Stampin" Up Regional Seminar

I am so excited! I am attending my first regional seminar with Stampin' Up this Saturday - the 25th. It's being held in San Antonio, TX and since I live in the Houston area, this is an easy drive and so I signed up. I don't really know what to expect, but I'm preparing the best I can. I've been busy making cards to swap. I look forward to learning many new techniques and meeting lots of other demonstrators. I really want to grow my business and I look forward to the encouragement and enthusiasm.

Here are examples of some of the cards I've made for swapping. All materials are Stampin' Up , of course.

I learned about 3Ds at the very last minute. I made these pillow boxes so I will have something to trade - hope everyone likes candy corn.

World Card Making Day

I created two different sample cards for World Card Making Day! Yes, there really is such a day. Two of our club members joined me for a fun afternoon of experiementing with new techniques and materials and we made the following cards. You see that we did different variations of the same cards. The possibilities are endless. One other card I did was cased from Split Coast Stampers - the cutest little turkey - but way too time consuming to make many - but this one was fun. I wish I had written down the name of the artist - such a cute idea using all different Stampin' Up punches.

October Stamp Club

What a great time we had this month. Twelve of us worked on three different projects - we did some watercoloring, some stamping, some cutting and had lots of fun! Here are the projects - enjoy. All materials are from Stampin' Up.

September Stamp Club

Oops, I just looked at the last post date and saw it was September 4th - well, now it's the 10th and I have not kept up with my three cards per day. I have, however, completed four, three of which I used for Stamp Club last night. We had twelve had club last night including five new faces. I promised to have these cards up today and the day just flew by, but here they are and I hope everyone enjoys them. They were fun to make and once again we used the Stampin' Up Pick a Petal stamp set and made still another totally different card! I just love this set. The cards are all 4.25 x 5.5 finished size. If anyone needs measurements please let me know and I'll get them to you - tonight all I can get done is get the cards up online. So here they are and I'm off to bed - will try to post more tomorrow. By the way all cards were cased from the Stampin' Up! gallery. Thanks to all of the wonderfully creative designers who share their work.

Happy stamping,
Bev

Today's cards!

Here are my two cards for today. I'm trying for three a day, but so far haven't made it on a daily basis. At least I'm working on my goal and I almost made it today. I love both of these cards, one I cased from Stampin' Up! gallery and one was a practice card on a tutorial from Michelle Zindorf. I'm still not quite understanding the brayer thing, but I' m practicing and hopefully someday I'll get it. At least I can send this card to someone, but it's far from the one Michelle posted. I love the "friend card" made from small oval punches. I think using punches is so much fun. The next few days I must concentrate on what we'll be doing at club on 9/9 - I try to have three cards using different techniques - so must get busy looking at ideas. Will write more tomorrow and hopefully have a few more cards to share.
