Stampin' Up Stuff

I crashed a Stampin' Up workshop the other night.  Okay, I was invited because I had "the goods" to deliver and no, I'm not going to tell you what "the goods" are right now.  Maybe I'll never tell you and you'll forever wonder.... although that isn't my plan right now.

The Stampin' Up people let me play with their stuff and we made this fun card.  We even hired a professional seamstress to do the sewing.  We opted not to stamp a greeting on this card so that we could later add whatever was needed.  Those stripes are made with a stencil. The idea of stencils never really appealed to me but that was kind of fun (and easy!). Ut oh.

We also made this crazy bright card.  The funky bottom was cut with a die that we snugged around the card and then only cut part way.  It is a neat technique and now that I've actually done it maybe I'll try it again sometime.

The Fine Print: As far as I know, all the goods are by Stampin' Up. I know the "We'll be Friends" thing is from their digital downloads although there is a similar stamp.
