Beary Cute!  Stamped by Sharon Skelton.  Pretty in Pink card stock and pink taffeta ribbon  with  a SU flower brad. I thought the little designer paper strip accent was clever!  The  Build-A-Bear stamp set called Bearly Best  Friends will be available Sept 1st in the Stampin’ Up Holiday Mini catalog.

Stamped by ?  No name on the back but I’m sure one of the girls will email me and let us know!  Lovely card made with Rich Razzleberry and Cottage Wall designer paper.  The little mini library  clip on the focal image is really sweet.

August Swaps Part One

These are some of my favorite swaps I received over the last 2 months.   Most are created by a talented group of stampers out of state and we swap monthly.  (Thank you, Rhea for organizing us each month!)  I love getting them in the mail!

Aug 2009 swaps 024

Stamped by Sharon Burkert.  The cute stamp set is from the Holiday Mini catalog (avail Sept 1) called Twick or Tweet. The Basic Grey card stock background is stamped with the coordinating wheel called Haunting Hill.  Don’t you love the wide striped ribbon?  It is 1-1/4″, 10 yards for 8.95 in 4 colors.  See them all here

Copy (2) of Aug 2009 swaps 025

Look at the fun detail!  She used Stampin’ Up new designer paper from the Holiday Mini Catalog called Night & Day.  It has the cool houndstooth design she used for the bird. She cut out the pumpkin treat basket and used Crystal Effects on it for the glossy shine.

Spanish Samples from Convention

1At our annual convention a few weeks ago in Utah, Stampin’ Up had a display of artwork from our Spanish catalog.   It is a beautiful catalog with 47 pages of ideas and projects!   I thought you might enjoy seeing the samples and I wish I knew who created them to give them credit.  I’m not sure if they were stamped by a demonstrator or the home office.    If you would like your very own copy of our Spanish Idea Book and Catalog free,  sign up HERE.  If you live in the Florida area, we have several spanish speaking demonstrators I can introduce you to so you can attend classes or workshops!

On with the samples!   Because there were so many, I inserted them in a gallery.  Just click on the pic to enlarge.  All Images Copyright Stampin’ Up!

These fun wall art frames were created by Jessica Jakobsson, one of the talented demonstrators in our group here in Florida.  She used our Stampin’ Up On Board Chipboard, So Tweet.  The designer paper is Razzleberry Lemonade I think. (from our new catalog)   They are pretty good sized, maybe 12 x 12?  I forgot to ask her where they would be hanging or are they a gift but either way, really cute!

Cyndra used a little puffy paint or liquid applique (we don’t sell it anymore but you can get it at the craft stores)  for the cupcake icing. I like how each cupcake has a different color liner!  Crazy for Cupcakes is the stamp set name.

New Swaps…

I received these lovely swaps a few weeks ago from a talented group of stampers I swap ideas with and thought I’d share a few…

Stamped by Denice Marshall.  All Supplies Copyright Stampin' Up!

Stamped by Denice Marshall. All Supplies Copyright Stampin' Up!

This one is made using the Stampin’ Up level 1 hostess set, God’s Beauty.  Denice used Pale Plum as the card base, then added a layer of Perfect Plum card stock.  She Sizzix’d up the card with Frame Oval Scallop and our exclusive Little Leaves sizzlit.  So pretty!

Stamped by Rhea Hughes. All Supplies Copyright Stampin' Up!

Stamped by Rhea Hughes. All Supplies Copyright Stampin' Up!

Rhea always does such elegant cards.  The main card is Kraft (which I need to use more of – love it)  Basic Black card stock on top, a little bit of white punched with our new Eyelet Border punch.  Urban Oasis DSP on the bottom stamped in Kiwi with the Fifth Ave Floral set.  The Kraft Taffeta ribbon ties it all together!

Stamped by Mary Ammar.  All Supplies Copyright Stampin' Up!

Stamped by Mary Ammar. All Supplies Copyright Stampin' Up!

It’s hard to see here, but the main card is Vanilla and then layered with a Sahara Sand embossed card stock layer.  Then the eyelet border punched in Chocolate Chip, a strip of Olive Patterns DSP.  The stamp set is Thoughts and Prayers, set of 8 on page 58 of the big catalog.  It is the perfect set for sympathy and get well sentiments.

Stamped by Mary Hall.  All Supplies Copyright Stampin' Up!

Mary stamped the flower on shimmer white card stock.  The flower is from “Wonderful Watercolors” and I didn’t even know it was in the big catalog!  She started with a Basic Black card, added a white layer, then another black layer card stock. The blue paper is lighter than it appears here and is from the Parisian Breeze Specialty DSP.   I love how she tied 2 white organza ribbons around the card for an extra special touch!

More later –
