Pineapples & Banners for You

Are you a Stampin' Up! demonstrator?  Then you saw these fab projects in your inbox this morning.

I made these projects for your viewing and crafting pleasure.

To break down each project set I do, I'm supposed to create a project for the avid, casual, and new stamper.  So smart!  So no matter where you are on the crafting spectrum, you can create these items.

  This tag is for the New Stamper.  Nothing on this tag is extra fancy except the outlining on the banner.  And by fancy, I mean, super easy.  Literally draw an outline around the banner to make your words pop.

  This watercolored card is for the Casual Stamper.  I used an aqua painter, of course, and the Banners for You Photopolymer Bundle for the rest of the card.  When you buy the Framelits and stamp set together, you save 10%.  Sweet!

  This treat bag is for the Avid Stamper.  This project isn't as difficult as it looks.  Stamp your pineapple leaves on Whisper White cardstock a few times and then cut out the different "levels" to make them pop.  I used a bone folder to help curve up the tips.  The pineapple is gorgeous, isn't it?  To get this look, I inked the pineapple in Crushed Curry and then stamped it directly onto watercolor paper.  Because the paper is so uneven, the ink won't apply evenly (this is exactly what you want to happen.)  Before the ink dries, I used my aqua painter (my tool of choice these days) to color in the spots I needed ink by using the ink already on the paper.  This creates different hues of the ink and I think it looks marvelous.

i made this | july '14

 

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.

Leave comments!

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 couldn't tell, I am in LOVE with watercolor paper and watercoloring everything.  I just can't stop!

 

To create my cute banner pieces, just trace along the inside of the punched images with an aqua painter and your favorite ink color.

LOVE!

I seriously cannot believe how fast this year is flying by!  My kids are out of school now.  HELP ME!!  Are you already knee deep in products from the new catalog?  My wish list is ENORMOUS!

Does this card make anyone else want to eat gelato?
Seriously??!!

I created this card with a set that I would have never EVER EVER dreamed of liking.  Flowers and garden-y stuff just aren't my style.  I must say, though, that I really like love this card.  I still feel like my style is there and this card is still "me".  I really like it and I think it might be one of the fanciest cards I've ever created.

 

And a Jane card just wouldn't be complete without some sewing and a banner.
