Inking Idaho on the Road

This past weekend was our annual Inking Idaho on the Road event in Boise.  It is a super fun event with projects that we make, demonstrations of techniques and ideas, laughter, friendship and impressive displays made from Stampin' Up! products.

I was so excited to make a display with my favorite, the Flourishing Phrases bundle.  I hope you enjoy my display and how I share each project.  If you like this post, then please subscribe to my blog in the right hand column.

This is my display at the event.

This Glassine Gift Bag is embossed and the belly band is bedecked with ribbon, flowers, leaves and sentiment.  I wanted it to look very special to tell the recipient they are very special!

The Curvy Keepsake box is perfectly sized to stamp the large flower.  This is Watermelon Wonder ink stamped on Watermelon Wonder card stock.  Then I stamped our Whisper White craft ink over the same image. I love this effect!

I love the die cut flower flourish but I also really like the negative from the die cut. The cut-out absence seemed fitting in this sympathy card.  I traced the entire image with clear glitter Wink of Stella to make it sparkly and pop.

The flourish stamp makes a soothing background on this wedding card.  I wanted it to be pretty but not pink and girly.  The Soft Saffron and Mint Macaron are a delightful color combination.

The die cuts in this bundle have so much versatility.  The border has a very interesting design.  This is cheerful get well card in Sweet Sugarplum, Rich Razzleberry, and Blushing Bride.  The clear Wink of Stella made the flowers subtly elegant. 

One more packaging idea, this is the Mini Treat Bag thinlit.  The flourish is a sophisticated detail on the bag.

I used our scalloped tag topper punch to create a tab to pull the note card out of the bag.  There was also room for placing 3 Ghiradelli chocolate squares to make this truly a treat bag!

This card front is a sheet of vellum stamped with Dapper Denim and the die cut flourish attached with fine tip glue.

I hope you have enjoyed my projects for this display.  I really enjoyed making them.  Which project would you like to make?

Last Chance and Early Bird Registration

One extra day to register for the Birthday Card Buffet Class:

Here is a quick look at the buffet options for class on Saturday January 21st, 11-2.  When you sign up to attend I will send individual images to you for your selection.  Email or text me.

You choose which cards you want to make and how many of each card. I cut everything for you and when you come to class you stamp and cut out everything for each card and assemble ONE of each at class. The rest is homework, but you have everything you need all ready, you just glue it together.  20 handmade cards for $35 is a great value.  I hope this sounds fun and an efficient way to get stocked up for birthdays in 2017!  Contact me to sign up today, January 15, 2017
