More Great Samples!

Janis Cox a friend and member of Dorene's InkAway team designed this as an option for the make and take project she was working on. She ended up simplifying the design to make it more workshop friendly.

This was another version she designed. I will have to share the final one with you at a later date as I didn't take a picture of the final make and take project card. Ooops...sorry.

Dorene Decibus created this pretty card using Pretty in Pink and Chocolate Chip. She used the polka dot texture plate on the background piece. A hint from the new catalog is to lightly mist your card stock before running it through the Big Shot using the texture plates. Doing this helps define the texture and create a beautiful design. I hope you enjoy these samples and I will try to post a few more very soon.

Happy Stamping!

More Fun Samples

Here I am back again with a few more great samples created by my stamping buddies!

This beautiful one was stamped by my friend Janis using Circle Circus and Crushed Curry ink. The Bermuda Bay card stock accents really make this card pop! Can you see that the Crushed Curry Polka Dot Ribbon is plain on the opposite side?

Jessica used some Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper to accent the top of her card. The Soft Suede ink looks like chocolate frosting...yummy enough to eat! Since markers are available in the In Colors this year adding accent color is so much easier!!

Time to go soak up some vitamin D!! It has been lovely to have the sun shining so much these last couple of days!! I think summer is finally here!

Happy Stamping!

New In Color Samples

Several stamping friends of mine and I got together yesterday for a "Convention Meeting". None of us are able to attend Stampin' Up! Convention this year so we decided to do a mini convention for ourselves. We had a lot of fun doing 3 make and take projects and dicussing business topics.

We did two separate swaps and one was using the new In Colors. Here are a couple of the great cards I got in the swap.

This one done by Dorene Decibus is a great monochromatic card using Soft Suede and the Circle Circus stamp set! The top panel almost looks like Designer Series Paper, doesn't it?

This one was created by Irina O'Brien using Soft Suede, Dusty Durango and Kraft card stocks. It is a "shaker" card and the little washers in the window really add authenticy to the robot! What a great kid birthday card!!

I will have a couple more tomorrow. Stop back by!

Happy Stamping!
