Off on a training Road trip

By the time that you read this post I will be in Leeds for the Regional training event, Sharon & I drove up last night and stayed at the hotel attached to the Conference centre at Weetwood Hall. I am officially excited as some of this training will be based on the forthcoming mini catalogue that is available from 1st April. So i'm sure that we'll get a copy of the catalogue.
As with all training events that are run by Stampin' Up & their demonstrators it is also a chance to swap cards & Inspiration. Unusually I started these swaps nearly two weeks ago & didn't leave it all until the last minute.


Corner Bookmark Swap




Starting with a 10cm square you need to mark the 5cm point on three sides, so you can cut to an equal point. 
The square  end can then be punched with one of the border punches, I have used the eyelet border.
The designer series paper was cut to 8.5cm square & then cut in half along the diagonal. Score 70mm in on each of the shorter lengths to make the folds to be able to glue the designer series paper to make the corner pouch that will slip over your page.


I have made 40 swaps for this event.


To make this swap I have used:
Card
Basic Black
Very vanilla
Ink
Cherry Cobbler
Daffodil delight
Poppy Parade

I will be back later in the week when I have recovered to share with you the swaps that I've received.
