Display Stamper - Easy Events 12x12 Page

This is the last project I made as a display stamper and this one really was my favorite!! I used a picture from my youngest 10th Birthday Party and it was a great picture of him!! (Everyone says his a mini me ... attitude and all!) I just love everything about this page!! I started with the red base since that's his favorite color and then picked the blue to accent it. I cut out the large circle then matted it with the scallop border punch that I ran through the crimper so I could manipulate it around the circle. Lastly I matted that with smaller punched circles since I did not have a scallop that was anywhere near that size as well as the picture. I cut out the Happy Birthday saying with the big shot and the birthday decorative strip as well as some swirls. I used the cupcake from the easy events stamp set and colored them to match the cardstock colors and you can't really notice from te picture but I added iridescent ice to frosting to make it shine a bit. This was the only project I am recreating to have for myself as it was really hard to let it go!! Hope you like it as much as I do and Happy Stamping!!

Display Stamper - Easy Events Goodie Box

This is my last 3-d item made using Easy Events and my favorite (everything always seems to be my favorite!). This time I used the cupcake stamp. I used all blue tones with this one which really made it pop. I did not have a scallop punch that was the size I wanted to I punched a bunch of small circles out of a crimped piece of paper and lined them around the circle. The box shape I made out of an old box of candy I saved because I liked the shape. Happy Stamping!!

Display Stamper - Easy Events Baby 3-d

This is the first 3-d item I created using Easy Events. I used one of my old button containers to create this cute little baby shower favor. I watercolored the main image once again using my watercolor crayons. Then I wanted the little rubber ducky to have some shine to it so I added some clear embossing powder to it. I covered the container with some DSP, added my image, a bow and a saying and this baby was done! These would be quick to put a bunch together! Happy Stamping!

Display Stamper - Easy Events Baby Card

This way actually the very first card I put together for my submissions and was my favorite of them all!! This one I made with some scraps I had sitting out on my desk .... I seem to do that a lot!! I stamped the main image then added a few more wave lines to make them longer. I watercolored the image with my watercolor crayons, then I darkened a few spots with my markers to get a more textured look. I added a bit of yellow scallops to the back to help tie in the colors, then added the brads and ribbon to pull it all in together. It would be a perfect card as an announcement or really anything baby related. Happy Stamping!!

Display Stamper - Easy Events Clock

I really like this image from Easy Events and at first I had no idea how to use it, I had the image stamped and all colored before I even knew what I was going to do with it. I think it sat on my desk that way for a couple weeks before I finally figured it out. Basically I picked out a few different scraps I had that matched they way I colored it and played with them until I came out with this layout. It's really simple but very cute! Happy Stamping!

Display Stamper - Easy Events More Flowers

Here is a really cheerful birthday card! I'm not one who usually uses such bright colors and it all seemed a little bold for my normal tastes but since your are trying to showcase versatility when creating for the display boards it worked! I think doing these have really help me stretch my creativity! Of course there are a few telltale signature things in this card ... glitter on the flowers (who doesn't put glitter on everything??), my bow (everyone teases me about how "perfect" my bows are) and I always have some sort of embossing on my cards. Happy Stamping!!

Display Stamper - Easy Events Tree

I love this little tree image from the Easy Events set. It can be used for lots of different cards. I kept this card rather simple, but I thought it had a little bit of spunk to it. I cut of a second heart and added a bit of glitter to it then popped it up which was the perfect touch to add. I added a stripe of red on either side of the base to help tie in the red bow to bring it all together. Happy Stamping!!

Display Boards - Raining Flowers Wreath

This was a cute and super simple little project. I just used a mini grapevine wreath and decorated it with some spring colored flowers and some ribbon. After I stamped the flowers out I added some iridescent ice to them to make them sparkle, we all need a bit of sparkle!! Happy Stamping!

Display Boards - Raining Flowers Sympathy

Here is the last card from my submission for Raining Flowers. The color combo is a little unusual but really looks stunning in person. I made the three tier bow which really added to the card. The main image is stamp with black staz on then stamped over with versamark so that I could emboss with clear powder. I then sponged the image to make it with pool party to make it pop.

My thoughts and prayer are with those effect by the events on 9/11.

Display Boards - Raining Flowers Flowerpot

This was my favorite card I made using Raining Flowers that I sent in!! Can you believe my hubby helped design it, well not really but I had everything done on this card but the flower pot. I showed it to him and said it was missing something but couldn't figure out what. He suggested stamping a flower pot, since this set didn't have one I figured I could make one out of paper. It was exactly what the card needed!! The flower is embossed and the layered to give dimension. Happy Stamping!

Display Boards - Raining Flowers Tulip

This was a pretty simple card but I thought it really stood out. I created the tulip by using the leave stamp from the Raining Flowers set. I slit open the double leaves and added a third to create the tulip. I then layered the image onto a scallop circle I cut using the big shot. The base is Lucky Limeade with a strip of DSP on one side. Then I just added some ribbon, pearls and a sentiment and it was done! Happy Stamping!

Display Boards - Raining Flowers

When I first got the new in colors I immediately loved Wisteria Wonder, mostly because purple is my favorite color. And this was actually a fun color combo! I embossed the Concord Crush piece with the elegant line embossing folder and it really helped pull the whole card together! This would also be another great card to send to a friend just because! I think we forget to do things like that ... or at least for me it seems like I make cards to send for a reason but how nice would it be to just get a card because. Happy Stamping!


ETA: Someone asked if they missed this one on the boards and I forget to mention this one was on the VIP only lounge so you didn't get to see this one on the regular display boards.

Display Boards - Raining Flowers Friend

Well now on to my next set of projects for the convention display boards using the stamp set Raining Flowers.

I am kinda glad I got this set as I don't think I would have ever bought it. I would say flowers are not my style but that wouldn't be exactly true. I think it"s more that I live in a household full of guys so there are not many reasons or chances to use flower based sets. I had a lot of fun with set and probably created some of my best stuff using this set. This card is pretty straight forward but I really like the color combo it's so bright and cheery perfect for sharing with a friend just because! Happy Stamping!

Display Boards - Best Friends Forever

This is the last of my Best Friends Forever display samples and it was my favorite for sure! I used a small embroidery hoop and used my Cherry Cobbler ink pad to paint it. I then used some fabric to cover it. I decorate the bottom right to coordinate. You can't tell in the photos but the hearts are all sparkly with iridescent ice and the flourish is embossed. Happy Stamping!

Display Boards - Best Friends Forever

Here is my last card I made suing this set. It's a pretty simple one! And yes I did use some more of that paper on this card. Once again I used the Raining Flowers set to accent this card. I added some pearls to the centers and underneath the sentiment which really helped bling up the card. Happy Stamping!

Display Boards - Best Friends Forever

I would say this card is not my normal style and there is a little story about how I made this one all come together. First off I new I wanted to use some of the paisley petals paper well because I need to use this ugly paper up and that's how I came up with the color combo. (yes I regret ever buying this paper.) I also felt that the flowery vine image needed something more to go with it So I made a couple of stacked flowers using the Raining Flowers set, then I added some torn paper to put the sentiment on and then a cute little bow. So basically my story is add things to hide the things you don't like and you end up with a pretty cute card! Happy Stamping!
