Hi everyone! Only a few more days before we move Tyler down to his dorm to start college. We shopped yesterday and the girl at the check out gave us a funny look and said “is he going to college or why are you buying all this stuff?” And yes we are getting ready for college – there were many other things that I thought he needed and his answer was “I’ll let you know later if/when I need that.” Fortunately he isn’t going to be that far from home and I do a monthly card class down on the campus so I will be around.
Well that probably isn’t why you are here on my blog so let’s get on to a stamping project. This card is one that I made for the UStamp Swap at convention. Oh by the way the next UStamp class starts this Friday and I designed TWO projects for the class. If you haven’t signed up for this online class you should – there are over 40 projects from demonstrators all over the world with complete tutorials. CLICK HERE for more information.
Anyway back to my card for today. A bunch of us got together from the last Ustamp Blog Hop and did a swap at convention. Here is my card:
This card has a lot of steps and masking going on and I am writing a tutorial with the instructions for it. I will add it to this post later today.
Colors are Basic Black, Old Olive, Whisper White and Crumb Cake.
Stamp Sets -Nature’s Nest and Inspired by Nature.
This was also my card swap for my PAWS team meeting in July. I’ll be back later today.
UPDATE: I was having some trouble getting my tutorial converted to a PDF so that I can post it for you – I’ll get it fixed in the morning. Thanks.

Welcome to the UStamp with Dawn and Friends!! World Showcase Blog Hop. Are you excited to be here? I know I am! I’m very excited to be part of this and to show you the project I created.
If you have been following the Blog Hop from the beginning, you have just come from Marisol’s blog. What did you think of that cute Scratch & Sniff card? Wasn’t that a fun summer card?
If you are just joining the Blog Hop, no problem as you can start at any point. All the Designer’s Blogs are linked together so you will be able to see ALL the super projects we have for you. At the bottom of each post there are links to the previous and next blog.
For my project I decided to use the Strength & Hope stamp set in the Summer Mini Catalog. Remember if you purchase this stamp set (or the digital download) Stampin’ Up! will donate $2 from your purchase to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Stampin’ Up! started their Making a Difference Program in 2003 and partnered with the Ronald McDonald House Charities which continues today. Stampin’ Up! has partnered with various other organizations over the year in an effort to make a difference in the world around us.
Now here is my project which will surely inspire you….
I have had this luminary idea in my mind for several weeks and it came together just beautifully don’t you think?
It is soft and inspirational. I remember when I walked in the Relay for Life for my mom (she had Colon Cancer) we had luminaries surrounding the track as we walked. That has been a handful of years ago but I always think of those luminaries and they gave me the inspiration to make one with this stamp set. These would be beautiful on all the tables at a fundraiser event. Here is another view of the front –
