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. 

You're amazing birthday

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!

You're amazing tickets

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... :)

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.

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.

Convention gifts

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.

Convention tags

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.

Convention gifts 2

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

Going to Convention? Save me a Swap!

I'm so excited to be attending the annual Stampin' Up! Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah this coming week!!

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.

  Floral district hybrid conv swap

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?
