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, and a 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!!!
