Field Flowers in Wisteria

Hello Everyone

Another class project today. This one features the Field Flowers and Papillion Potpourri stamp sets. We used Wisteria Wonder cardstock with matching ink -plus Elegant Eggplant ink for the top layer.

The stems are stamped in Lucky Limeade ink. I love the lace, which is a demounted wheel called Viola's Lace. (If you want to know how to de-mount a stamp, check out my videos - I have one that shows how it is done).

The technique we used is two step stamping on the flowers. You stamp the bottom layer in the paler colour and the detail with the darker colour over the top.

To do the butterfly, we stamped with Elegant Eggplant then spread the ink with a blender pen before punching out with the matching punch.


I also made a step card version of this card - again there is a video on how to make a step card.

VIDEO Field Flowers Convention Card

Hello Everyone

Although I am only publishing it today, this is one of the first video's I filmed - so be kind to me! :)

It features Field Flowers, a very pretty stamp set, and was one of my swaps at convention last year.

Hope you liked today's video. I will be back with another project on Friday.

European Stampin' Up! Convention 2012

Hello Everyone

Just back from Stampin' Up! Convention in Mainz, Germany. 800 demonstrators getting together to stamp, inspire one another and party! What could be better?

Well for me, what was better this year, was sharing the experience with my fabulous team. We are called the Dazzling Dreamers, (because if you can dream it, you can do it), and they all came along to enjoy the fun.

Below you can see me, Carolyn, Sara, Tracey, Nina and Jan. We had an AMAZING time together. And if you want to join us next year in Manchester, you can join our team - we would love to welcome you along. (Just click on Join My Team above for more details).

We were 'wow'ed, inspired and entertained in style. Here is our CEO Shelli Gardiner on stage. We all loved her presentations and projects.

I gave a presentation with Sally-Jo Houghton and Charlotte Harding to the UK demos, which was a bit scary - but everyone said we did a good job!

In the evening we went out to eat - the lovely Rhoda from the Shetlands, (at the front) and an adopted Dazzling Dreamer Nichola joined us along with my upline Amanda - who was taking the photo here!

I will finish today by showing one of my two swap projects - a card featuring the Field Flowers stamp set and using our fabby new 2.5" circle punch.
