  Can you believe it? Our Stamp Time with Friends YouTube Hop family is growing.  Creating with me this month are Tamika Morris, Martinette Horner, Valerie Powell, and new to the team, Tiffany McGill. Thanks for joining us this month as the design team wows you with their creative projects using the die elements: Stampin' Up! In-Colors; Embellish, Masculine, Sponging, Fun folds, and one of our members tortured us with having to do this all on a non-A2 sized card.  I chose to create a 5 1/2" square card.  I chose this size primarily because I wanted to ensure that I would use products that we generally have on hand.  I find that I will have 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock on hand but not much 12" x 12" for my card bases...that I reserve for patterned/Designer Series Paper So here's what you'll need for the project today: Base color: 5 1/2" x 11"; 3 3/4" x 3 3/4"; 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" DSP/Patterned Paper: 2 1/2" x 5 1/4" Coor...

Once a month, on the first Sunday of the month, the Fabulous Fun Friday Stampers gather together for our Shoebox Card swap. What is a Shoebox Swap? In our swap, the coordinator, me, picks the theme and each participant designs a project within the parameters and creates card kits for the number of confirmed attendees. All the kit parts and pieces are placed in a "shoebox" and passed around til everyone creates the card. At the end of the day, you leave the event with several ideas. So this month, our theme was "Christmas in August" and our projects had to include ribbon. There were seven (7) of us. Take a look and see what the crew crested. I'm always amazed at the talent of the ladies I stamp with.      (Note: our group consists of Stampin' Up! and non-Stampin' Up!  demonstrators. We set no limitations on brands that can be used or whether current or retired products are used), but the majority of us are either demonstrators or current Stampin' Up! ...
