Training Fun at Bicester with Stampin' Up!

After a rather busy weekend, I am pleased to be able to share with you my cards which I made as swaps at Bicester for our training last weekend. Our larger Stampin' Up Team called the 'Pinkies' and run by Michelle Last get together throughout the year to share ideas, inspiration and spend some fun time together.

Last Sunday 30 of us gathered at Bicester (Oxfordshire) with ladies coming from all over the UK, including York, London, Worcestershire and the South Coast.

Here are the samples of my swaps - the idea is that you make 30 small cards with your own idea, and then swap with each of the other Pinkies, so you go home with 30 new, inspired ideas. This is JUST ONE of the things I LOVE about Stampin' Up.

I used the new Six Sided Sampler and the matching Hexagon Punch to create these quick and easy cards.

As always, the quality of the samples were excellent, and once I have permission from the creators, I would love to share some more samples with you.

Here is the lovely Suzette from my team, who made some stunning little gifts - glass jars which she stamped onto and added a cute little label. Perfect to hold the Mint Imperials for my card classes!

Suzette has some stunning projects to have a look at and one of her latest postings tells you how she made the lovely decorated jars.
