Day 2 at convention

Wow no spare time at all, it is crazy. Just got back today and need a shower ready to go out again to awards night.

Make and takes are fabulous, as is the new catalogue.

New Punches larger circle and oval, square scallop and a fancy label. New stamp sets are great my wish list is huge.

Trying to find time to post some pics, maybe tomorrow!

I’m Here!!!

Well I got here, and boy is it hot. Apparently it is going to be between 94F and 104F, fortunately they don’t have humidity.

I have just got up and and getting ready to go get my bag and the new cattie!!

Meeting up with some fellow stampers and we are going to walk down after 9am to miss the mad rush as I don’t want to have my knee fixed again!

Will post later with some pics

Glittery Priceless

This one one of my Uplines designs. I tweaked it a little, but I am sure she won’t mind

Stamps: Priceless

Cardstock: Whisper White, Soft Sky, Really Rust, Soft Sky Designer paper

Inks: Soft Sky, Really Rust

Extras: Soft Sky double stitched ribbon, 2 way glue, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter

Discounted Retiring Accessories

Chocolate-Sky Baroque

The original idea for this card came from a demonstrator swap that I attended earlier this year, unfortunately I don’t know the demonstrators name who designed it. I loved the colour combination and just added some extra layers of cardstock to dress it up a bit.

Stamp Sets: Baroque Motifs

Cardstock: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip and Soft Sky

Ink: Soft Sky and VersaMark™

Extras: Clear Embossing powder, Silver embossing powder, Silver brad

The baroque swirl in the background is stamped in Soft Sky and the baroque medallion is stamped in VersaMark™ and then clear embossed. The “cherish” is embossed in silver to match the brad in the centre of the medallion.

Priceless Butterfly

Priceless is one on my favourite stamp sets, it is so versatile. This card was really popular at one of my classes and so simple to make.

Stamp sets: Priceless, Hugs and Wishes

Cardstock: River Rock, Ruby Red, Whisper White

Inks: River Rock, Ruby Red

Accesories: Scallop Circle Pinch, 1 3/8″ circle punch, corner rounder punch, 2 way glue, Dazzling diamonds glitter

The most challenging part of this card is cutting out the butterfly. Stamp the butterfly image onto River Rock using Ruby Red and punch out using the 1 3/8″ cirlce punch. The stamp again onto scrap white and cut out. Stick it onto the butterfly on the circle using a dimensional and you can see the antenna from the image underneath. This saves you cutting fiddly bits out!

Basic Grey Blossom Card

Basic Grey is one of those colours that I find hard to use. I goes so well with so many colours though and gives you a softer look than black.

This card uses the Bloomin; Beautiful set that was available in the Occasions Mini Collection

Stamps: Bloomin Beautiful, En Francais

Cardstock: Basic Grey, Mellow Moss and Whisper White

Ink: VersaMarker™, Basic Grey

Accessories: Corner Rounder punch, Basic Grey and Mellow Moss Taffeta ribbon.

Stamp the flower in Basic Grey onto the Mellow Moss and onto a scrap piece of white. Colour the mellow moss one in with the VersaMarker™ and cut out the flower head from the scrap white to make the flower focal point. the background En Francais is also stamped in Basic Grey onto the larger piece of Mellow Moss.

Goodbye Touch of Nature

I am so sad about Touch of Nature retiring this time around, it makes such lovely projects. Hopefully SU! will bring out something else just as versatile.

This is a recent class card

Stamps: Touch of Nature, Sincere Salutatiions

Cardstock: Blue Bayou, Soft Sky, Whisper White, Blue Bayou Designer paper

Ink: Blue Bayou, Soft Sky

Accesories: Whisper White taffeta ribbon

Bayou – Sky Simply Said

Simply Said is an all time favourite set. I find that you can do so much with it and I have many samples for all different occasions

 Stamp Sets:- Simply Said

Cardstock – Soft Sky, Blue Bayou, Whisper White.

Accesories: Soft Sky ribbon, Jumbo pewter eyelet, Crop-a-dile, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, 2 way glue.

Sorry about the wonky picture!
