TTTC #23- 3D Flowers

Becky 12:00 AM 1 Comments

This week over at the Technique Twist we are adding 3D flowers on to our projects. I got my demo delivery at the start of the week and all the new stuff coming was in there. I used the new SU cardstock in colors as well as the Work of Art set.

My flowers are using the big spiral flower die both out of cardstock and DSP.

I was inspired by a card we had made in a demo club a few months ago.

Project Life Stampin up Style

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

I have so been wanting to try Becky Higgins Project Life scrapbook stuff but I am so loyal to SU that I was hesitate. I admit to buying the Project Life albums since SU doesn't carry them any more but the rest I just was unsure. So when I hear that Project Life and SU were teaming up I was so excited. As soon as Demos could order the stuff, I did and it arrived with in days. I am so in love with it. I already started four pages with it with plans for more. Here are the four pages I have. I am planning on doing a large year in review using it and I so hope for more products.

I love having the SU colors and papers in the Project Life format. Which means I can use my existing SU stuff and it will coordinate. You can order it here at this link:

http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ItemList.aspx?categoryid=1800

Here is what I got to start off:

1 package of the 12x12 Project Life variety sheets
The project Life stickers and accessory pack
The Project Life variety card pack
The Project Life coordinating stamp set.

All of it is fun to work with and makes a quick dynamic page that you can have as much or little as you like. Love the idea of using the compartments to make what I want to make!

Teacher Appreciation Week

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

It is Teacher Appreciation week at my daughter's school and she has an AWESOME teacher. I was so lucky with who she got this year (okay maybe luck didn't play that big a part in it). Her teacher Mrs. M is a friend (I have known her pre kids). So of course I need to spoil her because she both a great person and great teacher.

So here is my first project - some lovely paper flower pencils for her desk. I admit to being obsessed with paper flowers lately. I have making them constantly for people. They are a quick and easy gift to make and well they never die on you.

Stampin Up's New Catalog

Becky 12:00 AM 0 Comments

I was lucky enough to go on Monday night for the Stampin Up Catalog Premiere Party that was held at movie theaters around the US. I had never been to an event like this before and was excited to go with my up-line and other demonstrators in the area.

We were able to see a live stream of previews of some of the awesome new products that SU will be offering once the catalog goes live for customers come June 1. Sneak Peeks started May 1 for Demos that didn't get to go on Monday as well as ordering some of the new sets that are going to be offered.

Here is a peek of the catalog cover- this is the only thing we are allowed to show online from it and we are able to showcase some projects we made!

Here are some projects I made using the new stamp set they gave us at the event called Work of Art.

This page is inspired from a project in the Idea book.

Using one of my pumpkin kits bags, I decorated the gift bag and attached the card. I love the thank you!

A chevron bag done up using the same idea.

A fun card inspired by the new set.

Another card inspired by the Idea book and stamp set.

It was a fun night and I loved seeing all the new things. I have been pouring over the catalog every day since I got it and already did my sneak peek order to plan for a card class!

Thanks

Becky
