Thanks Card Swap

Hello,

Wow....it has been beautiful here in Indiana today! The temperature is upper 80's with a wonderful breeze. I hope it has been a great day in your area.

Today's card is one that I made for our monthly swap. The theme for August card swap was Thank You cards. I used Old Olive, Sahara Sand and Rich Razzleberry cardstock. The Old Olive is embossed with SU Finial Press Embossing Folder using the Big Shot. "Thanks" is stamped using the set Perfect Punches (120516). Then punched out using the Scallop Oval Extra-Large Punch(119856). The flowers were stamped using Greenhouse Garden stamp set (113824). Once the card was stamped I added the Flower Designer Brad (112579) and then using a Stampin' Write Marker and the Color Spritzer Tool (107066) I spritzed the ink over the card.

If you have any questions about any SU product or if you have any questions about this wonderful company, please don't hesitate to contact me. I would love to have you on my SU team!! Also, if you would like to get some friends together for a workshop, I promise that we will have a lot of fun!!

Elements of Style

Hello,

Wow...this weekend sure has gone by fast!! Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the Linton Park enjoying a family reunion with relatives on my husband's side. It turned out to be a great day!! After eating and visiting we headed back to Bloomfield and spent the night at my Daughter's house. My sister-in-law and her daughter from Kentucky also stayed the night and us girls stayed up talking and laughing until 3:00 am. I am beginning to feel it as the day goes by. But...I would do it again because we had so much fun!!

The card I want to share today is using the stamp set: Elements of Style. I just love this set!! It comes with 5 images and you also have the choice of wood mount (118611 $27.95) or clear mount (120045 $19.95) stamps. I used whisper white, basic black and rich razzleberry card stock. Basic black, and rich razzleberry inks along with brads, the modern label punch, scallop trim border punch and the word window punch.

If you have any questions about any of the products used on this card, please contact me. I would love to show you and your friends all about Stampin' Up! Call me today to schedule your workshop!

Happy Birthday!

Hello,

Today's post is going to be a short one. I want to share another card that I made 25 of to take and swap at convention. After getting to convention I was afraid this card wasn't good enough to swap. I love the colors in this card and I like the vintage look, but I feel like it is missing something. Any suggestions? Feel free to post what I could do to this card to make it for the better. If you have any questions about any of the products used in this card, please feel free to contact me at: sraines1107@att.net.

Stampin' Up! has a brand new catalog. You can view it by clicking on the idea book on my side bar. This new catalog is awesome!! I have a wish list a mile long!! Let me know if you are interested in receiving one of these.

Swap for SU Convention

Hello....I apologize for missing for so long! I just came back from Stampin' Up! Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. All I can say is WOW!! I loved this company before, but after going to my first convention, this company is AWESOME!!

I wanted to share a card today that I took as a swap card. I made 80 of this card to swap with other demonstrator's from all over the world. I wish I would have had time to make many more. I received so many great cards in return! This card was so fun to make, even after making 80 of them. I used one of my favorite Christmas stamp sets called Winter Post (#111780). This stamp set has 7 different images in it. For the background I used En Francais (#109521), I have used this background stamp on several projects. I also used 3 different punches: Jumbo Snowflake (#116628), Modern Label (#116630) and Word Window (#105090). I used an embossing folder and the big shot on the Old Olive card stock.

Call me today to schedule your workshop and we can get started on your Christmas Cards. Stampin' Up! has just came out with a new Idea Book & Catalog. My wish list is a mile long!!!! If you have any questions at all, please e-mail me at: sraines1107@att.net.

Have a great day!
