Swaps for Spring Fling - Faux Silk

These are another bunch of cards I made for Spring Fling. These also feature Tempting Turquoise. The flowers are from the Hostess Level 1 set "Because I Care"
(102118). And the sentiment is from the SaleABration set "Bliss" (123217 - Clear). Remember that the only way to get the SaleABration items are to earn them! You may choose one SaleABration set for free with every $50 purchase (prior to tax and shipping) If you are intersted, don't delay, they will only be available through March 31st! I added a 1/4" basic Black grosgrain ribbon. Then the sentiment is punched out with the oval punch (119855)and matted on the Scallop Oval (119856). The technique is called Faux Silk. You stamp your image on tissue paper, and then crumple it. Then you adhere to your cardstock with the Anywhere (104045) glue stick.

Items for a Craft Fair - Circle Circus Notebook.

I have been, and will continue to be working on items for upcoming craft fairs. Recently I tried my hand at altering notebooks. This one is one of those small notebooks, I think they are like 3 inches by 5 inches or something like that. This is actually the second notebook I made, the first one will be shown on my other blog later this month. I ran my Old Olive piece with my Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder through my BigShot. Then I stamped different circles from Stampin' Up's Circle Circus stamp pad in Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, and Old Olive classic inks. I added some Rich Razzleberry scallops which I used my Scallops Border punch on. Then I used some of my ribbons (some retired) to tie on the spiral. The sentiment is from "Apple Blossoms" which is a hostess set in the new Stampin' Up 2010-2011 Idea book and Catalog.
This one didn't make it to the craft fair though. I was showing the ladies at my Card Club and one of them bought this one, and one other, which I unfortunately didn't snap a picture of on my regular camera, only my cell phone. I'll have to see if I can upload it later.
Stay tuned for more books, book marks and hopefully more exciting things!
