Making a card shouldn't always be complicated! Actually, I would say that my cards are usually the sweet & simple type, but that one goes beyond. In fact, I was just playing around with this paper (Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper) and I found a couple of scraps, left over from previous projects. I prepared a card base (I used Crushed Curry), stamped a sentiment form the coordinating stamp set (Emerald Envy), I punched it and added everything to the card. The more "advanced" part is the little bear that I added on top. I coloured him lightly with the AquaPainter (Sahara Sand) and fussy cut around the lines. I adhered all the pieces at an angle, making a cluster around the sentiment, and voila! I didn't even have to measure anything, and I just picked the colours that were featured on the DSP, so no guesswork there either. Coordinating products makes crafting SO easy, don't you think? What creative ways have you found to use leftovers on a project? I...

Do you ever look at the catalogue and think: "I love everything!" Well, so do I. Of course, we have to make choices and can't everything. The closest thing you can do to "have everything", is to participate in swaps. Demonstrators often participate in swaps, and OnStage is a great occasion to participate, as we meet hundreds of other demonstrators.   A swap is when each person will use make a card in multiple copies, then swap with other demonstrators, so that you end up with a stack of cards in all sorts of designs, colours, and techniques. Because everyone used different products, you get to have cards using products that you don't have. For last month's OnStage, I chose to use the InColors that were returning and the coordinating Designer Series Paper (this one retiring at the end of the month). I love the Crafting Forever stamp set, the sentiments are very fun and I played on the "cut out" phrase by adding a diagonal cut through the D...

On November 8, I attended OnStage in Red Deer. OnStage is a bi-yearly gathering for demonstrators only, where we get to see new catalogues, play with and purchase some of the new products, as well as receive training, inspiring presentations, and get the latest news on our business. Imagine being in a room with hundreds of people who LOVE the same thing you do! The energy is quite vibrant!   Le 8 novembre dernier, j'ai assisté à OnStage à Red Deer. Il s'agit d'une conférence bi-annuel pour démonstratrices seulement, où on peut voir les nouveaux catalogues, découvrir et bricoler avec des nouveaux produits et aussi commander avant tout le monde. Nous recevons aussi des formations et présentations très inspirantes, et les dernières nouvelles de notre compagnie. Imaginez être dans une pièce avec des centaines de personnes qui trippent sur la même chose que vous! C'est électrisant!

Une carte de fête super festive, ça vous dit? Le papier design Picture Perfect Party est vraiment parfait pour des projets pleins de vie et qui ont du punch en quelques minutes seulement.  J'adore les couleurs très vives (voir même un peu criardes) de cette carte. Les éléments qui les entourent restent très simples pour leur laisser toute la place, justement.  What do you think of a super festive birthday card? The Picture Perfect Party is really perfect for projects that are full of life and punch, and only take 2 minutes to make. I love the very bold (almost screaming) colours of this card. The other elements are kept simple to leave all the focus on the colours.  J'ai utilisé les couleurs qui se trouvaient déjà dans la papier pour lier le tout; j'ai découpé différentes tailles de rectangles; j'en ai passé un à la BigShot avec le plioir pour ajouter de la texture; et je les ai collés de manière décallée en angle. J'ai ajouté un morceau de ruba...
