Handsomely Suited for Paper Players 554

 This is the first time I've been in my craft room for well over a week, so I started with a CAS challenge at The Paper Players to try to get into the groove.



The floating strip technique seems to be all over the internet at the moment. Understandably so as it's both easy and impressive. I created the floating panel of strips from the Neutrals DSP stack, cut 5cm x 1.5cm, using Smoky Slate papers.


The tie was stamped in Night of Navy onto Basic White, then coloured with Night of Navy Stampin' Blends. The sentiment was white embossed onto Night of Navy and cut with one of the dies from Tasteful Labels.


If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, I'd love to be yours. I can help you with ideas, get you catalogues and provide you with Stampin' Up products. You can leave a message in the comments or contact me using any of the methods listed in the Contact Me tab at the top of the page. You can shop with me from anywhere in New Zealand by clicking on the SHOP NOW button in the sidebar or clicking on any of products below.

Update: Delighted to be a Cut Above at The Paper Players.
