StampinUP Event Swaps featuring Flowers for a nice change!!

THESE 2 CARD SAMPLES ARE RANDOM SWAPS I RECD AT A STAMPINUP EVENT.  DESIGNERS ARE UNKNOWN (SORRY).  SOMETIMES ITS NICE TO SEE FLOWERY CARDS IN THE DEAD OF WINTER, RIGHT?

 
                                                                                                 
 The Pressed Petals Designer Paper featured here is
just beautiful I think!
The Butterfly Duet Punch was used as well.



For this card, the Inspiring Iris set was used.
The Layering Ovals Dies were also used to highlight the flowers.
Braided Linen Trim (pg. 174) makes for a nice embellishment.


Thank you for blogging by and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
May all your dreams come true in 2020.

New Items Coming in 2020!! Check out the Lovely Lily Pad Sale-A-Bration Set for Christmas.....


 I designed this Christmas card for a class project.
The flower from the new Sale-A-Bration set (Lovely Lily Pad)
made a fun poinsettia!!

 This display board from On Stage shows off the
sporty items for all the golfers out there.
I LOVE (and have) the paper because it will make great
masculine cards for non-golfers also!
(plaids and argyle patterns are all the rage)

Another display board with a few samples using
Country Club Suite items from the 2020 Mini Catalog.


Are you needing a Sale-A-Bration brochure & a new Mini
Catalog of your own?  Please contact me for a copy of each.

Thank you for blogging by.  I hope your evening involves
some stamping OR just plain fun no matter what you are doing!!
