Swirled Designs Bundle For Some Artisan Fun!

Recently went to Stampin' Up!'s Backstage Leadership Convention in Vegas ... and it was AMAZING! The fun all started for me with some fabulous humans gathering for dinner. Most of the Artisans that were in attendance for the convention - past & present - got together to meet/reunite/hug/chat/laugh/etc. It. Was. Such. A. Highlight! I am SO SO grateful for the Artisan teams I have been on and the Artisan community as a whole ... because "Once an Artisan, always an Artisan!" 😍 And as a reminder ... this is an international group! We had so many countries represented and it. was. amazing to be apart of it. My heart was SO full after!

Since I organized the event, I wanted to have a little Vegas themed gift at the table for them. Have to admit ... I was pretty bummed at first because a few things I was planning just didn't work out, due to some shipping issues. But ... at least they looked pretty cute! Hee. So sharing that first, and then share some photos of us! 💗 We SOOOO missed those that weren't able to make it!!!! 😢

I brought all the "pieces" and put the bags together one I got to my hotel room. My fabulous good friend & roomie, Chelsey, helped me! So had to have a little photo shoot in our room with the bags & her! 💗😂

I used quite a few products on here ... all from Stampin' Up! ... although some are from awhile ago! Do you recognize where the banner piece is from?! If you have been around for a long time, you may! I had a "vision" for these bags, and I was SO GLAD that I still had some of these pieces! Because they were perfect! Hee.

But also used the new Swirled Designs Bundle, that I LOVE! That is a new Online Exclusive! The Mini Alphabet Dies are phenomenal ... it's one big die that die-cuts all the letters! So I just added some Adhesive sheet to the back of black cardstock, and ran the whole die through a few times. Then found all my letters for the names! It was so quick & much easier than it could have been! Hee. And then of course the Stylish Shapes Dies always come in handy for me! 😍 The Damask Designs Embossing Folder added a bit of an "old world" Vegas vibe for me. I embossed on Black Cardstock and then sanded a bit ... just to make it a little distressed and stand out a bit more.
