Here’s a look at what I was doing this weekend…creating swaps for Stampin’ Up!’s annual convention in Salt Lake City which starts on Thursday. I am not going, but I am preparing a group of swaps that will make the trip. My teammate Amy Kunkle has graciously offered to do extra swapping with my cards, so I will be anxious to see what she brings back.
I have been in the mood for Christmas projects lately, and I thought a sample that uses everyday product would be fun. This card uses “Work of Art” and “Epic Alphabet”. I am pretty sure that these sets weren’t designed for Christmas, but they are versatile enough for any occasion. The colors here are Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow, Very Vanilla, and Crumb Cake.
I did pull out my sewing machine for this one, and it was worth it! It only took a second or two to tack down that pretty new Venetian Crochet Trim with a punched heart on each card. I also used one of my Blendabilities on this card – can you see where? That’s not really fair, it’s hard to see in the picture – I touched up the staple with my Dark Cherry Cobbler marker.
Here’s another look at this project in progress. Don’t you love it when a project gets to this point? All of the elements are made and it is just a matter of assembling.
