Although I am at Convention, I wanted to share with you a card that I made for my Upline's Upline – Lisa Pretto.
I used the Striped Scallop Thinlit to cut my scallop layer. I chose to place it sidewise and I used the Two Way Glue Pen to adhere it. Back to Black was my dsp of choice for my card. I love the combo of Daffodil delight & Black so my accent pieces are Daffodil delight.
Doesn't the 1/4" Daffodil delight Cotton Ribbon make the perfect bow for my card! The sentiment in the middle of my Pinwheel Flower is from the set Label Something. The "o" in you is binged up with some Rhinestone Basic jewels.
Be sure to check back after Convention to see the pictoral Tutorial.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Part of getting ready for Convention involves creating thank you cards for my various levels of Uplines. My immediate Upline is Mary Fish and I wanted a special card to give her at Convention.
Although my pinwheel looks complicated, it is really quite simple to make. When I return from Convention, I will do a pictoral tutorial for you.
With the current dsp special of buy 3 and get 1 free, this is a perfect opportunity to try out this technique. My paper choice today is Flowerpot. After selecting 2 different patterns, and cutting them to the right size, I layered them to get the pinwheel affect.
The center of the pinwheel was decorated with a flower created with the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch & Night of Navy Cardstock. A Candy Dot Base with a Crushed Curry Candy Dot completes my flower.
The sentiment from Fabulous Four is inked with Lost Lagoon Ink. The final touch is a few wraps of the new Crushed Curry Baker's Twine tied through a Crushed Curry Button and finished in a bow.
My card is a standard size (4-1/4" x 11" scored at 5-1/2") Tangerine Tango. The pinwheel is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
And now, a look at the Weekly Deals!

Have you ever bought a stamp set and then wondered " what did I have in mind for this set?" I bought Borderettes and it sat in the box, lonely and uninked! Tonight was the night that she would see ink!
Using each of the 2014 – 2016 In Colors, I inked a border stamp from the set. Because they are photopolymer I did not need a stamp-a-ma-jig. In my book, that is a definite plus!
To create my flowers, I used the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch to punch 3 pieces of Blackberry Bliss cardstock for each flower. Laying them out, I spritzed them with water & scrunched them up. After stacking the 3 scalloped circles together, I pierced a hole in the middle so I could add the Candy Dot Base to the stack. Of course, a pretty Candy Dot was added to the flower.
Because my color scheme is the new In Colors, I punched a few butterflies from the Moonlight dsp stack with the Bitty Butterfly punch. Rhinestone Basic jewels add the final touch.
I am counting down until Convention and of course, I am working hard so that I will have posts for your every day that I am gone. Be sure to check back tomorrow because I will begin sharing some of my Convention creations.
