Stampin Up! TRAINING...

Hello

Today I am sharing with you the card fronts that I created for SU training with my team at the weekend... This is training that Julie puts on quarterly to share her wisdom with us! Also a great chance to catch up and have a gossip as well and see the great inspiration tables that a few people made also to inspire us... We made some great projects on the day, but as always I did not finish these - too busy nattering!

For my swap...

I used the new stampset watercolour winter - a new firm favourite for me and I embossed the poinsettia twice using the also new cherry cobbler embossing powder. I then cut these out - all 68 of them! 

and colour washed them with my aqua brush and my ink pad - concentrating the colour to the middle of the flower.

I stamped the fir of the tree in each corner of an ivory blank and inked the edges of this, I stamped merry christmas in the bottom right hand side and added an old olive brad in the top left corner...

I also added a bow to the top right hand side of this - although took my picture before I added them!

Here is a close up of the flower - added dimensionals to make it pop

here is a close up of the sentiment 

I hope you like my swap... if you would like more information on signing up as an SU demo please email me - there is a great offer at the moment to join a great team!

Happy Crafting

Sheffield Training Swap

OK so here is the card that I made for the Sheffield Regional Training day last week. There were about 25 of us there and one of the greatest things about these days are the swaps that we make eachother - I will post piccies of some of the fantastic work I received later in the week. So the card that I made is again craft - sensing a theme anyone?? I have used the fresh cuts stampset - this looks so good stamped in any colour! I love it, I have inked the edges of the card

blank in craft ink using a dauber. I have inked the edges of the image and mounted this on craft card stock and again inked the edges but this time I have chosen basic black ink to add a little depth to the mount. I have added a basic black panel with whisper white ribbon across the middle with a knot detail to the right hand side. I have stamped the sentiment from the stamp set in the bottom right hand side of the card - and for this I have used a stamp a majig.

I hope you like the card and thanks for looking - your comments are appreciated! Debbi x x x
