I'm a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, and am here to create, share and inspire... I hope you see things you like! I'm always trying new things and trying to improve my creative process.

This card was to go along with a Star Wars Lego gift, so the black, grey and orange colour scheme was a perfect match for the set we gave him :) I really love how this set has a decent age range of toys.<br />

(I actually had a different, amazing card planned in my head, but extenuating circumstances squashed it). I love the new Cherry On Top color scheme and this Boys Will Be Boys stamp set has been dying to be inked for months!!! I also pulled an old button from my hoard to work with both the Button challenge and the "shop your stash" challenge. This card was quick and easy, but has a great impact. <br />

And of course the Flutterby folder is equally awesome... I'm a sucker for anything butterfly, and I raved about the new size format in my previous post :) I'm also finding that while "mint" has never been a favourite colour of mine, and at times I've really disliked shades of it, this new Mint Macaron is moving up the ranks quickly for me. In fact, I've used it twice in a row now, and it's been perfect for both cards. Especially in this card I made for my sister's birthday...<br />

I used the new Brick folder, and I have to say I love the new size, so I can have the design go whichever direction I need. It was always so frustrating when I wanted, for instance a full background of clouds for a portrait orientation card, but the folder only did a full layer in landscape orientation. I hope all the new folders will be this way :)<br />

Ice cream cone, ice cream dish, cupcake, flower basket, leaf basket, cloud, tree with leaves, flowers or bushy top, plus all the accents and sentiments to match. I will never get tired of this one!<br />

Here's my first take(s) on a Bokeh card, with a sponged background...<br />

I also forgot to get a picture of the inside before giving it away :( As for this card, my original plan was to use the sponsors digital images from his video game themed collection, as this was for a kid who's big into video games and was having a video game party. Sadly though, my printer is having connection issues and I couldn't use a digi image, so I went with another favourite them for him. Punch art is NOT my strong suit, so this is not an original to me idea, but I did tweak it a bit using the Triangle embossing folder for the background, since it resembles a man hole cover.<br />

And of course, this amazing and super versatile Sprinkles of Life stamp set and the coordinating Tree Builder punch, was PERFECT!! I also used a border stamp from Chalk Lines, a die from the Circle Card Thinlits and the new Envelope Paper in the Watermelon Wonder.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I have always loved the look of the sunburst cards, but it looked scary to try, until I found out to cut the triangles, I just needed to halve rectangles... so simple it never occurred to me! I'm still clueless to how I would attempt an asymmetrical version, but I'm happy I at least got this one under my belt :)<br />

This window background can be done with a punch or die, and with stripes of ribbon, washi or papers, as well as ink techniques like watercolors, bokeh, baby wipes, stamps or spritzing. SO many options!!! And I really love the Build A Bouquet stamp set, including this beautiful sentiment, which is PERFECT for Mother's Day!!! So glad this one is coming back in the new catalogue!!! Sadly, the arrow/chevron stamp isn't, but at least I have it, and the punch already, as they'll come in handy for scrapbooking, especially when done Project Life style! Get them before they're gone...<br /><br /><br />

This week's challenge was a color palette, shown at the bottom. This card is for a friend of mine who's on bed rest right now, so the inside will say, "Something to Perk You Up!". I colored the image with the closest colour alcohol markers I had, and then found some retired Hostess paper that matched great, and paired it with the beautiful Blackberry Bliss, on a Chocolate Chip base to tie in the cinnamon stick. For the final touch, I used my Versamarker and iridescent embossing powder on the whipped cream.<br />

You Amaze Me!Okay, so I don't know what this technique is actually called, but invisible dimensions seems to fit. And I'm obsessed with it!!! I see so much potential, with various words, shapes and backgrounds. For this one, I wanted to use all 5 retiring In Colors together for one last blast, and I think it's my favourite card with the whole colour suite I've done yet. I used the Perpetual Birthday Calendar set for the background and the Crazy About You/Hello You bundle for the sentiment. This technique is done by stamping the background first, (minus the AMAZE ME, for placement purposes). Then die cut the YOU, exactly where you want it to be. Cut the same die out twice more on thicker-than-cardstock paper, (I used the support backing that comes in a pack of Stampin' Up's DSP), to make the equivalent of a chipboard. Carefully glue the layers together with Tombo Multi-purpose glue (the green top), and then glue the word into place, followed by tiny inside bits, to fill the holes back in and complete the image. Pretty cool, huh? Anyway, this is my second card as a Design Team member for <a href="http://carabbiemomentsofcraft.blogspot.ca/">Creative Moments</a>, and I really hope you join our Spring/Easter Challenge :)<br />

