Stampin Up at the Sandown Show

This is what I was up to in my hotel room in Wales last week; I'm there again now but I will share what I am doing this week with you later.
Last weekend was the Sandown Stitches and Creative Crafts Show, Amanda had a stand there and I was going to help out for a couple of days.  Of course to really stand out from the crowd we needed LOTS of samples to decorate the walls so I said I would make some bunting to hang up.
This picture shows my work in progress and the ones below show how pretty my hotel room looked once I had hung it all up.  Well I wouldn't want to crush it would I? It was much safer up on the wall, I wonder what housekeeping thought!

I think our stand looked wonderful; some of the other ladies had made so many samples and worked so hard.  What do you think?

We were demonstrating and had make and take sessions running all day and we completely booked up very early on which was great. We were able to share Stampin Up with so many lovely people. I do have a picture of the card we made somewhere, I will find it for tomorrow for you.  Meanwhile, here is my bunting in situ!

Noel - Christmas Bunting

This is what mine is going to look like when I've finished making it! The bunting was one of the projects at our Stampin Up team training day recently and this is the lovely Amanda holding up her sample. 
I think the bunting looks amazing and will look great in my house at Christmas and it really isn't that difficult to create.  The designer paper pennant triangles are from Jolly Holiday and are matted onto cherry cobbler.  Then each pennant is trimmed with vanilla card that has been edged with the scallop border punch.  The letters have been inked in old olive and then crystal effects to give them that gorgeous glossy shine.  The letters are then placed onto vanilla circles and cherry scalloped circles.  We used the cropodile to make holes in the corners and to set the jumbo eyelets and the whole thing is joined together with some old olive satin ribbon.  Of course you could make much longer bunting and use different words, hmmm I've got an 18th birthday in the family next year I might make some in a different colour scheme for that!
