Swap Cards I Made For Convention
Before you read on you have to forgive me as I have not actually described the making of cards in a basic way before. I am used to doing step by step instructions. So hopefully as I do more I will get better...
The materials used for this card were
(the numbers after the item is the order code just in case you were wondering)
Stamp Sets: Upsy Daisy – 115898 and Cute & Curly - 112966
Ink Pads: Tangerine Tango – 111834 and Chocolate Chip - 100908
Cardstock: Whisper White - 106589, Tangerine Tango – 116206 and Chocolate Chip - 108599
Accessories: Punch - Curly Label - 112966, Snail - 104332, Sticky Strip – 104294 and Dimensionals - 104430 Ribbon: ⅝ Striped Grossgrain Kiwi Kiss Ribbon – 111372
(the numbers after the item is the order code just in case you were wondering)
Stamp Sets: Only Ovals - 115842, Friendly Words Jumbo Wheel - 114696, Dreams Du Jour - 115786
Ink Pads: Ruby Red - 103673, Baja Breeze – 111833 Pacific Point - 111837
Card Stock: Very Vanilla - 106550, Designer Series Paper Good Morning Sunshine - 113966
Accessories: Punch - Wide Oval - 112082, Snail - 104332, Sponges - 101610, Jumbo Handle - 103661
Some Simple Instructions on how I made this card
Ink Pads: Kiwi Kiss - 111835, Riding Hood Red - 111836
Card Stock: Very Vanilla - 106550, Riding Hood Red - 116205
Accessories: Punch - 1¼ Square - 104400, Snail - 104332, Punch - 1⅜ Square - 103375
The first step was to stamp the Fresh Cuts Image onto Very Vanilla Card in Kiwi Kiss Ink. Then I trimmed around the image leaving a small border. I then adhered this to the base card (Riding Hood Red) which was cut about 1cm larger than the Very Vanilla using the snail to adhere. Also onto Very Vanilla I stamped a Say it with Scallops Image in Riding Hood Red ink. This was then punched out using the the smaller of the two square punches (look at accessories list) and then adhered with the snail onto a piece of Ridind Hood Red which was punched out with the larger square punch (see accessories list above). The card was then completed by adhering the squares onto the top left area of the card (see sample for placement).
I hope you like the swaps that I made. I know I really enjoyed making them. I recieved some very amazing swaps from the other demonstrators that were at the Convention. I will upload some of these for you to look at but as there were so many the photos may not be very clear. Please forgive me for any mistakes....

More Photos from Convention 2009
Yes well I promised I would put up some more photos from the wonderful convention so here goes...only two though sorry... (click on photos to enlarge them)
Here are a few off the page items that were on display for us all to look at. It is quite amazing what you can come up with when you put your mind to it. Others stampers are just amazing!!
Also there are display boards that you can get great inspiration from. This is one of them. (this photo is not real goos sorry). The great thing about these boards are you get so many ideas. You see something & you immediately think mmmm if I did this with that stamp set & arranged it a little like this, I could come up with a whole heap of new ideas. So it is just FANTASTIC that the people that actually made the original cards - scrap pages etc are will to let them be displayed for everyone to look at & definately admire.
Well I hope you get a few ideas from these two photos. I know I have.
Have a wonderful month in July. The time is just flying by so fast. So make every minute of every day enjoyable & be thankful for what we all have. xo
