Postage is Due

Postage Punch

Blossom Bouquet Triple Layered Punch!

I did this card a while ago.  But still had to show it off!

I used Whisper White, Regal Rose and Early Espresso cardstock for this card.  For the background on the Whisper White I used the Big Shot with the "Perfect Polka Dots" Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  If you have never used one of these you really have to try it out!  Stampin' Up! has 15 different folders now.  They give your project just enough dimension.  You are going to love them!

I also used the punch called "Postage Stamp".  I am really beginning to like this punch allot.  I also used the punch on the top and bottom edge to the Regal Rose cardstock.  You just insert your cardstock into the punch to get the edge of your cardstock.  Then just slide it down to match the last punch image to match up and continue down the cardstock until done.  Very easy! 

The flower....was made with the NEW punch called "Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer".  Stampin' Up! just came out with this one and one called "Doily Triple Layer". You are going to like these as well!  You can make 3 different punch designs with each punch.  The layering is an easy and great way to use on your projects.

Summer Mini Catalog is here only until August 31st!

Happy Stamping!

Hello Swaps

Love to swap!

This card was one of my general swap cards for convention this year.  This year I made close to 300 card fronts for convention.  Think that is crazy...other people make more than that when they go.  But it is all worth it when you get there and you swap like crazy.  I will have to take a picture of all the swap cards that I received back.

The cardstock that I used on this card is Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White.  I used a new stamp set that came in the the 2011/2012 catalog called "My Friend".  Great Set!  For the cluster of leaves and flowers I did a technique called Thumbing.  It is where you take your stamp and ink it up with your desired color and then take a Stampin' Up! marker (which should be darker) and thumb with it on the inked stamp.  (You are making spots of color all over you stamp)  When finish thumbing you will then huff on your stamp and stamp it on your cardstock.  How great is that!!  Easy, but yet such a great effect.  I also added a Basic Rhinestone to the little saying to give it that little extra Bling.

I hope you like it!  I will have more of my swaps throughout this week and I am sure into next.

You can get your own stamp set and create your own card using the Thumbing Technique.

Thank you for stopping!

My Convention Buddies

How Cute are they!?!?

These are my travel and convention buddies.  From Left to right, Myself, Laurie Zoellmer, a fellow demonstrator in our group, Dawn Olchefske, which is our upline and Jenny Maetzell, which is also a fellow demonstrator.  This is my second year going to convention.  But it was Jenny's 1st convention.  Do you remember your 1st convention.  I do, it is so exciting and you are just in awww.  Jenny had a great time and had the same feeling. Our upline Dawn O was ranked as the 25th top demonstrator and a friend of ours Kelly Acheson was ranked as #10.  WTG ladies.  But to top off the night...Dawn received a great honor with being picked by Shelli to be on the Advisory Board.  Congrats to you Dawn!  We had a BLAST!!  You couldn't ask for better convention buddies.  Thank you all for such a great trip.

This year was so amazing at convention.  With the GROW and Plus One theme Stampin' Up! has out done themselves.  We received Extra Stamp sets and a whole pack of the Holiday Mini's that will coming out.  Sneak peek of what is in the Holiday Mini.  The classes we awesome.  I will be sharing more on some extra classes that we took as well.  You are not going to want to miss these projects!
