CONVENTION HIGHLIGHTS

 Today I wanted to share with you some glimpses of Stampin' Up! convention 2012 in Salt Lake City, Utah (my very first, and hopefully not the last - I am already starting to save up for next year!)  I was so busy experiencing everything, I didn't always think to take pictures.  Hope these below convey at least a little of the amazing time I had.  Until the next time, happy stamping!

SANDED ROSES tutorial

Hi Stampers!

Today's card features a technique that is oh-so-easy but has a great WOW! factor -- sanded DSP.  

©Stampin' Up! 1990-2012

To make it you will need:

     

     Itty Bitty Banners stamp set

     Soft Suede and Regal Rose card stock

     Brights Designer Series Paper pack

     Regal Rose classic ink pad

     Manhattan Flower embossing folder

     Bitty Banners Framelits

     Big Shot & platform, standard cutting pads

     Sanding block

     Glue Stick, or other adhesiv

     Paper snips

 Here's what you do:

1.  Cut Soft Suede card stock 5.5" x 8.5".  Score long edge at 4.25" (card base)

2.  On a scrap of Regal rose card stock, stamp the Itty Bitty Banners greeting.

3.  Using the Big Shot, emboss the Manhattan Flower image onto a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of Regal Rose designer series paper; then cut out the stamped greeting using the Bitty Banners Framelits -- they were made for each other!

4.  Adhere flower image to card front.  Expose white core of DSP by lightly sanding the raised image. 

5. Using the snips, trim away the extra card stock on the card front along the upper edge of the roses.

6.  Adhere greeting to upper right corner of the now exposed inner card.

Voila! In just a few minutes, a thing of beauty.

Play with different color combinations to make your own beautiful card bouquet.

Thanks for stopping by.  I love to read your comments, so feel free to drop me a line.

Until the next time,  HAPPY STAMPING!
