Creatively Inspired Samples


As a member of the demonstrator group, Creatively Inspired Stampers, my adopted upline does a special a few times a year to allow demonstrators to earn a free day of creativity and delicious nibbles.  Our courageous leader, Lori Bowerman, outdid herself on these samples.  I guess when you have such great products to play with, it's fun to spoil those around you!
 
This  card is wonderful and is one of my cards for my New Catalog camp.  The layout and use of products is wonderful and has just enough "bling" to bring a smile!  And the color combo of Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, and Calypso Coral is a hit in my book!

Supplies:
·         Cardstock: Whisper White, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana
·         Ink: Coastal Cabana & Calypso Coral
·         Stamp Set: Chalk Talk
·         Accessories: Chevron Embossing Folder, Big Shot and Cutting Mats, Basic Rhinestones, Large Oval Punch, Calypso Coral Chevron Ribbon, Dimensionals, and Adhesive

I also wanted to post this sample from Lori's event as it inspired my 3D swap for Convention.  I just didn't have pictures ready yet!  Lori used the strips of patterned designer paper and the little butterflies bring a perfect bit of dazzle to the party.

Washi Clothespins & Sneak Peek

Ever look at a word and just think "I'm not spelling that right?"  That's how the word clothespins seems to me.  Maybe it's because I haven't see a full size clothespin since my Grandma Barbara used to do the laundry and hang it out to dry behind their house. 

Today I had a full craft day with Callie.  We worked on canvases and painting and Convention swaps.  She's quite adept with the Big Shot, I must say.  I think it might be her favorite product we sell!  That and the Circle Framelits because they look like bracelets and rings.  The wonder that comes from being a toddler!

Anyhow, today's project is my general 3D swap for Convention.  I wanted to do something that I would do at my own holiday camp that was quick and also an easy embellishment for a gift during the holidays.  You just pin it on to the bag or bow or tag and there you have it - a special homemade touch in just a few minutes.



The pins have our new **SPOILER ALERT** Season of Style Washi tape from our upcoming Seasonal Mini Catalog.  The stamped image is from A Round Array and is punched out using the 1/2 Circle Punch and 7/8 Scallop Circle Punch.  Callie helped me put the "stickers" on the back so they are elevated with two layers of dimensionals.

I did cut magnets and put them on the back.  I figure today's Callie artwork would look great in the one I keep, though she did say it was for Daddy...

Have a craftastic day,
