Leadership Swap Cards

Another great thing about Stampin' Up! Events is the SWAPPING! You make as many card fronts as you want to swap - then you come home with tons of other ideas. So fun!

Here are a few that I love!

This is the set Bold Blossom from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I love the cheery bright colors on this card! Who wouldn't love to receive this in the mail? It would totally make my day!

This valentine has lot of fun shapes and element on it. It is the set Be My Valentine from the Mini Catalog, with a little help from the XOXO set. This one is made my my good friend Kimberly VanDiepen. :)

Ok, can I just say that I LOVE how the tulip embossing folder was not only used on the card base but also around the focal point? Very clever! Love the clean lines and simplicity of the White, Black and Real Red heart. This awesome card was made by my pal Tracy Altemose.

Stamp Camp Sample

As promised, here is another card we made at Stamp Camp on Saturday. My stamp room was all a bustle with two back to back camps. Everyone seemed to LOVE the cards and a great time was had by all.

I just love this card and layout! It features the new 2-Step Bird Punch. When I first saw this punch in the mini catalog, I wasn't wild about it. But then I went to Leadership and saw tons of awesome samples, and I fell in love! It punches the branch, bird and wing all at once!

We used the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder to emboss on the Rich Razzleberry piece. The Designer Paper is Cottage Wall, and it's just soooo pretty! The border punch down the side is the Scallop Trim Border Punch and it's one of the FREE offerings during Sale-A-Bration.

The bird piece flaps open to reveal a white piece underneath to stamp a greeting or jot a quick note. I love cards that feature a cool fold!

To make this card:

Rich Razzleberry - 5 -1/2" x 4 -1/4"

Cottage Wall Designer Paper - 5 -1/2" x 3"

Orchid Opulance Cardstock - 5- 1/2" x 1"

Layer pieces for the Bird:

Whisper White - 2- 1/2" x 2- 1/2"

Rich Razzleberry - 2 - 3/4" x 2-3/4"

Old Olive - 3" x 3"

Directions:

1. Emboss the Rich Razzleberry Piece using the Elegent Bouquet Embossing Folder and the Big Shot.

2. Fold the strip of Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper in 1/2 legth wise. Attach to the back of the Rich Razzleberry Cardstock.
3. Scallop the edge of the Orchid Opulance strip and adhere underneath the front piece of the Cottage Wall Designer Paper.
4. Punch bird, wing and brach using the 2 step Bird Punch.
5. Adhere branch to the Whisper White Piece.
6. Sponge bird and wing with Rich Razzleberry Ink. Adhere together.
7. Attach bird to branch with Stampin Dimensional.
8. Attach bird piece to Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive layers.
9. Adhere to front flap.
10. Inclue a 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" Whisper White piece on the inside to stamp greeting.

As you can see, this card is EASY PEASY! You could crank them out in no time at all and they are super cute. My stamping friends LOVED them yesterday!

Stamp Camp Sneak Peak

Saturday Jan 23rd is my first Stamp Camp of the new year! I have been having so much fun playing with the new stamps and accessories! I hope my customers love them as much as I do!

Here are 2 of the projects we are making tomorrow.

It should come as no surprise that we will be using Vintage Vogue! It's my favorite set from the Occasions Mini Catalog and so versatile! This card uses Soft Suede, Very Vanilla and Bravo Burgandy ink and cardstock. The greeting is from a set called Vintage Labels and it is one of the Sale-A-Bration sets you can get for FREE with a $50 order. I added quite a bit of sponging on this card to make it look antique. A few gold brads adds just a hint of bling. ;0)

This card is simply Very Vanilla and Pretty in Pink and features the I {heart} Hearts Stamp Set and the Sending Love Designer Series Paper. I love that this paper is pre glittered! No mess!

The scallop is made from the new Pinking Hearts Border Punch. I wanted to show this set can be used for so much more than just valentines' day. Any day is a good day to spread a little love.

The greeting is a set called Whimsical Words. There are 8 greetings in this set that all have that beautiful font. It is another FREE SET option with a $50 order.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a great weekend!
Tune in tomorrow for the other 2 projects from Stamp Camp!

Hope you can join me next time.

Mini Catalog Inspiration

After my group meeting on Sunday, I had some down time to play with all my new stampin' goodies! I made a couple of cards that I want to share with you today.


Now, I have to apologize up front...I am hooked on the Vintage look...Vintage Vogue Stamp set in particular. A few more cards and I should get it out of my system. LOL.




This card features the Bella Bleu Designer Paper and the new Vanilla Satin Ribbon...I also added a vanilla half back pearl from the Pretties Kit to the center of the flower.





This is simply Bashful Blue and Soft Suede. The top portion of the card was embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots folder, and sponged. The greeting is the Well Scripted Stamp Set in the Mini Catalog. The ribbon is Vanilla Taffeta. The punch is the Sale-A-Bration offering...get it for FREE with a $50 order. I added a vanilla button to the center of the flower and did a bit more sponging.


Stay tuned for more samples coming your way!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

More Leadership Samples

Here are some more swaps that I got at Leadership. I love them all and I hope you will enjoy them also! These all featurs the new stamp set I {heart} Hearts on the Occasions Mini Catalog. How awesome that it also coordinates with the Full Heart and Heart to Heart Punches! You will also notice a new set on the first two in a beautiful font...that is the Well Scripted Stamp Set, also found in the Occasions Mini. So many new great stamps and accessories available, that I have to have them all! :)



The scallop trim border punch on this first card is one of the many FREE Sale-A-Bration items. You can get it for FREE with a qualifying order!




This new border punch is the Pinking Hearts punch. When you punch it out, it leaves all these cute little heart confetti. :) This is also found in the Occasions Mini Catalog.



The greeting on this sample is Whimsical Words and is another one of the FREE selections during Sale-A-Bration. There are so many wonderful choices this year, you're going to have a hard time choosing just one!
