Kim created this pretty Printed Petals swap card.
I made this Flutter card for a recent demonstrator swap.The sentiment is from the In A Word stamp set (Summer Mini).
I love the Crystal Effects on the coconut drink on this card, which was a swap at our demo meeting. It adds that thick, shiny layer nobody can resist touching!
The peek at upcoming new catalog products - the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and the hostess set Because I Care - got my club members eager for July 1.This Pretty in Pink card has another layer that's been run through the Big Shot with the new embossing folder and adhered with dimensionals after knotting white organza around it.
We used the Pretty in Pink pad to ink up the hydrangea, then an Old Olive marker for the stem and leaves. The Ticket Corner Punch notched out the corners of the Whisper White and Old Olive layers. Those were also adhered with dimensionals to the front of the card after adding the sentiment (punched with the Curly Label Punch).
This card was CASE'd from Ruth Norton.
Just like you, I'll surf some blogs looking for stamping inspiration. Unfortunately with these three cards, I lost the original creators' names... so if one of these is yours, please let me know and I'll give you credit.
My club members enjoyed making this easel card using the Voila stamp set, which is retiring at the end of the month.
Kim was an over-achiever at our most recent demonstrator gathering, stamping two swaps!Kim used the Cutter Kit to distress the top two layers, and added more texture with the embossing folder on the card base.
The sentiment was punched using the oval scallop punch, sponged, and adhered to the card with dimensionals.
The Fourth of July is a favorite around here - lots of fireworks, neighbors, and potluck food!Dazzling Diamonds glitter was added to the red star (popped up with dimensionals), as well as the numeral 4.
Brandy brought this Chocolate Chip Bitty Box (a die for the Big Shot) as a make & take to our demo meeting.We used a 1-1/4" circle punch to make the window (easiest done before assembling the box!), then adhered a window sheet over the opening. We used SNAIL on the top of the words and stuck it to the underside of the window.
The flowers are from the Boho Blossoms punch. We punched a couple out of Old Olive card stock and adhered those to the box lid, then punched more flowers out of Razzleberry Lemonade paper, adding a brad to hold them together.
A strip of Tall Tales dsp is wrapped around the box with a knot of 1/4" grosgrain over that.
Best of all? Inside there are two chocolate Hershey's squares. Yum!
Bea brought this glittery make & take to our demo gathering Saturday.
Paula brought this card as a make & take to our American Ink demo gathering yesterday at my studio.
As Stampin' Up! demonstrators, we can receive this new Level 1 hostess set called Because I Care free when pre-ordering new colors this month. What a deal!
We had so much fun yesterday at our demo meeting that Paula literally fell out of her chair! She's a lot of fun. Check out this cool card with the Three Little Words stamp set.
It took hours to organize my retiring stamps and rearrange those that are sticking around. THEN I could start playing with the stamps - such as this Friends Never Fade set - I pre-ordered from the new catalog (you'll get it July 1).
I believe this is Brandy's swap. It uses the Vintage Vogue stamp set, along with Great Friend and some Vanilla Hodgepodge and white organza ribbon.
My Man Card Stamp-a-Stack was a lot of fun last night, and not just because Kim brought a cake.Another new Summer Mini item - the Extra-Large Cogs Double Punch - was used with Basic Gray card stock. And the sentiment was from the King of the Grill set.
This shirt card was just fun to make. I used the instructions from Amy Celona's blog to prep this card for my Man Card Stamp-a-Stack last night.I added a sentiment from the FYI stamp set and punched it out with the large oval punch.
What I forgot - I took this photo before adding two gold brads on the points of the collar. Try this - it's fun!
Though there are only two layers to this Tempting Turquoise card, several things are going on.We used markers to color in the candles - Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Certainly Celery and So Saffron. And to finish the card, we knotted Real Red satin ribbon over the middle "blank" space.
I CASE'd this card from http://www.SoShelli.com.
I played around with this graduation card for my friend's son, Josh.
Kim created this earthy card using Le Jardin Botanique stamp set, which will retire at the end of June.The card base and ink is Handsome Hunter, which is also retiring, along with all of the corduroy buttons.
