Iron Stampers 5 minute card

As promised, here is one of the 4 reveals of the Iron Stampers project. Today I'll show you the quick and simple 5 minute handmade card. This card was made with the Elements of Style stampset. I decided to post this card first because it's the first day of spring today! Happy Spring!

How Iron Stampers works is that my upline gives 3 people a pack of pre-selected Stampin' Up! paper along with a pack of various embellishments. Our task is to try to use all the supplies given on every one of the 4 Iron Stampers project. This includes a 5 minute quick and simple card, a WOW card, a scrapbook page, and a 3D or altered item. Each player is given 2 months to complete these projects and we display them at our bi-monthly Stampin' Up! demonstrator exclusive meeting in Vancouver.
At the end of the meeting, a winner amongst the three players is announced based on votes.

And the results??!! I'll let you know when I'm done posting the projects. Stay tuned!

Iron Stampers Project

I mentioned in my yesterday post about Iron Stampers Project. I'm so excited about it that I have to give you a little teaser of what I crafted.

This is one of the 4 projects that I had to handmake. The other projects are one scrapbook page, one quick and simple card, and one WOW card. The Iron Stampers is a bi-monthly challenge that 3 Vancouver demonstrators are randomly invited to participate.

I will reveal the rest of this project after next Monday evening.

Rue Des Fleurs for you too

I've been so busy this last week making a client's wedding invitation that I didn't get a chance to update my blog. This is a card I handmade last week using the elegant Rue Des Fleurs Stampset and the Labels Collection Big Shot Edgelits from the Occasions Mini catalogue. We will be making this card along with another at this month's stamp technique club!

Remember I can always take new club members as well as drop in members! If you're in Vancouver or nearby, you'll want to join me! This month we will be meeting on

This card was cased from a card swap at this year's Stampin' Up! Leadership Convention. There was no name attached to the card but I give full credits to the designer.

Besides completing wedding invitations all week. I've also been busy making the "Ironstampers" projects that I was invited to participate in. These are projects to be revealed at my upline's next fun bi-monthly demonstrator meeting in Vancouver. I'm required to make one simple card, one WOW card, one scrapbook page and one altered item. I can't reveal these projects until after Monday, March 19. Can't wait to show you what I've crafted!

Quick and Easy Card

Last night I had a great evening of crafting with other fellow demonstrators at an exclusive monthly demostrator only crafting night. This is the evening where I get to plan and handmake my card classes for the next month, or simply just have a stress-free creative evening.

One card I made was a sample for the new Quick and Simple stamp club. This card was handmade with the Forever Young stampset. I really love how you can transform a timeless stampset and bring to life a quick and simple 5 minute card.

Weddings in Vancouver

One thing I don't mention much about as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is that I also take orders for customized wedding invitations.

I have distraught clients coming up to me stating they have a hard time finding customized wedding invitations in Vancouver. Of course, I was always able to help them consult and design their invitations to what they have in mind.

This week I am assembling about 250 wedding invites. The picture on the right is a quick peek at step 1 of this week's order of wedding invitations I'm putting together.

If you're looking for customized wedding invitations or know someone who needs them, contact me for details.
