Swap Card for Luv2Stamp Group Meeting 8-17-2013

Our Luv 2 Stamp Group had a meeting yesterday in Concord.  Here's the swap I made (there were 22 people who traded), I received some awesome trades in return!

The top photo was taken by Vinnie Cespedes, she added to her blog and I thought her picture was much better than mine!  Mine is the bottom one before I decided the green Candy Dots would look better than the brown!  Check out Vinnie's blog, she has pictures of all the trades from our meeting.  Thanks so much Vinnie, what a great idea.

I'm loving the Perfect Blend Stamp Set.  I used Baked Brown Sugar, Season of Style Paper Stack and Cherry Cobbler Co'ordinations CS and DSP.  For embellishments I used Candy Dots.  The coffee & friends was punched out using the new Label Bracket Punch.  The background Cherry Cobbler C'ordinations paper I ran through the Big Shot using the Alphabet Press Embossing Folder and then sanding it with the Sanding Blocks.  I "fussy-cut" the cups and cozies!

I didn't win a prize for my creation but I was proud to trade.  We have so many great Demonstrators in our Group and getting one of their hand-made cards is like Christmas!

Guinness Book of World Records

This is the card I mailed to my down-line Tina at Convention to be a part of Stampin' UP!'s way into the Guinness Book of World Records as the most cards sent from one location!  We made it!!!! Woo hoo!  Hope you like the card Tina....

I used the Perfect Blend Stamp Set, DSP from the Season of Style Stack.  The saying was punched with the Artison Label Punch and I punched two more to make a layered outline.  I used the Regal Candy Dots to embellish.  It was a fun card to make and I stood in line for 2 hours just to get it included in the mailing!  The inside was computer generated and cut out with a Labels Collection Framelit.

Hope you get it okay Tina!
