Swaps!

Wednesday, September 9, 2020
At out September Team Meeting we did a SWAP
What is a swap - each person who signs up will make a card (all the same) for everyone else on the list who signed up. For example we had 16 (the biggest swap so far!) sign up so everyone needed to make 15 of the same card (unless they wanted to keep one for themselves)
At the end of the night they each went home with a variety of 15 different cards.  Cards that they can use for their classes or for making cards to send.
Normally we do a SWAP when a new catalog is introduced but I failed to orchestrate a new annual catalog SWAP so when the August/December catalog came out we said that they could use something from either one of those catalogs but it needed to be a NEW product and the card had to be 100% Stampin' Up! products.
I was quite impressed with the beautiful cards that everyone made. I will share these cards between three different blog posts.
For this first post I will share the cards that I will call "All Occasion"
FIELD OF FLOWERS is the stamp set that Linda K used, and she also used a reversed masking technique to create the circular area.
WHALE DONE is the stamp set that Inez chose for her card, and the very cool WHALE OF A TIME 6x6 designee paper. Each card took 1- 6x6 piece so there was a nice variety of cards.
BLOSSOMS IN BLOOM is the stamp set that Susan chose. She must have used Stampin' Write Markers to color her stamped image. The Thank You stamp is from the stamp set SO SENTIMENTAL
PAMPERED PETS is the stamp set that Stephanie chose. Each card had a different set of pups on it as she cut the cute pups from the PLAYFUL PETS Designer Paper.
NOTHING'S BETTER THAN is the stamp Set that Jodie chose - make me hungry with all those yummy cookies!
TODAY'S TILES is the stamp set that Rachel chose. She had a cool story to share about why this was a must-have stamp set. I'm quite impressed, this is one stamp so she colored it in with Stampin' Write Markers, and look what great coverage she got!!


Have I got a deal for you!!

Team Shares

Tuesday, September 8, 2020
At our team meeting last week we had a few shares and I wanted to share them with you 
Inez shared this box card that she made with her on line stamping group - I've been wanting to try this card technique so was excited to see one first hand
Pam made this pretty fall card using the Celebration Labels Dies & the Celebration Tidings Stamp Set. Don't you just love that plaid paper? I'm not terrible fond of plaid - but this is so pretty!
Inez also shared this super cool Merry Moose card! of all the moose cards that I have seen, this one is my favorite! I love the different from traditional Christmas colors.
Sue did our Make & Take project for this month showing everyone an oldie but goodie technique of using masking (or painters) tape to add varying colors to your card.
We have several newer demonstrators on our team so it is nice to show something that we have used in the past. I will try to remember the colors she used. On the purple card it is Seaside Spray, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Rich Razzleberry.  On the yellow card she used So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, and Mango Melody.
