February Stamp Class


Check out this neat birthday card with a 3D ice cream cone!  I used Balloon Bash and Big Day stamp sets.  You can earn the Big Day set for free with a $50 order during Sale A Bration.



Here's a fun technique called emboss resist.  If you been stamping for awhile, you've probably done this technique but if you haven't then you should learn this one!  This background sized stamp, Corner Garden, is new in the annual catalog this year.  Those little glimmer butterflies are silver and inked with Lost Lagoon ink.



This is a nice bright card that will help you use up your scraps!   Lots of bright colors here!
The stems and leaves are shapes from the bird builder punch.


I cased this card from a swap I received at leadership conference last month.  It features the new Butterfly Basics bundle!  How fun to cut these beautiful butterflies with the framelets and gold metallic cardstock. Use a butterfly cut out as a stencil to sponge gold ink onto this card!

Celebrate Your Big Day

I love this cute birthday card inspired by Stacey Lane's blog and Shelli on stage at leadership!  Shelli used the starred balloon stamp from Balloon Bash to stamp 6 balloons and punch them out with a 3/4 in circle punch.  She put them together with glue dots to make the ice cream in the cone!  The words are from the Sale A Bration set, Big Day, which you can get free for a limited time with a $50 merchandise order.  The paper is Birthday Bash speciality paper and gold foil.  I used the argyle embossing folder for the cone which I punched using the tree punch.  The little Cherry on top is from the cup cake builder punch and red glimmer paper!  The word and letters are colored with Blendabilities.

Leadership Swaps!

Can't believe this was already a week ago.  Carol and I enjoying sweet treats at Disney after our private showing of Fantasmic!  We were exhausted and sleep deprived after a quick trip down to Orlando!  She had gotten sick the day we were supposed to go so we felt lucky to be there!  We knew we could always sleep later!




While at Leadership, we managed to pick quite a few impressive swaps!  I'll try to share most of those with you over the coming days! Here's a great card using the new butterfly framelet!



How about this bright card!  Best Day Ever, a great stamp set for making exceptional cards!

Fun at Leadership 2015

        


It was quite a roller coaster ride getting to Orlando for the Leadership conference this year.  I always travel with my upline, Carol Payne.  She got sick the evening before we planned to leave so we thought we might have to cancel!  We ended up delaying our flights and leaving the next morning.  We hurried as much as we could and finally arrived at leadership during lunch on the first day!  In spite of all the problems we had a wonderful time.

      

Thursday night was Managers Reception.  This is a special event for those who have obtained the level of manager and are performing at that level.  We were bussed to the Disney World where we viewed a private showing of Disney's Fantasmic.  After that there were rides and lots of sweets!  I was ready for bed after this full day!


Shelli showed us how she used this baby bumble bee stamp during main session!  The cutest little stamp, now I must have it!

Well, it's off to bed with me!  I managed to come home with a sinus infection and need to get well so I can start planning our next class.

Happy stamping!
