MINI WOW ALBUM SWAPJoin me for this beautiful, creative swap where we’ll design mini scrapbook albums. What a perfect way to document your amazing OnStage experience.
When: Saturday, March 14
Time: 8:00am (Check In 7:50am) Swapping will begin promptly.
Location: Convention Center by the registration tables. I will update you as we know more about the layout of the area, if this location does not work.
* Look for the "Laura's Mini Album Swap" sign.
If you've ever swapped with me before, you know my swaps are organized, efficient and prompt. Please respect everyone by being on time. We will start exactly on time and should be done under 10 minutes, not including check in wait time.
* * * * * * Make 4 mini albums per group. This is not a +1. * * * * * *
I will be swapping in each group. Each group is limited to 4 so we can create brilliant, creative projects without being overwhelmed. There will only be 3 groups. You may join more than one group, but each album must be different for each group. You will not duplicate any of your albums in other swaps.
Please join by posting a comment, how many groups you'd like to join and your email. (You must post a comment below to sign up; clicking "GOING" does not sign you up.)
Guidelines: PLEASE READ ALL GUIDELINES
* Current Stampin' Up! products only as of March 2026, NO exception!
> ACCEPTABLE <
- 25-26 Annual Catalog
- Jan-April 2026 Mini
- Online Exclusives that are current and available as of 2/1
> NOT ACCEPTABLE <
- Product of the Month
- Paper Pumpkin product
- any kit product
> Online Exclusive product that discontinues before 2/1 is not acceptable. If any OE retires AFTER 2/1, that is beyond our control and is acceptable. <
* High quality work is expected. This means:
- STRAIGHT and precise cuts.
- Clean stamping - NO smudges or smears.
* The cover must have at least 2 layers in addition to the base.
* The cover must have a minimum of 2 embellishments and bling.
* A minimum of 5 pages, this includes the cover and back. Both sides of each page should be dressed.
* There is not a size specification, because every mini album is
different, there is no specific type. For example, a mini album
can be created from small paper bags, an accordion fold in a
metal tin, mini envelopes, over-sized tags, 12x12 envelope
notched fold over, the possibilities are endless.
If you are uncertain, please ask.
* Dress up the entire album! Use Wink of Stella, ribbons & bows,
pearls or rhinestones, sequins, etc.
* Because mini albums may require additional dressing, in some
cases it would be acceptable to use other brand product than
what we carry; for instance, buttons, rings, safety pins, clips,
keys, even brads.
* ANY paper & ink, punches, dies, embossing folders MUST be current Stampin' Up! only.
PLEASE CHECK WITH ME before you add anything to your album that is not SU! I will most likely approve it, but please double check. In fact, I will approve other ribbon as well…I am a ribbon junkie and love to dress my albums with crinkled seam binding, colored baker's twine, lace etc. Still, please check with me first before you finalize your design.
This is a WOW! swap so please let your creativity shine. WOW! means someone will squeal with delight when they see your project.
* Present your album in a cello bag. You must include a cello or plastic bag when you swap, if it will compromise your project to swap in the bag.
* Please include the following information on a separate piece of paper in your project. NO labels stuck to the project. A post-it note inside the bag is great.
- your Name
- email address
- group #
* Everyone appreciates excellent work, so please take your time and put your best effort into your projects.
* Please design your own work. There should be no need to CASE a mini album.
PLEASE comment below that you would like to join and please INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL when you sign up.
See you in Long Beach!
