April 2019 OnStage

Hello Stampers!  As you may know, I spent this last few days in Minneapolis at the Stampin' Up! OnStage event!  We had a fabulous time!  There were 7 of us from the Cardinal Stampers team.  Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Here we are outside Mall of America.

Snow on the ground when we got there!  Yuck!

Inside Mall of America.  It was amazing!!

I had an event on Friday evening when I received the catalog.  It is amazing!!!

The centerpieces at our tables!  

Just me and 1300 of my closest friends!!!  Our event was even bigger than the Live event in New Zealand!!

Waiting to get in!!!  Our matching shirts made it easy to find each other!!

This is what the seat of a stamper looks like!!

I will post some additional pictures of new product on my Inkin With Dink Stampers Facebook group!  Check it out!

 

Swing arm card

Hello Stampers!  Today for my Facebook Live, I focused on the Coffee Cafe stamp set.  It is one of my favorite stamp sets in the catalog right now!  It has a coordinating set of framelits too called Coffee Cups Framelits.  I am showcasing this set all week for my videos.  Yesterday I used it to make a gift card holder.  Today it was this swing arm card and tomorrow I will use it for my 3D Thursday project!  I'm so hoping it doesn't show up on the retiring list this week!!!

I started off my Facebook Live by looking at several swap cards I have received, and some cards that I have made, using this featured stamp set.  I then show how to make this fun card:

Reverse Canvas

Hello Stampers!  Am I wrong in assuming that crafty people participate in several different types of crafts?  For instance, over the years I have cross stitched, quilted, ran a Santa Shop that carried only hand made items, card making, candle making, and scrapbooking!  I am currently taking a monthly class at a local craft shop where we make a project with our Silhouette e-cutters.  Last month we learned what they call reverse canvases.

We were given a canvas, which we took off of it's frame.  We cut out a quote from heat-transfer vinyl and then adhered it to the canvas.  We then stretched it and attached to the back of the frame, which we painted.  

It was a pretty easy process, and I like the look of it.  What do you think?

Let me know if this is something you have made before, and maybe tell me some of the other crafts you have done!  I might be ready for something new!!!
