A part of almost every Stampin’ Up! event is swapping card ideas and a service project.  This year for the Alaska cruise we are collecting backpacks and school supplies for the Boys and Girls Club of Juneau.  I thought this backpack was a good Stampin’ Up! new In Color.

Disclaimer:  Trips are earned by less than 1% of demonstrators and are not typical

So if you like this color, you might want to pick the In Color family for your free inkpad collection here.

My swap card gives you a sneak peek at the Stampin’ Up August special.   Do you remember the Thoughtful Branches bundle from a couple years ago?  Well, our artists have created another outstanding stamp set and matching dies.  This one is called Blended Seasons with great seasonal images to color with….a long awaited new set of Watercolor Pencils!  The coordinating Stitched Seasons framelits dies make stitches on both sides of the cut – a first for Stampin’ Up!  This bundle is only available in August while supplies last (or now if you choose it in your demonstrator starter kit when you Join the Fun.)  The watercolor pencils will be available again in an upcoming catalog.

The Stamparatus was a huge help in creating this card.  First I made a template of the diecut.  Then I laid down a piece of window sheet for stamping on, to get both stamps lined up perfectly.

Then I removed the window sheet and stamped one piece after the other.  It’s so fast having 2 plates to use!  And each plate can rotate for 2 more surfaces!  Check out the Stamparatus here.

Check out Stampin’ Up! products at my website shop, as well as the starter kit special under Join the Fun.

I’m heading on the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip to Alaska.  Thanks for supporting my home business!

Happy crafting,
