Tonight was our monthly demonstrator meeting at DeAngelo’s restaurant. We are meeting there monthly (unless we are having a training meeting). At these gatherings we have a short business meetings-going over specials and socializing. Our group is steadily growing and it’s nice to be able to meet old friends and make new ones! One of the perks of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator.
We also make swaps to share with our customers. Tracey is in charge of swap themes/challenges and this months was to use green(s) and a neutral. Here is the one I made.

| TIP:On large (background) stamps, I like to ink and stamp upside down. |
 |
| Wiping traces of ink I don’t want transfered to my card stock. |
 |
| Place card stock on inked stamp and gently rub. |
 |
| End result! |
|
| TIP: Here I am using sticky notes to mask the area I want inked- remember to remove sticky notes before placing CS on top! |
 |
| TIP: I only want the bicycle inked on this stamp– I’m using my marker to ink the stamp. |
 |
| TIPS:Most cut out images need to be stamped first so you can center CS in your punch. If you have a scrap-attach a sticky note so you can center it. |
CS: Card Stock
W: Wood mount
C: Clear mount
Hope these TIPS made your visit worthwhile!
Happy stampin’,
