I have such a FUN video to share with you today!

Big-day-chalk-ink-colorbox-stampin-up-sale-a-bration-birthday-tagWow.. did we have a fun day... I know I have shared with you before about my fun stamping days at Cindee's house.. she has a MOST awesome craft room that can easily seat both of us (plus about 6 more people!) (mine is small.. take the tour here)... we did something different and fun this time.. we made a video!  It was not rehearsed.. but we hope you enjoy it!!!

 

See the video below for details on this project featured in our video, as well as a few other surprises!!

Above: These are the fun birthday cards you saw us making on the video.

We used lots of goodies from the 2015 Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog: the Chalkboard paper, Colorbox Chalk Ink Pads, and the Big Day Sale a Bration stamp set in our projects.  We also added Washi Tape and stenciled the backgrounds of our cards with the Stars and Hearts mask as well as the Dots and Stripes mask!

The Big Day stamp set is a free item you can select with your $50 or more online order - but ONLY until March 31, 2015!  That is when Sale a Bration ENDS!

Below: Cindee used the dots mask on her 3 cards and I used the stars mask on my cards.  We used the beautiful ColorBox Chalk inks to stencil onto our Whisper White cardstock with Sponge Daubers.. oh it is SO PRETTY in person!!

It's easy to make your tags:  Cut the Chalkboard paper (pg 25 in the Occasions catalog) into 2" wide strips, then punch them with any one of the Stampin' Up! Tag Topper punches.. we used the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.

We added Washi Tape from the Stacked With Love package and also some Washi from the Sweet Dreams package.

Cindee discovered that it looks really cool to sponge with the chalk ink around the edge of the tag, too!

Dots & Stripes Mask Convention Swap

 

Reminder: Check my Facebook Page here for

Live Convention Updates this week!!

"HELLO" from the Stampin' Up! 2014 Convention!

  Pansy-punch-dots-mask-bordering-blooms-stampin-up-cards

Today I am continuing to show you my Convention Swaps.  I am away at the Stampin' Up! convention in Salt Lake City and this is one of the cards I took with me to swap with fellow demonstrators.

Pansy-punch-dots-mask-bordering-blooms-stampin-up

I featured the fun Dots & Stripes Mask (pg 205, #133775) in Crisp Canteloupe ink on the background of the card, then i stamped over it with the fun Bordering Blooms stamp.  I added Pansy flower punches in BlackBerry Bliss Paper Stack polka dot paper, and then stamped hello in Blackberry Bliss ink. The Whisper White panel is on a Blackberry Bliss card.  Hello is from the cute Hi There stamp set on pg 18, #134213.

Pansy-punch-dots-mask-bordering-blooms-stampin-up-card

The flower centers are from the Beautiful Bunch stamp set (pg 158) stamped in Calypso Coral on Calypso Coral cardstock and punched with the 7/8" scallop punch.  The leaves are punched using the Fun Flower punch in Pear Pizzazz paper.

Here is a tip for using the masks from Stampin' Up!.. use some Washi Tape to hold the mask down then slip your paper underneath, sponge on your color with the Stampin' Sponge, then lift up the mask, take out your paper and put the next piece under the mask!  The Washi Tape holds it perfectly!

  Dots-stripes-mask-washi-tape-tip-stampin-up

In addition to making these cards for convention swaps, I also made a bunch for Customer Thank You's and sent them in recent customer incentive gifts!
