Good morning stamping friends!
Have you missed me? I have been sooooo swamped at work, bringing reports home to read every night, and have little NO time for crafting since I returned from Salt Lake City. (insert sad face)… Luckily we had a team get together at my upline’s house last night, it felt so good to create again, we made three awesome cards and the demonstrators who signed up for Make and Takes also created some other cards with the same stamp set for our inspiration. Here was the line up:
First up is our fearless leader Dania, she made these two cards and the third one was our Make & Take. Love these dinos!! Dania used the new stamp set “No Bones About It”, which made all these cards a breeze since they are the clear (see through) stamps called Photopolymer!
I can think of a few kids who would love this card… how about you?
Next up is the amazing Anne K. I love her style, don’t you? The first two cards were her alternate (inspiration) cards, she used the new “Made with Love” stamp set in the new Annual Catalog and the Mini-Treat Bag Thinlits, (the bottom/last card two views is what we made)… We all thought it was great how she used the Baby’s First Framelits to create a window for the center of the card… and when you pull out the insert, it is a Gift Card Holder!! How awesome, thanks Anne!!
Last, but certainly not least, is the line up from Judy B. She is one of my friends and downline, we were in awe of ALL she made with the new “Awesomely Artistic” stamp set- these are just stunning, and the photos don’t do them justice. The first 13 cards are her alternate inspiration cards and the last one is our Make & Take. Just beautiful, thanks Judy!
*This last one is what we made last night, and the wings of the dragonfly were made by stamping the wings in versamark ink onto vellum cardstock, then iridescent ice was applied and heat set and then “fussy cut” (that means there is no die to cut those out).
Whew, what a line up! It was a great night! Thanks Dania, Anne and Judy!
Be sure to come back tomorrow and I will show you the 3-D Swaps that some of the ladies made last night for swapping!
Have a great Friday, and thanks so much for stopping by to read my blog today- leave me a comment, I would love to hear from you- I would love to know if there are any specific blog posts, tutorials, inspiration, techniques or cards you would like me to feature?? thanks!
