Off to convention....

....well my case is packed - I can just to say lift it! I never have been good at travelling light.

I managed to make 60 swops - 3 different designs. 

Who knows I might swop them all tonight???

All 60 - just needed to do a card front and put the details of what I used on the back

This used clockworks, Gorgeous Grunge and Perfectly Penned

Naturals Ivory cardstock, Merry Minis tree punch  & glimmer paper, finishing touch edgelit, trim & twine

Cycle celebration, Tape it & Bitty Banners.

If I get chance to update my blog whilst I'm away I will try - if not will do when I get back.

Tuesday tag time......

....... where has 2 weeks gone!!!

Today's tag is what I've created to attach to my backpack at Stampin Up convention. 

Every-one who attends get the same silver bag so you need to be able identify which is yours - especially if you loose it!!!!! As it's silver because Stampin Up is 25 years old this year, I've gone for a silver sparkly theme.

Front of my tag using silver paper embossed with silver. Window framelit in Island Indigo stamped with Gorgeous Grunge and heat embossed in silver. 

My initial and butterflies cut from silver glimmer paper.

The gorgeous silver glitter stuck round the edge using crystal effects which has secured the glitter really well and not coming off when I rub my fingers over it.

Back of my tag - with my contact information (rubbed out for display here) just in case!

I am busy making some swaps to take, haven't got as many prepared as I'd hoped - will share tomorrow before I leave on Thursday.

Tuesday tag time....

..and Happy Birthday to my friend Helen today.

I am sharing the little collection I made for her starting with the tag

 

I have used the modern mosaic embossing folder and stamp set, Crisp Cantaloupe and Baked brown Sugar inks.

I have shared the card design before and have made the other things to match.
