SHARING SWAPS

Today, several of my team and I are meeting up with some fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrators at a training event in Peterborough, to share ideas for Sale-A-Bration which starts 22nd January.

Here is a quick look at my first design sample for swap I made with the Two-Tags die, together with the SAB Blooming' Marvellous stamp set, which you can earn for FREE with a £45 order. The final design changed slightly to add some 'bling' !!

 

Pop back tomorrow to see what else we got up to ......

Happy crafting'

Welcome to our

SALE-A-BRATION Blog Hop

.

Today, 42 Demonstrators have got together to organise four Blog Hop groups to share with you some inspiration using the 2011 SALE-A-BRATION stamp sets that you can get FREE with every £45 spent in the current Ideas Book & Catalogue, and there are FOUR sets to collect before 28th February 2011.

.

Simply follow the links in each blog post, either forwards or backwards and you should start back at where you started. I have included the link to the start of each group at the bottom. So, make yourself a cuppa, forget the housework for a while and sit back and enjoy your tour. I'm sure that that you will soon be thumbing through the catalogue to make your next order and and choosing your FREE stamp sets. (If you don't have a copy there is a link at the top left of this blog).

.

Providing all the links have been scheduled correctly for 10am today, you may have just joined me from Emma @ http://emma-daye.blogspot.com and hope you are enjoying all the inspiration your have seen so far on your tour. If you have already been round this loop you may wish to click on the start of one of the other groups listed at the bottom of this post.

.

For our contribution today, my downline Emily and I started by designing this cute little set of five 10cm x 10cm cards, going out of our comfort zone and working with colours we wouldn't normally use. Here we used Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight with a Basic Black silhouette on each of the designs. We have used all 5 greetings from SO HAPPY FOR YOU stamp set for this collection, one on each card.

.

.

This owl is from PUNCH BUNCH stamp set. Our cute little owl will also be available from 1st April 2011 as a punch in our Mini Catalogue. With one gentle squeeze, you punch all 9 component pieces to mix and match into some delightful characters. I love this little chap and can guarantee you will be seeing lots more of him !!!!

.

.

This scalloped flower is also from PUNCH BUNCH. Every stamp in this set has a co-ordinating punch.

.

.

This card uses Butterfly from BLISS stamp set. Pop back tomorrow to another version of this card in a different colour way that I am sharing in a demo swop today.

.

.

Here again is a wonderful scroll from the BLISS stamp set. This also makes some wonderful background effects for your card.

.

.

The last one in this little set comes from SWEET SUMMER stamp set and again is very versatile.

.

.

We then continued out of our comfort zone to make this little quarter card with Cajun Craze cardstock and Designer Series Paper from the Regals collection. The centre greeting is from PUNCH BUNCH stamp set and has been punched with the Square Scallop punch.

.

.

.... and finally, we continued with our Cajun Craze cardstock and Designer Series Paper to make an owl spinner card. The owl is from PUNCH BUNCH stamp set and greeting from SO HAPPY FOR YOU stamp set. I will show you how to make this spinner card in my all-day workshop in March. Please contact me for scheduled workshop dates for the whole of 2011 in Thetford, Bury St Edmunds, Norwich and Stamford - Tel. 01366 728407 / 07806 616704 or email sroberts07@btinternet.com.
