SUDSOL Blog Tour

I love SUDSOL. It is a community of demonstrators that share creative projects and business information so you can get the most out of your business. Thanks to this group for sharing their ideas! Here are some of the things I have learned from them and twisted for my card designs.

Don't you just love the coordination of Stampin' Up! products... For this blog tour I used the Delicate Doily stamp set with Flirtatous Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Here's a card with no stamping. Basically, it is Flirtatous DSP, button, and hemp. I love the pumpkin and Melon Mambo color combination.

This is a standard card using the new Lace Ribbon Border punch (122362), Whisper White and Wisteria Wonder cardstock.

This is a standard card using a layering to help bring out pop the colors of this card. Can you guess what colors are used?

This is a stair-step card using a little ribbon, the new Lace Ribbon Border punch (122362), Doirly Triple Layer punch (122465), Wisteria Wonder (122922), and Flirtatous DSP (122360). This is a gate-fold card using Melon Mambo cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Flirtatous DSP, Scallop Die (113468), Word Window punch (119857), and Modern Label punch (119849).

You have an opportunity to try SUDSOL for two weeks free. Might I suggest you try it? You will not believe all of the information available to you.

SUDSOL Blog Tour - May 17, 2011 - CHECK IT OUT!

I will be participanting!

The stamp set I choose for my SUDSOL contribution comes from mutliple demonstrator ideas via a mystery card.

Here's the story of my contribution. Periodically, I get together with a few demo friends (Julie Link, Kelly Kleven, Lisa Wellman, and Kim Glover). Whenever we get together we each bring a shoebox swaps plus someone is responsible for a mystery card.

What is a mystery card? Well, we take turns. If it is your turn to be the mystery card master you decide on the paper, ink, punches, embellishments, and stamp set to be used. You create your version of a card and keep it hidden. As each person creates their card with the material their design is hidden. Once everyone is done the mystery card master places all the samples out for voting to begin. The winner receives a prize.

Whenever I am the mystery card master I use SUDSOL pattern library or ideas from other demos from the gallery for my card.

Here's the samples.