Thanks to a defective stamp, I had to design and prep a second card for club, totally from scratch, in under an hour and a half... phew! It isn't the stunner that I had planned, but for a super simple card, I think it came out alright :)<br /><br /><br />

I love how the white embossing powder looks so much like the puffy white "ink" they use on real balloons!<br />
<br />
As it sometimes happens, I started with a sketch and a specific idea in my head, but then as I started piecing things together, it evolved and doesn't have all the sketch elements I had planned on using, but it still turned out great.<br />

But I am not a natural when it comes to shading, so when I broke out the Blendabilities for this card I did a google image search to see how others had shaded this image. I saw one with this paper, the amazing coloring and the Crystal Effects and couldn't resist!!! I did my own design of course, based on the challenges I used, and didn't color my image exactly the same, but it's more copying than I'm used to.

Arrrgh!This year my kids used the Hey, Valentine set for their school valentines. I stamped and cut the number needed of the Pirate for one kid, and the school of fish for the other and then let them color them all, while I made a fancier version of each for the teachers :)<br /><br />Here's the first:<br />

I was thrilled, and immediately made a list of the fairly basic techniques that would still WOW a group of young newbies. Some of these, I ruled out for time factors, others for lack of material on hand and limited time. The ones that stuck were a punch, an embossing folder and the three-in-one of heat emboss/resist/spritz. Then I had to redesign my overall design multiple times, keeping in mind that I didn't want to use any of my newer foam pads, as I feared it wouldn't stand up to 25 kids the way a classic linen pad would, and finally realizing that aside from a mini glue dot under the punched heart, the kids would only have glue sticks and/or white glue, so the layers needed to be flat and easy to adhere, for example, using the embossing side of the hearts, rather than the slightly more fun debossing side.<br /><br />While this may not be my most impressive card, we had a blast, and most of them went off with only some minor hitches :D<br />

I found a lot of great new challenges to work with and of course I pulled out some Sale-A-Bration papers, ribbon and button :) I was originally planning to do the flower with a rock 'n roll technique with Crushed Curry in the center and Calypso Coral on the edge, to more closely resemble the inspiration picture, but when I decided to use the button, I changed the center color to Crisp Cantaloupe.<br />
<br />
PS. I know that until this week, it has been a LONG time since I posted, which was mainly due to the extreme frustration and time involved doing a simple post with our ancient computer. Now that we have a new one, it's SO much faster, so I will be able to keep up with posting new things, and as I have some extra time, will be catching up on the many things I didn't post since last Spring/Summer... stay tuned!!!<br /><br />

The rest of the challenges are pretty self explanatory, so here's my card...<br />

It was a total blast, full of fun, inspiration and freebies! There was also a contest to enter a card for the Ronald McDonald house, and the criteria was no text/sentiment, bright and cheery and of course, current product so others can copy. I didn't have a chance to make a card in time, thanks to Halloween, but I had time to make it after the morning sessions and brought it to the last Product Playground. It was too late to have a chance for votes, so they will be displaying it in Quebec instead so I have a chance to win :)<br />
<br />
I used the Chevron background stamp with 3 colours again (this time, Indigo Island, Tempting Turquoise and Coastal Cabana), and I used the Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Definitely Daffodil to color the bird and fill in the sun.<br />

I got to play with this Hostess set for my sweet niece's 4th birthday... I would have loved to use my Blendabilities for the image, but don't have the colors I needed yet. It would have been better if I'd planned better and used watercolor paper for my Stampin' Write markers, but I didn't have time for a do-over, so it is what it is...</div>
