Here is a great guy card that I made. I designed it for a monthly swap that I'm in with some other demonstrators & I also shared it with my Iowa Inkers downline team as a shoe box swap that they all got to make at my meeting here on Saturday!
Guy cards aren't always easy to create. So when I saw this awesome new stamp set- 'Guy Greetings' in the Occasions Catalog I know that I had to have it!!
stamp set: 'Guy Greetings'
card stock: Soft Suede, Baked Brown Sugar, Very Vanilla
designer paper: Park Lane
ink: Soft Suede
other: Big Shot, Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder, Gold Metal Buttons, Burlap Ribbon (shredded it to tie into the center of the button), paper snips, dimensionals & glue dot
I was asked to do a Stampin' Up! (R) Blog Hop from a fellow friend- Dena Rekow.
You can check out her blog: The Creative Cave- http://drekow.typepad.com
I was then asked to answer the following questions-
1. What are you working on?
I stamp every day- so I'm always working on something! I started my blog alittle over 3 years ago now & I've never missed a day of posting a new project yet. We live, eat & breath stamps at our house.
I am presenting at our Stampin' Up! Leadership Event next week in Orlando, Florida- so have been adding that extra planning to my already crazy schedule. I'm presenting about KITS- so I've been writing my script, rehearsing & working on projects for my display board. I am excited about getting to go & I'm looking forward to this Stampin' Up! event. I will get to see so many of my demonstrator friends from all over the US & Canada! And I plan to come home with TONS of new ideas to share with my customers at my upcoming events.
2. How does your work differ from others in your genre?
I would say that I do have a certain style- although I'm not sure what style you'd call it. I love to layer & love dimensionals! Often people can pick out one of my cards from a pile of cards, just by looking at it & know that it is a "Susie" card. I don't copy other projects too often. I usually try to do original designs. I love stamping, creating & sharing!!
3. Why do you create what you do?
I create a project depending on what is on my calendar of upcoming events. Mostly I design cards. But I do some scrapbooking & 3D items too though.
I am getting ready to host my big Annual All Occasions Card Class in March- so have been planning that event. And then each April I do an annual Stamp Camp too. This year I'm changing up that event & it will be called- "Susie's Spring Fling"! Everyone attending will be making a few 12x12 square samplers & a couple of other projects too. I've been making the square samplers & I've had alot of customers tell me that they'd love to make them! So I am excited about adding this FUN NEW EVENT to my calendar & hope I that have a good turn out for it. Do you want to see what I'm talking about when I talk about my square samplers? Check out my winter sampler HERE!!
Be sure to check back tomorrow as I'll be posting a spring square 12x12 sampler that my Iowa Inkers team did as a swap for our meeting we had this past weekend!!
4. How does your creativity process work?
- I choose what event or what I need a project for
- I choose my stamp set
- I then choose the colors I want to use
- I then just start playing(I mean creating & stamping!)
Next Monday- January 26th, 2015- I've asked my demonstrator friends- Brenda & Lynda to join this blog hop- so be sure to check out their blogs then!! NOTE: I will also link these 2 blogs again next Monday on my blog- so that you don't forget to check them out!
