Here we go again! Display stamper time…

 Hi friends! Well, that time has come again. Once again, Stampin' Up! has opened up the opportunity to it's Demonstrators to apply to create samples for it's On Stage event. It's an amazing opportunity, one that I haven't had in forever, and I would love to do it again, especially for their big 30th Anniversary event! 

 In order to apply, we must submit 3 cards, 2 3-D items and a scrapbook page. Here are the projects I've chosen.

 

Cards

 

For my first card, I chose the sweet little card I created for this card and gift box with the Foxy Friends stamp set.I loved how by using a different technique I was able to create such a different look with this set!

For my second card, I decided on this one, because I feel it really expresses my style really well. I love the soft watercolor, with the bright colors and bold contrast.

Last but not least for my card entries, I chose this card which combines some of my favorite items from the catalog! I love the Petal Palette stamp set and dies, I LOVE coloring with our Stampin' Blends, and I LOVE fun colors mixed with GOLD!

3-D items

   I love creating 3-D items, and Our dies make it so fun and easy! Here are the two projects I chose to showcase for 3-D.

   

 This fun Summer banner is so bright and cheery! After cutting the letters out of watercolor paper with the Large Letters dies, I watercolored them for a fun ombre look.

 The Takeout Thinlits dies are probably one of the things I am most looking forward to using from this upcoming Holiday catalog!!! Paired with the Spirited Snowmen set it's the perfect, sweet little box for goodies! Once again, I couldn't help but use my Stampin' Blends!

 

Scrapbook page

 

 This page is so special to me. My husband retired last year after a 20 year career with our police department. Finding ways to scrapbook such an accomplishment can be hard, because I can't really use a lot of embellishments, and there aren't a lot of products that lend them selves to the subject. So I have to get creative. I love how I was able to use the Lined Alphabet set in two different ways on this page, and the interest that adds. As an extra special touch, and to add more visual interest I did a very unique "matting" so to speak. I created two different levels under two of the photos with cardstock, sandwiching Pacific Point cardstock in between layers of Basic Black to create a "thin blue line" detail . He said that it's his favorite part of the page.

 

Thanks for stopping by today!!! I appreciate the opportunity to apply for Display Stamper – now time to cross my fingers!
