Inspired by Nature

August 24, 2008 By Connie | 1 Comment

I’ve been busy pulling things together of our Demo Roundup meeting today. Several of us that went to Convention are hosting the meeting for our downline to show what we learned. We will be doing several Make & Takes. I was really happy with how mine turned out. You’ll see it in a couple days…I want to keep it a surprise for the group!

Here is a card we did at my New Catalog Stamp Camp. I think Inspired by Nature is one of the best sets in the new catalog! I was happy we got it free in our Convention bag! I also LOVE the colors in the Hawaii Papaya Designer Paper…especially this check pattern!

I used a variation of the Pencil over Ink technique from February 2005 Technique Junkies Newsletter to do the shading on the flowers…it makes such a BIG difference! And note, the new Curly Label stamp set and punch! I punched two holes towards the top of the label so I could tie the ribbon on top of it. The new In Color Stripe ribbons are awesome, too…they have a great "hand" to them, easy to tie and love that wide size.

Hope you are having a great weekend. I’m excited to see my demo friends today. It is amazing the people that Stampin’ Up! has brought into my life and I’m blessed to know them!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 18 years and had my 17 year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

We created a new Gifts of Good Taste Collection with SIX packaging ideas along with our favorite (and easy!) holiday cookie and candy recipes! It is so nice to give special hand-made little gifts to co-workers, neighbors, your mailperson and UPS drivers! We’ve used a variety of Holiday Catalog Stamp Set and Dies for our decorating ideas, but you could mix the packaging up with the stamps and dies you already own…the recipe and package design is what is most important! This Gifts of Good Taste Collection has step-by-step picture tutorials featuring SIX gift packaging ideas using Stampin’ Up! products with corresponding recipes you can quickly make up and give away!
