Why do I care what 51 card fronts looks like? Well, I went to Stampin'Up!'s Leadership Conference and this is what I prepared for a swap that I participated in. I had a grand time learning things about my business. But besides the learning part of the conference, there is great fun to be had by swapping ideas with other demonstrators. I love participating in swaps because I get so many wonderful ides that I can then use in my business. Being a demonstrator does not require you to know it all. We help each other out by sharing our ideas. Join my team of demonstrators and I will be your number one helper!!
This photos shows all of my card fronts.
Here is close-up shot of my card design.
I also participated in a swap with my friend Cindy Umbach and this is the card that I sent to her swap.
I love the look of the ribbon pleated accross the stamped image, but I wasn't up to doing another 51 of those so I did change things a bit for leadership.
Both designs use the same colors but are assembled just a bit differently. I love the soft spring colors on them and was very pleased with the new embossing folder that can be found in our new Occasions Mini catalog. If you love it as much as I do, then you can order yours by clicking here!
Tulips Embossing Folder (121809), Easter Blossoms Stamp set in clear (121905), Pear Pizzaz cardstock, ink and ribbon and Pretty in Pink and Pink Pirhoutte markers. The card base is Naturals Ivory cardstock (101849). I like to use this or the Confetti cardstocks when I want that neutral color to my card base because these are heavier than Whisper White or Very Vanilla and give the card base more body.
Thanks for stopping in today and be sure to leave a comment about my work! Your thoughts are appreciated.
Oh Francis, these are beautiful. My favorite colors together to make a soft look. And I'm with you on doing the ribbon over 51 times. I love both cards!!! And I love your work and what an inspiration you are to me.
