Movers & Shapers

Here's a card I made a while ago, using the new Movers and Shapers Big Shot die.

The colors are: Real Red, Old Olive, and Bashful Blue. I used the Scallop Edge punch, Certainly Celery prints DSP, and 1" Bashful Blue Double-Stitched grosgrain ribbon. I used the Rock & Roll technique to get 2 colors of ink on the stamped image, and a White Gel Pen to do the stitching aroung the heart.

I LOVE the Movers & Shapers die, and how many things you can do with it. I can't wait to use it in my scrapbook for some peek-a-boo windows!  

Hope you like it!

Oval All card

Here's a card I made for swaps for the Stampin' Up Convention....

This card was co-designed by my good friend Pamela! Thanks for your help with my swaps, Pamela!

It uses the following Stampin' Up products:

Stamps: Oval All, Best Wishes & More

Paper: Razzleberry Lemonade DSP, Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry & Old Olive cardstocks,

Inks: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive

Accessories: Eyelet border Punch, Razzleberry Polka-Dot Ribbon, 5/8" Vanilla Grosgrain ribbon, Movers & Shapers Oval Die (just the punched out piece), Scallop Oval Punch, sponge, dimensionals,

**I realize now as I post this, that this card is missing the coloring on the flowers. I did color the swaps in, using markers in So Saffron, Old Olive, and Razzleberry, then stamped the image again over top in Chocolate Chip using the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig. I guess I kept the only swap not completed :) Will have to get coloring!

Christmas Ornament Card

Just wanted to share with you a pretty Christmas card I demonstrated at my last stamp club event.

It is made using some of the new products from the Holiday Mini Catalogue (contact me to get your copy!)

The ornament stamp from Delightful Decorations (#116517) was inked in Soft Suede, then I dabbed on some of the new Champagne Shimmer Paint (#116806) with a Sponge Dauber before stamping it. I punched it out with the new Ornament Punch (#116794). The Whisper White cardstock was stamped with the Serene Snowflakes (#115438) stamp, dabbed with just the Shimmer Paint, and punched along the edge with the Eyelet Border Punch. I added a slit with the Slot Punch, and ran some Polka-Dot Soft Suede Ribbon around it. The sentiment is from Four the Holidays (#116921), and I added some Gold Elastic Cord (#109867) to make the top of the ornament.

The Shimmer Paint is amazing, and so easy to use. It can be dabbed right onto an inked stamp, or dabbed onto an uninked one, for a tranparent shimmery look. I LOVE the BLING this gives you, and it's so perfect for Christmas cards!

If you'd like to place an order for any of the above, or anything else, please email me at stampinwithjoann@shaw.ca, or go online to my website, and click Shop Now.

Happy Stampin'!

My hubby's Top 5 Convention-Swap picks!

Every time I attend a Stampin' Up event, I come home with some amazing swaps! And every time, my DH spends some time looking thru them and picking his favorites. Here he is.....

He is so interested in the different techniques, and he likes to "sort" them into piles, of his favorites, least favorites etc. So....I decided this year I would post his TOP 5. (I will also post my TOP 5 in a couple days.) For now, here they are, in no particular order.

The one above is made by ???? (no name on this one-if you know it, please email me!)

This one was made by Amy Rogers.

Love the icecream cone! This was made by a demonstrator in my sideline, Natasha Hein.

The one above was made by a fabulous lady in my side-line, Angela McKay.

The above little monkey was also made by  Natasha Hein. Isn't he cute?!

Thanks for all the swaps ladies! Love them all!

Pop in back to see my TOP 5 soon!

I am back from the Stampin' Up Convention! It was a blast! Here are some random pics of the excitement...

 

Some of the fabulous ladies in our group: above, me with my good friend, Kristina Koch, below Kari Metzger and Angela McKay.

 

Me, and my friend, Tracy, who I roomed with. Trying to get some caffeine into us for an early morning start.....

Here's me during the Recognition March, going across the stage, for acheiving over $20,000 in Sales this past year....

 

Here are some random project pics that I thought were cute!

 

This cute little guy was made using the new Big Shot Ball Pop-Up Die! How amazing!

 

Well, I have lots more pics to share, so tune in over the next few days while I post some more!
