Do you ever look at the catalogue and think: "I love everything!" Well, so do I. Of course, we have to make choices and can't everything. The closest thing you can do to "have everything", is to participate in swaps. Demonstrators often participate in swaps, and OnStage is a great occasion to participate, as we meet hundreds of other demonstrators.
A swap is when each person will use make a card in multiple copies, then swap with other demonstrators, so that you end up with a stack of cards in all sorts of designs, colours, and techniques. Because everyone used different products, you get to have cards using products that you don't have.
For last month's OnStage, I chose to use the InColors that were returning and the coordinating Designer Series Paper (this one retiring at the end of the month). I love the Crafting Forever stamp set, the sentiments are very fun and I played on the "cut out" phrase by adding a diagonal cut through the DSP nad using the scissors stamp. It was so easy to mix and match the DSP with all the colours, while keeping the same design for all the cards.
For the metallic thread, I looped them several times around my fingers, in a figure 8 shape, and adhered them with some snail adhesive. I popped up the circle wih Dimensionals over it.
For the DSP, I cut it down at 1/2" shorter than the cardbase and just put in on my Stampin' Trimmer and cut diagonally. It didn't all have to be exactly the same, so I eyeballed it. The strip of paper is 1-1/2" wide and as long as the cardbase. I stamped the scissors on it, alternating the direction and making sure to go over the paper. That's really all there is to that card! It would be easy to recreate it with any DSP and in any colour!
I highly recommend this stamp set, it has really fun images and sayings, plus, it is the Angel Policy Stamp Set, which means it includes a copyright Stampin' Up! stamp that allows you to sell the cards you make. I'd love to see your own cards made with that stamp set or using that same layout. Feel free to share in comments!
