Global Su Share Fair - Look What I Made!

Hi friends!

As you may know, I participated in Global SU Share Fair on April 25th. I was among 17 demonstrators who provided Facebook Live stamping demonstrations. Our all day stamping live event (a stamp camp!) included demos from Australia, UK, Ireland, Canada, and the US!

I wasn't able to watch all the presentations live because of time zone differences and preparations for my own presentation. So far I've made about half of the projects that were shared. Some I substituted supplies based on what I had on hand, as each project used a Stampin' Up! designer series paper (DSP).

Did you watch the Share Fair? Which project was your favorite?

There is still time to join the group and see the all the wonderful presentations -- and craft along! Find the Global SU Share Fair on Facebook and request to join or ask me to add you. Find me on Facebook as Terri Kerfoot Stewart or on my Stamping is Fun private group.

Here are a few photos of the projects I've completed from the April Share Fair....and more to come!

Throwback Thursday - Beautiful Wings

Hey friends!

Throwback Thursday...from 2012!

I'm sharing a card today I made using Stampin Up's Sale-a-Bration designer series (DSP) Everyday Enchantment; since that paper is now retired, you'll need DSP that has similar colors. I was inspired by a card made by Chat M. Wszelaki.

It's a very pretty card and easy to put together.



Ingredients
Very vanilla cardstock (cs) – 8.5 x 5.5” (card base), 1.75 x 5 1/8”, 3-1” squares, scraps
· Pool party (PP), Lucky Limeade (LL), Calypso Coral (CC) cs, 1” squares of each
· Calypso Coral cs 4 x 5.25”
· Everyday Elegance DSP 1.75 x 5.125”

Accessories
· Punches – postage stamp, 1” square, scallop border, 1.25" circle, and 1 3/8” circle
· Beautiful wings embosslits
· dimensionals
· rhinestone jewels
· 3/8" taffeta Crumb Cake ribbon
Crumb Cake ink


Recipe
1. Using Beautiful wings embosslit with the Big Shot machine, cut 1 polka dot butterfly of each PP, LL, and CC cs.

2. Punch one postage stamp of each PP, LL, and CC.

3. Punch one long edge of the CC cs using the scallop border punch; adhere to the front of the very vanilla card base with the scallop edge facing down.

4. Adhere the very vanilla rectangle piece near the top of the CC piece; adhere the DSP piece just below it, leaving a very small space between the 2 pieces.

5. Adhere a 1” square very vanilla square on each of the postage punched pieces; place a dimensional behind each and adhere to the very vanilla rectangle, spacing evenly.

6. Place dimensionals behind each butterfly and adhere on top of each of the matching postage pieces; place a rhinestone on each butterfly.

7. Stamp a sentiment on a scrap very vanilla piece using Crumb Cake ink and punch out a circle with the 1.25” punch; adhere to a circle of CC cs punched with the 1 3/8” circle punch.

8. Place a dimensional behind the circles and adhere to the card front.

9. Tie a bow and attached above the circles.


I'd love to see or hear what you have been working on! Leave me a comment telling me about your latest crafting projects. Thanks!

Cards in the Mail kits -- from my craft room to yours!

Hello friends!

I'm now providing Card Kits in the Mail. I've done all the work so you can do the easy part -- make cards!

While we aren't able to stamp in person we can stamp with the help of the US Postal Service. I'm offering a Card Kit in the Mail. Each kit comes with all the pieces to make 4 cards, each of a different design. Cost includes postage, cardstock, dies cuts (or punched), embellishments, envelopes and instructions.

You supply stamps, ink and your favorite adhesive. I've designed these cards so most just need stamped sentiments that you likely have in your stamp collection; see a peek of the finished cards below.

Cost is $15 for a kit that makes 4 cards; I'm also offering a kit that make 8 cards (2 each of 4 designs) for $25. I will start mailing kits on Saturday, May 2nd; as I'm launching card kits in the mail, there are a limited number of kits. Contact me today to get your kit in the mail!

Card kit in the Mail - make 4 cards!
I started a stamping Facebook Group, Stamping is Fun. I share stamping projects, tips, and news. I'd love to have you join the fun. Find me on Facebook as Terri Kerfoot Stewart and look for my Stamping is Fun group. And I'm doing Facebook Live videos, too!

I'm learning a new skill while I'm social distancing!!! Last week was a steep learning curve as I got ready to present a live stamping session to an international stamp camp via Facebook Live (called a Share Fair). It went so well I've committed to another on May 15th! If you haven't already joined the Global SU Share Fair Facebook group, where this stamping sessions take place, I encourage you to join today and follow me as I learn in public. 🙂

Stamping is fun!
