Stampin’ Up! engagement – A Stamping Journey

It’s been a busy few months with Sale-A-Bration. First of all, Thank you to all my customers for your support and patronage AND to the wonderful new people who have joined my team. I had 4 new people join the JEN’s INK team over Sale-A-Bration. They know a bargain when they see one. Welcome to them all. I love my team whether they are hobby demos loving the discount or striving to build up their business. BUT, Thank you to you all for visiting my blog. I would love to talk to you in person and love to say Hello. I love talking to people about cardmaking and sharing ideas. It’s always so exciting. We can all learn from each other. Thanks for stopping by in your busy day. Don’t be scared to leave a comment now and then. 🙂

Now we move on from Sale-A-Bration and from Easter. This past week I have been making my swaps for Onstage this coming weekend. This is such a fun event for Demonstrators held in locations all over the world. It’s too early for sharing my swaps yet but stay tuned in the next week and I can share them.

Today’s card I realised I hadn’t shared with you yet. I made this for my niece who recently got engaged in January. When I went to check on the photo to share with you today I realised it’s not the best photo. BUT I have already sent it so I hope it gives you an idea. This is with her favourite Stampin’ Up! colour Island Indigo.

A Whisper White card mat is embossed with the Scattered Sequins Embossing Folder. A piece of Island Indigo was cut with the Detailed Floral Thinlits and adhered directly to the white card. I left a section on the left of the Island Indigo card to allow for the sentiment and the ribbon. The sentiment is from Vertical Greetings which fitted well in the space. I thought I had added some Rhinestones or Pearls to the sentiment but obviously after the photo was taken. 😉 Some of that gorgeous White Organza Ribbon was wrapped around the card mat before adhering to the Island Indigo base. It was a very quick card and time was limited but I can report she LOVED it. So that’s all that matters.

Thanks for stopping by today. I will be back with more creating very soon,

I was asked by a friend to make a Funky Engagement card. Mmmm?? My first thought was Lemon Lime Twist. That is a funky colour. What else though??

As I thought about it I though the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits or the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits might work. I did a little searching on Pinterest and found an idea there. I changed a few things around and … Well I think the result was funky enough. My friend was very pleased with it anyway so that is what counts.

I cut the wavy lines from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits from the the White card and used both the waves and the outside white pieces. Behind it I adhered a piece of the Eastern Palace Specialty DSP. Some of the cool Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon was wrapped around the white card before adhering it to the Lemon Lime Twist card mat and then to the Dapper Denim card base.

The heart is cut from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits in Lemon Lime Twist and the “congrats” from Dapper Denim. I couldn’t help myself. I had to add a Rhinestone. 🙂

So you can make a funky engagement.

Thanks for visiting,
