That Convention Slider Card



Ohhh easy peasy! See here's another one!

Here's how: trim the flap off an envelope and decorate the front to the envelope. Cut (and decorate or not) a piece of cardstock to slide in and out of the opening of the envelope.
Thats it. Really! Try it for yourself.

Happy Stamping!

Things I Learnt at Convention

My favorite part of Convention was the Main Stage Sessions. Most of these were sessions where various Stampin' Up! staff and even a few demonstrators shared project ideas and ways to use Stampin' Up!'s fabulous product. Various presenters included Shelli Gardner, founder of SU, Brent Steele (this guy is awesome! so funny and talented!), Sara Douglas, and Carrie Cudney to name but a few. This creative ensemble showed us some really, really neat things and I loved every minute of these sessions!

Today I am sharing a few photos that use ideas and techniques I learned from Main Stage sessions. You'll see the instructions in upcoming posts.

One is that fabulous flower! Simple stunning and the crowd definitely "ohhhed and ahhhhed" when that one was shared!

The second is a slider card. You may be thinking (a little sarcastically) "Whoopdedoo"...well just wait until I should you how simple that slider card is to make!

Happy Stamping!

Convention Pics

Its been 4 weeks since Convention but I just finally had time to go through all of our photos (over 1200 of them between 4 of us). Wow! I saw some amazing projects and it seems I took a photo of every single one! I won't share those with you today, but I will share people pictures.

I went to Convention with my good friend Andra. We met up with her upline and sideline, Catherine and Lesley, who are both from Ontario. Catherine used to be my demonstrator way back in 2002 until she moved to Ontario.

A few things I know for sure....
  • Convention was awesome and I can't wait until I can go again.
  • Do not bring beef jerky snack packages on the airplane. Long story, just take my word for it.
  • I love Stampin' Up!
  • Awards night is inspiring, but much too long.
  • Momento Mall does serious damage to one's credit limit on a Mastercard.
  • Do not ask the cab driver if those are "mountains or hills"...he will become offended and reply with something like "Well I don't know where you come from lady, but those are mountains."
  • PF Changs is really yummy.
  • Stampin' Up!'s corporate office is a really cool place. The warehouse and shipping department was really, really neat to see.

Hope you enjoy the photos.
