Congrats!

A few fellow demonstrators have recently been promoted to Senior Associate.  I want to say Congratulations! and Keep Dreaming! to them as they move towards even higher goals. 

Being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is rewarding and especially fun.  There are so many benefits to being a demonstrator... if you are interested in more information, please visit this page. 

My first Kreation for today's post was made for my "virtual friend" Kim (Kim's Korner).  Although, I have never met Kim in real life, I feel as though I know her through our blogs and e-mail's.  

Please stop by her blog and leave her a comment congratulating her the title of Senior Associate.  

I used Baja Breeze for the base, Pink Pirouette for the bottom scalloped panel, and a piece of Holiday Happenings DSP on top.  The stamps used are from the "Dreams du Jour" collection. 

My second Kreation for today's post was made to honor another fellow demonstrator, named Erica.  I wish her the best in pursuing her career with Stampin' Up!

I made the second card using the SCS color challenge (CC175).  

I started this card with a base of Wild Wasabi, on top of that layered a piece of So Saffron card stock.  The So Saffron took a ride through the Cuttlebug in the Swiss Dots embossing folder. 

Under the embossed layer is a piece of "Spring Fling" Designer Series Paper that got the scallop edge treatment.  The scallop punch will be released with the new Fall/Winter Idea Book & Catalog on August 11th. 

I tried a new ribbon tying technique, using a bit of So Saffron narrow grosgrain ribbon.  You too can "tie" a ribbon like this - just visit the My Paper Creations blog for a tutorial.  Super easy and a pretty end result. 

The flower stamp from the "Seasonal Icons" collection was inked in Almost Amethyst and punched out using a 1" circle punch.  The images were then mounted to a 1 1/4" circle and finally to a half scallop in Wild Wasabi.  The final touch is a sentiment from the Holiday Happenings Rub-on collection (Upcoming Hostess Level III set). 

Thanks for Buzzing By!
