Stampin Shanni Retreat Challenge 2012

This card was made for Stampin Shanni Retreat 2012. The challenge was it had to be current products used and made as many cards for as many attendees coming.

The colors I used is real red, gumball green, whisper white & early espresso. Also a Christmas theme DSP(designer series paper)and out of the DSP I created a small rosette and punch out circles from the real red and gumball green to sit on top of the rosette.

The squares are punched out using the postage punch with white backed behind it and dauble with early espresso ink around the four sides. Placed on the piece of early espresso then on the gumball green which has been embossed using framed tulip embossing folder.

Before the rosette was added, two pendants with one on top of the other was put together and the whisper white on top I stamped it with merry Christmas stamp in real red with early espresso dauble around the edges.

 



I won the challenge with this card at retreat 2012 and it was my second time in a row that I had won this challenge. I was very excited indeed to have won.

Hexagon Punch & Chevron Border Punch Card

I made this card for Stamping Shanni's Retreat in September last year.  There is a swap challenge - all products must be current and you have to make the same number of swaps as attendees.

The colours that I have used in the card are Crushed Curry, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate and Whisper White.
The stamps are from Tape It and Gorgeous Grunge and the sentiment from Six Sided Sampler which I have used with the matching Hexagon Punch.

I used the punched out chevrons from the Chevron Border punch to pop the sentiment and also the punched border add texture and interest to the bottom of the card.

The pennants cut from Whisper White and Crushed Curry cardstock add a different dimension and I stamped these as well.

See you soon!

Paper Belles Blog Hop

Fantastic News Peeps!


This week I have organised a Blog Hop with some members of my team.  Stamping Shanni has challenged us all to blog more frequently so part of that is offering some mentoring and incentives to start posting on our blogs and to share some of our amazing creations.



The Blog Hop will run from today until next Wednesday 2 April!



Sometimes Blog Hops have themes but ours is simply to create, share and inspire! Of course we are all Stampin' Up! Demonstrators but we each have unique and varied styles and the projects that we will share will be vastly different.



Please take a look at the Paper Belles Blog Hop, follow the blog, follow on Pinterest, leave a comment, pin anything that you like and refer friends.

This is the card that I made.  It is not a good photo of the card which i apologise for. But i did enjoy making it. I made the flowers myself and all products in this work is Stampin' Up! products. Love my Stampin' Up

This card was made for my roomie at Stampin' Up Convention in Canberra this year. Once again I love working with neutral colours. I finally used my DSP paper (designer series paper) Mocha Morning. Also I used the new Iridescent Ice Emboss Powder.  I'm very proud of myself with this card.
