Third Thanks

Are you getting tired of thank you cards, yet?  I know I am!  I promise, this is the last one for a while.  I'm practically hyperventilating at the thought of diving into the new goodies languishing on my desk.  There are so many ideas swirling around in my brain! "My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives." (Name that movie.)

This one uses the Sweet Pea Stack again, but wait...what is that?  That label doesn't look familiar....could it be....A NEW PUNCH (one of three!) from the upcoming Holiday Mini?  Yes, that's the new Decorative Label Punch, and it is fabulous, dahling!  Plus, there will be two stamps (in a sweet set of nine) that are made for this punch!  Here's a pic to give you an idea of the difference in size between the Decorative Label Punch shape and the Curly Label Punch shape:

See, this is one of the many wonderful perks of being a Stampin' Up demonstrator. We get to see the new things before anyone else, we can order it with our demo discount, we get to share our love for stamping and paper crafting with others, and we can earn lots of extras, like free stamp sets and merchandise, a cruise to Alaska or the Bahamas, and stepped-up commissions on sales (in addition to the demo discount).  In addition, we work for a company that truly values its demonstrators, and has the best demo support of any company out there! What could be better than being paid for what you love to do???

If you'd like to join my team, or just have a question, please contact me through my demonstrator website. I'd love to tell you more!

A Fairy Happy Birthday

This is number one (of three) cards that I made for the Inkadinkado INKAfriends Gallery, as mentioned in my last post. I wanna get those free stamps! Free is good!!!

The Fairy is from the Inkadinkado Beautiful Fairies clear stamp set, and the sentiment is from Inka's Chelsea Sentiments. I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, since I wanted to color with the Copic markers. After I colored the image, I went back over her wings and the star swirls with Shimmerz Blingz Pixie Dust, which I thought was an appropriate name for the shimmer and sparkle associated with a fairy!

The sentiment was stamped with VersaMagic Perfect Plumeria ink and heat embossed with Stampin' Up! Iridescent Ice EP. It really sparkles, as seen in the close up to the right (click to enlarge).

The star rhinestones that I used in the swirls are made by Darice and are available at Michael's.
