Thanks for watching and stopping by! Linda
Stampin’ Up was in Orlando this past weekend for a little mini convention! Demonstrators like me came from all over Florida and some even from close states to stamp and learn for the day. Stampin’ Up has several each year in different states, so they haven’t been here in FL for over 2 years. They have one more left so I won’t post the pictures of their projects so I don’t spoil it for the last stop on their trip!
I will show you what I presented, though! I was one of the lucky ones chosen to present what they call a Workshop Wow, which is a project that is easy to do but still shows a little something new. I decided to play around with our CORK sheets that are on page 205 of the big Idea Book & Catalog:
You get 6 sheets, 6″ x 13″ per package for only 9.95! I cracked up when someone said “We sell cork? I didn’t even know we sold that!”
Here are the projects I demonstrated using different mediums. I’ll be doing videos for Stamping School for all these projects but just showing the pics here. (and for those of you on SSchool, these videos won’t count towards your weekly exclusive videos – just extras)
AND by the way, the Designer Series paper you see on these is a sneak peek from our upcoming Summer Mini Catalog!
This first one I showed is just putting it behind our pendant note. I didn’t get a good pic of it before I gave it to SU after my demo so it’s cut off a bit!

This next one has circles cut with our Sizzix Circle #2 die and I attached our white Fleurettes on with brads:

Embossing on cork is my fav thing to do! It gets a nice, glossy shine to the image with Craft Black ink and clear powder…

This is another way to alter and emboss the cork using craft, pigment ink and powder:

Just stamping on it with black StazOn and coloring with markers (and another sneak peek of a new stamp set…)

This was my favorite – a little monogram note set and crystal effects on cork:

I hope that inspired you to get some cork!

At my monthly Where The Rubber Hits The Road team get together, we have a stamped swap and contest. I love to see them all lined up in a row, swapping down the line with each other! By the end of our stamping time, everyone has voted and there is a prize for the favorite. The winner was this beautiful card created by Susan Kirk:

A big THANKS to the stampers who submitted these great ideas!

At my last demonstrator get together, Trish Niedergeses shared a fun technique with the group. Using a rubber brayer and some classic (dye based) ink rolled over an embossed, raised image she created some really neat cards. She is quick to say she ‘cased’ the technique and yellow card from Stampin’ Connection (our demonstrator only share website) from someone but couldn’t remember the name of the original artist. (and if the artist happens to be reading this, just email me and I’ll give you the credit you deserve! Great Card!)
And remember, it’s a live video at our get together with over 40 women so pardon the applause and comments!
Take some time to stamp for YOU today!

it’s been a whirlwind here today! Matt took a few pics earlier and now I’ll show what everyone made!
The Christmas trees were created by Catherine Harwood, who is here with us! she used Versamark on vanilla card stock and resisted with sponging. (so clever!)
the chocolate holder was something I saw on the display boards at convention but they had used the tree. thank you to the creative person who inspired the idea!
how sweet is the little 3×3 valentine?!
I’m posting from my phone as guests are starting to arrive for our demonstrator event that we named Stampcation! (our stamping vacation)
Tonight 75 of us will be doing a shoebox swap in groups of 25. Check out some of these fun displays created by my creative partner in crime, Shantaie Fowler:
Today we had another General Session in the morning with some really neat demonstrations! I’ll need some time to edit photos and post those later BUT I will share a fun slideshow of our new FABRIC!
Stampin’ Up has a big show & tell area showcasing our new fabric coming out in the upcoming Holiday mini catalog! Bigger than a fat quarter and some of them coordinate with our designer papers, too. Here are some photos of the projects made with our fabrics, Sizzix die cuts and a Big Shot:
Off to dinner! Thanks for stopping by! Linda
Stamped by Sandy Fechtenburg. All Images copyright Stampin' Up!
Sandy used the Tea Party dsp with a Sizzix butterfly cut out of So Saffron. The butterfly has been run through the Texturz Plates.
Stamped by Patty Sharkey. All Images copyright Stampin' Up!
Patty wheeled the Lazy Days wheel from the Occasions mini down the side of the card – in Tango maybe? or Only Orange? The stamp set is Just Beachy, also from the Occasions Mini catalog.
Stamped by Kathy Yip. All Images copyright Stampin' Up!
Gorgeous box using our Top Note Sizzix die! She used our white gel pen to highlight the stitching already on the Top Note.
Stamped by Karen . All Images copyright Stampin' Up!
Karen said she adapted this design from the SU Stampin’ Success in May, page 11. The base of the card is Real Red and she embossed the greeting, too!
Stamped by Jackie Walker. All Images copyright Stampin' Up!
Jackie used Cameo coral as the base of the card, added some Pink Flamingo paper and the Just Beachy stamp set. Cute!
Stamped by Cyndra Alderman. All Images copyright Stampin' Up!
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.
