Hi and welcome to my blog.  I'm a new Stampin' Up! demonstrator and I just held my firstopen house / workshop.  I had 15 attend and I found out what it's like to be on the other side of the demonstrator/customer fence. These demonstrators work hard but it's so much fun!
Below are the make-n-takes from my workshop and a variation on the second project by adding a little Riding Hood Red ink to the mix. Wish me luck and I'm looking for a new group of stampers to have some more fun with!

We used the Square Lattice EF and the Twitterpatted DSP. The ribbon is 1/8" Marina Mist, the butterfly was stamped with the Papillon Potpourri in Pink Pirouette Classic Ink. The sentiment is from Just Believe and the punches are Word Window and Modern Label.  All supplies from Stampin' Up!

My second project was made with the Open Sea set and below are the two examples I made. The first was the one made at the workshop, the second a different variation with the Riding Hood Red ink added.
 On the first ship card we used the Open Sea set, the new Framelits set Apothecary Accents, Night of Navy, Soft Suede inks for swirling and sponging. The images were stamped with Early Expresso and it was finished off with versamark ink and Gold embossing powder.  Crumb cake 3/8" tafetta ribbon and Designer Ribbon Slides from the new Holiday catalog.  The second card I used the same Framelits set but did the focal window with the smaller dies.  The colors used are the same with the addition of the Riding Hood Red and Linen Thread instead of using the ribbon.  Very Vanilla, Early Expresso and Night of Navy cardstock was used on both.

Thanks for looking and come back again for a visit.
