Stampin' Up! Leadership Display Boards - Banner Blast - Oh, Baby

Hi there!!!!

I must say that Banner Blast totally caught my eye when I opened my box of supplies to create these samples for Leadership. I think I squealed when I saw the coordinating punch too! (I am SOOOO happy that Stampin' Up! plans on keeping it around.

I admit, "traditional" scrapbooking is not what I consider my strength....it gives me a little anxiety, honestly. Giving up actual photos and not being able to resize and easily fix mistakes....yipes! BUT I really love this page and I am so glad I made a duplicate!!

TIPS -* To make the large string of banners, I first lightly sketched a line in pencil, then glued the individual banners, then I went WAY outside of my comfort zone and SEWED on my page.

* I cut the title using an MDS download and my Silhouette

Stampin' Up! Leadership Display Boards - Geometrical Scrapbook Page - Jeanna Bohanon, Las Vegas, NV Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Hi there!!!!

So sometimes a project just comes together...sometimes it doesn't. Yeah - this was a doesn't. I really struggled with this page. I knew I wanted to pull some of the colors from the photos, but there wasn't a lot to work with. I didn't want it to look to child-primary-ish (lol). I wanted a pattern, but a very tone on tone one.... In the end I was ok with it...

TIPS -* I really wanted a lot of dimension in this page, so I took a cue from my very talented friend Jane Lee and used cardboard inbetween my layers.

Stampin' Up! Leadership Display Boards - Geometrical Nail File Holder - Jeanna Bohanon, Las Vegas, NV Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Hi there!!!!

Am I the only one that shops with Stampin' Up! coordination in mind? When I saw these fabulous nail files in the dollar section, the bold colors reminded me of my lovely Stampin' Up! colors back at home....plus - look at that glimmery one - isn't it delish?

I thought that they might make a fun little gift or party favor, so I fashioned a little box that would be perfect for just such an occasion!

TIPS -* UGH! I thought I had a pattern for this. I laid the 3 boards on my grid paper and traced around them to get my dimensions. You could also do a wrap or "belly band" with the same idea

Stampin' Up! Leadership Display Boards - Hooray for Today

Hi there!!!!

When I saw this Geometrical stamp set and the samples made in the Occasions Catalog, it seriously took me back. Took me back to a time of side pony-tails, bright sunglasses and recording my favorite songs from the radio on a "mix tape". The triangles and graphic nature just took me back to childhood. Do you remember those days?

Because the samples in the catalog are some pretty bold colors, I knew I wanted to go softer.

TIPS -* When stamped on our Vellum, ink tends to stay wet long enough to sprinkle Clear Embossing Powder over it. That is how I got the Hooray for Today stamp set embossed in Strawberry Slush and Basic Gray

* The triangle on triangle pattern on one of the stamp sets made it very easy to use my Paper Snips to create a smaller triangle, and I was able to use that for a template for the other small triangles that filled in the design

Stampin' Up! Leadership Display Boards - Hello, Sailor! Anchors Away

Hi there!!!!

Or should I say, "Hello, Sailor!" LOL. I think that this was the card that changed my mind about this set. As soon as the idea of having Gold, anchor-embossed vellum was in my head... it was ON!!!! I love this vellum!!!! I want MORE....

TIPS -* Layering the vellum on top of the stripped ribbon gave it even more interest!

Stampin' Up! Leadership Display Boards - Hello, Sailor!

Hi there!!!!

Or should I say, "Hello, Sailor!" LOL. Ok, ok, I will admit, when I saw this stamp set in the catalog, I did a "What the Heck?". I thought... I live in VEGAS, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me get something else to work with. Then it showed up in my box of supplies. Well, so I HAD to use it.... Can I just tell you how WRONG I was about this set? Once I started playing, I LOVED it!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!

TIPS -* I LOVE that the anchor fits inside the Sale-A-Bration banner punch!

* The Summer Starfruit ribbon was a little too wide for this card, so I cut it right up the middle.

Stampin' Up! Leadership Display Boards - You're Lovely in Chevrons

Hi there!!!!

This "I think you're Lovely" image is so fun to layer! The fact that it coordinates with our punches makes it so easy. Don't you love it when there are punches that coordinate with our images?

I thought it would be fun to come up with a little bit different way to wrap one of our chevron gift bags from Tag A Bag. I think these would make "LOVELY" favors for a shower or other party.

TIPS - If you don't want to layer the label, you can color the parts with different Stampin' Up! markers.

Instead of tying the wide ribbon into a knot, I simply tied a length of Linen Thread around the area I would have knotted, then folded the ribbon down.

Stampin' Up! Leadership Display Boards - You're Lovely, I like you, I love you

Hi there!!!!

Helllllllo Monday! So, were you happy or upset yesterday? I'm not really a football gal, but I was kind of hoping for the Broncos to win. I spent the game MDSing with some friends during our very own MDS Bowl! It was FUN.

I love the soothing nature of this monochromatic neutrals card. A combination of Very Vanilla and various browns gives it a soft and kind of vintage look.

TIPS - *The Early Espresso Taffeta bow is just a length of riboon folded back and forth a few times and tied in the middle with some twine

*To add a little extra interest, I stamped the heart and I Like You sentiments 2 times before reinking.

The whole team is posting their samples over the next few weeks. We will be adding to them as we go and you can check them all out here -
