Fine Art Virtual Crop - Crop Kingston

March 20, 2021 in Birthday, card, Crop Kingston, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, Stampin' Cut & Emboss

Today was our Crop Kingston March Virtual Crop using the Fine Art Floral designer series paper. Lisa and myself had fun sharing our projects with class attendees during the virtual event today. This morning I went live in the group and shared how to create the 4 cards I designed but with a twist! I switched up the designer series patterns on today's cards but kept the same overall design. Then during the afternoon I was able to sit down and create this card. We provide our attendees with a creative challenge at each crop. While I wasn't following the challenge I did share this extra card design to the group.

We would love for you to join us for our Ice Cream Virtual Crop with Crop Kingston on Saturday April 17th! Choose from our Card To Go Kit, Scrapbook To Go Kit or Virtual Crop Access Pass! Each option includes a PDF of the card & scrapbook projects along with access to our exclusive Facebook group where we will share live videos, additional ideas using the products and more!

Pretty Cards and Paper Blog Hop - True Love

March 19, 2021 in Birthday, Blog Hop, card, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, Pretty Cards & Paper, Stampin' Cut & Emboss

Welcome to March's Pretty Cards & Paper blog hop! This month we are using the True Love designer series paper to create our projects.

There are some beautiful designs in this pack of designer series paper and some what I call tricky to look at designs (the ones that hurt to look at for too long in full size). What I love about this pack is that it is in black and white so that you can choose what it will look like in the end. Leave it black and white or add in some colour like I have with the Blending Brushes or colour in the entire flower piece with Stampin' Blends. So many options!

This colour combo: Rococo Rose, Mossy Meadow and Pool Party was the winner of the "which one do you like better" challenge that was in my Instagram stories on Wednesday.

Next up you can visit these other blogs to see what they are sharing with us today:

Welcome to March's Colour Combo Blog Hop! We are creating projects using Mango Melody, Petal Pink and Terracotta Tile this month.

Well Suited Note

March 13, 2021

Back in November Stampin' Up! had a fun 80's themed virtual OnStage event. There were live and recorded stamping presentations, new product to win, so many ideas shared, the opportunity to connect online with other demonstrators and seeing Shelli (Co-founder) and Sara (CEO) stamp together - they are hilarious! So glad I attended! Since the event was virtual there was the option to purchase a Swag Box. Included in the Swag Box was the Enjoy the Moment stamp set. If you would like to see what was included in the Swag Box click here to head over to the From Where I Stamp Facebook page to watch the video.

Today's card is one I created for a swap. A swap is where you exchange your card for someone's else card. At in person events we walk around during breaks and swap or we mail them to participants for virtual events. Another fun demonstrator event is a big free training my upline along with a few other demonstrators provide. There are videos sharing stamping inspiration and ideas. Then an option to sign up for swaps!

How you can create this card: The poppy seed pod was stamped in Cajun Craze ink then the seeds were stamped with Smoky Slate ink. Die cut the oval with the Stitched Shapes dies and the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine. Cut a piece of the diamond pattern from the Well Suited designer series paper to 4" x 5.25" and glue to the card base. Cut a 1.5" x 5" strip from the grid pattern of the same pack of DSP and a strip of the striped design to 0.5" x 5". Glue these together and then cut a diagonal on the left side. Stamp the greeting with Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto the grid design. Assemble the card and finish with some Black Matte dots.
