Stampin' Up! Convention Swaps ............ Sydney 2010 - Winner

Sorry for the delay in posting this - life has been busy since I got back from Convention. 

So do you really want to know how many punches were in my swaps - well if you look at the photo below there are EIGHT per flower and ONE for the sentiment so that's NINE per card not including the Top Note Die ............ and how many did I make for Convention only 87 ............ so that makes 783 punches for my swaps - (if you are making swaps don't use 9 punches per card it takes waaayyyy tooooooo long...........).

So the closest person would be Alison P with 800 punches......... Alison I don't have your email address so hopefully you will read this and send me your details through so I can send you a card.  Thanks everyone for playing along.

Stampin' Up! Convention Swaps ............ Sydney 2010

As promised this is my Swap I did for Convention this year.  (sorry the photo is a bit dark it's been very overcast and rainy here today so I had trouble getting a nice bright photo - glossy cardstock is a little harder to photograph).  With a little help I can't believe I actually got to over 80 of these (final count is yet to be done before I leave for Convention).  There is way more work in these than I first thought hence why I stopped at just over 80.

Win one of my swaps:
Would you like to win one of my Convention Swaps? I'll leave one behind for a lucky person who can guess or get the closest guess to how many punches we had to punch out to finish all my swaps............ just the punches not including the Top Note die or the embossing on the Big Shot...........  Post your guess in the comments section on this post.  Don't panic if you don't see your guess straight away as I may not get to a computer regularly while in Sydney.  Get your guesses in by Midnight 28th May NZ time........ yes I'll send it anywhere in the world.

Stampin' Up! Convention Swaps ............

I thought I'd share my Convention swaps from last year as I'm in the process of making my swaps for this year.  These are half sized Tri-fold cards (sorry the photos aren't that great I should find the original cards and re-photograph them).  I thought this year I'd make ones that weren't quite so time consuming ...... hmm that didn't happen ............. check back in the next couple of days for a sneak peek at my swaps for this year.

Quick packaging for a baby gift

This is a little box that I made quickly yesterday to put in a patchwork ball that my MIL made for my daughters ballet teacher who just had a baby.  This box was very quick to make using a 12 x 12 piece of cardstock scored at 4" ..... so it looks like a 3 x 3 grid and then you score the corners on an angle (you can trim the corners if you wish) so it forms a collapsible box. I then made a lid for on the top (sorry I forgot to take photos of the ball and the inside of the box.).


















Materials

Stamps: Nursery  Necessities
Stampin' Around wheel: Nursery Letters
Cardstock: Pretty in pink, Whisper White
Ink: Pretty in pink
Punches:  1 3/4 Circle, Large Star, Scallop Edge, Word window.
Bigshot: Circles #2
Other:  Tombow Multi adhesive,  Clear Rhinestone brad.
