A Collection of Favourites

Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog & thank you for visiting! If you are new here my name is Carolynn and I am a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from Calgary, Alberta, Canada! I have loved papercrafts for pretty much my entire life! Blogging is something I have now also grown to love. I have met so many wonderful crafters from around the world via this online outlet! For that I am super grateful! Today's post is a collection of some of my favourite projects that I have shared in the past few months. The reason I have gathered them here today, all in one post, is I am applying to be a display stamper at the Stampin' Up! Onstage event that will be in Utah come November of this year! Here's to hoping! I have been a display stamper for the Canadian Business Leadership conference last January. Other than that, I have never display stamped for an event as large as Onstage! Fingers crossed! I get so excited for this kinda thing. I'm like a kid in a candy shop when it comes to anything and everything Stampin' Up! So let's get to it!

This first project is my scrapbook page submission. You can view the full post by clicking HERE. This page came together quite easily with my Stampin' Up! Colorful Seasons Bundle! Of course the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack, and the Color Theory Card Pack were perfect for this fall layout as well! The way in which these products coordinate is amazing! Thank you Stampin' Up! for making the memory keeping process so effortless with these awesome products!

Next up are two of my favourite 3D projects that I have created. The Cool Treats Bundle, as well as the Envelope Punch board from Stampin' Up! made creating these yummy gift card holders a breeze! You can view my original post as well as a full tutorial on how to create these adorable matchbox gift card holders HERE. 

Moving on to the Christmas in July theme, I fancied up these Christmas treats, & assembled these gift card sized envelopes using some of my most beloved Stampin' Up! products! Check out the full supply list in my original post HERE. The Lemon Lime Twist &Tranquil Tide colour combo make these little Hershey chocolate nuggets worth their weight in gold!

Lastly, here are the three cards I have chosen for submission. Choosing three favourites was a tricky task, but here they are...

This first one was from a very recent post that I shared. You can see the full post HERE! I created a coordinating 3D item that goes along with this one! The Magical Mermaid stamp set is pretty much my favourite set at this present moment! I am a big fan of anything mystical!

Here is another current fave! The Ribbon Of Courage stamp set & the stained glass technique combine beautifully together here. I have a full video tutorial on how to replicate this technique in my original blog post HERE! I hope you all enjoy it! 

Lastly, here is a card that features my favourite technique! I truly am in love with the Bokeh look! It is stunning in photography, as well as in other forms of art, like cardmaking! You can view the original post for this card HERE! As well, I will have another Bokeh card to share with you next Thursday July 13th! Make sure come back for a repeat visit to check it out!  

Well that is it for today! Thank you so much for visiting! Fingers, toes, and everything crossed for me! There are so so many talented stampers out there! It is truly an honour when one is chosen for this work. If you want to call it work! Ha ha ha! I like to call it a paper crafter's dream come true! 

Cheers & Happy Stamping!
