TWO LAST SWAPS

Here are my other General Swaps, another one using Bokeh Dots.  A Holiday Theme using Smoky Slate and Shaded Spruce.  LOVE these colors together!!

I used the Stamparatus to stamp everything except the ground around the trees.  The Starry Night look of this Bokeh stamp is a perfect Winter back drop.  Shaded Spruce ink on Shaded Spruce card stock.

I got a little heave handed with the Frost Shimmer paint, but still love the effect.

And the LAST one!!  Dashing Deer with the Seasonal Wreath in Mossy Meadow.  I inked the embossing folder with Champagne Shimmer paint and Mossy Meadow ink.  Roll it thru the Big Shot and the ink transfers to the card front!  LOVE!

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow.  The Deer was embossed with Gold Embossing powder and cut out with the matching framelits.  Gold Thread added and popped up.  Super simple, yet Full of Shine for the Holidays!

And the embossing folder washes right off!!

Orlando or Bust!

What a crazy week this has been, much to do and very little time to get it done!  These are my Downline gifts.  2 of my downline will be in Orlando for Stampin' Ups 30th Anniversary!  Can't wait to enjoy this journey with 2 of my Friends!!

Over 7,000 demonstrators will be in attendance and we ALL get the same BAG of goodies!!  So a BAG TAG is a MUST have in Orlando.  I made these for my Team and of course they are Purple!  The 30 is Glimmer paper, which I put on the inside of the badge holder so we would not be covered in glimmer!  Which that is not a BAD thing!

Back side my favorite Halloween pattern in Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape, so loving the 2 new Purples in our Color Selection!  And perfect size for your Hotel key card!

Stampin' Ups statement of the Heart on a box of goodies.  Some emergency chocolate and hand cream.

And finally a little card with an altered sentiment......the flower covers up the word US.   I would LOVE to have more Team members.  Will you join US next year??  Stay tuned for the Adventures to come in the next few days.  I may try a FB LIVE!!!  

Mini Gable boxes  146961  $8.00 for 12 boxes.  Perfect to decorate for the Holidays!  Available in Silver also!

Ready to SWAP

I know I have used the term SWAP before, we Demos love a good swap.  New ideas and a chance to OOH and AHH over everyone's creations.  I always try to be ME in my swaps.  My natural trend does not always go over with the masses.  But us Natural gals will find one another and GET the vision we were going for in our SWAPS! 

I used the Bokeh Backgrounds on both my General swaps.  The stamparatus made this a fairly simple process.  Mount the stamp once and move the paper along to get as many images you can on the paper and then cut the image out with the trimmer.  Lots of folks have trouble with this stamp and are not in LOVE with the muted tones.  The Nature lover in me sees a Tranquil floating background and Dandelion Wishes!  The card recipe is printed and included in each swap so recipients will know the colors and ingredients if they want to re-create or they can always "change it up" and make it their own.

After cutting the Bokeh Dots image, I used my Grid paper to line up and adhere.  I then stamped the Dandelion and added a Silver pearl to pull in the Smoky Slate layer.

Bokeh Dots 148110  Wood $20.00,  148113 $15.00

Dandelion Wishes  146744 Wood $28.00,  146747 Clear $20.00   THIS IS A MUST HAVE stamp set!!

Metallic Pearls 146282 $7.00

Swap Sneak Peek.....

Onstage (new name for Convention) is a little over 2 weeks away and I am signed up for 2 organized swaps.  A first for me in my 6 years of going to Convention.  This swap is Black and White plus 1 additional color.  We had to pick our color and I chose Rich Razzleberry.   I  have been waiting for my Botanical Garden framelits and thankfully they shipped today!!  But a DEAR customer, Deb allowed me to borrow hers so I could get started. 

Designing a card is not always easy.  This idea has been running around in my head for weeks, so when the backorder report projected a ship date of April 4th, panic set in.  Would I get the framelits in time to make the card?  Would the card turn out like I imagined?   Here is my first go at my swap.  I like it, but needs some tweaking.......I wanted to use Silver Metallic Thread behind the White Flower, but Silver cannot be used unless Silver is your Plus 1 color.....Boo Hiss.  So I may add a Rhinestone to each flower and add a bit of Clear Wink of Stella to the petals.  Not sure, can't give away the final card until after the swap!!

Flower Shop is carrying over to the New Catalog!!  Woo HOO!!  SU gave us a short list so we could make swaps with current product.  I have a feeling I am going to get a lot of swaps with this stamp set!  I used Whisper White THICK embossed with the Brick embossing folder.  Cut the Black card stock at 5 1/2 X 4 1/4.  Cut leaves on both sides with the Botanical Gardens Framelits.  This layer is popped up.  Stamped and punched flowers and added a bit of Black satin Stitched ribbon.  The verdict is still out on the ribbon?  What do you think?  Silver Thread right!!!  LOL!!

Ingredients:

Botanical Blooms and Framelits Bundle  140819 $51.75  Photopolymer

Flower Shop Bundle  132727 wood $34.00,  132726 clear $28.75  includes punch!!

Brick wall embossing folder 138288 $8.50

Black Satin ribbon  138430 $9.00
