Gourd Goodness & More

Posted on by

Here is Georgia we are reaping the benefits of a warm front, it’s in the mid 60s and they are expecting 70 for the high tomorrow so I’m not exactly feeling winter today. LOL!! So instead I thought I’d share with you some of the wonderful swaps I received during OnStage Live in Salt Lake.

This first card uses the Gourd Goodness stamp (144785) set found in the Holiday Catalog and the wonderful Burlap Background stamp (143979/143982).

I just love the feel of texture on this card – these two sets have lots of texture built right into them. And if you don’t already have the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set (128748/127802) it’s a must have, since it contains over 20 different sentiments!

These next two cards use the Vintage Leaves stamp set (138802)

White embossing has been teamed up with our Painted Harvest Designer Series Paper.

And how about this card – I just love the texture created with our Embossing Paste (141979) and the Pattern Party Decorative masks (144103).

I really like the white on white used for creating the textured background on this card.

And here is a fun one – the Leaflets Framelits Dies (138283) were used to create this lovely card using the Sheltering Tree stamp set (137163).

The die was used to create a cut out from a scrap piece of card stock which was laid on top of the Whisper White piece. Sponges were used to shade in the leaf and then the mask was removed and the tree was stamped. Striking.

And finally here is one that I recently cased for a class.

It uses the Sheet Music Background stamp, Colorful Seasons and sentiment is from the Count My Blessings stamp set from the Holiday Catalog on page 50. If you haven’t seen this set you might want to check it out.

Feather Together & More

Posted on by

Today’s card is one that I made for a general On Stage Live Swap using the Feather Together and Heartland stamp sets. Some how they just seemed to work together once I got going. I have to say I’m thinking I was a bit in a nostalgic mood when I was creating for this event, you’ll see what I mean by the end of the week. lol

Any how here is the card I made.

I really love the way this turned out. While I didn’t have pet geese growing up, my Aunt Arlo and Uncle Rodger did on the farm. I had pet mallards that my dad got me at the Seven Mile Fair Flea Market in Wisconsin one year when we went. I loved the way the male’s feathers changed color in the light. And while my 4 year old memory remembers them being more green I really like the Island Indigo for this project.

On a personal note, last Wednesday I was able to take a tour of Stampin’ Up!s home office – what fun. I even made a new friend, Natalie on the bus ride over. One of my favorite parts of being a Demonstrator, you get to meet folks from all over the world.

Here are some photos from the visit.

The snow top mountains were beautiful and so different from ours here in North Georgia.

And here is a photo of the warehouse – it was pretty cool to see how they pack all our orders.

And creativity was everywhere! I loved the chalkboards, wished mine looked this nice in the classroom.

Isn’t the bow pretty? It’s made out of the Delicate White Doilies (141701) from the Annual Catalog.

And I love this wreath made from the Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper (144623). I think my daughter would love one!

Stamp Set: Feather Together (141597) and Heartland (143889/143892)

On Stage, Country Living & More

Posted on by

Wow, it has been a world wind 7 days with lots of fun, laughter, and friends! I’ve got lots to share with you, but today I’m going to share a card that I created for my On Stage Shoebox Swap with Sherrie and more!

I’ve waited 8 years to get to go to a Stampin’ Up! event in Salt Lake and it was well worth the wait – I had a blast and can’t wait for the next On Stage in April, after all I always enjoy stamping with 2,700 of my closest friends. LOL!

My roommate Marnie and I  took off in the wee morning on Tuesday, ready for adventure.

We arrived in Salt Lake ready to check out the city – a quick peek out our window after we checked in (what a view)

And then enjoyed the stroll around Temple Square which included an organ recital there,

and the City Creek Center, which was an outdoor mall where we had lunch at the Blue Lemon, yum.

I couldn’t resist stopping in the chocolate shop, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, which smelled heavenly and picking something up for my hubby, Larry whom I’m left at home. As many of you know he is a chocolate fiend!

And of course we had to check out the Salt Lake Palace Convention Center.

It was fun to see all the Stampin’ Up! On Stage Banners on the posts. It was a full day for sure.

Wednesday, I did a Sherrie’s Shoebox Swap so today I thought I would share a tutorial for my card with you. Want to see the card? I really loved the way it turned out.

Here is the card I created.

I call it Boots and Bandanas – can you see my old-fashioned bandana in the background that I created with the Paisley & Posies Stamp Set. Larry didn’t I had to explain it to him, he just shrugged at me – men lol.

Here is the tutorial for you so you can make one too.
