Creative Elements

The flower from the Creative Elements is one of my favourites and used on today's card.




I have teamed up the Print Poetry DSP and the current In Colours with this stamp set. I spayed the flower with Frost White Shimmer Paint ( which was mixed with rubbing alcohol) for a lovely shimmer ( unfortunately doesn't show up in this photo), after stamping with Midnight Muse ink and hand cut. I stamped the Very Vanilla card with Crumb Cake ink, also using the a Creative Elements set.
The leaves were stamped using Gumball Green ink and card, with Build a Blossom stamp set and matching punch.
The Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punched the Summer Starfruit. Punches for the sentiment are the Decorative Label, Scallop Oval and Word Window. A bit if bling was added using Rhinestones.

Bouncing brayer technique and Owl Builder punch

Hi

One of the demos at convention was using the brayer and this one is the "Bouncing Brayer" technique.




I used this for the centre piece of the card. It's so simple - just ink up your brayer and touch it on the card, lift, touch card again and continue along the card. As you lift, give a slight roll of the brayer so it turns the brayer around. I really like the effect and various designs can be achieved. I used Daffodil Delight ink on Very Vanilla card. I liked how it became lighter towards the top of the card. If you want the same colour all the way, just re- ink the brayer more often.
The base card in Daffodil Delight was embossed with the Woodgrain folder. The Basic Black was punched with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border and attached to the piece of card which was brayered.
Other punches used are Owl builder, Bird Builder for branches, Decorative Label, Scallop Oval, Modern Label, and Word Window.
I wanted to use a black Glimmer brad but unfortunately had run out, so I rolled the silver brad in Jet Black StazOn ink.
The branches are cut from Early Espresso Coordination card and sanded with the Sanding block. It is easier to sand the piece of card first before punching as it will tear very easily once punched.
I also embossed the front of the owl using the hearts from the Adorning Accents folders.
The sentiment from Made for You was stamped with versamark and embossed with Basic Black embossing powder.

Betsy's Blossoms

Hello

Today I am showing some more convention swaps. It's great to see so many different ideas.
The first one uses Betsy's Blossoms and Everything Eleanor stamp sets and made by Samantha.



This simple but very effective card made by Judy uses the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and Framelits. Dazzling Diamonds give a lovely glitter to the hearts.



Lorraine used the clockworks stamp set for this card as well as the Argyle embossing folder.


The stamp sets for Angela's card are Papillon Potpourri and Blooming with Kindness for the sentiment.




Thanks again to everyone who shared their great ideas.

Thought for the day-




Don't forget, the current catalogue finishes on 30th June. If you wish to purchase any of these products please contact me.

Tea for Two DSP

Hello again

Today we got together with some friends for a card class at Lyns and this is one of the cards we made. Check out www.lynwebb.stampinup.net for more of her beautiful creations.
This card has a beautiful vintage look using the Tea for Two DSP, Crochet Trim and Flower trim.


The sentiment from the Petite Pairs stamp set. The Ovals Collection Framelits were used as well as the delicate Doilies Sizzlits, and the flower was coloured using a Stampin Marker and blender pen. The Lacy brocade folder was used for embossing the Pretty in Pink card.

The 2nd card we made was a simple one but lovely using the Print Poetry DSP stack.




The sentiments are from Priority Mail stamp set, one of the Hostess sets, and the punches used are the Curly Label and the Petite Curly Label punch. The Raspberry Ripple Dahlia was attached with a glue dot.


Thought for the day-
What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?

Birthday card for gift card

Hello

This card today is great for including a gift card inside and of course can be designed for any occasion.




The Gumball Green card was cut at 12cm x 24cm and scored in half at 12cm. The top flap is cut from Raspberry Ripple using the Scallop Circle Bigz die with a Floral Frames Framelit to cut the Print Poetry DSP. The Scallop Circle was cut in half and the DSP was cut so it could be attached to the back of the Gumball Green as shown and folded to form the flap.







This is the card when opened. I used Raspberry Ripple and So Saffron, with an image stamped with the Flowering Flourishes set. Happy Birthday and A Gift for You are both from Bring on the Cake set.
On the front of the card I used the Very Vintage Wheel for the background on the So Saffron. I used versa mark but there seems like a bit of Ink from a previous card which shows a light pink colour. It actually suited this card so decided to used it. The brads are from the Antique brads and used Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine to wind around the brads to close the card.
Under the flap I added 2 flowers from the Boho Blossoms punch to cover the back of the brad. The punches on the front are the Decorative Label and Scallop Oval.

Convention swaps

Hi everyone

Well, unfortunately convention is over for another year. It was a great 3 days and for anyone that didn't get there, you missed out on lots of give always, loads of fun and great inspiration, but hopefully you will get there next year in Melbourne. I was inspired by so many of demonstrators and demonstrations I don't know where to start.
I haven't had a chance to get any cards made since getting back home but thought I would share just a few of the swaps I got. There are so many beautiful ones, I just can't wait to make some of my own using some of the techniques learnt over the past few days.





















These cards (from the top) were made by Alice, Janette, Karen, Sue, Jackie and Lyn. Thanks to everyone for sharing what we all love and enjoy, and for your friendship, both old and new.

Embossing powders

Today's card is a very quick and easy one as I don't have a lot of time today.




I used the Pewter embossing powder for the background with the Tool Shed stamp, and the Cherry Cobbler embossing powder for the sentiment from Bring on the Cake stamp set. The ribbon is the Seam Binding in Cherry Cobbler which I roughly ruffled on the card. I used the finishing Touches Egdelits for the a Cherry Cobbler card. The base card and background card are Naturals Ivory.
