Open House SAB sample card sneak peak!

Hello Stampin' Friends!

I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of the 24 swap cards in the mail today. They arrived safely....given all the rain we have had.

Here are two of the swap cards. They were both made by two talented demonstrators in our Stampin' Up! demonstrator's team. The card on the left was designed by Bev. She used the Delight in Life stamp set. She outlined the flower petals and leaves using the Rose Red and Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers followed by colouring them in with the Regal Rose and Certainly Celery. The center of the flower was coloured using the markers as well with So Saffron. Bev used the same flower image to make the leaves. She just cut them out and adhered them under the flower. Dazzling Diamonds glitter was added to the center of the flower using the 2-Way Glitter Pen. It adds a wonderful touch a glitz to her card. The two accents of Black Gingham Ribbon anchor the card. Amazing layout and layering!


The 2nd card was stamped by Lucie. She used the Happy Harmony SAB stamp set as well as Fine Lace Background stamp, Linen Background stamp, and French Flair Background stamp. The flower was direct to stamp coloured using Stampin' Write Markers. A bit of a 'huff' on the stamp moistens the ink before it is stamped on the paper. Note the wonderful softened effect Lucie gave to this card by sponging around the different paper layers to this card including the main card stock piece. Lucie also used Moss Gingham Ribbon which really completes her card.

At present there will be 35 different card samples on display during the Open-House using the Sell-A-Bration stamp sets. There are samples using each of the 5 different SAB stamp sets. Many other card samples will be on display, so there should be something of interest to everyone! I hope you will be able to attend. If you are requiring directions, please just send me an e-mail at staceysstampingstudio@shaw.ca and I will forward directions.


Happy Stampin'
