I previously posted part 1 of our downline shoebox swap (called Stamp A Rama), and here are more cards from that event:
emboss resist by Saundra:
Make a wish by Elyse:
pocket card by Sharon L:
gate fold star card by Joy:
Have a great day!
Here are some samples from the "Stamp A Rama shoebox swap" I do with my direct recruits and Power Team. The cards are supposed to be 10 minute demonstratable cards because we have about 2-1/2 hours to make about 13 or 14 cards at this event. It's lots of fun and we all learn great stamping tips from each other's projects!

More samples coming another day.. stay tuned..
Here is one more card my gals made at their 5 Fun Free event on May 17th.
It's a 3x6 card in Bashful Blue, using some of the Summer Picnic designer papers that have been neglected - at least in my house these prints were neglected. I like how this combo turned out!
The blue flower in the center is punched out of the Summer Picnic paper as well.
"Thank You Much" is from "Block Party" on pg 32. I've mounted them separately... see THIS POST.
Here's a HOT TIP for you ... to color the center of the Silver Hodgepodge brads, I simply used a fine point Sharpee marker!!
We've done the crystal effects mixed with reinker (see HERE), but this is really easy for just a small added dash of color!!
Have a great weekend!
Last Saturday I hosted a few events for my Luv 2 Stamp Group leaders and Direct Recruits. One of the events is called 5 Fun Free Day... if they meet certain sales requirements, they get to come make 5 free projects at this quarterly event! Here was one of the projects they got to make:

One of the projects we did at our meeting last Saturday was the 2 pocket purse/tote with 3x3 Mini Love Notes inside. You know my addiction to the Summer Days Simply Scrappin' kit.... well.. I had to use it for this project, of course! :)
They turned out so cute!
I originally saw the instructions on Melissa Rawlin's blog HERE. I know several demonstrators have done this project, but I wanted to give Melissa credit for her great step by step directions!
Here is what a few of the demonstrators in my group came up with as they played with the supplies at the table (Summer Days SS kit, Die Cut Blooms, White Gel Pen, Striped Ribbon and White Taffeta Ribbon):
At every Luv 2 Stamp Group meeting, I ask everyone to bring an extra swap card to put on the "Card Contest Board". We vote for our favorites and the top 3 get prizes! :) I thought you'd like to see the top 3.. they are AMAZING!!!
3rd place: Elyse Foley
2nd place: Lene'e Pearson
and the winner: Susan Valencia!

I send the Card Contest Board cards to Stampin' Up! for the Wow Art File Contest.. many of them show up on Stampers Showcase, too! yahoo ladies.. way to go!
Here are all the supplies packed and ready to head to the meeting yesterday morning..
Here are some of the ladies having fun stamping:
Here is Jena instructing us in a pop up card project:
Here is the pop up card she taught us to make:
Instructions for the folding of this card can be found on Jana Mays blog here. Jena added the "swing" design to the front of the card so you'd have a place to write a greeting.
Here are a couple of projects I instructed the group on (more to come this week):
They got to pick one Carousel note design to copy.
More meeting projects and ideas to come.. please check back tomorrow..
I did not go with the glitter card for my meeting swap (Luv 2 Stamp Group downline meeting today).. but never fear.. my cards still have some BLING...
I put a "Fire Rhinestone Brad" in the center of the little flowers punched with the Boho Blossoms punch. That's enough "bling" for me! :)
My 44 cards are ready to go.....
Here is a close up for you - it's a 4x4 card:
RECIPE:
Set: All Holidays
Cardstock & Ribbon: Purely Pomegranate
Paper: Bali Breeze DSP
Rub-ons: A Perfect Day
Misc: 5-Petal and Boho Blossom punch, Fire Circle rhinestone brads, Stampin' Dimensional
Leah mailed her cards to me from AZ so I could swap them for her today.. the long distance gals do that... Aren't her cards CUTE!!?
It's the same "pocket fold" that my husband did for his "Husband Card Swap" for the Stampin' UP! cruise, but she did a 3x3 card.. too cute!
I'm off to my meeting... I'm looking forward to sharing the day with my gals.. and will share projects and swaps with you starting tomorrow... stay tuned!
I made up a bunch of these to give as door prizes at our upcoming Luv 2 Stamp Group meeting this Saturday... I hope they like them! It's a 4x4 piece of Bali Breeze DSP on a 4x4 piece of chipboard, with some lined paper attached for "Daily Notes". The "binder clip" allows the project to stand on your desk.
I used a rub-on for the black flower image. It's attached to the binder clip with one of the giant glue dots.
I'm so excited about my upcoming Luv 2 Stamp Group downline meeting this coming Saturday! We always have the BEST time stamping, swapping, chatting, eating, sharing, etc. !! My gals are GREAT! Here are sneak peeks of 2 of the many, many projects we are making on Saturday! It's gonna be a "stampin' day"!
Many of you have emailed me asking for more information on this calendar project by Suzanne (originally featured in this post).
Here is the info for the pattern from Suzanne:
You can get the pattern at Victorine Originals: http://www.victorineoriginals.com. Once there, click on “Patterns.”
Enjoy, and thanks to Suzanne for sharing!
