On Stage, Here We Come!!!

Just a quick post today because I'm heading to Atlantic City today for our Local event is tomorrow. I'll be posting pictures on my Facebook page, cyndyscreativecorner, so look for all that's happening!  In the meantime, a demonstrator who is at the Live event in Auckland, New Zealand posted a picture of the cover of our new annual catalog. It looks amazing!

Have a wonderful weekend and stay tuned!

New Catalog Swaps - Part 4

Hi! Hope you had a great weekend. I got a chance to finally get some badly needed weeding done. The heat wave finally broke and the temperatures, at least in the morning, are something I can tolerate to work outdoors. During my "rest" periods I'm designing my Christmas in July cards and trying to come up with a stamp class to go! This will be my first! Wish me luck!

Well today's post will be my last from my new catalog swaps. I hope you've been enjoying them. It's always great to see what others come up with using the new stamps. All the products used on these cards you'll be able to find in my STORE. I'll also have a link below. AND when shopping, don't forget to use this month's VIP Host Code 9MD4MGKV.

New Catalog Swaps - Part 3

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! I'm posting this from vacation and had a great weekend! We went to a neighborhood picnic and got to meet some new neighbors and spent Sunday on our sandbar. The weather is really HOT but just laying around in the water you don't even notice!

New Catalog Swaps - Part 2

So are you ready for more of the new catalog? I hope so because there's still much more to come! There are so many great ideas here and many are easy to duplicate, either just as they are or use it as a template and change out the stamps, ink, and papers! You'll be able to find all the products used on these cards in my STORE. I'll have another link below as well, so don't fret. Since there are so many different products being used I'm just listing the recipes below each card. Enjoy the samples!

I just have to comment on this first card. Something so simple but I rarely do is to stamp on the DSP (Designer Series Paper), gives it such a different look.
Made By Dorene Decibus
Stamps: Love What You Do
Paper: Crumb Cake, Blackberry Bliss, Share What You Love Designer Series Specialty Paper
Ink: Old Olive, Blackberry Bliss
Accessories: Nature's Twine, Crumb Cake Classic Weave Ribbon, True Gentleman Buttons, Layering Ovals Framelits, stitched Shape Framelits, Big Shot, glue dots, dimensionals

Ok, another comment! I love how this pops on the Crumb Cake card stock. Gayle heat embossed the flowers with white embossing powder, then colored them in, stunning!
Made By Gayle Bassett
Stamps: Varied Vases
Paper: Gorgeous Grape, Crumb Cake, Whisper White
Ink: VersaMark, Gorgeous Grape, Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay, Markers:Gorgeous Grape, Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay, Berry Burst, White Embossing Powder, Embossing Buddy, Heat Tool, Vases Builder Punch, Basket Weave Dynamic Embossing Folder, Big Shot, dimensionals, Rhinestones

I should have taken a second picture of this card close up because I'm not sure you can see it (bottom right corner), but in the Stitched Labels Framelits (new), one of the pieces does a stitching in a pattern. It doesn't cut out the piece, just does the stitching, a very cool look!
Made By Debbie Van Gieson
Stamps: Abstract Impressions
Paper: Balmy Blue, Pacific Point, So Saffron, Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper
Ink: Shaded Spruce
Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Springtime Impressions Thinlits, Stitched Labels Framelits, Call Me Clover 1/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Pearls, Big Shot

Here's another that needed a close up but didn't know at the time of photography! The background is embossed with the Petal Burst Embossing Folder.
Made By Tina Rosenkrans
Stamps: Varied Vases
Paper: Very Vanilla, Basic Black, So Saffron, Grapefruit Grove, Shimmery White, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive
Ink: Memento, So Saffron, Grapefruit Grove
Accessories: Grapefruit Twine, Aqua Painters, Vase Punch, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Circles, Petal Burst Embossing Folder, Big Shot, dimensionals

Here is that stitching again, this time in the upper right hand corner. To achieve that stitched looked I used the new Embossing Mats. I also did the wash on the focal piece first and then die cut it. Really love this new bundle!

Made By Me

Stamps: Stitched All Around Bundle

New Catalog Swaps!!!

I have SO MANY swaps from the new catalog to share with you! I organized a swap in May. As demonstrators we get to order from the new annual catalog before it goes LIVE! We couldn't order everything but were able to order many different stamps, bundles, accessories, etc. For those who attended On Stage, they were able to order other stamps, bundles, etc. that wasn't part of the pre-order, plus they received at least 3 stamp sets just for attending the event! How cool is that! If you'd like more info on joining my team, you can contact me, or check out the tab, Join My Team. 

Anyway, back to all these swaps! We had 3 groups. The third group had only 6 people in it so I'm going to share all of these today. The other groups, I'm going to split up, because it's just going to make the post too long!
