This weekend myself and 114 other papercrafters, who are part of Michelle Lasts team of Stampin' Up! demonstrators called the Pinkies are attending the Pinkies Retreat - virtually!
I'm super excited as Michelle invited me back as a designer and this time I have created 2 make and take projects which I hope to share with you soon. Fingers crossed they do not disappoint.
You can use the hashtags #PinkiesRetreat2020 and #PinkiesTeam to see pictures shared from this event!
Today I am sharing with you the first of 3 swaps I created for this event!
I joined three swap groups, each consisting of 5 people plus myself. Each swap group had a clear brief we had to follow, there was a large choice so I decided to go with these.
- Christmas group - a Christmas card
- DSP group - a card with patterned paper as the main focus
- Any Bundle group - a card created using any bundle, typically a stamp set and a die or punch
Naturally, we had to use current Stampin' Up! products!
I made six of each card and kept one for myself.
All three style cards I created are fancy fold Christmas cards and I have filmed a tutorial for each one.
You can find the YouTube video tutorial at the end of this page.
I'll be sharing pictures of the swaps I receive on my Facebook page.
You can join my Facebook page here - just make sure you like my page so you can be notified when I post pictures of all 15 swaps, to see who has designed them and what products they've used!
Today's card is for the Christmas swap - a Double Z Fold card featuring the Peace and Joy bundle and the Tag Buffet stamp set!
I used the colours Smoky Slate, Blushing Bride and Silver for my swaps!
In my video tutorial I've used an alternative colour combo - Pretty Peacock, Pool Party and Gold
You might notice there are some subtle speckles on the Smoky Slate - I've used Frost White Shimmer Paint for this.
On my alternative version, I used Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint but the speckles are way more prominent - make sure you watch my tutorial to check it out!
My card features a lot of heat embossing, I love adding these touches, especially on Christmas cards
The sentiments I've used on the smaller panels are from the Tag Buffet stamp set.
