Were you lucky enough to see these samples I made IN PERSON??  Some of the samples were hard to find, ie, they were not actually AT Convention but at the Home Office.  Never fear, I'll be posting everything I created (yep, me, I actually made these, with my own hands - just in case you were wondering) so you can see them up close and personal without having to look around someone's giant poofy hair.

I hope you enjoy my samples.

 

Is your dog this rad?

Why?

Because I love them.
And you.
Thanks for looking!

There were 29 Display Stampers this year so the easiest way to see all of our projects (you know, so you know who made what awesome project) is to go to our board in Pinterest.  Come follow us!

Now you can feel like you were at Convention!  Well, at least you can pretend you saw all the inspiration boards.  Honestly, I didn't even see all the projects that are on the Pinterest board.  The projects must have been hidden somewhere.

If you haven't jumped on the bandwagon, what are you waiting for??!!

Another card using the PL accessories.  You can do it it too.  Eeeeeeasy.

To get colored rhinestones you can color them with Blendabillities or Sharpes.  I needed a "pinker" color than the Razzleberry Blendabilities so I used my Sharpe.

I'm pretty sure these are two lovebirds.

Can you tell how much they love each other?

 

Is there such a thing as too many dimensionals?

No.

  

I love this bird.

Like, really really love him.

Did you see my project on Stampin' Up's facebook page?  If you did, here is a more expanded version of that post.

Oh, Blendabilities...  Were you as excited/scared as I was to see these in our product line?  I'll admit, I was scared out of my mind.  Real artists can paint and color.  Right?  I've never lumped myself into that group and coloring with markers scared me to death.  I will say that the best way to get over this fear (like any other) is to just jump right in.  My first attempt was scary.

 

See?

Ick.

All the lines.  No blending.  What the heck??!!

But I played around with the coloring (and watched a few YouTube videos) and figured out how to color properly with alcohol-based markers.

The best tip I can give is when color with Blendabilities, to only color 1 section at a time.  For this project, I colored 1 petal at a time.  I started with the lightest color and colored the entire petal.  Then I traced the edges I wanted darker with the medium color.  Then I blended with the lightest color.  After that, use the darkest color where you want and blend with the lightest color again.
Try it.
You'll get it.
And yes, your paper will be soaked through to the back.  But it dries so you'll be fine.
{this is what the back of my Coastal Cabana flower looks like}
See?  It all works out in the end.
 
Did you notice that I even colored my banner pieces?

Yep.

I did.
