Great Friend card

Here is another STARZ swap card.  This one was designed by Michelle Scileppi.  Another set that I really like – it must be the butterflies!starz-swap-4

Here is a list of supplies:

  • Dusty Durango card stock
  • Soft Suede card stock
  • Certainly Celery card stock
  • Whisper White card stock
  • Vellum card stock
  • Great Friend stamp set
  • Soft Suede classic ink
  • Certainly Celery classic ink
  • Whisper White craft ink
  • White Gel Pen
  • Distresser tool
  • Big Shot Die Cut machine
  • SU Little Leaves Sizzlet Die
  • 1-3/4″ circle punch

But this card has a surprise – it is a pop-up on the inside…. starz-swap-4bhow fun is that.

If you remember last week I posted a tennis card and this is the card I modeled it after.

We saw this kind of pop-up card at convention last year but I hadn’t tried to make one until I saw Michelle’s card.  Sometimes it is better to have an actual example in hand to work from that just a picture.  That’s why swap cards are so great.  I’m headed to convention next week and will be back with lots of swap cards.  I’m participating in a Shoebox swap on Tuesday night – I’ll tell you more about that later.  We have a STARZ meeting at convention and we’ll do a swap there as well as make some projects that various demos are sharing.  And then we’ll have Make-n-Takes during convention and general swapping with any demos we run into along the way – at the airport, at the hotel, walking the around Salt Lake City, in between classes, standing in line, …… you get the picture.

Have a great weekend!

Convention – here I come!

I’m so excited!  Today was the day we could register for the Stampin’ Up! convention.  It will be in August this year the same week that school starts but I am headed to Salt Lake City!  And all three of my roommates from last year are going too – we are going to have the best time!    Now to get flights and our hotel….  It’s not too late to join Stampin’ Up! as a demonstrator and get registered to come to convention with me – call me if you want to learn more.

Stampin’ Up! also announced the winners of the Scrapbook Class Challenge today.  I didn’t win this time but my class was still featured on the Stampin’ Up! website!  That in itself is exciting!  It’s the Butterfly Kisses & Birthday Wishes page that I made for my mom’s birthday pictures.  Which happens to be the same layout that we made at my March Scrapbook class – we just used different colors for that one.  Both were posted on my blog earlier –

My next scrapbook class at my home will be on April 29th.

If you can’t come to classes but would like to purchase scrapbook kits – check out the WowScrapbookKits blog that I created for Wendy and I to sell monthly scrapbook kits and individual layouts.  Here is a peek at this month’s kit:
