PENNY BLACK & STAMPNATION!!!

Hi friends!  This week's StampNation challenge is being sponsored by Penny Black.  We have a beautiful inspiration photo to be inspired by.  The collage above is a peek at the cards you can see in full at StampNation.   The Penny Black designers have joined us and made cards using the inspiration photo.  Everyone was very inspired and the cards are stunning!

I had a ton of fun playing with Penny Black goodies.  Here is a peek of my card for the SN challenge.

This was my first time using any of Penny Black's products and I have to say they were amazing to work with.  Great quality with a great variety of designs and styles.  I would highly recommend them.

Would you like a chance to WIN some?  One lucky StampNation challenge participant will get to choose THREE products from the new Penny Black catalog.  Awesome, right?!!!!

Hello for Cure for the Monday Blues!

Hi everyone!  This card was inspired by Taheerah's, Cure For The Monday Blues challenge.  Here is the awesome graphic.

My inspiration came from the triangles on the blanket.  I used the Full Card Hourglass die from Simon Says.  Gold foil paper with a neon pink accent for the Hello.  Gold sequins and pink enamel dots to finish it off.  Super simple card with no stamping.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Cardstock:  White, Black, Neon Pink, Gold foil
Accessories:  Full Hourglass die (SSS), Hello die (PTI), Sequins, Enamel dots

StampNation LIVE 2014!

 

Hi friends.  I wanted to pop in and share my swap card that I made for the 2nd Annual StampNation LIVE Retreat.  I had an amazing time.  It is so much fun getting together in one room with so many crafty ladies.  I was so excited to see old friends and meet new ones. 

At the retreat there were make-n-takes each day for attendees to work on.  There was an OWH table for everyone to make cards for Operation Write Home.  We also had Try-it tables each day.  I was in charge of showing everyone a few different techniques using Gelatos.  Lots of fun.

There were many amazing sponsors for StampNation LIVE!  Here is a StampNation DT selfie and a group photo.

The weather was gorgeous while we were there.  Even though we were inside most of the time, I did sneak out to soak up some sun and enjoy the green that could be seen.  It was snowing the morning I left for the retreat, we still have brown grass and are just starting to see buds on our trees.  I really wanted to stay in NC for a bit longer.  I am already looking forward to StampNation LIVE 2015!!!
