Stampin' Up! This Little Piggy OnStage Swaps

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

This time last week I was in Birmingham at the Stampin' Up! OnStage convention. This is a twice yearly event. It's great to meet up with all my crafting friends, and create with them.

 It is a tradition of Stampin' Up! that at all their events you make swaps which you hand out to other crafters and they give you one of their swaps. It's a fabulous way to get lots of inspiration as everyone seems to see different things in the stamp sets and dies.

These are the cards I made. I used the five new In Colours for 2017-2019. Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink and Tranquil Tide. I also used the This Little Piggy Stamp set and the Playful Backgrounds stamp set.

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

Stampin' Up! This Little Piggy New Baby Spinner Card

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

In July I joined a new Card Challenge Group through my lovely friend Christine Bettany. This is not a Stampin' Up! group so we are free to use whatever supplies we have.

The Theme for August was making a New baby card that either moved in some way or had a special fold. 

I do love making spinner cards so this was the first thing that I thought of making. I used the new Bundle of Love Speciality Designer Series Paper for the layer and a base of Very Vanilla cardstock.

I stamped the elephant in Basic Black archival ink and looking at the card now I think I should have stamped it in something softer. The sentiment 'Peek-a-boo to someone new' comes from the now retired Suite Sayings stamp set.

Christine was my swap partner for this challenge and I love the card she made me. You can visit Christine's blog here
