It was another fantastic day at convention. It has been about three years since I attended my last convention and I don't want to miss another one. It's too much fun! I thought I would finish my post from yesterday and show you the four final make and take projects that I made today.
Isn't this scrapbook page adorable? The word "you" is from the new On Board Loads of Letters chipboard. This set of chipboard gives you multiples of each letter in three different fonts so you'll be able to use it for many different projects.
I used the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set on this page. It's one of the three free stamp sets that we received here at convention. The stem of the flower is one of the sentiments in the stamp set that says "one person can make such a difference and that person is you!" I think that's so sweet.
There are also three other new accessories on this scrapbook page. A felt Flower Fusion in Baja Breeze, the new Rose Red 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, and a Baja Breeze button from our new Designer Button Bouquet.
This card also uses the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set and On Board Loads of Letters chipboard. It's difficult to see in the photo, but the bottom of the card is scalloped with the Scalloped Edge punch. Do you see the other two new accessories? The Very Vanilla brad from the Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware and the 1" Double-stitched Chocolate Chip Grosgrain ribbon.
The Chocolate Chip ribbon is threaded through a punched hole in the card. To make the hole in the card, I took the 1/8" punch on the Crop-a-dial and punched several holes in a row right next to each other (through the front and back layer of the card) until it was wide enough to fit the ribbon through. I threaded the ribbon through and tied it in a knot.
Isn't this stamp set gorgeous? It's another one of the stamp sets we got free and it's called Inspired by Nature. The vanilla piece on the left is the stamped envelope. The card on the right shows three of our new accessories--the large oval punch, a small paper clip from the Clips Assortment (the ribbon is tied around it), and the 1/4" Chocolate Chip Grosgrain. I know, the Chocolate Chip grosgrain isn't completely new. I'm so glad Stampin' Up! decided to bring it back.
This gift bag is my favorite project of the day. It shows two more of our new accessories--Tangerine Tango Patterns designer series paper and the 7/8" So Saffron Poly-twill ribbon. This ribbon is definitely going on my first order. It's gorgeous!
Here's a closer look at the bag tag. It's one of our 3 x 3 white love notes. I punched a hole in the upper left corner using the crop-a-dial and then cut a slit from the folded edge of the love note to the hole so I could slip it around the bag handle.
Aren't those make and take projects great? After I get home from convention I will be making these same projects with my downline as well as for my customers in a class. I'll post the date of that upcoming class after I get home so be sure to look for it. I'd love to have you join us.
Stampin' Up! has also made a very exciting announcement today. I'm editing the pictures so I can add them to my blog so be sure to check back in a little bit. You won't want to miss it! ~Dannie
