Wow Just Shared convention with my Sister Brenda my Mum and her friend Marlene and sisters in stamping and the amazing Shellie and Stampin' Up Staff. Just travelled back to Hervey Bay from this year  Stampin' Up! Convention with my Mum and her friend Marlene.

The Bus trip was a little long but we all had so much time to talk about our wonderful Stampin' Up! Convention  which we had just come to an end. Each year Stampin' Up! have a theme and this one was

 "Be the Difference"  

 

What made this Stampin' Up! Convention the biggest? With 700 Sister Demonstrator you can imagine the excitement as this is Stampin' Up! 25th Birthday....and all the attendees were very spoilt, we received gifts (Yes that's right Stamp Sets and more) prizes there were workshop wows and inspirational presentations...I really love seeing Linda up there working with vellum.

As some of you may know that I also have a love for parchment craft and love seeing stamping and vellum work together.

 

So Where is next year Convention? Drum roll yes!!!!MELBOURNE on the 22nd to 24th May 2014.

I love seeing and catching up with sister stampers that I have meet over 7 years  of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

 

Photo taken of Shelli and myself on

 Wednesday 22 May at Leadership Event and in the evening at Managers' Reception we got to see our Name up in lights...This dose make you feel a little like a star and I know we were treated like one thanks to Stampin' Up! wow I always wondered how this would feel... and it feels good.

If you need to talk to me call me on 0409533925 or text me.

Did you know :

That the Big shot can cut over 50 materials

PLUS with the Steel Rule dies you can cut up to 5 sheets of card stock at one time .

The Big Shot is the most versatile die-cutting machine on the market today. Using the multi-purpose platform, you can use dies, embossing plates, and other products from a wide variety of sources.

SU! Big shot also has exclusive Dies and will cordinate with many of our already fabulous products

We sell 2 types of dies for Big shot

Steel Rule: When you think of steel rule dies, think of cookie cutters--they both work on the same principle. Steel rule dies are made by embedding an elongated razor blade into a hard wood base and then covering that blade with foam for safety. When the die is passed through the Big Shot, the foam is compressed and the blade punches through the material being cut. Because steel rule dies use a blade, you can cut more types of material as well as multiple layers of that material. Additionally, the cutting blades can also be designed with scoring blades to create fold lines.

Chemically Etched: Unlike steel rule dies, chemically etched dies can cut intricate designs. To create these dies, elaborate designs are etched into the metal using chemicals to burn away the unwanted metal. While these dies can create more intricate designs, they cannot cut as many types of materials nor can they cut multiple layers of material.

Speaking of materials here is the list of at least 50 types you can use with the Big Shot

•Brass (.055)


•Light weight steel

•Aluminum (.016)

•Tin (.008)

•Aircraft plywood (1/64")

•Basswood (1/16")

•Balsa (3/32")

•Paperwood

•Mat board (adhesive or none)

•Chipboard

•Fabric

•Silicone

•Foam with chipboard (.1)

•Fine sandpaper (.00)

•Strene

•Extra thick template plastic

•Plastic canvas (7 mesh)

•Bubble wrap

•Sheet foam

•Friendly (jewelry) plastic

•100% pure beeswax (cut with parchment paper on top & bottom of beeswax)

•Adhesive and non-adhesive rubber
