Stampin' Up! Convention

The Stampin' Up! Annual Convention has started and I'm just so excited!

It's hard to explain the excitment. A kid in a candy shop. Maybe?  I am possibly that kid.
My heart is full with joy. My nights a filled with dreams of ribbons and pretty papers!

Most demonstrators participate in something called 'Swaps.' These are a card front and I have
made 100 of the same design. Yes, 100. Phew, so many bows! I had help thankfully, from my
good friend - thanks Nicole. xx

Here is my 'Swap' card:

 

Stamp Sets: Stippled Blossoms ; From My Heart

Accessories: Crotchet Trim (dyed green with Isocol and Old Olive ink refill) ; 1cm Taffeta Ribbon ; 

Twine ; Square Lattice Embossing Folder

Colour Combination:Whisper White ; Old Olive ; Certainly Celery ; Pink Pirouette ; Melon Mambo

 I will be back on my blog to post more pictures of  Convention. If you would like to stay up-to-date with all the fun happenings at Brisbane Convention, follow me on Facebook.

Happy Mother's Day!

I'm not sure about other parts of the world, but today in Australia it's Mother's Day. I am very lucky not only to have an amazing Mum, but I am also blessed to be a mother myself. 

This is just a quick post to show you the Mother's Day card I made for my mum.

'Stippled Blossoms' Tri-Fold card:

There's lots of tutorials on YouTube about tri-fold cards like this one. I have a handout that I give in my classes, if you would like the handout send me an email and I will send it to you. :)

Happy Mother's Day

With Love,

Lou X

Just Add Ink - Sketch Challenge

Just Add Ink 164

To all my devoted followers, please forgive me for not posting some creations for a little while. I am hoping I still have followers! Thank you to those who are still with me. Mwah. xx

To get back into the swing of things, I am playing along at my favourite challenge - Just Add Ink.

This week is a sketch challenge:

 

My card has also been made for a very special friend who loves blue and white, shabby chic and pretty things. Swoon. I'm sure the universe brought us together! Happy Birthday Sue.

Insert:

The top flower has been stamped in Marina Mist and I added extra colour with Stampin' Markers. I also cut it out and raised it a little to give it dimension. Hopefully these images show it a bit better.

'You Are Loved' - Page 24 of main catalogue.
 

Accessories / Tools: 3.5cm Square Punch, Elegant Line Embossing Folder, Stampin' Markers, Seam Binding Ribbon
