Regionals in Melbourne

Well Regional stampin up demonstrator training is on in Melbourne next weekend so I have been busy trying to get so swaps ready to go. I set my aim at 30 and didn't think I was going to get anywhere close as I had a demo friday night and two stamp-a-stacks on Saturday but I am just about finished :)

Just have to glue them all together and add the recipe to the back and its all ready to roll

I cased (I now know what that means thanks!) from abigailadrienne on Spiltcoast (www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/738223?cat=11082).

I used Stamps: Season of Joy and Sincere Salutations, Inks: Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegranate and Veramark, Cardstock : Purely Pomegranate but also did others with Rose Red and Soft Sky, Very Vanilla and Brushed Silver, Accessories Silver embossing powder and Scollop circle and circle Punch I also added some non su silver bling to the centres of the little flowers that you cant really see in the picture

As usual for me purely pom is in there again!! I am really looking forward to some new color combos now getting a little tired of the good ol fav.

Am also looking forward to learning new tips at the training and catching up with my fellow stampin demonstrators both known and yet to meet. Bring on Sat

September Card Swap

Well this is the card I have submitted for my first ever card swap.

The card swap is being organised by Roz Veevers

You can find her blog here http://rozveevers.wordpress.com/

She has been an inspiration of late for me with fabulous business tips and a great book demonstrators can purchase to assist with their business.

I as usual am hopeless thinking and designing for myself so have used the inspiration from Kimmy524 on splitcoaststampers. She says that she has cased it from someone too. (What does cased mean? can anyone help me is it like showcased? or just a nice word for ripped off?)

You can find her card here http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/757796?cat=11082

To make the card I used the following

Card - Blue Bayou, Very Vanilla and Purely Pomegranate

Inks - Purely pomegranate and Veramark

Stamp Sets - Season of Joy and Priceless

Extras - Gold embossing powder and gold brads

The flowers are raised from the card with stamp dimensionals

Hope you like it feel free to leave me a comment :)
