Kinda Eclectic - Convention 2014 display

Hello again. I'm excited to show you more (and the last) of the samples I created for Stampin' Up! 2014 Convention displays. These samples feature the

Kinda Eclectic

stamp set and other various products from the annual catalog. Contact me if you'd like more information, directions or supplies.

I've had some request for supplies and how to on the above card so I thought I'd share... 

Supplies for 'A Day to Remember' CARD:

Colors:

Mossy Meadow, Lost Lagoon, Pool Party, Going Gray, Whisper White

Stamps:

Kinda Eclectic Stamp set

Project Life Remember This Stamp set

Inks: 

Mossy Meadow & Lost Lagoon Classic Ink

Papers:

Moonlight DSP, Whisper White, Lost Lagoon & Pool Party Card Stocks

Embellishments:

Pearls

5/8" Organza Ribbon

Tools, etc:

Blossom Punch

Itty Bitty Flower Accent punch

Woodgrain Embossing Folder (& Big Shot)

Heat Gun & White Embossing powder

Spong Dauber

Scissors

Adhesive

Baby Wipes

The starburst was embossed on whisper white card with white embossing power stock first. Then I sponged lost lagoon ink (with a dauber directly from the ink pad) around the stardust randomly - I tried this a few times and I like the random look best. Then I lightly wiped with a baby wipe to remove ink from the embossed area (emboss resist).  Then punch out flower shape with the blossom punch.

Here are quick links to all my convention samples:

Amazing Birthday Projects - Convention 2014 display

As I mentioned in my previous post, I applied again to be a display stamper and was invited to create 8 samples (4 cards, 2 Gift, 1 scrapbooking) using the three convention sets. I made a total of 24 samples.

This is the first post of three featuring the samples I made a for Stampin' Up! Inspire Create Share Convention 2014. Below are the samples created for the Amazing Birthday Stamp set. All the supplies for each of the projects are available in the current catalog.

















Stampin' Up! Convention Day 1 - Inspire Create Share 2014

It is annual Stampin' Up! convention time again... Woohoo. This year I am attending with my friend (and downline) Paula Hogan. Her personal blog is here.  It's so much fun to experience convention in front of the curtain and to see so many familiar and friendly faces. I am lucky to be demonstrator. I love my hobby and love to "support" my hobby. 

While I am passionate about my SU hobby, I cannot compete with the passion of this guy. Impressive!


I attended convention last year with Joellyn (so much fun). You can read posts about that here.  Last year I did not make card swaps and regretted it. This year I came prepared with swaps, not to actively trade but to have on hand just in case. Below are the swaps I created. I made about 30 cards total (15 each) and after day 1 I've depleted over half and I wasn't even trying. I know 30 swaps small potatoes for many but totally been worth it for me. I've gotten some cool cards in return but mostly have enjoyed the social nature of a swap. 



Primary sets used are: Flower Patch, Watercolor Thank you and Work of Art.

There is so much to capture with an event like this. Here are a few random phone shots from the day.

Blendabilities markers (new 'copic like' blending markers) that I got to help with packaging design (freelance, last summer). Look how pretty these colored peacocks are? 



I applied and was invited to be a convention stamper again. Yeah for me. I'm a dork but I love to stamp with a purpose and this fit that need perfectly. More fun stuff! I'll share the samples I created in the coming days, once convention is over.
