Hello , Did you enjoy the gigantic blog hop we all did over at In Love With Stamping, fabulous wasnt it… If you havent had time you really must pop along for some superb projects from the girls!

Today I wanted to quickly show you my Swaps I did with some other Demos over at ILWS, The theme was to use prodcuts from the new mini, I chose to join 2 groups as i love these events, I chose Plane & Simple and Cleary for you sets… also incorporating other stamp sets and the new sizzix range we are now selling here at Stampin Up

The colours I chose are from the neutral colour family and the gorgeous Vellum cardstock… And of course using the SUPER DUPER BIG SHOT MACHINE!

I used this on the first card One for the gilries with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder a Stampin up Exclusive,placed around a card blank made with Crumb cake cardstock aka Kraft and the Lush Crumb cake ribbon binding that has an almost silk like fell to it, superb for scrunching for a shabby chic effect, and for ruffling just two beautiful looks for starters!.. I stamped on Confetti white cardstock thats on page 87 of main catty, and used largest oval punch and placed onto a kraft peice cut with the Lots of tags die another Stampin up Exclusive and finished with lots of bling Our basic rhinestones, why on earth they a
re called that only knows they should be called a touch of luxury sparkle!

Onto the second card one for the boys I stamped the image and sentiment with Basic Grey ink, and also using the same ink to stamp the background using the fabulous Sanded background stamp, Used Basic Black, Confetti white cardstock and some brads, oh and the Designer label punch, I love this stamp set and this card infact, can i say that since i made it..
