Happy New Year


Another quick post for today, as I am up to my ears in trying to get organized for the new year. Which, of course, leads me right into this card! I'm sorry to see the Frosted Medallions stamp set retire, because I really liked the versatility of the medallions. Plus, it has this great Happy New Year greeting. It is still available until January 3rd, as long as supplies last.

No time for a "How To", but the medallion is heat embossed on Basic Black 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" and the copper foil mat is 3-3/4" x 3-3/4". I gotta tell you, the copper on black looks really snazzy in real life!

OnStage Swaps


What is it about a looming deadline that gets creativity flowing? I really would like to know! Why is it that, as time is running out, I suddenly become laser-focused and ideas start popping? Case in point: on Wednesday I woke up with no clue as to what I would make for swapping with my peers at the Stampin' Up! OnStage in Atlanta this weekend. That's one of the joys of being a demonstrator - getting together with stamping sisters and brothers (yes, there are male demonstrators!) at Stampin' Up! events, exchanging ideas and card samples, and playing with new products before they come out in the catalog.

I had been in my craft room for the past week trying to think of something, trying half-baked ideas and discarding them, not really happy with any of them. While picking through a container of Metallics Sequin Assortment, a couple of black sequins fell out onto the Moroccan DSP cluttering up sitting on my craft table. I really liked the way the black "popped" on the DSP, and this card was born. You never know when inspiration will strike; I just wish it wouldn't wait until the last minute!


That Copper embossing powder is so pretty! I sure hope it's going to carry over to future catalogs, along with the Copper Foil Sheets!

Since I'm in a time crunch, I'm not posting the "How To" for this one. I think it's pretty straight forward how it was done.
