Stampers Club Projects
Fun with textures! Faux Suede
This past week I was supposed to go to Syracuse for a Stampin' Up! Regional seminar. We were going to have a full day of stamping fun and they had even asked me to do a 5 minute wow presentation on stage. I was both scared and excited to do it. Unfortunetely the event got cancelled at the last minute due to severe snow.
So, I decided the projects I was going to show on stage would be perfect for my stamp club and my team's stamp and share night. I showed them 5 different projects that I had prepared and they got to make 2 of them
Here are some of the projects:

Stamp Sets: Loads of Love Stamp Set, Loads of Love Accessories Stamp Set
Paper: Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White Cardstock
INK: Chocolate Chip, Going Gray, Basic Black, Blush Blossom, Close to
Accessories:
Stampin’ Write Markers: Brocade Blue, Basic Black, Creamy Caramel, Close to

Can you see the shine on the fender of the card? I love using Crystal Effects to create a 3D shine effect!
To create the texture portion of this card:
Take a strip of cardstock and spritz with water on both sides of the cardstock and crumple in your hands, ensuring to create texture. Set aside to dry.

This is the card I was going to demo on stage, I actually used Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder to add DAZZLE to the designer series paper. It's really quite sparkly in person!

To create the textured butterly (chocolate):
Using your bone folder, work the cardstock and fibers of the large cut butterfly. Make sure to do both sides and all areas but be careful for the middle of the butterfly. You will see the fibres become loose so you can now tear the edge so the paper completely splits, this gives you a beautiful, textured, faux suede look.

Supplies
Stamp Set: With All My Love Stamp Set
Paper: Rose Red Cardstock, Very Vanilla Cardstock, Sweet Pea Designer Paper Stack
INK: Rose Red Classic Ink, Versamark Ink
Accessoried: Big Shot, Top Note Die, Beautiful Butterflies, Sponge Daubers, Paper Snips, Horizontal Slot Punch, Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Snail Adhesive, Bone Folder

Flower Pot Card
I had such a lovely weekend in Lake Placid…I honestly thought that I’d come home rested-BUT, I’m absolutely exhausted. It takes alot out of you to have fun. lol. I was there on a "ladies retreat" with my Church listening to Anne Beiler and her awesome story of faith. She is also an amazing business woman and started Auntie Ann’s pretzels over 20 years ago. I personally have never been to one of these stores…maybe one day they’ll come to my area…but I heard their pretzels are amazing!
I hope you had a terrific weekend too! Today, I’ll be hosting a bunch of ladies in my studio to make 80 wedding invitations! It’s going to be alot of fun! If you’re getting married and live in Ottawa, make sure you contact me to book your wedding consultation! You’ll be amazed at how beautiful your wedding invites can be when you make them!
The sample I’m showing you is PERFECT FOR MOTHER’S DAY or some special lady! It’s a flower-pot card….isn’t it adorable?! This is one of the projects we made in my stamper’s club last month. If you want directions, click here.


I just love this idea!
Don’t you?!
