I took hundreds of photos while I was at Leadership. Since I can't post them all on my blog I put them into a video so they would be easier to view. The video moves through the photos fairly quick so if you spot a card you like and want to look longer, just pause the video. Music would have been nice but that's way beyond my technical skills. Sorry

I made this card with some of the products from the Twitterpated Suite in the 1012 Occasions mini. The flower is a CASE from the Sale-a-bration catty and the hat pins are one of Stampin' Ups newest embellishments. If you're not a Stampin' Up demonstrator you'll have to wait until January to see all the new products but I'm sure you'll love them as much as I do.
**Tip** To attach a fabric flower like this one, punch a small circle from card stock and stitch the flower to it or use a brad to attach the flower to the circle then you can glue the card stock circle to the card without it showing on the inside of your card.
Here's a video tutorial to make the fabric flower

Here’s one more gift card holder in time for Graduation. I used one of Stampin’ Up’s small open end envelopes (6 ¾” x 2 ½”). You can buy cheap envelopes in this size but since the envelope is the base of your gift card holder go for quality. Score the bottom of your envelope at 2”, fold and punch the bottom edge with the scallop border punch to hold your gift card. Cut a 4 ¼” x 3” mat for the card insert and a piece of White 4” x 2 ¾”. I used the Round Tab punch for the tab.
The cap is 3 ½” square. Here's a video on how to make the tassel. I used crochet cotton for this one but I prefer the new baker’s twine for the tassels. It hangs so much nicer.

I used a wet sponging technique to make this seaside card. It’s for the Creative Crew Challenge on SCS. The shells and fish are made with the Build a Blossom punch and stamp set. The sentiment is from You’re a Gem.The clam shell embellishment opens to reveal a pearl inside. For more details scroll down to the bottom of the post to see the video tutorial.

Here's a short video showing how to make 3D card stock embellishments using your big shot dies. It works well with butterflies, snowflakes, stars or any die with intricate pieces that you don't want to line up and glue.
