Welcome to the first Designer's Showcase Blog Hop!
What is the Designer’s Showcase? We are a team of ten Journey Coaches from all over the country. Fun Stampers Journey hand selected this group of coaches based on hand stamped submissions that we all sent in. Our goal is to showcase the amazing products that Fun Stampers Journey has to offer and inspire you to create.
If you want to follow along in the blog hop you will find a link below to go on to the next Coach’s blog or facebook page. And at each stop you will find a link to the next, so you can see all of our creations and get to know the 2017-2018 Designer’s Showcase team.
Let me tell you a little bit about me, my name is Carrie Rhoades and I have been a Fun Stampers Journey Coach since June 2017. I am new to this company, but have been a stamping business owner for over 18 years. It was the wide variety of paper crafting products that brought me to Fun Stampers Journey. I am also a military wife and mother of two girls, ages 12 and 9. My girls and I homeschool and are part of a weekly Co-Op school. I am so blessed to have a job doing what I love and being able to be home with my girls. What brings me joy in paper crafting is that I do not have to be an artist to be creative. And what I love about being a Journey Coach, the friendships that I have with my team and fellow coaches.
The theme for this month's blog hop is Mixed Media. I choose to showcase the PanPastels for my creation.
I used the Party Pop PanPastel set to make the background on this card.
I thought it would be easier explained to you in a video. Here is the HOW TO video on this card, a technique I call Layered Poppin' PanPastels.
That background is so cool and was so much fun to bring to life. The possibilities are endless with this technique.
Here are all the products I used to make this card. Click on any image to view it in my online store.
Thank you Nikki! It is fun, I really want to try it for a Christmas card next.
