More Convention Display Board projects for today!  (Remember to click on the button above to link to all the other display stampers on our Pinterest board)

Today I am showing you some projects using the new stamp set Kinda Eclectic.  This was the set I was most excited to get with display stamping and it did not disappoint!  So many beautiful things to create with it!

My first card was all about that lovely new Kraft Card Stock.  Wow it is pretty!  I hand cute the little banners out of  Canvas Creations and stamped the leaves on with Mossy Meadow after having stamped them off a bit.  The focal layer of the card was first stamped with the Dictionary background in Soft Suede (also stamped off) and then the dots from Kinda Eclectic.  I added the sentiment in Mossy Meadow.  The Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly Punches (which also coordinate with the set) were used to punch Champagne Glimmer Paper.  I added Linen Thread to create the banner feel and the added the butterflies.  It didn’t seem complete so I put on some Basic Rhinestones that I had colored with the Skin Tone Assortment of Blendabilities.

My next card stayed with the neutrals feel but with a pop of color.  The card base is Crumb Cake.  I stamped the leaves in Versamark and embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder onto Soft Sky Card Stock.  Then, using the Skin Tone and Coastal Cabana Blendabilities, I added the color details in the leaves.  Patience and a light touch were all that were required to get this added dimension to the stamping.  The sentiment  was stamped in Crumb Cake.  I frayed one edge of the 1-1/4″ Burlap Ribbon and added it to the side of the panel.  A Very Vintage Button tied on with Linen Thread finishes the card.  I love the look of this one!

Finally a card that I do not think make the boards at Convention.  And I know why!  After seeing the Make & Take using this set, I realized that mine was really similar.  I would have sworn mine was a CASE if I didn’t know I made it before seeing the cards, lol!  In any case, you can see that I used three of the new In Colors for this and love the result.  Hello Honey, Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow….gorgeous together.  There is Crushed Curry Baker’s Twine looped behind and the pearls are colored with the darkest of the Daffodil Delight Blendabilities.

I hope you enjoy seeing these projects as much as I enjoy sharing them.  Back tomorrow with a new card for Freshly Made Sketches.  Until then, have a great day and thanks so much for stopping in!

You know I had to do it.  It was too obvious, don’t you think?!  As I was ending my Artisan year and looking to the future, the first thing I wanted to add in was a loyalty program.  To say thank you to my customers for all their support of my business!  Was there really any other name I could choose??!!  I think not!  I am also adding some new product based class offerings.  Today I tell you about one for my local customers but no fear.  I have something in the works for those of you who don’t live near me.  I’ll be revealing the details on that one later this month because it involves the upcoming Holiday Catalog.  I am working busily behind the scenes to get it ready for you and can’t wait to share….  But enough on that.  Today the things I CAN tell you!

Product Based Class Offerings

I have so many ideas I want to share that it was hard to know where to start.  I think many of you are like me and you don’t like “one trick ponies”.  You know…products that look great at first but have limited usefulness.  I have to say that Stampin’ Up does a great job with the flexibility of their products but I want to show you how to get the most out of some of the latest offerings.  So I’m starting with Blendabilities!  Because I love them!

*****Blendabilities “on the Fly” *****

We will created 3 projects demonstrating different techniques with the Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers.  You will receive a FREE Cherry Cobbler Assortment of the markers and a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad with the class.  If you already own this color, substitution is allowed but you will need Cherry Cobbler for the class.  I will provide all the pre-cut materials, accessories and additional colors of Blendabilities to complete your projects.  Class fee is $25. Prepayment required no later than August 14, 2014.

Class in Jen’s Stamp Room on Saturday, August 23rd at 2p.  Prepayment is your RSVP.

I can’t wait to get going with my new class and project ideas this month.  Looking forward to sharing what I love with both my local customers and those of you who live a bit further away.

And since I can’t leave without showing you a card, how about this one?

This is another of my Display Stamper projects for Convention using the Seasonally Scattered stamp set.  The beautiful Moonlight DSP Stack does most of the work with the lovely prints and I just stamped on the image with Blackberry Bliss ink.  The Basic Metal Button was tied with Baker’s Twine colored with a marker.

Back soon with more projects from the Display Boards.  Until then…I hope your weekend is great!  Thanks so much for stopping in!
