One of the other swaps I hosted at Convention was a 3D swap. I love this one because I get lots of great class ideas.
Here’s the front of the project I made. It’s a star book that is a 6×6 size. You can see all of the great projects under the Convention Swaps 2010 they are featured after the fabric swaps or you can click here. Thanks for checking them out.
I’m back from Convention and so excited to share everything with you. Convention was fabulous as usual. Of course there were tons of great ideas. I did my swaps again this year so I thought I would share them with you. I was in charge of three different swaps this year: a fabric swap using the Big Shot, a 3D swap and a 12 x 12 Double Scrapbook Layout. So far I have the fabric swaps up so you can check them out. Just image how much fun you could have making these projects with your own Big Shot. I’d love to show you how just give me a call, plus you can check out all these great projects in person.
To see the fun swaps just click here. You can also find them under Samples-Swaps-Convention 2010. Check backs so to see the great Hostess Promotion as well as the other swaps I got.
We had a lot of fun making these pages and cards on Wednesday at Club. Remember if you join SOS Club you will be able to make these fun pages or cards as well. SOS Club will be moved from Tuesday the 18th to Wednesday the 19th for this month. Be sure to contact me asap if you want to come. Click here for the other pages and all the details.
This month we used the all in the family set. Remember right now when you buy this set you can get a set of free buttons. This is good for any $35.00 purchase in the growing up section of the catalog. Click here for more details.
The all in the family set is a perfect set to use with our Stamp-a-ma-jig. I showed them how I took the thick window sheets and cut 2 x 2 squares so that I could make a jig for all the pieces and keep them with my stamp set. It works great for anything you use your Stamp-a-ma-jig with all the time such as alphabet sets.
This fun layout came from a page that my up-line Brandi made for a 12 x 12 swap from convention.
Here is the fun page she made using the under the stars set which is also part of the growing up section of the catalog.
When we were going the other convention swaps we noticed another page that uses the same layout. It was done by my other up-line Janice. I love it when you can use the same layout to create three different and great pages. Remember when you need some inspiration just turn to our great catalog. Find a layout you like then pick a color scheme and a Stamp Set. You’ll have your own unique creation in no time.
Here are the cards that our members got to make. It hard to see but the happy together is made with a fun new technique that I learned at convention. I used the bone folder to curl the piece just like you would ribbon on a present. I wanted it curled two directions so I started in the middle and went one way then I flipped it over and went the other way.
Notice that I also used the piercing tool on the cards and the pages. I love that the piercing tool is finally avalible by itself. Be sure to order this great tool for your own projects.
Remember you can get the cute buttons like shown on the birthday card for free with your $35.00 purchase from the growing up section. This offer ends August 31st so call me today 435-245-5321. Click here to check out the great growning up promotions.
My friend Heather made this card for a leadership swap.
I love how simple it is. Plus it uses one of my favorite stamp sets. I think the film strip idea is so fun and could be used with a bunch of different stamp sets. It’s so easy to make with our great spiral punch. Try it today.

This is the swap that Brandi made for her meeting. I really love how she used heat and stick powder to make the flowers sparkle.
Heat and stick powder is really quite easy to use. If you have ever heat embossed than you know how to use heat and stick powder you just need to add two more steps.
First you need to stamp your image. If you are using the dazzling diamonds heat and stick like on this card then you would want to stamp with a craft ink pad so that it stays sticky.
Next you need to pour on the heat and stick powder just like you would embossing powder. Be sure to use the powder pals for easy clean up and to be able to put your left overs back in the bottle. Once you’ve covered your project shake off the excess and tap the back to make sure you have removed all the extra powder.
Now you are ready to heat the powder. Just heat it up with your heat gun. You will see it start to melt just like you do with the embossing powder.
Once you have melted the heat and stick powder you are ready for your glitter. Simply sprinkle the glitter over the heat and stick powder. Use a another powder pal for this.
After you have applied the glitter re-heat the image for a few seconds just to set the heat and stick powered.
That’s it your done. You’ve added a fun sparkle to your stamped image. I encourage you to give it a try today.
