Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Saturday, May 22, 2010 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
First United Church of East Syracuse, 823 Franklin Park Drive, East Syracuse, NY
Join us for an entire day of stamping fun!
Hope you�re planning to join us at our next Central New York Stampin' Get Together. Here�s the info:
Cost � $20.00 per person ($21 via PayPal). Your registration must be paid no later than 5 pm on Tuesday, March 30. (Yes, a quick deadline!) Mail your registration form and payment to me. There are no refunds, but you may offer your spot to someone else. Here�s what�s planned.
Mandatory Swap(s) (just one of these is mandatory) � You�ll know how many to make when we post the final counts, and you�ll have plenty of notice since the deadline is well in advance of the event. Participating at least one of these four swaps (see below) is part of the �price� of admission so everyone must participate in a swap (plus the shoebox table project, also required). You can, however, participate in any one, some or all of these swaps. Each of these swaps will include a +1 for a door prize. There are also some optional swaps, including a new one this time.
[*]
[*]
[*]
[*]
Mandatory Shoebox (Table) Project � Bring your idea and all the supplies (precut but not prestamped or prepunched) needed for making your project with a small group. Again, current Stampin� Up! products are preferred but other quality products are definitely acceptable. We�ll break the shoebox table projects into small groups. When our final count is in, you will know the table sizes. Tables will be set up to stamp the day away. You will need to bring four extra completed shoebox projects (which includes door prizes, hostess thank you, and one for your table so that everyone can follow it for directions). Participation in the table shoebox project is mandatory. This project will generally be a full card, with layers and embellishment(s). Please provide any special adhesive that's needed. So, just to say it another way: Bring 4 completed projects + make up 8* packets of materials needed to make your project. Make these something you�d be thrilled to get yourself.
*The 8 packets includes (another) one for you. Two of the tables will have 8 and two of the tables will have 7. But you have to plan for the higher number because you won't know the size of your table til that day. If you are in any way confused by this (and yes, I agree, it does seem confusing), please holler.
Optional Swaps � These swaps are completely optional so it�s up to you if you want to play. These will also be +1 swaps.
6x6 Technique Card Swap � Final Count - 14 Cheryl (Love2Craft) is going to tell you about this in Post #14.
3D Swap � Final Count - 12 Tina (tinyt73) will tell you about this one in Post #8.
[*]
Food � Please indicate on the registration sheet the food item you will bring to share. Please be specific; don�t just say �food�! Ideas: breakfast items, lunch items, including salads, desserts and snacks. We love to try your food specialties! Bottled water and coffee will be provided.
Make & Take for All � Our CNY gatherings always feature several large group Make & Takes, so if you would prefer to provide one instead of making a food item or along with one, please tell me.
�Garage Sale� � Bring your stamps and stamping supplies to sell or trade. Current Stampin� Up! items must be offered for trade only; you can sell retired items. Sorry but we can�t be responsible for missing items so bring things at your own risk.
Goodie Bags � for everyone! Everyone will leave with a bag of fabulous goodies. The goodie bags will all have the same value with some variations in colors, etc.
Door Prizes� Donations from our own group are always welcome so let me know if you�d like to make a door prize donation and what it is. We will be awarding the +1�s from all of the swaps and the extras from the shoebox projects.
Gift Swap � You don�t have to sign up for this one, but if you would like to participate, bring a wrapped gift related to our stamping passion. We will draw for those so that everyone who brings one will also leave with one. Value on these should be in the $5-10 range, and stamped projects are always appreciated! If it�s something you�d like to take home, it�s probably perfect! Be sure to include your name somewhere inside so the lucky winner knows who to thank. REMEMBER: Stamping-related!!!
Other Stuff � Please bring your own labeled items for your personal stamping needs, including your favorite adhesive. These are the items you just can�t stamp without, like: bone folder, paper cutter/scorer, scissors, straight edge, stamp cleaner and whatever else you can't stamp without! Did I say adhesive????? Adhesive! You will likely need lots of it.
Make and wear a nametag with your name and your SCS name so that we know you on sight. There may be a nametag contest so keep that in mind when you�re creating yours.
Don't forget your camera!
Complete the registration form and forward with your $20 payment ($21 via PayPal) by 5 pm on Tuesday, 3/30. All funds collected will be spent on the event. Your registration is complete when your payment is received. If you have any questions, please ask! Looking forward to seeing you in May.
*This means only current SU! products can be used but you don�t need to be a demo to participate.
