Sharing my WALK across the stage from Leadership

One of the "fun" things that demonstrators look forward to is walking across the stage at Convention and Leadership.  I was able to walk this year (my first Leadership Conference) because I promoted in 2011!  Fun

And here are Jo and I with Shelli Gardner the cofounder and CEO of Stampin' Up.  Just a quick shot as she circulated during out Make 'n Take session (yes we get to do projects too!)

And more swaps................................

January Club Project - another Valentine Card

I Just love to be able to use our tools in more than one way.  For instance this card which we did at the club meeting uses the new Framelits Hearts Collection to EMBOSS - so you can cut AND emboss with these new toys!

Can you see how the heart in which is stamped "Love" is embossed?  Isn't that just the coolest way to use these new Framelits?

We stamped "Love" first - colored in with Stampin' Write Markers and then embossed.  Here's the Big Shot "Sandwich" for embossing (bottom to top)

1.  Multipurpose Platform on Tab 2

2.  TWO (yes that's 2) of the Textured Standard Texturz Silicone Rubber pads (114615, page 215)

3.  Material

4.  Framelit Hearts Die with cutting side UP

5.  Standard Cutting pad

That's it!!  Really easy and fun to add to your cards

Stamp Set:  Outlined Occasions (WM 126104, CM 126016, page 10 Sale-A-Bration Catalog FREE with a $50 order)

Card Stock:  Blushing Bride, Basic Black, Whisper White

Valentine's Club Demo

I shared this card and it's a case from Mary Brown.  My club members loved it!! I tweaked it a bit, but essentially it's the same as Mary's.  Thanks for the inspiration Mary

Stamp Set:  PS I Love You (WM 125460, CM 125462, page 8 Occasions Mini)

Card Stock:  Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette, Rose Red

Ink:  Pretty in Pink

Embellishment:  Basic Rhinestones (119246, page 198)

Big Shot:  Textured Impression Adorning Accents Embossing Folders (125601, page 7, Occasions Mini)

Framelits Hearts Collection (125599m, page 6, Occasions Mini)

Can you see the little hearts on the card base.  Those are made with the brand new Adorning Hearts Textured Impression Embossing Folders.  You receive three folders for one price!  They include two to coordinate with the Adorning Accents Edgelits Dies and one with the hearts.  Just LOVE them!

Aren't they just SO sweet!!  What fun and such a wonderful addition to this card.

For the big center heart I used the Rose Red Card Stock and the 2nd and 3rd Heart Framelits.  Lined them up together and cut them so I could get the "frame".  The smaller hearts are using the 1st and 2nd
hearts.  Then I just cut a little slit in the small hearts and wove them through.  Popped them all up with dimensionals.  The Basic Rhinestones finished them off perfectly.  Without they were rather dull!

Edgelits from the Stampin' Up Occasions Mini Catalog

I'm just so thrilled that Stampin' Up has introduced the new Edgelits (and Framelits!!).  They add SO much to your paper creations and are SO fun to use.  And really, really easy!!

Here's a card I made using the new Edgelits along with the coordinating Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folders. 

Stamp Set:  Elementary Elegance (from the upcoming Sale-A-Bration Catalog - FREE with a $50 order)

Card Stock:  Very Vanilla, Night of Navy, Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper (122357, page 184)

Framelits - have you SEEN them?

Oh dear - these Framelits are just SO astounding.  You can cut out interesting shapes AND you can emboss with them. I'm having such fun with them.  They are really stury even though at first they don't seem like it.  But you CAN bend them, so I found this really neat idea for how to store them.  I've seen a number of people share this, so I went with it.  And with my messy desk (see below), you can imagine those little items can get lost easily, but so far this has been the ticket for keeping them together (and from getting bent). 

I have been working on my swaps for Leadership - and this is what my desk looks like tonight. 

 

 Oh dear - but I'll get it cleaned up (hopefully) before we leave.  Sam and I head out on Monday for Portland and fly out early Tuesday morning for San Antonio, TX.  This will be my first experience at the Leadership Conference and I'm really looking forward to it!!  The conference is from Wednesday to Friday and then....there is a Regional on Saturday at the same place as the conference.  So....had to stay for that. 

As soon as I get the last swap done, I'll take pictures and share with you.  But on to the way to store these wonderful new Framelits!

 

 

These are the Clear-Mount Stamp Cases found on page 205 of the Idea Book and Catalog (Item # 119105) I printed out a label from My Digital Studio - slipped it into the case and then added a 5" x 6" piece of our Magnet Sheets (119816, page 216) to each side.  The Framelits fit perfectly and what a way to keep track of them!!  I also made up one for the Edgelits.  Stampin' Up has promised more of these wonderful Big Shot items in the future and I can see my collection growing, safely stored in these cases.

And on the BACK of the case are is the "sandwich" so you have it handy when you go to use the Framelits

If YOU purchase a set of these Framelits, I will be giving you one of these cases (label and magnets) to store YOUR Framelits in!!  So if I forget, please remind me.  And if you place your order online here
through my website, I will send you the Clear-Mount Case to store your Framelits in!  Just email me and let me know you ordered them (and remind me!!)

So....here is one swap I made for Leadership - using the new Paper Doily Sizzlit, and the Framelits Labels, and the Sale-A-Bration designer series paper that is FREE with a $50 order (starting January 24th). 

Stamp Set:  Elementary Elegance (Sale-A-Bration Catalog)

Tea Shoppe and Large Sizzlit Paper Doily

The new Occasions Mini Catalog has this beautiful set called Tea Shoppe.  SO many things I can think of to use it for.  Here's another embossed card - love it!! 

Stamp Set:  Tea Shoppe (WM 125545, CM 125547, page 19 Occasions Mini 2012)

Card Stock:  River Rock, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Cherry Cobbler Craft Ink, Clear Embossing Powder, Gold Embossing Powder

Embellishment:  Basic Rhinestones (119246, page 198)

Big Shot:  Framelits Labels Collection (125598, page 6 Occasions Mini 2012),  Large Sizzlits Paper Doily (125592, page 7 Occasions Mini 2012), Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Finial Press (115963, page 219)

This is pretty self-explanatory - I stamped the tea cup with Cherry Cobbler Craft Ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I then cut out the tea cup with my paper snips.  I used dimensionals to mount the tea cup (doubled them).  The tea bag fit right in. 

I couldnt' find my gold brads, so I "painted" Basic Rhinestones with the VersaMarker (100910, page 203) and heat set some gold embossing powder!! 

Here's a little closer look at the tea cup
