TEAM GET TOGETHER PROJECT

On the weekend we had a great team get together where we did lots of stamping, chatting and eating.

It was a really fun day and we created a couple of projects, this one being a card that I created using recycled items.

You will see that I have made use of the brown packing paper we all receive in our Stampin'Up! orders.  The brown paper has been ripped, stamped and run through the hexagon embossing folder to give an interesting background.  The flower has also been created using the brown packing paper.

I have also used the cardboard backing off some small notebooks that I used for another project and as I didn't need the backings I was going to discard them.  Decided instead to make use of them by using a crayon emboss resist technique with the hexagon embossing folder.

Projects from our Team Get Together

Just popping in today to share with you some of the awesome projects

 we completed at our recent Team Get Together.  

We had so much fun and each member of the team provided a make n take.

PROJECT NO 1 - STAMPED CANDLES

Our first project was provided by Cassandra and it was how to create a

beautiful stamped image on a candle.

Now I have tried this technique before and I wasn't very

good at it.  But, I must say the technique Cass taught us meant my

candle came out looking great.  I decided to go with a Christmas theme

and used the very beautiful poinsettia stamp from the Joyful Christmas

 stamp set available now in the Holiday Catalogue.

PROJECT NO 2 - VERY SIMPLE CHRISTMAS CARD

This was my project for the day.  I had decided on a simple theme using

mostly non-tradional products.  I went with the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set 

and Washi Tape and then added in a sentiment from the More Merry Messages set

and an Ornament from the Ornament Keepsakes set.  Stuck with the

traditional Christmas colours of Red and Green (in this case Cherry

Cobbler and Old Olive).

PROJECT NO. 3 - GIFT BOX AND GIFT TAGS

This was Heidi's project for the day.  A very sweet little gift box

using the Top Note die (still one of my favourite dies)

and little gift tags using the Chalk Talk Framelits set.

Aren't the Santas so cute on the gift tags.  Santa came from the Tag It stamp set which is 

available in the Annual Catalogue.  To stamp just Santa from this set we 

simply coloured Santa with our Marker and stamped.  Easy.

I should also mention that this stamp set is a set that Stampin'Up! donates $3

from each stamp set sold to Ronald McDonald House Charities.   To date Stampin'Up!

have donated over $1,000,000 US to Ronald McDonald House Charities and now we are 

able to do help with contributing  in Australia.

PROJECT NO 4 - SLIDING CARD

Our final project for the day was this gorgeous Sliding Card which was created
by Marylou.  How beautiful are the colours she has chosen.  Cherry Cobbler
and Silver Glimmer Paper.  Loved this project and will be creating
more of these in the future.

So there you have it, we all had a great day having fun chatting and eating and

catching up on each others news as well as spending the day creating

these wonderful projects which we will now all go out and share with

our customers and friends.
