Hey there! A few weeks ago Stampin' Up! hosted an event for demonstrators called "Creativity Now". It was a stamping-only online event. Demonstrators were able to pre-order a suite of products, Splendid Day, to "stamp-along" with the presenters during the four hour event. A few of my registered team members gathered at my house to stamp-along with me and we had so much fun! I know many other demonstrators have already shared the projects, but I decided to share mine too just in case you missed the rest!

This first card was a fun and easy technique, creating a "watercolor" background with Light and Dark Pool Party and Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends! We stamped the bees in Pool Party and Fresh Freesia directly on the "watercolor", then added it to a piece of the beautiful Splendid Day Designer Paper that had been adhered to the Soft Sea Foam card base. Soft Sea Foam die cuts, from the Splendid Stems Dies, were tucked behind the greeting banner stamped with Fresh Freesia ink.  A few inches of Soft Sea Foam 3/8" Seam Binding Ribbon were folded in half to leave the ends peeking out from behind the greeting banner as well. This card will make a perfect wedding card!

We created this background with Calypso Coral card stock, embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder, then added white craft ink with a Blending Brush. We stamped some foliage on Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink card stock with black ink, cut them out with Splendid Stems dies in addition to Basic White card stock with some of the same dies. I cut the designer paper with another Splendid Stems die and adhered to the card front with dimensionals. I then adhered the die cuts with liquid glue and glue dots. You could also use Adhesive Sheets to adhere. I wrapped the ribbon around the Calypso Coral layer to tie in a bow. I adhered the whole layer to the Basic White Thick card base with dimensionals. I stamped the greeting with black ink and hand-cut to add to the front of the designer paper "flower pot".

For this card we created our own background paper by heat embossing with white powder the irregular "dots" with white powder. We cut three of the same die cut from three different designs of the Splendid Day Specialty paper, then added with tiny dots of liquid glue. I decided to leave this card with no greeting so I could use it for any occasion!

For this final card we stamped the leaves on the Petal Pink card base with Petal Pink ink, then layered with the die-cut pieces, the die-cut greeting, and ribbon.
