Stampin-Up Convention 2012

Well that just flew by, back to reality already! It was 5 days of fun, laughter, friendship and creating.
As always Stampin-Up hosted another fabulous event where we were totally spoilt with New Products and Sneak Peeks from the next Catalogue coming out in Australia/New Zealand on the 1st of Sept.

It was wonderful to catch up with the Just Add Ink girls and friends old and new, for me that is definitely a highlight and my roomies were a laugh a minute. Our days were spent attending classes and general sessions....Oh so much to take in, but heaps of great info and brilliant ideas from everyone.

I returned home with a rather heavier suitcase....:0) Chock full of awesome swaps and new toys, not to mention getting spoilt with yummy pillow gifts every night from Andrea. Here are a few of the swaps l took with me and few little team mate gifts.........

I had only decided in the eleventh hour excitement to make general swaps.......

These sweet little gift card purses are made using the Framelits Dies, Blossom Punch, Boho Punch and Petal a Plenty embossing folder, Basic black grosgrain ribbon, Tag punch and Tiny tags set for the sentiment.


These were my JAI girls Convention Gifts, l was lucky enough to find some cute little notebooks in the same colours as the Twitterpated DSP. I also used the Framelits Dies and Apothecary art set, along with each initial embossed in Cherry Cobbler E/P from the Broadsheet Alpha, l love making and giving personalised gifts and the second pic is them all wrapped up ready for Convention. I packaged them in envelopes made from re-cycling the mountains of brown packing paper that comes with each Stampin-Up order.

I also have some more swaps to share from an organised swap with the JAI girls, but l will wait to share those till l know everyone has received them.

            "Thanks for popping in, enjoy your day!"

All products used are Stampin-Up unless stated.

  1. Wow Nikki. These are all gorgeous but I especially love those notepads. Absolutely beautiful! The best use of apothecary art and the framelits that I've seen. Brilliant! Would have been worth the price of convention to receive one!
    Great work!

  8. What beautiful, creative and thoughtful gifts and swaps, Nikki! I never thought about making envelopes out of that packing paper. I'll have to see if I can figure out how to do that.
