Just a little reminder:
I do use "retired" items in my projects so current customers can get inspired! You will notice that once you click on the listed items as they will not show up in my SU! store!
ALL cards are now posted to Facebook only! So please be sure to click on the link below...
Today I am going to share a card that I finally finished yesterday after I had the supplies ahem... 2 weeks. My upline Dena held an online meeting and showed us a card for which she had sent us supplies so we could make it after the meeting. You can see her original card here!
I decided to change mine up a little bit just to show that you can always make things your own even with pre-selected supplies... I only added one extra layer of Very Vanilla cardstock:
This bundle is gorgeous! If you haven't checked it out yet, you can see the details here!
So today I am going to show you a very quick card. While on the incentive trip we got one of the new Ombre Ink pads. I got the Rich Razzleberry one and could not wait to try it out. Here is my first go at it:
I am not sure how well it shows the ombre look or fading look in this picture... you might have to enlarge it. I can definitely see on the real card.
Next time I'll try to stamp a greeting with it, I bet that will look neat...
In the upcoming Holiday catalog, Stampin' Up! is offering a new tool to us. It is called "Precision Base Plate". And it is used for those thinlits with intricate cuts... At convention (I watched some online) it was said that it should eliminate all those wax paper/dryer sheet sandwiches. You know me, I like to try out these things for you so we can see. And today, I did just that.
Here is my little video (if you don't care about that, and just want to see a project, please be sure to scroll down)
So in short, I think it worked pretty well with this detailed thinlit! Of course I am still going to test it with the word die cuts and such... and will report then!
But here is a project I made with the Butterfly, can't let it go to waste now, can we?!
Since I've use a 4 by 6 card from the Project Life kit, I had to adjust my card accordingly and made it 6 1/2 by 4 1/2 when closed. And that called for a custom made envelope. I used our new lightweight envelope paper for that. We have that in our new in-colors and the neutrals in the catalog. Gotta get the neutrals still!
I am SO excited for our new Brick Wall Embossing Folder. I didn't have think long to know that I wanted it! It's a MUST HAVE! Seriously!
I made this card with it very quickly... I had read somewhere to use our white gel pen to drawn in the grout lines for more definition. And I LOVE it!
Did you know that this folder is huge? It is 6 by 6! And now that you and I know that you can tell that from looking at the catalog pic, even without reading the info ... LOL For those of you that are not following me on Facebook, I'll post the comparison photo here again
Oh did I say that it is AWESOME? LOL, I guess you can tell that I am a little excited over this one ;-)
