Last weekend I was involved in two days of training . On Saturday we had the Online Team Training which was done through FaceBook Live and on the Sunday I travelled to the Stampin’ Stars team training over in Crawley.
Today I’m sharing photos and details of some of the swaps I received last Sunday.
Here’s all of the swaps I received – all 21 of them. I’ll walk you thorough them a few of a time and I’ve also grouped them per stamp set (to try and keep it simple).
The pictures are in no particular order..
The first group uses the Epic Celebration stamp set – it’s one of the Sale-A-Bration ones.
This stamp set is a great one for the teens. There is a guitar, trainers and image of a pair of headphones too. You can choose this for free with a £45 spend while Sale-A-Bration is on (ends 31 March).

Emma always makes fabulous cards and this year Stampin’ Up! have asked her to be one of the Global Design Team Members for 2018. The guitar on her card was heat embossed using Silver Embossing Powder and then coloured..
The second card made by Amanda is a simple but very effective one layer card.
This second group of card features the Magical Day stamp set
This is a cute stamp set with images of a mermaid, knight, unicorn, wizard and dragon. I’m having to hide my stamp set and designer series paper from my niece. She’s currently going through the “I love unicorn” stage and will do her best to persuade me to part with the stamp and let her have it. She’s only eight but loves to come and craft with me..

Karen stamped her unicorn and cut it out using the co-ordinating die from the Magical Mates Framelits Dies. You can purchase the stamps and dies individually or as a bundle saving 10%. The stripes behind the unicorn are simple strips of cardstock.
Pauline used her Brusho Watercolor Crystals for her unicorn background, and the rays peeking out from behind come from the Amazing You stamp set.
Sue used Stampin’ Blends to colour her dragon. The image is stamped on White Shimmer Paper which catches the light but does not photograph too well.
The third group feature the Party Pandas stamp set. Another one in the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue.
The three images in the stamp set have a panda in various poses – sitting with a balloon, holding an envelope with a heart on, and dancing with a party hat on. There is also three sentiments and a small background stamp.
Left – Bridget Metcalf, Right – Susanna Tolkien
Bridget made a cute bookmark using a strip of Whisper White and punched one end with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. The panda was stamped and heat embossed and the little red heart was punched from some red glimmer paper. The balloon, hat and present were cut from the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper, that’s one heck of a lot of fussy cutting when you are making 21!
Susanna’s panda is stamped direct to the Whisper White card stock and the heart was coloured in. The Linen Thread wrapped around the Whisper White adds that little bit of extra interest. Very simple but very cute.
The last one for today is my swap. I was the only one who used the Cake Soiree stamp set.
I started by embossing a piece of Whisper White cardstock with one of the pretty embossing folders from the Petal Pair Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and then adhering the cardstock to a piece of Berry Burst cardstock.
I then die cut some Whisper White cardstock with the largest square from the Stitched Shape Framelits and stamped the present image in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then restamped the present onto some more Whisper White cardstock and coloured the flowers using Stampin’ Blends.
Once all the images on the scrap were coloured I then fussy cut part of the image out. You can make out the part (top left of the photo below). I was actually doing all of this at 4.00 am thanks to the storm/gale blowing outside!
To finish off the front of the card I die cut a large scallop square using my Layering Square Framelits and adhered the stamped Stitched Shape Square to it using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I then added the fussy cut/coloured image to the front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The final touch is a piece of the Berry Burst Metallic Edged Ribbon which I folded over and adhered to the back of the Berry Burst Scallop Square.
I hope you have enjoyed all the cards that I’ve shared today and I’ll be sharing the rest soon.
