  • Vintage Vogue Mother’s Day Card

    Alright, the count down to Mother’s Day is on!  Here is another card we made during our Mother’s Day card class but the nice thing is, you could use it any time of the year!

    Can I just say, I can’t believe how long it took me to realize what a great combo Blushing Bride and Rich Razzleberry are!  Sigh, of course I discover this right as Blushing Bride is retiring.  Oh well.

    This card was also an excuse for me to use the library clips I’ve been holding onto for a while and are retiring as well.  In fact, this card’s whole concept came from me wanting to use the clip to hold a couple pieces of cardstock as the focal point of the card… I just worked out from there.

    We did some stamping with Versamark (the flourish to the right of the torn edges), heat embossing (the white sentiment words), and fussy cutting to make this card.

    And in the end, I finally got around to remembering to decorate my envelope.  I stamped on the outside and lined the inside with matching Rich Razzleberry designer paper.  Don’t you just LOVE how a lined envelope looks?

    And of course, this is also one of my goodbyes to Vintage Vogue as well.  Definitely one of my favorite “vintage” sets.  So, I will probably use this card for a Grandma but can see making this design again later in the year for birthdays or thinking of you cards.  What would you use this card for?

  • More from Stampin’ Up regionals

    I have so many awesome things I saw or made at last weekends regionals that its going to take me a few posts to share the best with you.  I can’t imagine how many pictures and ideas I’m going to come back from convention with.  It should be a blast though!

     

    imgp5357I just had to share a picture of Mom and me, waiting to get let in to the conference room.  The energy was high and when they opened the door, hundreds of women started cheering as they raced (yes, literally running!) to grab their seats.  Shelli Gardner, the owner and co-founder of Stampin’ Up!, was there to talk to us about the direction of the company and share some of her tips and ideas.  She seems really nice and a lot of fun to listen to.  So after one of the sessions, we got a chance to say hello and snap a picture with her.  I have to say, I was very impressed that when I asked her a question about the product line and gave my thoughts, she was very open with me and seemed to care what I thought. 

     

    Finally, here are a couple of the make and takes we made during the day.  This uses one of the new sets in the Occasion Mini – Soft Summer-  and at the end of the day, I won the stamp set we used at our table for the make and take.  Woo Hoo!  I can’t say no to a free stamp set.  🙂
