Presents! Who doesn't love presents? I certainly do. My downline, Cyndi, made all of these projects for me! I love antiques and vintage items, so these are "so me"! The 118611 Elements of Style stamp set was featured in these three cards, bookmark and gift box.
Simply stunning in person. Thanks so much Cyndi!!!!

Today is the first day of the Stampin' Up! Convention. Obviously, I've pre-posted this entry. Here is my original (not copied) swap card. Everyone who knows me realizes that I copy about 90% of what I make. And you all know when I come up with my own design, you will hear about it! LOL
Supplies:
Have a Seat stamp set, Define your Life stamp set, Very Vanilla cardstock, Night of Navy cardstock, Cherry Cobbler cardstock, Daffodil Delight cardstock, Night of Navy Ink Pad, Cherry Cobbler Ink Pad, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Scallop Circle #2 Die, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, Small Heart Punch and Very Vanilla 5/8" Satin ribbon.
When I saw this stamp set in the new catalog, iI had to buy it. It reminds me of the Early American furniture that was in the house I grew up in.

I'm getting ready to pack for the Stampin' Up! convention. And I'm so happy that I found my new luggage tag that my downline, Denise W., made for me. She covered chipboard in leftover designer series paper and then used the 13469 Scallop Circle #2 Die to cut it out. Next, she layered Soft Suede textured cardstock and then added the "s". She used the 108362 Crop-A-Dile to punch the hole and set the 108432 Jumbo Pewter Eyelet. She added a hinge ring from a craft store. There will be no mix-up of luggage on this trip! Thanks Denise!

On June 29, my manager, Terri, had a Stamp Camp for her top demonstrators in sales and recruiting. I loved being able to attend this because Terri has such awesome projects.
We made this lined envelope with two matching cards using the 118611 Elements of Style stamp set.
Then we made this hair pretty using the Big Shot 118871 Island Floral Bigz die out of polar fleece.
We made this fabulous album out of the 118766 Briefcase On Board Books, envelopes and 117173 Island Oasis Designer Series Paper.
The last project was made with the 118766 Briefcase On Board Books and 111546 Simple Birthday Thanks stamp.
(The black dots are from my camera.)
Note: We scored vellum cardstock and attached with a gluestick to give the frosty look.
Thank you Terri for the wonderful projects!
