Holiday in the States

 Hi everyone, sorry I haven't posted for awhile enjoying a holiday in the states. Visiting NYC, Washington DC, and now on our way to Fort Lauderdale to meet many other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, and board the Allure of the Seas. Getting excited now. It appears to be raining heavily in a Fort Lauderdale and flights have been diverted, so hoping that's not going to be us.

Just a few shot of place we have been, and will share more of the cruise at a later date. Thanks to all my wonderful customers and downline/up line fir their continued support.

Heat Embossing used for Scrap Book Layout

These couple of Scrap Booking pages were going to be demonstrated on the weekend, but will be a later date now. Using the co-ordinates card stock for the background, you can get a distressed look, especially designed for distressing. (Excellent product). Then with the Simply Scored plate I scored down the left side, creating an interesting feature. Cannot create a page without the Bigshot, I used the framelits to cut out all the flags under the photo, in all different designer series papers! and card stock? I heat embossed the greeting using one of our colourful embossing powders (tempting turquoise) and cut it out with deco labels framelits.  Embellished with our clay mould flowers, and coloured it with our re-inker.

The second page, I embossed our wonderful large background butterfly stamp in gold embossing powder, then rubbed it over with a dauber and ink. When I had the colour I liked, then just polished over the butterfly with a piece of paper towel to take excess ink off the gold embossing, making the butterfly shine. Used the bigshot again for the heading and the flag.

Double layout finished. Gorgeous Jordi, she was so happy, a few days with Nan and Pop.

Your turn now,

Happy Stampin'

Bigshot and Scrap Booking go together

I demonstrated this double layout with Haidee and her guests. Lots of techniques and bigshot ideas, really kept them amazed with how wonderful Stampin' Up! Products are.

This first page, we used the bigshot with embossing, cut out with thinlits, and also stamped and used co-ordinating framelits to cut out. Many other techniques incorporated as well.

This layout, I stamped the background with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set (this is a must have set), then used the bigshot again to emboss, and cut out with the star burst framelits. The alphabet dies is a great size for headings ( another must for scrap bookers) Haidee the very proud owner of a bigshot and this great die now. The benefits of holding your own Stampin' Up! Workshop.

The double layout together.
