Rock n Roll and Stamping Off!

Here is a card we made at my Demo only stamp camp the other night.  It features lots of new product like:
- Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder
- Concord Crush ink, card stock and stitched poly ribbon
- Pear Pizazz ink and card stock
- the new, fabulous, beautiful half back pearls!

To do the flowers we used various combinations of stamping off and rock and rolling to get the multiple colors and shading.  Don't know these techniques?  Let me show you!  Contact me today.

Other Supplies Used include:

Stamp Set: For All You Do 
•Punches: word window, modern label extra large, retired 3 flower punch (could substitute small flower from Boho Blossoms or from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack)

Thank you Clubbers!

Last week I sent my club members from this past year this Thank You note.  Again, the Vintage style is my style of choice these days.  I really appreciate all my club members and their commitment to me, SU! and their enthusiasm for stamping.  It helps to make my job even more fun than it already is!  So thank you again ladies and I hope you liked the card.

Last night I had a fun workshop with some newer ladies (and a couple very experienced ones too) so I came up with this simple yet cute card for them to create.  What I love about it is I used some card kits I had already cut and bagged that were leftover from another workshop.  I liked the challenge of coming up with something different out of the same materials.  Maybe I should try that more often!

I used:

Stamp Sets: Good Friend, With All My Heart
Card Stock: Bashful Blue, Brilliant Blue, Whisper White
Embellishments: clear rhinestone brad, Ballet Blue 5/8" grosgrain ribbon
Inks: Bashful Blue, Brilliant Blue, Crushed Curry

Another Fabulous Swap! – Mandi

Okay, sorry to go MIA on ya for a week there!  And I was doing so well!!!  Aaah well… life goes on…

Here is another awesome card we made at my team shoebox swap.  This was created by Mandi.  Again a terrific display of the new Sweet Pea designer paper in the Occasions mini and the new Sale-A-Bration scallop trim punch.  It uses the With All My Heart stamp set that I’m totally adoring these days.  Cute, isn’t it?  You could whip up a bunch of these in no time, stamp any sentiment in the bottom, and have cards for all occasions!  Thanks Mandi!

SAB Class Projects

Here’s what you missed by not coming to my SAB class yesterday!  I have to say I really had fun playing with the Happy Moments  stamp set and loved, loved, loved using the Good Neighbor Designer series paper.  If you think that paper is all about houses, don’t be fooled!  There’s a TON of great colors and patterns in there.  (Although the houses are super cute too!) You can’t go wrong.

It’s funny, while I was creating these cards (which were mostly CASEd from other cards I’ve seen recently) I noticed I’m a white fan these days.  I used to always lean toward Very Vanilla as I thought Whisper White was too harsh.  But I’m finding I really like the clean, crisp, fresh look of Whisper White these days.  Anyway… just a random thought I thought I’d share.  Change is good!
