The Regional that Wasn’t SWAPS

I'm now referring to the Syracuse Regional as "The Regional that Wasn't" – lol! Because I find I'm always wanting to share things from "The Regional" – but there wasn't actually a Regional! So these SWAPS are from the "Regional that Wasn't"!! A bunch of ladies that were attending and already had their SWAPS done mailed them so that we could still exchange some ideas. I still have about 40 SWAPS un-swapped… I think I'll have to sign up for an online SWAP somewhere!

Created by Kristen Koskie: Kristen used one of my favorite stamp sets in the Occasions Mini Catalog, Vintage Vogue! I love the simplicity of this card and what she's done to distress the Scallop Circle Punch and make it into a floral accent.

Created by Debbie Sowards: This stamp set "Simply Said", is an oldie but a goodie! It's been around the block for a while, but it never gets old to me. Every time I see a card done with it, I just say "Oh how I love that stamp set!" I just love Debbie's color selection of Sage Shadow, Barely Banana, Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue and Chocolate Chip.

Created by Michelle Fairbrother: The top of this card that the flower is on is actually a flap that opens up and you can stick a gift card or note inside! Very cute. I also love how she created the flower itself by distressing circle layers – it looks like she did the same thing as Kristen did on the first card I showed and misted water on the cardstock to crinkle it up better. Her use of the Scallop Corner Punch is also very cleaver!

Team Time SWAPS!

One of my favorite things about our Monthly Heartfelt Stamper's Team Times is seeing everyone's fabulous creations in the form of SWAPS! Here are 3 of my favorites from our March Team Time!

Created by Kriss Huels: Kriss used a stamp set called "Elements of Style" from the upcoming Summer Mini Catalog – it's becoming one of my all time favorite sets! Love it!! She paired it beautifully with Bordering Blue, So Saffron, Pretty in Pink and Always Artichoke colors.

Created by Phyl Lyons: I just love the layout that Phyl selected! She achieved the fabulous background with a Wood Grain Texturz Plate in the Big Shot. It's funny because I hardly ever see Bordering Blue used and I used it on my own SWAP, Kriss used it on hers above and Phyl used it on this one! Must be a new trend!

Created by Pam Kane: Another great choice of layout! I love all of the layering that Pam did with Not Quite Navy, So Saffron and Kraft Cardstock. This stamp set is a Level 2 Hostess Exclusive!

Lots of Congrats!

I know, I know…. it's been WAY too long since I've posted some samples!!! I've been beyond busy with Spring Retreat Preparations and Home Life — having an almost 1 Year Old who has just discovered his mobility doesn't leave much time for stamping! Gone are the days that he played in one area while I stamped – now it's "You touch a stamp mom and I'll climb the stairs!" – but I wouldn't trade being home with him and working a little less for the world!! I really love the flexibility of running my own business and working on my own terms… it just hasn't left all of you with many samples this past week!

So I'll make up for it and show you THREE samples today!!! Only I didn't design a single one, but that's OK!

My 2nd Level Upline, Missy Shipman, has "unofficially" rolled me up to her first level in terms of recognition and incentives this year so that I receive a little extra support and encouragement – it's so nice to have someone being in that role for me! So I thought I would share with you some of the things she's sent me based on my sales and recruiting in January & February.

Here is January's Congratulations Card:

Easter Fancy

Cards using "Flower Fancy" 2 days in a row!! I can't say that I do that often! But I just loved how the first one turned out, that I wanted to keep playing with this stamp set and Designer Paper paired together, so decided to start on some Easter Cards!

This one is pretty darn self explanatory… I think the only thing to point out is that the center of the flower is Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter – a fun combo!

WHAT TO ORDER:

Flower Fancy Stamp Set (111578), Well Scripted Stamp Set (W – 117072, C – 118601), Shades of Spring Designer Series Paper (117160), Pretty in Pink Cardstock (100459), So Saffron Classic Ink (105213), So Saffron Cardstock (105118), Old Olive Classic Ink (102277), Chocolate Chip Classic Ink (100908), Confetti White Cardstock (102028), Dazzling Diamonds Glitter (102023), White Taffeta Ribbon (109070) and Crystal Effects (101055)

Flower Fancy Birthday

Here is a Birthday Card that I made for my Grandma! I just love working with this stamp set, Flower Fancy. It's so striking!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• All of the paper shown here comes from the "Shades of Spring" Designer Series Paper Pack in the Occasions Mini Catalog – I just love it! I'm not normally a pastel person, but paired with this stamp set love the softness it brings.
• To achieve the flower look that I have, I inked up the solid image in Classic Ink and then misted it with a Shimmer Paint mixture before inking.
• I never use Square Rhinestone Brads! Never! So I challenged myself to put them to use as much as I can this week in my creating. Here's attempt number 1!

WHAT TO ORDER:

Flower Fancy Stamp Set (111578), On Your Birthday Stamp Set (111664), Certainly Celery Cardstock (105125), Certainly Celery Classic Ink (105217), Orchid Opulence Classic Ink (101859), Pale Plum Cardstock (101658), Pale Plum Classic Ink (102732), Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker (100071), Watercolor Paper (105019), Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware (111325), Masterpiece Ribbon Originals (116230), Small Oval Punch (107304), Square Ice Rhinestone Brads (109113) and Shades of Spring Designer Series Paper (117160)
