The Open Sea Stamp Set is sailing away

swaps12-tami-whiteI'm starting a new series of posts containing gorgeous and cool swap cards either myself or a friend received at recent Stampin' Up events. I love swapping, it's one of my favorite parts of events, and where most of my inspiration comes from. Today's cards are from The Open Sea Stamp Set (123030 wood, 123032 clear mount), and the Nautical Expedition Designer Paper (122343) that are in the 2011 Stampin’ Up! Summer Mini catalog.

VIDEO TUTORIAL: Hello Doily Panel Card

hello-doilyThis card is absolutely amazing! I received it from the Stampin' Up! Events team as a "Thank you" for going on the SU Alaska cruise. Seriosuly, they thanked me?!? WOW! I think they must have been confused as I was the one who felt like I should be doing the thanking. Just another awesome perk of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, the trip we are earning free now is to Fiji!! The card caught everyone's eye, it's a real WOW in person. I copied it for my stamp club members last month. Here is a quick video tutorial demonstrating how to create it. My stamp club members also get photo/written instructions for this and all of our exclusive club projects, along with the video. Click here for more info on my clubs >
