So, I want to share with you this cool sign I made for my downline to easily spot me at the upcoming Stampin' Up! convention being held next week in Salt Lake City, UT.

The theme for this year's convention is "GROW", so the flower there is perfect. Here's an even closer look...
I wish you could see this flower in real life. It is so cool! Made with cardstock, although looks and feels more like suede. Thus the "Faux Suede" technique. Here's how it's done:
Start with punching or die cutting your cardstock. I used the three flowers from the Bigz Fun Flowers Die (item #121812) shown here.
Run each of your shapes through your crimper (item #101618) at least 15 times. This will help to break up the fibers of the cardstock and you'll notice the front and back sides of the cardstock start to separate. Next, carefully pull the back and front layers appart. Wad each of the pieces up and open them back up. Layer the pieces on top of the other from large to small. Poke a whole in the center, using a paper piercer and foam mat and add your brad of choice. Shape as needed.
The letters are very glittery and oh so pretty! Again, I wish you can see it in real life.

If you're one of the fortunate demonstrators who will be at convention, you will get a chance to see it and you'll see what I'm talking about. And, if you will be there, be sure to stop by and say, "Hi!".