Swap Etiquette -- Since we will all be swapping at least one item (card fronts -- info in post #7, demo quality card fronts -- post #9, recipes -- post #11, and/or ATCs -- post #12 ), I found some good general guidelines on SCS (which also apply to the optional swaps noted in posts 8, 13 & 14). I hope everyone will take these guidelines seriously so that we all make and receive wonderful swaps!
These are also good guidelines to keep in mind for your shoebox project, except that you're providing materials to make a full card rather than just a front and you won't need a "recipe".
1) Quality work -- This isn't about the quantity of layers or embellishments (please do use at least one embellishment and two layers), or whether you are new at this or not. "Quality" means straight cuts with no crooked, fuzzy edges, tears, wrinkles, etc. (unless that is part of the design), attaching your layers straight (again, unless part of your design), stamping images clearly with fully inked stamps, etc. If you make a noticeable mistake while stamping your swaps, turn the cardstock over, or cover with another layer. Last of all, quality means to use cardstock that is a nice weight not some flimsy stuff that has the feel of construction paper.
2) "Recipes" -- appreciated but not required. This means: your SCS name; your IRL name; listing the colors, stamp sets and embellishment you used; any techniques or tips you want to include. If you choose not to include a recipe, please include at least your name so we know who made your fab creation. Avery labels work great, but a plain piece of paper or your personalized stamp work just as well.
3) The only ones of these swaps requiring all current Stampin' Up! products is the demo quality swap and the 3x3 card. All other swaps can use any quality stamps, cardstock, inks, etc. This is not the time to unload your cheap cardstock!
4) Would you like to receive your swap or make your shoebox project? Then it's PERFECT!
Please ask any questions you might have and someone will be sure to answer. We have all made a lot of great friends getting together at these gatherings so we hope you’ll join us at this one!
Resummarizing: Layers - at least two! Dig into those embellishments, give your fellow swappers a real treat! Put those punches to work! Have fun, try something different! Show some pride and put your name on the back!!
Food Info -- Please remember when making/purchasing your food item that you do not need enough to feed an army. There should be a very nice variety coming: donuts - cake - muffins - sticky buns - cookies - brownies - candy - chips & dip - specialty dips - casseroles/main dish items - salads and side dishes - bread & butter - cheese & crackers - fruit - and more. Bottled water and coffee will be provided.
So, my suggestion is to make/bring a "normal" amount not a super size. I am sure there will still be leftovers but everyone should be able to find something they like. If you don't believe that to be the case, please feel free to pack a sandwich. We do have a refrigerator and stove available and there are plenty of outlets to plug in crockpots. There will NOT be a microwave available unless someone brings it!
REMINDER: If you are bringing something that is to be served HOT, please remember that there is NO microwave available. We will again have access to a refrigerator and stove (with oven).
DIRECTIONS to First United Church of East Syracuse, 823 Franklin Park Drive. Get the specifics from mapquest.com or randmcnally.com. But, generally speaking, most everyone will be taking Rte. 481 (from 81, 690 or 90) and exiting at Kirkville Road WEST (exit 5W). Franklin Park Drive is only about a mile from the exit and will be on your right. You will pass one light, two gas stations at the corner where the light is, and a school (Bishop Grimes). The church is just a short way up Franklin Park Drive and will also be on your right.
If you have headed in the wrong direction on Kirkville Road and get to that light, you will see a church on your left and houses on the right. That's Fremont Road; turn around and come back the other way.
I'm going to insert directions to Borio's since that's where we'll go for dinner. Hope you're planning to join us!
From the church parking lot, take a right onto Franklin Park Drive and follow it to where it ends at Kinne St. Take a right onto Kinne. At the third light, take a left onto Northern Boulevard.
Follow Northern Boulevard, which eventually turns into Thompson Rd. Take a slight right onto South Bay Rd. and follow for about 3 miles. You will then take another slight right onto Lakeshore Rd. and drive just a short distance to 8891 McDonnells Pkwy., which will be on your right.
In case you get lost, Borio's phone number is 315-699-2249.
3-D items are usually more involved and can be costly depending on your project. Therefore, we are going to have smaller groups for the 3-D swaps. We will decide on the final group numbers once there are a total number of participants. At this tiem all names are listed under group 1.
3-D items can be boxes, bags, frames, party favors, covered journals, notebooks and so much more. Check the SCS gallery for ideas. This is a great way to get new ideas for workshops or gift giving. If possible, please include a recipe or template, so everyone will have the pattern for your great project. The recipe/template is just a suggestion, not a necessity. If you plan on joining the 3-D Swap or have any questions fell free to send me a PM or email ([email protected]). Thanks! Tina

