Timeless Elegance Convention Card.

Hello my friends. 

I have a quick post for you today showcasing the beautiful Designer Series paper Timeless Elegance. If you were here yesterday you saw the gorgeous paper on my card. I did mention a great technique to apply to that paper and here is a card I saw at convention. 

Convention2

Isn't  fabulous. So vintage and regal looking. Now should you like to play with this , just give me a call or email and we can set up a technique class for you and your friends.

And as always you can shop online and purchase this beautiful paper. You can find it on page 143 of the big catalogue and the # is 138444. 

Now check back with me, I have loads of pictures to share from a great convention. 

Have a wonderful day. 

Cheers from....

Butterflies!!! for Stamping and Blogging Sketch #114

 

Happy Wednesday to all!!!

I very excited as my vacation starts tomorrow and I am heading to Salt Lake for the convention!!!

Meeting with old friends....Yah Sandi!!!!  and I know I will make loads of new ones. But for now here we go to the  card I have for you today. I just love how it turned out ... I hope you do as well.

SB114

I had a little love affair with butterflies for this card. The Pink Pirouette and the Blackberry Bliss were both put through the fabulous "Fluttering" Embossing Folder. I must say this folder is GORGEOUS. 

 Then I used both the Bold Butterfly Framelits and the Butterfiles Thinlits dies to build my beauties. One was made with the Fancy Foil Designer Vellum, the next one with the gorgeous Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper,  the last one with the pink. I layered them and adhered with glue dots. 

Sb114.2

 

The banner was also made with the Dazzling Diamonds Paper. And the little dots I punched out with the tiny circle from the Itty Bitty Accent Punch Pack. I love these punches....a must have if you don't already.  Some from the dazzling Diamonds and some from the circles on the Vellum. 

Sb114.3

And the inside ( Amy we get to meet very soon!!!) just wanted it's own butterflies so out came the punches and tada !!! So pretty and so easy. Here are the links for you ...we all love easy peasy shopping, right...

Price: $6.50

Go Wild for Stamping and Blogging Sketch #113

 

Hello everyone.....today I went simple!!! I tried to "jazz" this card up but went back to basics and I think it works.

Whenever you need a card in a hurry keep it simple!!!! I hope you like it.

SB113

 

Wowzers, right. The card base is basic black and then I added a strip of the Go Wild from the paper stack. I matted it with Watermelon Wonder and cut out the label from the Chalk Talk Framelits. I ran the black through the Honeycomb Embossing folder to somewhat mimic the design on the DSP.

 I used one of the fabulous sentiments from the Expressions Natural Elements . These are so beautifully made. And the natural look was just what it needed. It is adhered with the multipurpose glue.

 

IMG_0468
 

 Here we are close up, notice the sponging on the label as well. And because Amy is so amazing I had to put something inside for fun.



Sb113.3

 

So here are the links for some easy shopping but remember I sure would give you a hand if you need. 

  

 We have the sketch for all to play with.....we love seeing what you can create as well. So jump into the link right below this ....

Good Things for Stamping and Blogging Sketch #112

 Happy day to all!! I hope you are all keeping cool and safe with this weird and crazy weather we are having.  As it is soooooo hot out there I have spent some time inside stamping with the air conditioner going full blast. Here is the card for todays sketch.

SB112

 

 The Fancy Foil Designer Vellum gave me the inspiration with the stripes and then the hearts added a little fun. I ran the Mossy Meadow through Mr. Big with the Chevron Embossing folder to add some more interest. 

Here is what happened inside.... left overs are great fun.  

 

Sb112.1

 

Just a small piece of the stripes on the corner and punched out the little hearts with the tiny heart from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch trio. I placed all of these with glue dots. 

Here is the sketch now off you go, see what you can create. Don't forget to check out the rest of the design teams creations, they sure inspire me. Have fun.

Flower Shop for Sketch #111

 

 Happy Wednesday and Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends!!!

It is cooking hot here.....my studio is about 35 celsius....that's over my limit so fast post today. Hope you like my funky colours....

SB111

 So Melon Mambo for the card and then went crazy with Mint Macaron and Bermuda Bay. I put the Pansy punch to good use here.....

Sb111.1

 

 The side is stamped off with Petite Petals and the leaves are from the bird builder punch. A quick sentiment from Remember This and ta da.

And believe it or not the inspiration for these colors came from a gift bag, so pretty.

 Now here is the sketch...I hope you play along.
