made some of the Make & Take projects from the Stampin' Up! Convention in July.

We changed some of them and kept others pretty much the same.

This was one of the projects.. we basically kept it the same as the Convention design.

It features the Affection Collection set from the new Stampin' UP! Holiday catalog.

STAMPS:  Affection Collection, pg 35 Holiday Catalog, #127946 / 127949

INK:  Primrose Petals #126858, Midnight Muse #126860, More Mustard #126964, Daffodil Delight #126944, Early Espresso #126974

CARDSTOCK: Primrose Petals #126841, Whisper White 3"x4-1/4" #100730, Early Espresso 1"x3" #119686

ACCESSORIES: Modern Label Punch #119849, Scallop Edge Border Punch #119882, Rhinestones #119246, Small Heart Punch #119193, Stampin' Sponge #101610, Stampin' Dimensionals #104430, Bone folder #102300, Paper Snips #103579, Stapler

I decided to tweak it a little when I got home.. I added some designer paper and self adhesive die cuts from the Afternoon Daydream Simply Scrappin' Kit, (pg 167, #126927).

I used some of the self adhesive die cuts in the Simply Scrappin' Kit to decorate inside this card.

Wow.. it's that time of year again.. time to head off to Salt Lake City, UT to enjoy several days with my best Stampin' Up! buddies at the

Stampin' Up! convention!

I'll be doing my best to blog each day from Convention, so check back for updates.

Today I thought I'd share the gifts I gave my downline who are attending convention this week.

I made them each a tag to put on their convention bag and a notepad in a clear-mount stamp case for their Convention notes. Both were designed with My Digital Studio.

I tied fabric strips from the Essentials Designer Fabric package to each tag.

The tags are designed in My Digital Studio with a "Swatchbook" project, but instead of a horizontal book, I designed them to be vertical tags.

The cases are sold on pg 7 of the Stampin' Up! Catalog, "Clear-Mount Stamp Case", item 119105

Check back each day this week for news from Convention... it's going to be so much fun!!

CONVENTION SWAP ALERT!!

I can hardly believe that I'll be joining thousands of fellow demonstrators in Salt Lake City, UT in just a couple days!! whohooooo!!!

I love swapping cards while at Convention... if you are going.. I hope we get to swap!

Here is one of of the cards I'm bringing with me to swap!

The patterned paper is from the BANDSTAND Simply Scrappin' kit (pg 167, #126928). 

Ribbon: Midnight Muse 3/8" stitched ribbon, pg 172, #126847

Stamp Set: Blooming with Kindness, pg 87, #126420 / 126422

Butterfly: Papillon Potpourri, pg 115, #123757

Greeting from Blooming with Kindness, punched with 1" circle punch and NEW 1-1/4" scallop circle punch (coming on Aug. 1)

I was making about 40 of each card, but ran out of the paper above, so I switched to this paper.. I like them both!  The blue paper below is from the Comfort Cafe pack of DSP, pg 163, #126898.

The Embossing Folder is NEW from the upcoming HOLIDAY Catalog from Stampin' Up!  it's called Lacy Brocade!  I embossed the Cherry Cobbler 4x4 card with the new folder.

After stamping the flower with Cherry Cobbler ink, I used sponged daubers and swirled Cajun Craze ink in the center, and then Cherry Cobbler ink around that.

I've only missed one convention since I joined in 1995, so whatever the math is.. that's a LOT of conventions for me!!  I love seeing my friends and getting new ideas... one great way to get new ideas is to swap cards with other convention attendees.  I've made about 200 cards... I have been doing about 40 of each kind.. here is one of the swaps that I'm taking with me.

 

I designed the background in My Digital Studio using the Floral District download, and then stamped and punched and added hybrid elements, and mounted it all to a Rich Razzleberry piece of cardstock.

See the fun layers I was stamping and punching? 

I am loving the new 1-1/4" scallop circle punch ... it's coming up in the new Holiday Catalog from Stampin' Up!  ... available to customers on Aug. 1 !!
