My 2011 Stampin' Up! Convention Swaps

~ Very Vintage Organized Swap ~


This card was inspired by one of my favorite stamping friends, Diane Dechaine. She taught us how to make sweet peas at a Dazzling Diva downline meeting. I just LOVE making these flowers :)

Ink: basic black, blushing bride
Paper: confetti white, in color 2010-2011 dsp

~ Precious Butterflies General Swap ~


This pretty hostess set arrived just in time in order for me to pull this swap together.

~ Calendar 3-D General Swap ~



These little calendars come in handy around the house. They do not take up very much space and are just cute!

Stamps: peace within
Ink: basic black
Paper: concord cruch, melon mambo, whisper white, Hostess Cheerful Treat dsp
Embellishments: jewels basic rhinestones
Tools: curly label punch, modern label punch, small oval punch

~ Flowers & Lace General Swap ~



When I received this brand new lace punch, I got right to work with it...literaly...work...I made about fifty of these for swapping and believe me to punch out all of those lace borders takes some good old fashioned muscle...I have to stand up and punch each time and the next day, I felt sore in my arms and legs.

So, if anyone asks me if I get a workout from stamping...they answer is a definite "yes". LOL

Stamps: vintage lace large roller (on butterfly)
Ink: basic grey
Paper: basic grey, confetti white, cherry cobbler
Embellishments: pearls, 1/8" very vanilla taffeta ribbon
Tools: lace ribbon border punch, flower garden embossing folder, big shot beautiful butterflies die

There you have it for today!

Check back as I will be posting the awesome make n takes that I have finished from Convention within the next few days!

Happy Stamping!
