More On My Crafty Day

Since the stamp convention was SO much fun I thought that it deserved two posts. Here are some more make and takes that my daughter and I made.  To see my first post about the stamp convention go here.

The first two were made at B & J's Art Stamps. For those that have never done a make & take at B & J's Art Stamp booth you are MISSING out.  For starters, their make and takes are free.  Secondly, you will get to play with all kinds of fun stuff (think ink, embossing powder, liquid applique, etc).  SO much fun!!   If you get a chance head on over to their website and check out all of the wonderful things.

The next two were made at The Paper Cut.   These were fun to make.  I love that they are so bright and cheerful looking!  All proceeds from The Paper Cut make & takes went to cancer research.

 Last but not least this cute little bird was made using a set from Close To My Heart. A  local consultant, Wendy,  and her mom had a table at the show.  This was their make and take.

There you have it..........my wonderful day at the local rubber stamp convention.  Thanks SO much for stopping by.  Have a magical evening!!!

A Crafty Day

 

Happy Saturday Everyone!!  Several weeks ago I attended the local stamp convention.  What a great day it was!  There is nothing like spending a day surrounded by creative friends, great new products and make & takes.  Here's my haul from the day:

I spent a lot of time at the Fun Stampers Journey booth. This company has many great things going for it.  Number one the owners and staff are just great people.  They are so personable and seem to really enjoy what they do.   Also, they are knowledgeable about all of their products.  I bought some great stuff at their booth.......a couple of ink pads, card stock, rubber stamps, markers, Eco Art Board and Journey Glaze.  Plus, I received a free tote bag.  Who doesn't love free?  And speaking of free, I also received the cute little butterfly pictured at left.  Richard, the owner of Fun Stampers Journey, was demonstrating the Eco Art Board, Journey Glaze, Ink Pads, etc and created it.  I really enjoyed the demo and learning about how all of the products worked together. After seeing how it all worked together, I knew I had to have it.  I have BIG plans for the Eco Art Board that I bought. LOL


                   I did several make & makes at Fun Stampers Journey.  Here they are:

Though it may seem as if I spent my entire time at the Fun Stampers Journey booth, I didn't.  All the other items that I purchased (including the Girlfriends stamps) were from different companies at the show. Also, I made other make & takes.  Stay tuned for photos of those. I had so much fun at convention that it deserves two posts!

If anyone is interested in checking out the products that Fun Stampers Journey sells be sure to click on the link.  Not only can you purchase the wonderful products that they sell but you can see some BEAUTIFUL cards and samples of work.  You are missing out if you do not head over and check it out.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope that you all have a very crafty, magical day!!!!!

To see highlights from my time at the 2012 convention go here and here.

Make & Take Fun At Convention!

I had so much fun doing the Make & Takes at the convention.  Here is what I got to make:

I made this card at Fun Stampers Journey.  It was a fun card to make! These stamps were available for purchase and were awesome!  They inked up nice and made a perfect impression.  From what I understand Fun Stampers Journey is a fairly new company (so if you have not heard of them that is why). They had some awesome stamp sets and wonderful card samples to look at. I can't wait to see what else they have in the future. I highly recommend checking out their website.

I made this one at B&J's Art Stamps.  This is a brush background technique.  I just love how easy it is to make a beautiful card with this technique.  B&J's Art Stamps had beautiful card samples and lots of stamps, inks, etc. to chose from.  If you have not checked out their website be sure to do so. It is one that you will not want to miss.

This was made at Stamp On It.  For the first time I got to try a Geo-Die! What is a Geo-Die you ask??? Well it is a metal die that can be ran thru the Cuttlebug.  After the die is cut, you fold & tuck the flaps and end up with a beautiful shape that has endless possibilities! It looks so complicated but was so easy to do.  I also tried out an embossing folder (it is the white paper in the background). The embossing folder had music notes on it.  Fun, Fun stuff!  I spent a lot of time at this Make & Take discussing all of the different dies out there (Spellbinders, etc.) and learned a lot. Be sure to check out their website. I know that they will have something that you would like.

If you would like to check out the above mentioned companies just double click on their name and it should link you to the one you clicked on.

Well that's what I got to do at the convention (besides shopping).  I hope that everyone is having a wonderful day!!

Convention Fun!

 The treasures I found

This weekend was the Rubber Stamp and Scrapbook Expo here in Tucson.  It is annual event that I look forward to every year. The day was perfect!  I met several of the vendors and enjoyed talking about rubber stamping and card making all day! What could be a better way to spend the day??  There were many treasures to be found as you can tell from the above photo. The convention also offered several Make & Takes which I got to do (Can you say TOO FUN!).  Check back tomorrow for the pics of those. Hope you all are having a super Sunday!
