Independent Stampin'Up! Demonstrator!

Hey friends!
I've been a demonstrator with Stampin'Up! since 2011. I'm located in Bozeman, Montana, but have customers all over the country. I have a very fun and active downline called "Big Sky Stamper Stars" and we get together in person and online to share what we love. My blog posts feature what I'm up to recently and I try to share new product information, tips and tricks and creative inspiration. You can shop from this site or find out more information about our products and becoming a demonstrator! Thanks for stopping by!

Today's Tiles for a vintage look!

 Hi Stampin' Friends! 

I'm fresh off my weekly FB Live video and can't wait to show you the card I made tonite as well as some other samples with this bundle. The video tutorial features the "Today's Tiles" bundle which is surprisingly fun to use. It's a two-step stamping experience, best used with the Stamparatus. What I love about this set was how I could change up color schemes and sentiments and just play with it! Here are some results:


My first card uses three of the dies in this bundle and one of the sentiments. It's a fun, sunny color theme with Bumblebee and Mossy Meadow, featuring upcoming Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper!


For this card, I grabbed a piece of the "Magic of this Night" DSP for Halloween and used a generic design of Pretty Peacock which also has a tile/brocade look to it.  I used the single tile stamp and a sentiment stamp, along with some In Color Ribbon. When's the last time you used your corner rounder to round your corners? I think it's been a couple of years for me!


 I used a favorite color combination of Blackberry Bliss and Granite Gray to keep this card elegant and vintage.  My Stamparatus was invaluable for the two step stamping! I also used a die from the "Marvelous Dies" set and the "Tasteful Textile" 3D embossing folder for more texture. 


Honestly, not sure if I like this card. I think it's missing something. I used one of the dies in the bundle and cut some rectangles out of matching card stock for my "Flowers for Every Season" DSP background. It's ok, I don't just love it!


For my last card, I grabbed the "Forever Greenery" DSP and dies and tried to layer some more pieces with more dies from the "Today's Tile" bundle. Lots of layers here!

Here's a video of me making the 3rd card above. My video tutorials show you exactly how I make a card and especially the sequence I use. It does matter sometimes what order you do things in!


I'm trying to do FB Live's at least once a week and generally give several hours notice before I go Live. I'd love to have you join me. It's like a class, only shorter and you don't have to leave the comfort of your home! I welcome any questions or comments and also suggestions on future techniques or products you would like me to demonstrate!

It's awesome to share this fun hobby with you and I appreciate you stopping by to take a look. Have a great week and do some stamping!
