Stampin' Wheel Ideas

[csoule]

I want to feature the Stampin' Wheels at my next party. I have a few ideas of how to showcase their use. Does anyone have any clever uses for the Stampin' Wheels? I want to emphasis how easy they are to use, how versatile they can be and how inexpensive they are. I think I'll have a lot of first timers at this party so I'm hoping it will be a big selling point.

Here are my thoughts so far...
- I think I plan to do a make n take Cello Bag Topper and we'll use the wheel as a background. Make some chocolate candy wrappers from address labels too.
- Display a scrapbook page with the wheel
- Display a card that uses the wheel.
- ???

Thanks in advance for your thoughts...

I think those sound like great ideas. I generally make the little "foldy bag" on the training video and wheel it.

If you have the wheel guide, you can use it to show how to make a frame with nicely mitered corners!

The wheel works great on paper (not slick) gift bags, some gift boxes, etc. You might even want to experiment using it on tissue.

I thought it might also work with the black ink on napkins or paper placemats but haven't had a chance to try that yet.

Works great on sour cream twist containers, bookmarks, and other templates too.

I like to use them on the flap of envelopes. Hope this helps

Not a demo but proud owner of 30 wheels, half of which are SU.

I will say my favorite use is to make OSW from them. That is how I did my Christmas cards this year.

So easy to roll out a whole page and chop it up. Always seems like I can't find the proportions well when I stamp right on my cards.

I have only been to like 2 parties where wheels were used, the first we made a scrapbook page and the 2nd party we used a wheel to decorate a white lunch bag, whic I thought was cute. Also she carried a wrapped box the she had already done up for a display, showing how you could make wrapping paper using a brown paper bag which is inexpensive. I buy the brown mailing paper and make my own wrapping paper all the time. Also I know people can use the wheel as a background, etc. but I figure if they were to mess up, it would be better to do it on a baggie instead of their card, course with the wheel guide, things should go better (the wheel guide wasn't out at the time of those parties I attended). You have some cute ideas though.

Since the wheel guide came out I have become a wheel addict. I love to wheel my own gift paper. I wheel on tissue paper. Last night I took a pollyplastic gift bag and wheeled on that with Staz-on. Yes, my wheel is a pretty blue now, but it has not hurt anything else I have used it on. You can also take manilla envelopes or regular envelops, seal them cute them in half and wheel them and then wheel matching tissue paper to go inside. Scrapbook pages are great, card backgrounds, stationary sets with matching envelops. There are endless possiblities.

Ok, I feel the need to go wheel now.

Do you have an empty two-cell ink cartridge. That's a neat one to show how they can get multiple colors from one wheel!

Thanks for the ideas. I"ll let you know what I come up with.
