Some Favorite card samples from Leadership Conference 2011

These are a few of my favorite card swap samples that I got at Leadership Conference this year.

My favorite this year --- and the winner is.......

This beautiful card made by Susy Miller using the Nature Walk set

 

 
A  couple of very close runner ups in my book .....

Another card using the Nature Walk set - this one by Ruth Pierce

 

and this masculine card by Kristin Kortonick using the Plane and Simple Set from the Occasions Mini Catalog

I am always in need of ideas for masculine cards - so I was thrilled with this one.

There were so many awesome samples, I had a VERY HARD TIME choosing my favorites!

 

Valentine Ideas from the Occasions Mini Catalog

I have had so much fun playing with my new "toys" from the Occasions Mini Catalog. What a joy to be able to call playing with my toys - work! I LOVE MY JOB!!

here is one that I created:

This card uses the new Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, the Love Impressions DSP, our fabulous new red Glimmer paper, adn the Valentine Defined set along with the decorative label punch and the new spinner arrows.

 

Here is a quick and easy cover I created for a chocolate bar . In order to make the tiny tag card that opens, I used the decorative label punch and punched through a folded piece of cardstock - leaving the fold intact. I used the yummy new Eat Chocolate Stamp set!

 

I got some incredible swaps at Leadership that included several Valentine Cards - they were amazing. Here are a couple of my favorites -

My wonderful Roomie - Sherry Weldy created this card using the Greeting Card Kids set - notice the adorable dress cut from our Love Letter DSP!

 

Here is a beauty made by my friend, Jodi Reinert.

This card uses the Love Letters DSP with the banner only from the Be My Valentine Stamp in the Occasions mini. The banner was cut out and layered over the full heart punch that was textured using the wallpaper texture impressions folder. Notice the patchwork look achieved by layer the DSP onto a piece of cardstock and then running that cardstock through the big shot using the Top Notes Die!

 

There were so many fabulous valentines, that I have posted many others on my website www.kimpeck.com

Leadership gifts for downline

I wanted to share pictures of the gifts that I gave to my downline members that attended Leadership Conference in Nashville, TN. I had so much fun making these!!

These were the boxes. I used the boxes from our Simply Adorned line, and created tags to go on the outside of the box. The tags were created usuing our mini vintage tags, the new Vintage Flower Adornments from the Occasions Mini catalog, the stamp from Cute by the Inch Hostess set, the mini tag punch, and one of the vintage trinkes brads. I then added a tiny butterfly created using the big shot and the beautiful wings embosslet.

 

and here is the gift that was inside.

 

These bracelets were made using our Neutral Designer buttons. To answer the most popular questions that I received -

You can get two bracelets from one package of buttons. I used 0.7 mm stretchy cord to string them.

I was so excited to have 21 of my team members join me at Leadership Conference this year!!  It was awesome!
