last Make n' Take

Well, here is the last project made at the Vancouver Regionals that I attended at the end of February. SU really outdid themselves this time around as the projects were beautiful and we got to use many accessories. Its always fun to see them in real life before buying....
I LOVE the seam binding that is found on pg 16 as its so light and easy to work with. Also good if mailing as it doesn't weight down your card.

I'll be posting some card fronts swaps that my fellow team members rec'd at Regionals next.

Happy Stampin'

simple and elegant

Here is another make n take from the Regionals I went to.
We each received the set - Nature Walk which can be found on pg 27 of the Occasions Mini catalog. I love the idea of taking a SU marker and colouring the white rosettes (pg 16). Its always a nice touch to stamp an envelope to match as well...don't you agree?

Hello!

Sorry for not posting earlier but we had a power outage monday morning and our desktop fried :( Anyway....after a few days at the computer dr, a new power supply added we are all good to go!

Here is one of the make n take's we made at the Vancouver Regionals last Saturday!!!! The projects were really over the top so we stamped as much as we could given the timeframe there, and brought the rest home to finish. I was proud of myself as for once I set aside time the day after Regionals and completed ALL the make n takes...before I put the supplies away! Anyway this was one of my favourties...it uses lots of neat accessories. Hard to make out but there is dazzling diamonds around each of the circles with the letter on it. Can you see all the neat accessories on the close ups?????? Posting more this week so stay tuned!!!

Happy Stampin'

White Crayon resist


hello again, thanks for dropping by.
Y'know when you see a card on a stampers blog and you just are in awe, and you instantly fall in love...well I had that happen when I saw this card. You can find the original on stampinfunwithselene's blog! I love the colours Wild Wasabi and Baja Blue together. I purchased the Baja Blue seam binding for this card (and clubs) and its so lightweight and easy to use. We also use the Easter Blossom stamp set, and the Springtime Vintage designer paper.
This card showcases the White Crayon resist technique. An oldie, but a goodie in my opinion. So easy, and so elegant.
Hope you like it!

Build a Blossom

Greetings,

Well yesterday I had one of the best days I've had in a long time. Stampin' Up! came to Vancouver!! Yes...it was Regionals. The last time they came here was 4 years ago! So I was in dire need of a creative tune up :)

Anyway I"ll be sharing the make n' take projects we made in the upcoming days but I thought I"d share what the gals in my clubs made in February.

There was quite a bit of interest in the Build a Blossom stamp set (pg 12 of the Occasions Mini) and the matching punch when we all saw it at first. I thought this would be a great stamp set to show since the punch didn't line up with the set, like in some sets SU has come out with before. Soooo I found a card idea I liked and went with it! I love the shimmer paint mixed in with rubbing alchohol. I truly believe ANY card would probably benefit from a spritz of that stuff!!! Can't go wrong with glitter :) Colours were Rose Red and Pear Pizazz for paper. Ink was Rose Red and Always Artichoke. We used the Springtime Vintage designer paper (pg 15 of the Occasion Mini) as well on both cards this month! LOVE LOVE LOVE that paper! Adornments are the embellishment which are found on pg 15 as well. Hope you like it!

p.s. one thing I recommend when positioning your petals is to punch out a circle and adhere snail to it and then place them on that. Worked well at our clubs!
