More Convention Samples (and a Sneak Peek!)

Today I'll share another Convention sample with you, one that is going to be coming in the new Holiday Catalog (August 28th).  This has lots of new goodies...see if you can spot them:

I'm sorry that the photo doesn't do justice to how cute this little Take Out box is.  The flaps on the sides slip into little slits--just like a real take out box!  First we wrapped it with the new Wrapping Paper (*love*) that is so easy to work with.  Then we tied it with a piece of Mossy Meadow 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon (and I'm mad that I didn't trim the ends!  Sorry!).

The tag is stamped with Seasonally Scattered--the stamp was first inked in Crushed Curry, then sponged with Tangelo Twist and stamped.  So pretty!  Some sequins from the Gold Sequin Trim were scattered on the tag, and then we added a feather (watch for the framelits!) and a wooden outline of a leaf, tied on with the Gold Metallic Bakers Twine.

These boxes are our largest yet--a very nice size for a small gift.  And they are food safe!  They'll be popular this holiday season.

Current supplies available here; others will be available August 28th!

Convention Samples

Many of you know that I just got back from Stampin' UP!'s annual convention last week.  It's taken me a week to organize and put away all the goodies I brought back, and I am finally getting around to sharing some of the great samples.

First up:  my favorite project using the new Amazing Birthday stamp set.  When I found out that this would be one of the free stamp sets I'd be receiving at convention, I wasn't that excited.  But hold the presses!  The main stamp in this set is so much fun to use!  Lookie:

 We started with the Gift Card Enclosure Pack, which, with a little Sticky Strip, became a cute pouch to hold our note cards.  An extra score line on both side and the bottom "scallop" and we folded it into this pack.  It was wrapped with some Designer Series Paper (Flowerpot), and then we layered on the elements.  

All the stamped images came from the Amazing Birthday set, with some coming from the SAME stamp!  We just stamped and cut apart the images.  So fun!

Each notecard (this holds three, plus envelopes) was stamped with the same stamp in Lost Lagoon ink, and then we stamped again in Tangelo Twist ("AMAZING"); this was cut out and layered over the Lost Lagoon and a banner of Crumb Cake.  Then a little glimmer paper star was popped up with Dimensionals.  So simple and sooo cute!

A charming gift set that is easy to make--what could be better?

All items used can be ordered here.

For the Bride-to-Be

My niece is getting married in a few short weeks, and there was a bridal shower for her last weekend.  Her sister did a marvelous job coordinating it all---it was perfectly lovely (and could have been a page in a Stampin' UP catalog!).

I made a card just for her:

I started with the hostess set, Bloom with Hope.  It has some beautiful floral images that are great for coloring with our new Blendabilities.  Stamping with Memento Black Ink (the best ink for coloring with alcohol-based markers) on Whisper White card stock, I colored the flowers using the Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Blendabilities.  So pretty!

I then stamped an image from Daydream Medallions using Rich Razzleberry ink.  With my Circle Framelits, I cut a circle in the center of the medallion.  A window sheet was adhered to the back of the circle, and it was popped up over the flower image using Dimensionals.  This was all added to the card base of Rich Razzleberry.

I ran thin strips of Rich Razzleberry through the Big Shot using a "vintage" embossing folder with little cross-stitches.  These were adhered around the four sides of the card.

I then used our "vintage" thinlets from our last holiday catalog to cut out the word "love" with the new Dazzling Diamonds paper.  So pretty!

Of course I had to make a matching envelope:

And of course, some pearls were needed to dress up the corners and the medallion dots...such a feminine and pretty card!

What do you think?  Please leave a comment and let me know.
