I've not been blogging for quite a while, but have decided there is no better time than today. Yesterday was Friday the 13th. It was a lucky day for me. I signed my first recruit so I have moved up to Supervisor at Stampin' Up. I also had another person who found me through my Stampin' Up website and came to my house to get a catalog, so I decided that I better get this site current.
I held a workshop last night. It was a great time especially with the promotion "Reason to Smile". Anyone who purchases $50 in products in July can purchase this special stamp for only $5.
We made cards using the stamp set and a variety of techniques. Here are two of them.
Both of the cards I CASEed from Splitcoast Stampers website. This one of my favorite places to go to for ideas: splitcoaststampers.com
The first card uses Summer Starfruit, Marina Mist, and Whisper White Cardstock and Marina Mist ink. I used the Reason to Smile stamp set with white embossing powder. The butterfly is from the Papillon Potpourri stamp set using black Stazon ink and the Elegant Butterfly punch, accented with a rhinestone. The saying is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and was cut out with Bitty Banners Framelits. I used the Argyle embossing folder, the Finishing Edges Edgelits, and white 1/4" stitched grosgrain ribbon. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set using the modern label punch and the
1 1/4" square punch. I attached it with white Baker's Twine and a glue dot.
The second card uses Gumball Green, Melon Mambo, and Whisper White card stock. I used the Reason to Smile stamp set, stamping the daisies with Melon Mambo ink. I markered the flowers on the right with Melon Mambo and Gumball Green and punched them out with the 1 1/4" square. I used the 1 3/8" punch with Melon Mambo cardstock. The ribbon is 3/8" stitched Satin Ribbon in Gumball Green.
Now I will be spending time gearing up for the new holiday catalog that comes out Aug. 1. Come back and check out my previews for the new catalog.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
