Convention 2013 Make & Takes

Just a quick post this morning with a couple of pics of the make & takes I did at Convention this year.

The first one is a card and uses the new stamp set Gorgeous Grunge.  This is a fabulous set for layering and I can see lots of background possibilities for it with the different patterns & textures.  The greeting is from Hello Lovely, as is the ampersand.  And those cute new lacy vintage buttons are definitely going to be popular!

No card is complete without a stamped envelope!

These are our new boxes from the Tag a Bag range.   I mentioned in a previous post that they come in a pack of 8 including acetate sleeves.  But on this one, we added a cardstock cover before slipping the acetate sleeve over the top.  A great idea if you want the contents to be a complete surprise.   Do you like the little "leaves"?  They are oval punched shapes folded in half and snipped with scissors.

Have a great mid-week and go make something gorgeous!

Catalogue Launch Make & Takes

Thought I'd share the projects that my lovely customers made at the catalogue launch.  There is so much new product this year, it was very difficult trying to narrow it down!

The first project was a card using the new Sketched Birthday Stamp Set.  I love this set because it will work for any age group, male or female, yay!  Versatility is such a bonus, don't you think?!  And you can change the look easily by switching out the colours.

The ladies then assembled a box from the new Tag A Bag Gift Boxes, and decorated a tag to attach.  You can find them on page 158 of the catalogue.  They are great value at $11.95 for 8 boxes including acetate sleeves.   The tags were made using the Tag a Bag Accessory Kit, also page 158, and that includes 10 large base tags, 10 medium builder tags, Baker's Twine, mini clothes pegs, dimensionals and adhesive strips.

The new catalogue is live today, so get your orders in!
Happy Crafting
Cheers
