Sharing Chattanooga, Part 4

Here we go with my 4th and final part of sharing from the Stampin' Up! Regionals in Chattanooga.

These are more of the card ideas shown during presentations, for clean, quick, simple and fun cards.  These 4 would make a nice note card set for a gift.  We even learned how to make a really pretty vellum envelope that would hold them all.

Here's a slightly stepped up version, using layered pieces (stamped and punched) and a special background (spritzing with doilies as a mask).

This is a quick and simple card that's a little on the wild side.  Streak a layer of VersaMark ink across your card (You must use the Embossing Buddy first!!!) and sprinkle on some EP.  Repeat a second 'streak' of VersaMark and add a different color of EP.  Repeat once more, with a 3rd color of EP.  Heat and emboss all three colors at the same time.  Add a greeting over the top.
Note:
This is a messy process and one that is better to do at home, on an individual basis, so you may not see it in one of my classes.  It is super fun though, so I still wanted to share it with you.

Well... that's it for the Regionals.  I hope you learned something that you'll try at home during your creative time.  Have a great day!

Sharing Chattanooga, Part 3

... and here we go with part 3 of my sharing from the Stampin' Up! Regionals in Chattanooga.  Enjoy!

This first card was made by Bonnie Thurber, one of my super favorites from the Stampin' Up! staff.  She is so talented and so funny, so sweet and so creative.  She gave a wonderful presentation.

This is one of the cards from our Make and Takes.

These were cards demonstrated by various presenters - even a cookie gift-wrapping!

This card shows good use of DSP strips.

I love how this card uses DSP behind the window created using a framelit.

This is a closer view of cards Shannon West demonstrated, using a Simply Scrappin' Kit.  I love Shannon and feel like we've been BFF's forever because my daughter and I have seen her at each Convention and Stampin' Up! event we've attended and we love to 'hang out' a bit with her each time.

Here's a closer look at the 'cookie wrapper.'  Isn't this a cute idea?

These were little gift ideas and gift card holders shown during a presentation.

I'll be sharing with you just how to make this darling little gift box.  Love it!

Here's a closer view of examples of creative cards that are clean, quick, simple and FUN!  I'll explain the scoring on the diagram when I get to that posted project --- very soon, so keep coming back so you won't miss it!

Come back soon for my 4th and final part of sharing from Chattanooga.  Hope you're enjoying these!

Sharing Chattanooga, Part 2

...and here are more ideas for you, from the Stampin' Up! Regionals in Chattanooga.  Enjoy!

This first display board features cards that were all made with the Moving Forward stamp set.  This is the set that Stampin' Up! uses to support the Ronald McDonald House Charities, with $3.00 from each set sold going to help this wonderful charity.  Did you know that Stampin' Up! has, through the years, donated over a million dollars to help them?  This is so wonderful!  I also think this is a fabulous stamp set, so it's a win-win situation for everyone!

You will notice a lot of focus on clean and simple cards for busy stampers --- a fun, new trend.  The projects at the bottom were made using a Simply Scrappin' Kit --- a great way to save time when you're in a hurry and still want something nice.

I hope you found something to inspire you!  Have a great day!

Sharing Chattanooga, Part I

Here are some photos I'd like to share with you from when I attended the Stampin' Up! Regionals in Chattanooga last month.  I have a lot, so I'll share them with you in 4 parts.  I had a good time and came home inspired.  I hope you can get some creative inspirations from them.  Enjoy!
