Last weekend was the Pinkies annual trip to Birmingham where we spent 2 days crafting, chatting, eating and drinking - and swapping!
There were 35 of us going in total so I had to make the same number of swaps. Swaps are something us Stampin' Up! demonstrators like to do when we get together. You make 35 of the same thing and
you swap it in exchange for another handcrafted card front or 3D project. You end up with 35 unique projects to take home and use for inspiration or as samples at craft classes & events.I thought I would use the 2013-15 In Colour cardstock and ink to make the covered notebooks (the notebooks were such a bargain - 20p from Asda!).
The 2013-15 In Colours Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush, Baked Brown Sugar, Crisp Cantaloupe & Coastal Cabana will be retiring soon and will be replaced with 5 brand new in colours. I do love some of these colours and will certainly miss Strawberry Slush & Coastal Cabana - but I can't wait to see what new colours Stampin' Up! come up with!!
I made 8 notebooks in each colour - that's 40 altogether. 35 to swap and 5 to keep for myself.
 |
| Coastal Cabana & Rich Razzleberry I stamped the I Love Lace background stamp set onto Whisper White cardstock for the front cover and sponged the edges of the paper for an aged/distressed look. |
 |
| Baked Brown Sugar & Blushing Bride I used the Four You stamp set to stamp the sentiment Hello onto Naturals Ivory cardstock and punched it out using the Decorative Label punch and sponged the edges using the same colour ink. |
 |
| Calypso Coral & Soft Sky I attached the sentiment to a piece of Designer Series paper to make a belly band to secure the notebook. |
 |
| Pistachio Pudding & Melon Mambo |
 |
| Strawberry Slush & Bermuda Bay |
Inside the notebook you can see that I've added a small pocket by adding a piece of Naturals White cardstock.
I had a great weekend and here is a picture of me (2nd from the right) and my table mates (left to right, Tracy, Baz, Yvonne & Sasha). We had such a great time and I am glad I got to know these lovely ladies over the weekend.
Here is a picture of the amazing swaps I received from my fellow Pinkies. What a talented bunch of ladies!
I love to make & receive swaps and take the opportunity to look through my swaps every month or so to help inspire me to use different colour combinations and techniques. From 4 events I have attended since I became an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I now have over 125 swaps!
The Stampin' Up! regional event is fast approaching so next month I will be making 50 - 75 swaps to take with me. Subscribe to my blog to make sure you find out what swaps I've made & received!
I thought it would be nice to showcase these cards into a feature so welcome to..... 7 Days of Thanks!
Everyday for the next 7 days I will be posting a different thank you card project!
The colours and distressed style of this card has been based around the Burlap ribbon, I bought this a while ago but hadn't got round to using it yet and I am really pleased with the results.
Pinkies Stampin' Up! 2014-15 Annual Catalogue Blog Hop! feat. I Love Lace & Something to Say Stamp Sets
Saturday, July 19, 2014
Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop! We're showcasing lots of gorgeous projects using products from the new Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalogue. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping!
If you have arrived here from Sarah's blog, welcome!! I really hope you enjoy looking at the projects we have made!
My favourite colour is aubergine and I love using Rich Razzleberry in my projects, so imagine my delight when I found out one of the new 2014-2016 In Colours was called Blackberry Bliss.
I absolutley adore Blackberry Bliss and chose the coordinating coloured Backgrounds Designer Series Paper for this project. To find a full list of supplies used, please scroll to the very end of the post.
This matching card & gift box set combines Smokey Slate with Blackberry Bliss. I love this combination, don't you?
I have used a wonderful new stamp set called I Love Lace. This is a background stamp with such amazing detail. I have only shown a glimpse of lace through the window on the front of the card.....
....and when you open the card you get to see more of the detailed design.
This gorgeous gift box coordinates perfectly with my card. I have used the new Blackberry Bliss Stitched Satin Ribbon, Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Silver Glimmer Paper to give it a bit of bling!
Thank you so much for looking at my projects!
I have only recently launched my blog so it would be lovely if you could leave a comment!
The next blog is Xandra's and she has created an amazing project for you.
Happy blog hopping and I hope to see you next time!
