Come Stamp with Me!
Truly, I mean it!!! Come and stamp with me at the Rubber Stampede — and if you are lucky enough to live in central/northern Wisconsin or Upper Michigan, you know exactly what I’m talking about. It is THE stamping event of the year in this neck of the woods — LOL!!! It always runs the first weekend in May and this year it’s on May 2, 3 and 4, and I’ll be there for all 3 days, with cards for you to make each day using the gorgeous clear stamps by Flourishes— how fun is that!!!!
The Rubber Stampede is located in the tiny little northwoods town of Sayner, which would be a *suburb* of the touristy town of Eagle River, Wisconsin – have you ever been there? The Rubber Stampede starts with classes on Friday night, and something new this year is the Friday night Round Robin. Everyone will make 6 cards in a 3 hour period. There will be 6 different instructors/projects, and participants will rotate from one table to the next, and when all is said and done they will each go home with 6 new and wonderful creations!!! This is the card I’ll be having the participants make in the Friday night Round Robin:
This card uses some of my very favorite sets from Flourishes — the Lace Heart and the Damask Positive background stamp. Isn’t it pretty? It is accented with lush black velvet ribbon (I LOVE velvet ribbon), a punched tag, anda vintage looking pin with a bit of dotted sheer ribbon. I love the vintage feel of the Lace Heart, Damask and pin, but I also love how the card in general has a classic, clean and modern feel to it — I LOVE what I like to call a Clean Vintage look!!! Hope the class participants like it, too!!! Oh, one other thing — since making this sample, I received the Scallop Heart Nestabilities by Spellbinders, so rather than being framed in plain back, we’ll have a scalloped black border around our heart — how fun!!!!
So, that takes care of Friday for me at the Rubber Stampede, but there’s a LOT more in store on Saturday and Sunday — but that’ll have to be another post, another day — so please stay tuned!!! And if you are in the vicinity, or care to make the trip, I would LOVE to meet any of my Blog readers, Blogging friends and SCS friends — it would be so much fun to meet you IRL!!!

This is a beauty. I Love that heart stamp. I wish I could be there as well. 🙁
Gorgeous card ! Wish I lived nearby so I could come to the stamping event sounds like fun ! Have a great time !
I wish I lived in the vicinity! Wonder if the hubby will understand it I just disappear for a few days? Probably not, he’d miss his meals! LOL This card is gorgeous Sharon, you’ve truly come up with a card that is going to WOW everyone!
You will have the best M and T there, I bet, Sharon! It’s fab, as ALWAYS. 😀
Ooh, this sounds like a lot of fun! I looked on the map to see where Sayner is. . . doesn’t look like a bad drive from Duluth. I’ll have to see if I can find someone to travel with me. Your make ‘n take is adorable – hope to make it to the show!
