CARD SWAP...

I am a BUSY BEE from Vancouver. We are a group of Stampin' Up Demonstrators that occasionally meet at the HIVE and have a CREATIVE BLAST.  The agenda always includes LEARNING NEW THINGS from each other and from our leader BARB BRIMHALL!  One of the favorite things we love to do is to SWAP CARDS!

I took pictures of the cards I received in this SWAP and added the Stampin' Up! Demonstrator's name on the picture of the card she made. I also included a picture of the card I designed and shared for the Swap. ENJOY!

THE KIT LADY...

The HOME frame is 5"x7". The alpha letters are 2" tall and placed behind glass. A small Velcro (hook) square is attached to the front of the glass between the H and the M. The Velcro (loop) square is attached to each of the Four Season Circle Designs. As the seasons change, you peel that circle off, and place another circle on. The back of the frame has a wall hook for hanging and also an angle slat to place the frame upright on any surface.

The creative circle, placed on top of the glass and the Velcro

adds a nice dimensional feature to your framed display.

SO MANY GOOD THINGS CAN HAPPEN AT HOME... Dozens and dozens of other designs, events, celebrations, holidays, and more make this FRAMED KIT fun for the entire family year round!  For example, cut out a photo of your child, or your pet, or ???  Attach Velcro to the back and display the frame for a happy surprise!

 

 

 

STANDING OVATION...

The stamp set used on this card is one of my new favorites, not just this particular stamp, but all of them (as pictured below)! ...ON THAT THING YOU DID, I'd give you a standing ovation, but here's a card instead! (Just think of how often this greeting could be used!)  FUN!

CRAFTING ON ZOOM...

I logged onto my computer with anticipation and clicked on the Zoom link. There were two Zoom pages of gals pictured in those little frames, but I was too excited to count. When we said our HELLOS, it was time for the instructions..."MAKE A CARD OF YOUR CHOICE OUT OF THE PARTS AND PIECES PREVIOUSLY ASSIGNED, AND IT IS OKAY TO ADD CARDSTOCK, PUNCHES AND EMBELLISHMENTS OF YOUR LIKING!"  For an hour, we worked on our cards, from our homes, in front of our computer screens, while chit chatting and having a ball. The leader, Barb, had great tidbits to share as each of us were creating our own masterpieces! 

 This is my finished card...

STAMPING ON ZOOM...

I have been invited to attend a ZOOM STAMPING EVENT tomorrow!  The instructions were... Bring the following supplies with colors and coordinating designer paper of your choice: Cardstock cut to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" or 4-1/4" x 11" / 6 pieces of Designer Series Paper cut in pieces of 3/4" x 3" / Word stamp / Ink pad to match / Paper trimmer / Scissors / Bone folder /  Adhesive. I really don't have a clue of what the finished card or 3-D item is planned to be... but whatever it is, I think I will make it for my hubby for FATHER'S DAY!  So... Take a look at what you see in this picture, and look forward to my next post to see what the ZOOM SURPRISE PROJECT turned out to be!!!
