Convention Swaps
Convention wouldn’t be convention without swaps! This year, I did things a little differently. I went down the MDS route and once I’d designed the card, sent it off to Photobox to print 150 of these beauties. I was delighted with the results. It had a glossy finish and was true to Stampin’ Up! colours. […]

I experimented with heat & stick powder followed by dazzling diamonds which gave this subtle hue directly onto the window sheet and was delighted with […]
