Brisbane Regional training day

On Sat 28th November, 2009 I went to SUp!'s
Regional Training day at the Hilton, Brisbane.

It was a brilliant day with approx 200 people attending.
30 of those there were from our Paper Angels group.

We got to "play" & make 4 projects using new product from the new Summer Mini Catalogue.

(see below post for more details)

Stampin' Up! representatives & fellow Qld demonstrators shared tips on workshop ideas & we were treated to demonstrations of great techniques ... I have to try the faux reptile ....

Aaron Scott, CEO Stampin' Up! Australia, made a card with no glitter & yet still managed to get some on himself & his card thanks to the exposure of his Crop-a-dile to Dazzling Diamonds in the past ... how funny. My husband is now used to going to work with glitter somewhere on himself!! Occupational hazard... hee hee.

I had made 31 cards to swap with other demonstrators, so I have some lovely cards to show you. Swapping is a fantastic way to get new ideas, techniques & colour schemes using stamp sets I may not have. Though the new Butterfly Prints stamp set & Butterfly Punch featured prominently! It's not just me that loves this new beauty!!

This is my favourite Summer Mini stamp set (so far!!) Butterfly Prints (pg 12) with co-ordinating Butterfly Punch.. yah!! again!!! (ha ha) ... AND it gets even better, as this new punch also co-ordinates with our Idea Book & Catalogue's Flight of the Butterfly (pg 82).

This is a photo of the card I made using these stamp sets & punch as my 'swap' for our recent Stampin' Up! Regional training day that was held at the Brisbane Hilton. So easy!!

New Summer Mini Catalogue now available

"Out with the old & in with the new" is an adage that isn't always enjoyed by some people, however, with the Spring Mini finished we can welcome Stampin' Up!s new Summer Mini Catalogue... yah!!!

My favourite Summer Mini stamp set (so far!!) Butterfly Prints (pg 12) with co-ordinating Butterfly Punch.. yah!! again!!! (ha ha) ... AND it gets even better, as this new punch also co-ordinates with our Idea Book & Catalogue's Flight of the Butterfly (pg 82). I made cards using these as my 'swap' for our recent Stampin' Up! Regional training day that was held at the Brisbane Hilton. I will post photos soon.

At the Regionals we used Hello Again & the matching Retro Remix Stampin' Around Wheel. I was thrilled with the projects.
There is a fantastic 1 3/4" Circle punch to co-ordinate with our new Sweet Treat Cups & some very bright & happy Kaliedoscope Designer Series Papers, cute Animal Stories & handcrafted crocheted flowers to accent your creations.!!

Remember that if you want anything especially for Christmas then you will need to let me know by 15th December, to ensure delivery!


All the best & happy stamping!!
