Hello!  Saturday I attended Stampin’ Up!’s Regional Event in downtown Denver.  It was FABULOUS!  I LOVE Stampin’ Up! events.  I always come home motivated and full of fabulous ideas that I can share with you!

This was my swap card for the event.  Isn’t it pretty?  I love this color combination of Early Espresso and Island Indigo.  The card definitely looks better in person.  Can you see from the picture that the stamped image is embossed with the Big Shot?  I first stamped the leaves and then I rubbed the Island Indigo ink over the stamped image with the Stampin’ Sponge.   Then I ran the card stock through the Big Shot.  This gave a total different look than you would get if you ran the card stock through the Big Shot before rubbing the ink on it.  Give it a try!  It’s pretty easy.

My team had a meeting yesterday to plan our Holiday Stamp Camp.  We have some great projects in store for you.  I hope you can join us on November 3rd if you’re in Denver area!  Have a great day and Happy Stamping!
