Stampin Up Incentive Trip Cruise Swap by Michelle Last

May 8, 2014 By Michelle Last

So today is the day that we receive the swaps from the other demos on the ship.  We were to make 26 swaps, 25 for our fellow demos and one for Stampin Up.  We hand them all in and then we receive 25 randomly selected swaps back.  I cannot wait to see what beautiful things I get back and of course I will be sharing photos with you on my return. This is my swap – Incentive trip swap using Petite Petals and Apothecary Art by Michelle Last A bit vintage and in using my favourite colour Pool Party!  I based the idea on a swap I received at one of our team meetings by Lucy Tustian.  It has a super cool fold to make it open with depth on the inside but when its closed lay flat!! Here is what I mean….

So you can see what I mean about having depth which meant I could cut out an aperture with the labels collection framelits and add a stamped image from Apothecary Art on the inside so that when it is opened and lines up perfectly you can see the sentiment and stamping within the aperture….

I was happy with the results but let me tell you it took AGES to complete, I enlisted the help of my stamping helper Cas (Who also happens to be my sister). I cant wait to tell you all about my trip and share the hundreds of photos.  So hang on in there and I will be back soon….

Have a great rest of the week!

    […] I recently shared the swap I made for the Stampin Up Cruise and have been asked to share how I made it and the measurements.  It looks like a normal card from the front and lays flat for posting but when you open it it reveals a hidden depth and the opportunity to add a wow!  You can see the original blog post and larger photos on my blog here.   […]

It’s catalogue launch day and I have a pretty pop up card to share with you using one of the lovely new bundles from the Stampin’ Up! catalogue. The Tile Garden Bundle caught my eye straight away. I love its gentle prettiness and all those lovely little floral details. Although I made mine as a birthday card, this style of pop up card could easily be adapted for thank you's, Christmas, congratulations or lots of other occasions....

Interactive Mini Album I've been busy behind the Interactive Mini Album

I've been busy behind the scenes creating a special mini album for my team retreat this weekend. I can't wait to spend time with my wonderful team—being creative together, sharing lots of laughs and making this beautiful keepsake. If you've followed me for a while, you'll know I have a real love for mini albums. They're one of my favourite ways to preserve memories because they tell a story that's far bigger than a single scrapbook page....
