Stampin' Up! Convention 2011

-
I am just back from 4 fun and busy days in Utah. The trip was amazing, I learned so much! We were treated like Stampin' Up! royalty. Did I mention we got many FREE gifts! We got to see the upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog first and some new SU! products were unveiled. All in all it was an event to remember. Over the next few week I will be sharing with you some of the highlights.
It is customary, though optional, to bring card fronts to swap with fellow demonstrators. I made about 75 total. Here is my first one, it is using the Posy Punch hostess stamp set.
SUPPLIES
Stamp Sets: Posy Punch and Friendly Phrases
Ink: Early Espresso and Pool Party
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Sahara Sand, Pool Party, Whisper White and Calypso Coral card stock; sahara sand patterns dsp
Accessories: Polka Dots embossing folder; decorative label, extra-large oval, fancy flower, 2-3/8" scallop circle, dotted scallop border, 3/4" circle and itty bitty punches; basic rhinestones; dimentionals

I look forward to sharing with you all of my convention highlights in the coming weeks!

Gift Card Flower Bouquet

It is the end of the school year for us.....finally! I can't wait to have my kids home for the summer. I love lounging in PJ's all day, and taking fun day trips to the beach or museums. I'm sure those days will include sibling arguments and a messy house but I choose not to think about that. I have tons of kids activities pinned on Pinterest for those moments I will want to pull my hair out. And when I need a break I will lock myself in my bedroom and skim the internet for new card ideas. That's my plan anyways, we shall see what happens.... Anyways, with the end of the school year comes class parties, school events and teacher gifts. I was room mom for one of my boys classrooms and my co-room mom and I decided on a gift card bouquet for her. It was really fun to put together. I used all of my favorite punches and some techniques I learned from Carrie Cudney herself at the SU convention last year. You can see a quick tutorial on one of the flowers I made  here . ...

Thanks for visiting today! Here is my Frosty Friends swap card for the Over the Top swap, "Bling It". This swap was organized by Barbara Jackson, thanks Barbara I had a great time. Frosty Friends stamp set (C) Stampin' Up! I tried to use as many "blingy" things as I could. I used our silver glimmer paper, basic rhinestones,dazzling diamonds glitter, and shimmer paint. Now with the shimmer paint I used the new spritzers available in the new catalog, I poured some of the paint in the spritzer, added some water and spritzed the paint onto my card. I used my two way glue on the snowmen by tracing the outlines and then sprinkling on the dazzling glitter. The snowflake is cut using our new snowflake die. SUPPLIES stamp set: Frosty Friends, Easy Events ink: staz on black, early espresso paper: sahara sand, whisper white, cherry cobbler, and pool party card stock; pool party designer prints paper accessories: cherry cobbler seam binding, ribbon punch, s...

I really love the versatility of this set. Its so easy to create fun and useful cards, tags and gifts. The boxed set comes with two ink spots, a block, stamp set and matching punch. I matched this with the Tea Room dsp, a specialty paper with 24 sheets. The layers are created with punches, stitched shapes and layering squares framelits. Because the envelopes are quite snug, you want to keep your layers flat, I only used one layer of dimentionals per card. Happy Stampin, Tricia
