Using up the leftovers

Every now & again I have a little tidy up in my little room and then bits & pieces from previous make & takes make there way to the top of the pile & this is how this card came about. A few weeks ago I was experimenting with my Pocket Silhouettes set & had made up the scalloped embellishments using Pretty in Pink Ink & cardstock, Melon Mambo Ink & Cardstock & Rich Razzleberry Ink & cardstock. So all that was left for me to do was mount them & make them into a card.

The base of the card is Melon Mambo & the strips of Rich Razzleberry were stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink using the So swirly wheel.

Samples for my new Demonstrator

When a new demonstrator joins my team I try to help them as much as i can to get started on their Stampin' Up journey so I like to make them a pack of samples to start their sample boards off for their first event. So today I have been making samples to give to Lydia my newest recruit who has her first event next week, sadly I will be away at a family wedding but I wish her the very best of luck & I will be on my mobile if she has any last minute enquiries.

So here are some of the samples I have made for Lydia

Changing

Changing :
to substitute another or others for; exchange for something else, usually of the same kind.

So I thought I would have a go at making pairs of cards, with a simple change to highlight another way to make the most of your stash.

Colour palette



Its amazing how by changing one simple thing like colourway, card orientation or embellishment you can completely change how your project looks
