SU Convention 2012 Swaps

I've been so busy finishing up the end of my school year and making swaps for the Stampin' Up! Convention next month, I'm behind on my postings again!!! Here are two cards I'm very proud of as my own original designs. I can't wait to see how they are received at Convention!

This card uses all new product from the new catalog that was released on June 1st. I can't believe how long my wish list is growing! There are many cool, new items to try out.

This card was made with Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Be of Good Cheer DSP: Stamp Set - Wacky Wishes (hostess set) heat embossed in Black Embossing Powder, Versamark ink, Cheerful Christmas Stampin' Around Wheel in Cherry Cobbler ink, Scallop Squares Duo Bigz Die (using the Big Shot),

2-1/2" Circle Punch, Gumball Green 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon and topped off with Rhinestone Jewels.

This card is very similar in design but what a difference in looks! I started with Whisper White cardstock base, Whisper White, Island Indigo and Daffodil Delight cardstock, Summer Smooches DSP, For the Birds stamp set, Scallop Squares Duo Bigz Die and Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder on the Big Shot, 2-1/2" Circle Punch, Black Stazon Ink, Stampin' Write markers in Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizazz, Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise, Island Indigo and River Rock; Real Red Brights Designer Button, Island Indigo Baker's Twine, Real Red 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon and a sponged edge on the circle with Daffodil Delight ink.

Thanks for taking a look!
