Hey Y'all!
I have been a busy girl! I think I broke a personal record this week...June is a busy month for me. In addition to my regular everyday schedule, I go to Youth Camp with our church for a week, and we always leave Father's Day afternoon. And today is the Stampin Up! demonstrator event, Creativity Now. My team and I are getting together for a day of crafting fun....the event doesn't start until 6:00 this evening, but we are having a Salad lunch and then several of us have created a "Shoebox Swap," a project you design and prep, and all the supplies fit in a "shoebox." There will be 7 of us, so I had to create my project and prep for 7 people to make it today. I also signed up for 2 card swaps in a Demonstrator group. One was using new product from the July-December Mini, and one using products from the Saleabration catalog, both will be available to customers July 1st. For each swap, I had to make 13 cards. And they had to be mailed yesterday because of me leaving for Youth Camp. Then Thursday was one of my monthly card events, Rose City Stampers, where we make 3 projects. So this week I have made 26 cards for the Demonstrator Swap, designed and prepped 3 projects for a class, designed and prepped 7 projects for our Shoebox Swap, plus the prep for the Creativity Now event....whew! PS, my house is telling the tale...it looks like a tornado has come through. But you know what, I wouldn't trade my life for anything.
I wanted to share the 2 cards I created for the Demonstrator Swaps. This is the card from the J-D Mini. It uses a bundle called Celebrate With Tags. If you like to create your own gift tags, you will want this!
This is the card I made featuring the Saleabration item "Tree Lot Dies." It coordinates with the "Trees For Sale" stamp in the Mini.
To add texture and dimension to the trees, I did a watercolor wash in Shaded Spruce onto a piece of Shimmery White carstock, then die cut the trees from that. I used the detail stamp to stamp the branches, and I love how they turned out!
Well, that's all for today, I will be sharing our Creativity Now projects and Shoebox Swaps in future posts, so stay tuned. Now I've got to go make a Pound Cake for camp and Chicken Salad for our event...I think I'm gonna sleep good tonight!
Our Kits are on sale! Grab a few and give as gifts, or invite friends over to craft with you!
