FSJ Leadership Recap

Last weekend I attended the first Leadership Conference for Fun Stampers Journey.  What a great time of learning, fun, food and fellowship.  Here are some highlights of the conference.

Thursday was all about creating.  Here are the three cards we created.

The little bandit moves on the slider.

Here is the next card we created using some of the neon colors from the Be Amazing Collection.

The last card we created features a new stamp set coming in July 2017!  Shhh....a sneak peak!

Friday was all about learning.  Many great breakout sessions and ideas shared with other coaches.  The highlight of Friday was the experience provided by Fun Stampers Journey, riding the High Roller.  If you know me, I am scared of heights, so I was not that thrilled to take part, but I did it.

This is a picture of me at the very top (550 ft in the air).  Facing my fear!
Now that I am back on solid ground, I am glad I did it.  Would I do it again, maybe.

Saturday was more learning and more fun.  Here are some highlights.

Richard and Dustin are going on a road trip.  This will be a great time for local coaches to connect with Richard.

Aren't these the cuties?  These are made with a new die, but the cutest part are the faces, which can be earned by having a $400 Make It Party.  Love the little piggy.

Even though we had lots of learning to do, I also got to do a fun things.  The first one was meeting up with some long time friends for lunch.

And, got to eat twice at Whalburgers.

The last place before leaving Las Vegas, was breakfast at Cracker Barrel.  My first time and I loved it.

Fun Stampers Journey is more than a stamp company.  It is a family of crafters who love to create and have fun.  Would you like to be a part of this group?  If so, we have a great offer going on right now.  You can use this certificate for $50 off your started kit, now through February 28th.

Let me know.  I would love for you to join my team!  You can email me at pinkzebrapapercreations@gmail.com   You will love it!!

Celebrate Card

Today is great day to celebrate.  Celebrate you ask?  I am celebrating the first Fun Stampers Journey leadership conference that I am on my way to today!
I can't wait to learn lots.  Come back next week for a Leadership recap!
Now, for my card.

Supplies Used:
Stamp: Cake Time
Paper: Buttercream Cardstock, Turbo Teal Cardstock,  Be Amazing Pattern Paper
Ink: Turbo Teal
Silks: Sour Lemon, Turbo Teal, Cosmic Grape
Other: Amazing Accents, Black Licorice Twine

Be Amazing Accordion Fold

Thanks for stopping by.  Today I am sharing a positive message card I created.
This card measures 3 x 4 1/4 when it is folded up, so it is a small card.

The base of Black Licorice Cardstock is scored at 3, 5 1/2 and 8.

I then placed pieces of Be Amazing Pattern Paper on each panel. 

The front sentiment piece is a belly band that goes around the whole card and keeps it secure.

The watercolor background was created putting drops of  Sour Lemon and Orange Rave silks on a piece of acetate and spraying it with water.  While it is still wet, you lay your cardstock into the mixture and press down a little bit.  Pick it up and look what amazing background you have made.  What I like the best is that every one will be different.
Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Be Amazing 
Paper: Black Licorice Cardstock, Whip Cream Cardstock, Sour Lemon Cardstock, Be Amazing Pattern Paper
Ink: Clear Pigment Ink
Silks: Sour Lemon, Orange Rave, Outrageous Pink
Other: Journey Black Embossing Powder,  Amazing Accents

Journey Blog Hoppers November Hop

Welcome to the Amazing Journey Blog Hoppers Hop!  This month's theme is Be Amazing  I'm so happy you're hoppin' along!  If you arrived from Ruth Cooper blog, you're on the right track.  If not, that's ok too!  Just continue the hop and you'll come full circle!

Now, let's get to my projects. First the card.

I used our Be Amazing color, Outrageous Pink for the base of the card.  I then cut a layer of Be Amazing Pattern Paper for the top.  I then die cut a Star-dom star from Outrageous Pink cardstock.  Next, I stamped the sentiment, Be Awesome Today, from the So Pretty stamp set with Black Licorice ink on Whip Cream Cardstock.  I then splattered Turbo Teal silk over the tag, punched a star hole into the tag and tied the tag to the card with Black Licorice Twine.

To finish the card, I added some Tinsel Trim to the bow for the tag and added some Sparkle Dots to the stars on the card.

Now for the project.

I created this "gift bag" with one piece of 8 1/2 x 11 piece of Turbo Teal Cardstock.  I added a strip of stars die cut from Outrageous Pink Cardstock and added them to the top of the bag.

Here is a close up of the tag.

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you are inspired by my creations.  Please don't forget to click the Next button to continue on the hop with Heather Flaherty's blog.
