STAMPARATUS and my OnStage swap cards

I had a fabulous time at OnStage in Salt Lake City! Thanks so much to all my customers, team members and those who purchase shares from me, for giving me the opportunity to attend all the Center Stage events for Silver Elite demos and above.  I feel totally blessed by you and can’t thank you enough!

Here’s my card for the “layerable” swap I participated in.  The idea was to make a 4″ x 5-1/4″ card front that you could take home and attach to a regular A2 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ card base.  The colors are Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic Black.  You can order the supplies to make this card at the bottom of this post.

Don’t you love the darling flowers created with the Support Ribbon Framelits?  All the framelit pieces for these swaps were cut by my Big Shot expert, Allison.  Thanks so much Allison!  I enjoyed sharing this swap with Shelli Gardner, Cofounder and Board Chair of Stampin Up and Patty Bennett, the million dollar seller who created the Ribbon of Courage stamp set and Support Ribbon Framelits that I used to make this card.

Shelli Gardner is so kind and genuine.  It was fun getting to meet her.

I made a Year of Cheer 3 Nugget box for my sweet teammate and roommate, Lynn Tague, here’s her blog. I also gave one to Shelby Freeman, a helpful and kind Stampin Up employee and my three uplines, Ann Schach, Mary Fish and Lisa Pretto, all Stampin Up demo big wigs!  So blessed to be part of their team!

It’s big news when something breaks the mold and changes everything. The Stamparatus will change the way you stamp, and before long, you’ll wonder how you crafted without it!

Why do YOU need one? You’ll fall in love with stamping all over again when you learn everything you can do with it!

If you know me, you know I love to make Hershey Nugget boxes to give as little gifts. Of all the boxes I’ve ever made, this one is my favorite!  The Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) is stunning! I made this box for the Creative Crew on Splitcoast Stampers (CCREW1117TECH) and the Pal’s Blog Hop.

Tip- Use your bone folder on the backside of the Copper Foil Sheet to make it easier to wrap around the Hershey Nugget.

Hug in a Mug

Nobody loves hot chocolate more than my sweet Abby.  When I saw this Hug in a Mug stamp set in the Holiday catalog, I knew I needed to get it and make some Abby cards.  This is my clean and simple version for Splitcoast Creative Crew.

Isn’t this a darling stamp set?!

For this stepped up version, I heat embossed the sentiment with Clear embossing powder.  Did you know you can heat emboss in any color?  With your stamp, first put it on your Versamark pad and then into your ink color of choice.  Sprinkle with Clear embossing powder, and heat emboss.  I love being able to heat emboss in all colors.  Make sure you use the Embossing Buddy so you don’t get stray marks embossed on your project.  Let me know if you have any questions.

I also added a Bermuda Bay stripe ( because it’s my favorite color), popped up the red hearts on dimensionals and used Embossing Paste for the whipped cream on top of the hot chocolate.  I was pretty excited to have an original thought (the embossing paste whipped cream) that wasn’t CASED from anyone. 🙂

Keegan had a Heartland Youth Choir (HYC) concert this afternoon and they ended the concert with May the Lord Bless You and Keep You.  It’s my favorite HYC song but it always make me cry.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
