Kinda Eclectic

Once again I owe you an apology for being such a slacker!  I keep putting off writing my blog posts.

I think I’m back though.  My Open House is over and I have all of the card stock cut for next week’s classes.  Today I plan to design!  Ok…I need to clean a bit too but since that’s not real fun I’m not going to mention it!

This is a card I received at convention.  It’s hard to tell from the picture but both the section with the butterflies and the striped section flip up.  Isn’t that a unique design?   I’ll have to try that some time.

The colors Hello Honey and Blackberry Bliss go so well together.  I really like how when Stampin’ Up! introduces In-Colors every year that they coordinate so well together and with the other colors.  It makes it so much easier to design a card!  🙂

The Kinda Eclectic stamp set is definitely one that keeps growing on me.  I was glad when I found out that we’d be getting it at convention.  When I first saw it in the new catalog I knew it wasn’t one I’d be purchasing right away but I’ve so many cute cards with it now.  I’m glad I have it!

It’s a bit chilly this morning but I better go for my walk before I put it off completely!  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Wow!  We definitely had a good time at convention….Well, we always do!  It’s always a blast spending time with friends, old and new.  We get to see new product, learn new techniques and new ways to run our businesses.  I look forward to it every year.

This is one of the make-and-take projects we made at convention.  Definitely not a design I’d come up with but I love this card.  I’m sure we’ll be making it in class sometime or at least something similar to it.

The stamp set is the new Kinda Eclectic set from the new catalog.  I love how the background was made.   We just inked up one side of the Honeycomb Embossing Folder and pressed it on the paper.  Too fun!  I love learning new stuff!

Speaking of learning new stuff….here is my very first selfie!  I took this on our very first day in Salt Lake City.  We were having a little happy hour in our hotel room.  In the picture you see Jan, myself, Janet and my roomie Laura.  I think it turned out pretty good!  🙂

Well, it’s back to reality.  Time to clean, do laundry and of course, play with my new stamps!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
