Hello Lovely

 One of the wonderful parts of Convention is that we get sneak peeks of the new stamp sets to come AND we get to play with them.  This is one of our make and takes which uses two new sets: Gorgeous Grunge and Hello Lovely.

 

Look carefully and you'll see another new product:  washi tape!  This super effective and easy to use product is a decorative tape, and is similar to masking tape but much cuter.

 

See those ink splatters?  Those are from the Gorgeous Grunge set - you can splatter your ink but there's no mess!

 



I had a team meeting soon after Convention and we made the same card but in a different colour combination.

Can you spot the washi on this one?

 

 

Both of these stamp sets and many many others will be available come July 1st in our new Annual Catalogue.

In the meantime make sure you check the retirement list!

Convention Cupcake Swap

Here are some of my swaps for Convention.  You make multiples of a card front or other item and then swap with other demonstrators.  So if you make 20 items, you'll get 20 different items back.  It's a fun way to start Convention and meet other demonstrators.

As our catalogue is retiring at the end of June, I tried to use colours and items that I thought would still be available in the next catalogue.

Yup...it's another project using Crystal Effects.

I found these magnets at Officeworks.  They have a resin bubble on them which I prised off and covered with a Gumball Green Rectangle.

The cupcakes are made using the Cupcake Builder Punch and the flower is from the Build-a-Cupcake stamp set.

Ready to swap!

Thanks for stopping by!

Another Convention Gift

Have you taken a look at Stampin' Up!s range of fabrics?  The range of fabrics is beautiful and co-ordinates with our colours and card stock.  Have a look on page 170 and 171 of our catalogue. 

 

I found this key fob on Pinterest (which led me to this site) and thought it a nifty gift!   These were easy to make - I am a basic sewer - nothing fancy is my style, but I managed to whip these up fairly quickly and without anyone holding my hand (which would make sewing really awkward anyway!)

 

 

Stampin' Up!s fabric has just been retired in the U.S. so it may well retire here when we get our retirement list next month....so if you would like to order some you might like to get in quick!  Email me at wheatonanna@hotmail.com or you might like to visit my online store.

Thanks for stopping by!

A Parliament of Owls

By the time you read this post I will have collected my bag and started my Convention experience.  We are in for a real treat from Thursday to Saturday as demonstrators from Australia and New Zealand converge on the Brisbane Convention Centre for three days of inspiration.

Here is a gift I have made for my team members who are attending and some other special people.

 

I saw this beautiful bag tag on Jo Dumbleton's blog.  I love the use of Crystal Effects on anything.  These were so much fun to make.

 

I couldn't quite get the split ring onto the creation as to pull it apart wide enough meant that the ring itself became bent, so I settled for ribbon to tie the owl to the ring.  I thought the effect was nice.

Jo's lovely creation also had a piece of vellum on the back, run through the printer.

And here is the whole parliament of owls.

I hope the recipients like their little gifts.

Card:  Lucky Limeade (leaves), Real Red (heart), Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie (beak), Soft Suede and Whisper White (owl body and eyes), Summer Smooches DSP, Vellum
Tools:  Owl Builder Punch, Fancy Flower Punch, Bird Builder Punch, Crop-a-Dile
Accessories:  3.3 mm Taffeta Ribbon, Crystal Effects

Don't forget that if you would like to join my team there is a fantastic joining offer on at the moment - Join for $169 and choose $295 worth of any Stampin' Up! products!  This offer will last until May 30th.  Please email me at wheatonanna@hotmail.com if you are interested!
