It's a Card Party!

Monday night I had a Stampin'Up! Card Party at Courtney's house.  The she and her friends had fun making cards, I brought all the supplies.  Do you want to do a card party?  Contact me to set yours up!  Here are all the cards they made.

Big shout out to all the girls, Davida, Amy, Melanie, Mollie, Courtney, Erin and Amanda.  I had fun stamping with you!  
You can have a card party with me too!  It's just $10 for 4 cards, or $15 for 8 cards, I'll bring 4 different designs and everyone gets some fun crafting time!  Plus if you place a qualifying order that night you get to make your cards for free!
Contact me to have your own Private Card Party!

Everyone made 2 of each design, I had 3 samples of this one for all 3 cute sayings.  
The Scallop Tag Topper Punch is so easy to use and works so well on this, I added the corner rounder to make the tags look even cuter.  Plus the In Color 2012-2014 markers work so well together for coloring.  I love the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder, it works so well on so many different projects.  

I made a card similar to this one at Tara's July Shoebox swap, thank you Angela Zaba for the cute idea.  I loved the color on this, it's ALL Costal Cabana.  Ink your stamp up then stamp it 3 different times without re-inking to get the faded effect.

 Love the butterflies on this card, the Papillon Potpourri works so well with both of the coordinating butterfly punches.  Be sure to stamp your greeting first, then run the Strawberry Slush card stock through the Big Shot with the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder.  

I love the new Corner Garden stamp set in the Stampin'Up! annual catalog.  It's a great background stamp that you can do so much with.  Available in Clear $13.95, or Wood $17.95. This fun idea also came from the last Shoebox Swap at Tara's, thanks Andrea Van Sambeck.  

Happy Stamping!!

Corner Garden card

Here is a close up look at one of the cards from my card class on Saturday.  I love the new Corner Garden stamp set in the Stampin'Up! annual catalog.  It's a great background stamp that you can do so much with.  Available in Clear $13.95, or Wood $17.95.

I got this idea from Andrea Van Sambeck at Tara's July Shoebox Swap, thanks for a fun idea.  

Have you ever used a background stamp?  
When I first used one many years ago (I've been doing this for over 8 years), I didn't know how to use them correctly.  But Lisa came to my rescue and helped me!  So first you want to put the stamp down rubber side up and ink your stamp like the picture.  So much easier than trying to stamp all over your ink pad and not knowing if you got it all covered.  

Then carefully place your card stock on the stamp, and use a scrap paper over the top.  DON'T move the card stock while you do this! Gently rub all over on the paper so the ink is transferred to the card stock.  Carefully lift your card stock and paper off the stamp.  You should have a great image!  

For this card the next step is cutting along the image.  Nothing exact, make it whimsical.  

Now use your adhesive to glue the image to the card front, and cut again.  

The last step for me was coloring in some of the centers of the flowers.  It's a fun and easy card.

Happy Stamping!!

Lots of Card Swaps!

Hello!  I am up to my knees in swaps!  And I cannot wait to share all the new fun ideas with you!

This is the first year I did not go to the Stampin'Up! Convention.  Sad!!  But, I still wanted to do some swaps.  That is one of my favorite things at convention is exchanging card ideas with other demonstrators.  So I signed up for card swaps through Stampin' Connection (a great resource for Stampin'Up! Demonstrators), went to a shoebox swap (bring an idea and the supplies to make it, then everyone makes everyone else's card), and organized a card swap.

I thought it would be fun to put a bunch of the cards on the floor to show.  I don't have all the new card swaps yet! But I do have some of my ideas and variations of cards for swaps, and the shoebox swaps from June and July.  But you know what happens as soon as I start putting out cards?  The cat shows up!  Right on cue, Hershey walked through them and plopped down!  I didn't even know where he was when I started doing this.  He just knows and shows up!

Luckily my friend Kate Amberg was doing some swaps for non-convention goers, and I signed up for all 4 categories on Stampin' Connection!  (Black&White, Thank You, No Greeting, and anything new in the catalog)  It's only 12 cards for each category, so no big deal, right?  This would have been a week with a lot of card making anyway before leaving for convention.  I thought I would have plenty of time to get them done.  Famous last word right.  But I DID get them done for Kate!  Just not until Tuesday afternoon and got them out in the mail for Vegas.  Wish I could have gone with the cards to Vegas.

I also signed up for Tara Bazata's Shoebox swap (it was on Monday night).  I wanted to stay busy this week, haha.  It was tons of fun, there were 9 of us, so I got to make 8 new, fun cards.  Love the ideas. There will be more stories to come on this event.

But wait, there's more!  I am also hosting a new catalog swap, these are due today, Friday.  And I have a little bit left to finish these swaps before 5 pm.

With all this fun card making I ran out of time to post projects this last week. But never fear, I will be posting LOTS of fun ideas in the coming days!  I should have taken a picture of all those cards around my feet, then you really would see how deep I was in card making.  Amazingly I came up with a lot of my own ideas this time, very little CASEing (Copy And Share Everything).  Usually I love to CASE cards, but this time I was trying to do my own ideas.

There were also a lot of announcements from Stampin'Up! this week, so I was lucky to get some of those on the blog while doing my stamping, and working, and doing all the mom things too.  It's been a good and busy 7 days!  

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and please share comments on the cards you see as I get them posted.  I would love to hear from you.

Happy Stamping!!

 The kit came with supplies to make 4 bags.  It had lots of choices for decorating, and included stamps, an ink spot, lots of stickers, ribbon, clothespins too.  I had extra stickers, so I used the stamps and ink, with a little card stock to make a few cards too.

Here's the kit, there was a lot in this one.  And below is a finished bag.

Here are a few cards I made using the stamps, extra stickers and the ink spot, along with other supplies I had on hand.
