Stampin' Up! Uk - Dress Up Framelits

I wanted to showcase some of the fabulous products in this week's Stampin' Up! Weekly Deals. This card uses the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder to create a border and the super-cute Dress Up Framelits to cut out the dress and stand.  

A piece of Naturals White was run through the Big Shot in the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder and the edges sponged with Crumb Cake to make the embossing "pop". This was matted on Raspberry Ripple card and a Baked Brown Sugar card base. 

The stand was cut from Baked Brown Sugar card and stamped using the Hardwood stamp. I cut the dress from a Tea Lace Paper Doily and used extra pieces to give the skirt some layers. The dress was sponged with Crumb Cake ink and finished with a bow in Raspberry Ripple Stitched Satin Ribbon. A string of Basic Pearl Jewels add a final touch. The dress is mounted on a piece of Raspberry Ripple paper from the 2012-14 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack cut using an Ovals Collection Framelit. 

To finish the inside of the card I used the Viola's Lace Builder Wheel stamp - so pretty.

Dress Up Swaps - Stampin' Up! Telford Training Event

Wow! What a fantastic day I had yesterday. Stampin' Up! hold regular training events for their Demonstrators and yesterday the UK training event was in Telford, Shropshire.  I travelled there with two of my team, my downline Hannah and her downline Nikki. It was their first Stampin' Up! event so I was super excited for them.  There were over 300 demonstrators attending which made for a fantastic atmosphere - what can be better than spending the day with people who also love Stampin' Up!?

Swapping is a popular activity at Stampin' Up! events - you make say 30 cards of the same design and exchange them with other demos so you end up with 30 different cards. It is a fabulous way of getting samples showing a range of styles, stamps and techniques. It is also a great way to meet people!

I used the Dress Up Framelits to make my swaps. The little dresses are so cute.

I made card fronts in a range of colours using the Subtles Collection Designer Series Paper Stack - which is your favourite colour?

I received some lovely swaps in exchange which I will share with you this week - thank you to everyone who swapped with me.

We had such an amazing day. The day was jam-packed with presentations by Demonstrators and Stampin' Up! staff, sneak peaks from the the NEW 2013/2014 Annual Catalogue (released on 1 July 2013) - you are going to LOVE it, exciting announcements (and no I can't tell you yet!) and of course some crafting! And, as if that wasn't enough, we were all given a gorgeous free stamp set too.

I love being part of the Stampin' Up! family and in particular the Pinkies Team.   I got to catch up with old friends and make new ones. I cannot wait until the next event which is the Stampin' Up! European Convention. This is being held in Manchester in November - two whole days of Stampin' Up! fun and crafting.  If you are interesting in coming along too, why not email me for information about becoming a Demonstrator yourself or check the details here.  Joining Stampin' Up! really is one of the best things I have ever done!
