Telford for Stampin' Up! Regional Training

Today I'm sharing a wonderful day in the company of over 300 other crazy Stampin' Up! demonstrators at Telford for a regional training event.  It's usually a fab day with lots of inspiration from other demonstrators in the form of swaps. We trade ideas by swapping card samples. 

Above are my swaps for the day. I've made the top one for the girls from my team and the bottom one is my general swap.  I had so much fun making these getting messy with lots of 'smudging' over embossed images.  I used the emboss resist technique and if you've not done that before come along to my techniques club classes to learn skills like this and others. 

If you don't recognise the flower stamps that's because they are from a stamp set I received for attending the Dutch Regional training event in Almere last month.  You can see details of my Stampin' Up! dutch day by visiting a previous post.  You can see another example of this set on my sneak peek post.

I'll let you know more about the stamp set in due course, but I hope like me you love the colour spritzer tool and spritzing bottles for the splatter effect and also the Delicate Doilies Sizzlits. 

 

I'll be back soon with news of the swaps received and maybe details of when we can all get our hands on the new annual catalogue due to go live on 1 July.  Maybe I'll even get to see some of the new products!!!! Have a great weekend.
Happy crafting!
