Using Paper Pouncers with Stencils & Die cuts

Hi friends!

It's been an incredibly busy time for me this past month as I've been to Creativation and CREATE!. In between shows I stayed with my sister in California, which was a blessing as I'd not seen some of my family for a few years.  

If you don't know, Creativation is the largest trade show for arts and crafts in the United Stated, and it's absolutely brilliant! We had the pleasure of meeting a ton of retailers, craft companies, crafters, and even some of our crafty friends! 

Before we headed to set-up, we managed to get a snap of the three of us as soon as we arrived at Creativation. That's Sara on the left, Nicole in the middle, and I'm on the right. 

When we first arrived, we had to set up our entire booth, and let me tell you, it took an age! 

Our booth at Creativation was mega busy and the make and take table was a huge success - we made hundreds of cards over three days. We were lucky enough to have two amazing crafters to help us - Tina Marie, and Kelly Taylor! They were both the epitome of professionalism, and I couldn't have made the table a success without their help. 

One of the cards we made was the one I designed. The original card changed from critters to tweet tweet birds, due to them being a brand new product. I did add one of the little critters to this card, but the make and take card did not have him on it. 

We wanted to highlight our brand new Paper Pouncers with quick and easy techniques, and to give retails and customers a chance to get them in their hands and to see for themselves how they felt, and worked.
