Can you Spare Some Change - Stampin' Up! Convention Make & Take

Hi Beauties~

There were some great make & takes at this years convention.  When I first saw the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set, it wasn't my favorite, but after using it at the Stampin' Up! Convention Make & Take, I absolutely fell in LOVE with it.  I think this may just be my go to set for a while, so don't be shocked to see splatters on a lot of my cards.  Here is the card that we made at convention.

 

and with a little turn, color, and stamp change, I came up with this. 

 

 

 

It's amazing what just a little change can make.  I think they are both great cards! 

What changes can you make to this card?

Day 3 & Post Convention

Hi Beauties~

 

Day 3 of convention was so much fun.  So much in fact that I didn't have time to keep you updated.  The day was filled with great classes.  Then the final general meeting had tons of Prize Patrols.  This year everyone who attended convention won at least one prize patrol.  The last prize patrol was for 25 people who won every stamp set in the upcoming Holiday Catalog... LUCKY!!!  Stampin' Up! sure does know how to throw a great party.  I am so glad I went and look at all the loot I got.

 

There were so many samples throughout the Gathering Place, where all of us met.  I had to snap a few shot of my favorite boards for you to see.  At first I didn't realize there was a hidden meaning.  Can you see it? wink, wink...

 

 

I had so much fun and wish you could have been there with us.  How about next year?  Become part of my team and attend next years event with us.  Click here to join the fun!

 

 

Oh yeah and don't let me forget the best part... SWAPS, SWAPS, SWAPS!!!  I gathered, collected and swapped about 100 cards this year.  They were all so pretty, but I narrowed it down. Here is a video of my top 10, it sure was hard to pick out of all those great swaps.


FYI~ No Grandchild yet, he waited until convention was over.  Such a good boy!  We are home safe & sound and ready for baby Trent to come out and say hello to the world.

Convention - Day 2 Stampin' Up! Undefined

Holy smokes, today was a busy one.  The best part was hanging out with my weSTAMP group.
I didn't win prize patrol, but I did get a box from a past Paper Pumpkin.  We did some great make & takes.  I didn't think I liked the Grunge stamp set, but we got it free here at convention, so I tried it.  Can I say, this might just be one of my most favorite sets now.  I can't wait to get home and make some videos to show some great things!  I have also finished swapping all the cards I made.  I have picked out the top 10 from all 100 that I ended up swapping, in total.  I will be making a video and will have that on YouTube for you to see very soon.  Make sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel, so you don't miss it.  Oh man, I almost forgot... Stampin' Up! announced some great new products.  You are going to love it.  I will let you know as soon as I get more information.  See below for one new announcement that just came out.  I can't wait to "make" my first stamp.  Watch the video below to see what I am talking about.

Was that awesome or what!!!  Alright, well time for Awards Night and more picture taking at the Gathering Place.  I will have so much for you in the days and weeks to come.  Thank you for following my blog and being such a great BEAUTY!!!

Convention - Day 2

Hi Beauties ~

Have you placed your new Paper Pumpkin order yet?  I sure did, how could I pass up such a great deal. I hope you are liking the updates and pictures from convention.  Oh yes, I did happen to catch a great Kenny Chesney concert last night as well (that was a special reward for my great husband who brings me out to Salt Lake City every year for convention). It doesn't hurt that his Dad, Brother & Grandparents live here :)  So it's not too hard to convince him. 

As promised, here is today's card.

I learned this technique with the mosaic embossing folder and the mosaic punch, from my up-upline Anita during our stamp time together last week.  It was a great time and I would suggest having a random stamping buddy for those days when you just want to get together and stamp.  If you need a stamping buddy, I am here and ready to get together at any time!

Partial Embossing

Hi Beauties ~

Sometimes, don't you just want to have only a portion of your card embossed?  Same here...  So I have done this with a few of my cards and I really like it.  I like that you can easily stamp one end and still have the other end with some dimension.  Best part is, it is still just one piece of paper that is being used.  Here are directions on how this is achieved.  Enjoy!


Wanting to become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator?  I would be happy to have you join my team. Check out the great special that is just for demonstrators who join from now through August 31, 2013.

I was making one of my swaps for convention and thought I might quickly show you how I made the baseball in this card using Stampin' Up! Products.  I think this is a perfect card for a child or man (or if you played softball like me, you may like it for a girl as well).

Can you spare some change - Guess the stamp set ???

Hi Beauties ~

If you have read my past entries, you know that I like to take an idea and change it up a little to get a different or more advanced look.  I have been staring at this stamp for over a year now, knowing that I could make something different out of this stamp set. I think I accomplished it an out of the box thinking.  What do you think? 

Do you have any stamps that you have changed from it's original state?  If so, please tell me about it and you may be featured on a future "Can you spare some change" post!  Don't you just love to see creativity throughout your days!  I sure do. 

If you know the stamp set, please leave it on my comments.  If you don't know the name of it, look through the catalog to see if you can find it.  Otherwise, you will have to wait until Friday July 12th to find out!  See you then!!!

Color Glimmer Paper - Part 2

Hi Beauties ~

Yesterday I showed you how to color silver glimmer paper with ink, now I want to show you how to use embossing powder.  Here is a Thank you card I made for my friends that came to my husbands birthday party last week.

 

I just love the glimmer shining through the embossing powder.  Below is three different colors (plain silver, ink colored in Rich Razzleberry and Embossed in Melon Mambo)

 

Here is a video to see how I used the embossing powder, see yesterday's post for ink coloring.

Color Glimmer Paper - Part 1

Hi Beauties,

Don't you ever have a card that you want to add a little sparkle to, but the color just doesn't seem right.  Well, no fear, you can add color to your silver glimmer paper by using just a little ink.  See the card I made here with a Crisp Cantaloupe butterfly to match with the ink.  I made this card for a young family that is having a hard time battling cancer.  Please pray for the Johnson family.

 

Look at how pretty it is close up!
