#stampinup While I’m away on a business trip–to beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah, my Stampin’ Up group, the Proverbial Stampers, is getting together for a new catalog gathering. I’m missing all the fun–but I was able to opt in for the “long distance” version since the party was going on while I was so far away from home. I can’t wait to see what make-and-takes I get in the mail! Everything will be from the new catalog, so I’m extra anxious to see everything!
The Proverbial Stampers group also had a card-making contest and swap. We made 26 card fronts, one of which was entered into a design contest. While I don’t think I’ve won anything with my design–my fellow teammates are pretty awesome artists–I’m also looking forward to see what great creations I’m going to receive in return. So many things to anticipate!!
For my swap card, I started with a Sweet Sugarplum card front, which I embossed with the Polka Dot Embossing Folder. I cut a strip of Playful Palette Designer Series Paper and backed it with a slightly wider strip of Emerald Envy Card Stock. I adhered this to the card.
Next, I stamped a badge from the “Badges and Banners” stamp sent in Sweet Sugarplum and punched it with the coordinating Best Badge Punch. I also punched a piece of Emerald Envy with the Duet Banner Punch. I adhered the banner behind the badge and added some swirled Basic Black Baker’s Twine. I added this element to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
