I am attending a baby shower tomorrow and made this card using a stamp set that I received when I went to Convention. It is just one of the perks of being a demonstrator and attending this once a year fun event! It is a cute set called Easy Events. It is very versatile and you can find it on page 57 in the Idea Book and Catalog. I also used Dazzling Details which is in the new Holiday Mini which goes live on September 1st. It is an iridescent glitter glue! I used it on the duck’s hat and the umbrella. It gives it just enough bling! Thank your for stopping by!!

Today’s card uses the new stamp set called Pennant Parade. I also used our new builder punch Petite Pennants Builder. My colors are Elegant Eggplant and Melon Mambo with Elegant Eggplant scallop dots ribbon. It is very colorful in person. There are so many different things you can do with this stamp set and punch. I’ve seen other demonstrators use it to make an ice cream cone or birthday hat. So versatile! Are you inspired to give it a try? Thanks for stopping by!

Here’s another card using the cute set, Button Buddies. I wanted to use some of our 1/2 inch scallop dots ribbon in pretty in pink but I didn’t have any. I still think it looks pretty darn cute! I have several baby showers coming up and this might be one of the cards that I use. I used several new items on my card such as the Houndstooth embossing folder. I think I use my embossing folders on almost every single card that I make. I love the texture that they add. I also used the sentiment Petite Pairs. I think this is turning out to be one of my favorite sentiment sets. It is on page 164 in the catalog. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to place an order! Have a great day!

This is another one of my convention swaps. I used one of our new stamp sets called Delicate Doilies. I stamped my image with Versamark, put white embossing powder over it and hit it with my heat tool. After that I used my sponge dauber and used Pretty in Pink ink in the center. When I first started making cards for this swap we were told to make 100 cards. Then later that number went down to 66 but I had already embossed 100 images! Now I have quite a few extras to put some cards together! Hope you have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

One of the big highlights of convention is swapping. I joined three organized swaps and this was one card that I made. I finally figured out that an assembly line was the best way to get the cards completed. I used the stamp set Flower Fest. I stamped the flower with Versamark on Pretty in Pink cardstock and then used white embossing powder. I punched the flower out with our 2 3/8 scallop punch. I used my Big Shot a lot for this card – I love my Big Shot.
Wait until you see what great products for the Big Shot are going to be in the HOLIDAY MINI! We were given a copy of the Holiday Mini at Convention and saw first hand many of the new products! I am so excited!! If you are a SU! demonstrator you can preorder items from the Holiday Mini on August 1st. I can’t wait. If you have been thinking about becoming a demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. When I thought about joining I had a ton of questions. I joined just for the discount but have found that I love sharing the products with others and making projects with my friends. If you become a member of my Stampin’ Up! team, we can enjoy convention together next year!!! Stampin’ Up! is a great company to work for!
