Convention Attendee

Im back from Convention and cant wait to share all the fun ideas, product catalogs and more with all of my friends, family, downline & loyal stampin' customers!

One of my favorite parts of convention is viewing the new 'commericals' that SU makes in house to promote new products, events, trips and more. This year my favorite was
the Convention Attendee Barbie- wouldnt it be great if there really was a Barbie of this sort?



However most of the die hard stampers I was with would probably prefer the 'special edition UPS Ken doll' instead. After we watched the commercial Shelli (COO) mentioned that perhaps we hadnt payed close enough attention so we re-watched it and then a doorbell rang-



and who arrived on stage? A UPS guy!! He said he was confused because he had a package to deliver and it wasnt clear who it was to- Shelli offered to help and he said it read-Everyone here! Woo Hoo



the crowd went wild- a UPS truck covered with flames came driving thru the side stage area and UPS colored confetti was shooting everywhere!! The best part was that UPS brought each Convention Attendee " Barbie" the new RMCH stamp set. Shelli told us that we may or may not know that SU is a large UPS Client and as a way for UPS to say Thank You to SU -UPS purchased the stamp sets to be given to us. The added bonus to that is that there were approx 6000 demos at convention which means that the RMCH will also earn about $12,000 in those few minutes courtesy of UPS and Stampin' Up! Way to Go!!

Summer Weddings to Celebrate

This card is one I did awhile back when I was in need of a wedding card - we also made it at one of my classes where I taught the dazzling diamond dust technique
In case you missed it - basically cut your paper to size that you want to 'sparkle'- if it is plain- go ahead & do any stamping you want- here I used the ds (designer series) paper from Stampin' Up!'s Cutie Pie collection - the florals at base of card- next step cover the entire paper in versamark ink- last step- pour dazzling diamond dust glitter over the entire paper and then shake off excess into powder pal and funnel back into jar- voila! Now I recently came across an additional step that definitely makes the glitter stay on even better and that is to add SU's heat n stick powder- after the versamark step you would pour heat n stick powder on the surface then heat it then add the glitter. This adds one more step & one more product you would need but I guarantee you that the glitter stays on so much nicer!
For the rest of this card it is made from a 4" x 12" piece of cardstock and the curved edge is just a hand drawn template I created to use. I watercolored the couple using the aquapainter and ink pads. The piercing tool has been used in each of the 'petals' of the scallop behind the happy couple as well as following the curved edge of the card. The last touch was a bit of tuille that was cut and tucked via 1/8 punch into the brides veil area - so that this becomes 3-dimensional. If you have any other questions regarding the card please email me.