Reason: adding swappers of course!
final count 17(includes +1)

Artist Trading Cards
(miniature works of Art, traded between Artists. Yes, that's you!)
ATCs are 2.5" x 3.5".
Please be certain to use quality cardstock.
At least two layers
One embellishment or dimensional addition.
They should be made with care. Something you are proud to trade and would enjoy receiving. Be sure to make one for yourself. If you have others that you have made before, bring them along as there are many who enjoy trading.
For any that don't know the following is a link to a diagram of how to get 10 ATCs cut from 1 8.5x11 sheet of card stock:
This swap is for FULL 3x3 demo quality cards. That means:
--ONLY current Stampin' Up! supplies
--DO NOT have to be a demo to participate.
--Minimum of 2 layers, plus at least one embellishment.
--You can check out the gallery for ideas.
--Recipe is not needed or contact info as not much room on the back.

6x6 recipe on how to do a technique, and someplace ON THAT CARD should be a sample, (an ATC size would work well) Two layers of cardstock minimum. Please make sure there is something stamped and do your best work. If it's something that you would love to receive, then it is PERFECT.
Please make sure you have the name and directions of the technique on the swap. There are many techniques out there and I believe this is the 3rd time having this swap for the CNY gatherings. This weekend I am going to see what technique swaps were done at the CNY gatherings and compare what is on SCS and list on here what hasn't been done. Of course, if you have a technique that isn't on SCS or the list, please feel free to do it.

Found you but probably won't be able to attend. I'll miss those of you I won't have seen at Buffalo (and I'll even miss you if I saw you there :-D).
My first event was Syracuse in May 2007 so the Syracuse gatherings have a special place in my heart but my budget has no room for all of the crafting events/traveling/shopping that I wish it did.
I'm in for this one for sure since I missed Binghamton, Regionals (still pouting...) and Buffalo.
Thanks Linda for saving the day. My card fronts are already done if the number doesn't go over 31. That's how many of one kind I made for Regionals and didn't use.
I'm in for recipes, card fronts, ATC's and 3x3 cards and I'll bring the chili dip as usual.
Thanks and looking forward to everyone I haven't seen.

Wendy,
I have my card fronts and Su Demo done as well... from regionals =(....but only did 25 of each so I figured I would just do 5 more and hopefully have enough so I have a good start also... did my 3-Ds today (10 of them) ... now its on to the recipe swaps... I do a swap with some local girls each month so I will work on them and the ones for this now
Would you be able to compile a list of techniques already done in our past gatherings? It might be nice to attach that list to your post??? 'Cause it'd be nice if we avoided duplicates??? Just wondering.
Maybe Andrea or Diane (TOD) could help? I think they've headed your swap in the past.

I will be attending (finally) and am very excited. I have signed up for ATC Swap for now, and will see about others. Of course there are the mandatory swaps too...I will give all the details in my registrationform.
Thanks, Darci

NY * Central New Yorkers are Stampin' Again!
