They have been so excited about the magic card, we had to make another one for one of our projects at this month’s demo meeting so they could each have their own. I designed this on exactly the same template as Magic Monkey, and used the Bloomin’ Beautiful stamp set (111490). We colored with the Stampin Write Markers (don’t miss my marker share, click here). Everything with Bloomin’ Beautiful is gorgeous, and the magic card has that incredible WOW factor, when you pull the tab the flowers magically turn into color.

Last night we had our Team Stamp It demonstrator meeting. This meeting was mostly fun, I had a couple of really cool projects to make, and the gals brought some incredible shares and swaps! Some I’ll share here, some I’ll share later.

I had gone through my display boards of cards samples (hundreds) and had a big box out for the gals to take them. I told them if the box was empty at the end of the night, I’d raffle off a stamp set. Wouldn’t you know it, that box was wiped clean! So I raffled off Asian Artistry and Country Morning hostess stamp sets - Congrats to Linda Cullen and Lynn Coffman!

I taught an MDS (My Digital Studio) project session, and we learned a new trick. Surprise! I whipped out a hidden package and gave all the gals their very own pack of stationary created with MDS!! Complete with their own name on it. They were pretty surprised! That was so much fun. I have instructions on how to make this stationary here >

I love these gatherings, I look forwar to it all month!

Simply print off my instruction sheet, download the templates and you’re on your way!

The instruction sheet gives step by step instructions on how to use and print your template on the computer (both My Digital Studio and MS Word instructions). Then the video demonstrates how easy it is to put your box together, once you’ve printed.

“Trading Cases”

Recently my friend Mary Fish and I had a bout of project envy. Project Envy = drooling over each other’s creations (happens a lot, you may suffer from this too). So how does one cure “project envy”? One CASES of course! Warning:CASEing causes excitement, pride and extreme satisfaction. Mary had created the most incredible  “Sunflower”  (or Black Eyed Susan as I like to call it) out of sweet treat cups, oval punches and m&ms. I just flipped over it. She went crazy over  Punchy the Lion! So we crafted up the fun idea to CASE each other and post them together…so today’s blog post is dubbed “Trading Cases“!

This is my CASEd version of Mary’s Sunny & Sweet Treat project and here is Mary’s version of Punchy the Lion. I put a quick video (below) together show how to create this gorgeous candy treat card.
