Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Event in Brisbane II

Part of the fun of Heartfelt was looking at everyone's nametags.  We were encouraged to create our own nametags for the day.

I started off planning four owls in a row but when it came time to do the 'a' I went for something a little different.

The owl punch makes such cute brooches - you need four layers of card stock stuck together with Tombow.  Once the top layer is embellished, cover it with Crystal Effects and leave to dry.  Then turn the brooch over and cover the back with Crystal Effects.  Sit your brooch back in the Crystal Effects and it will set as the liquid dries.

And here is another of my cards.  This was to show brayering using the masking technique to create mountains at the bottom.  I saw a desig similar to this on Debra Currier's blog but added the brayering effects.

I love the First Edition newsprint DSP but for this card, I decided to make my own.

I googled the verse from the Bible then cut and pasted it to print out on Whisper White.  In the end, it wasn't much of the verse that showed but it still added a nice little detail.

The Whisper White against the Midnight Muse create a crisp contrast and an alternative to traditional Christmas colours.

The Glimmer Paper adds a festive touch.

Stampin' Up!s Heartfelt events are held once a year in Brisbane.  Don't forget that Convention is coming up IN BRISBANE next year.  If you want more information about joining up or coming along to these events please contact me!

Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Event in Brisbane

This year Stampin' Up! experiemented with a new format for their whole day event in Brisbane.  Demonstrators and customers were invited to a day of fun and creativity.  We had demonstrations, make and takes, hundreds of samples and products to play with. 

The theme was Heartfelt, and one of the activities was to make a decoration for Aaron's Christmas tree and in return we received a gift of a beautiful stamp.

We saw demonstrations of some wonderful Heartfelt gifts and decorations.  This wreath, made by Sophie, who works for SU! is on my CASE list - started making my flowers last night.

I was priveleged to be asked to work at the brayer table for Product Playground, along with Zena Kennedy and Genelle Little.  It seems many people are interested in the mysteries of the brayer as we were flat out the whole day and even ran out of paper. 

Zena is very artistic and loves experimenting with different media.  She made up this wonderful sample book for people to leaf through.  AND she was kind enough to lend it to me to take home!

As part of our responsibilities at Product Playground we were asked to make some samples.

I love the Snowflake Soiree set we were asked to use and I came up with this card.

I feel so priveleged to be part of this company and participate in these inspiring events.  We are so excited that Convention will be in Brisbane next year for three days of creativity.

I'll post some more information about Heartfelt soon!  Would love to show you my make and takes but I have only taken them...not 'maken' them....yet.

Thanks for stopping by!
