Daisy Lane

The 2019/2020 Idea Book & Catalogue contains this adorable new Daisy bundle! The stamp set is called Daisy Lane and there is a new smaller daisy punch. The sentiments and script in the stamp set are quite fantastic! I can see myself using them for both cards and scrapbooking! I created this card after being inspired by something I saw online a while back. I wish I could remember the original creator! I changed a few of the elements to make it my own but loved her color combination of Grapefruit Grove, Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink and Poppy Parade. I stamped the greeting in Grey Granite as it is softer neutral. Embossing the flowers also gives them a bit of a softer feel as well. And I just feel like a sequin can always add a bit of flair to your card as well.

Photography Tips 101

So my awesome friend Pam, who did all of my branding photography, did me a solid last night and came and spoke at my Glitter Girls Team meeting! She created an amazing power point to help us all create better flat lays to showcase our creative work. She walked us through the process from choosing the right background, what lighting to use, and how to showcase our cards using the rule of thirds, triangles, left to right placement and more. It was absolutely fascinating! Below are my attempts to employ some of the tips she shared. Which one is your favourite? I am curious which was catches your eye! Please comment below and share any feedback!

Incentive Trip Swaps

One of the best parts of the Incentive Trip is it is the only time Stampin’ Up! coordinates an organized swap. We have to create 26 swaps, one being kept by SU, and the other swapped out. We drop them off in a labelled bag on the first day at sea and then pick them up a few days later. In the past I have been lucky enough to get swaps back from some stampin’ royalty! I hope I am lucky enough this time too! The card below is what I came up with. It uses the Friend Like You stamp set, Stitched Labels and Tropical framelits, plus the Dinoroar DSP and AMAZING new Old Olive/Pretty Peacock reversible ribbon (I highly recommend this, so awesome in person!) and what card of mine is complete without a little metallic thread? I hope everyone enjoys my swaps and I cannot wait to see the swap boards in our hospitality room!

To a Wild Rose...I love you!

I have used the To a Wild Rose stamp set more than any other out of the new Idea Book and Catalogue! What stamp set have your been continually drawn to? I recently had a team meeting where we participated in catty cases so I reached for this awesome stamp set to make these three fabulous cards. I love how each one is unique and really showcases the versatility of this stamp set! I have used this set on scrapbook pages as well, I just cannot get enough of it!
