The Stampin Up Onstage is only one week away and this time we are going to Fort Worth, Texas.

I am working on my Swapping cards.  For those of you who don’t know what a SWAP is:  Swapping card is when you go to the Stampin Up event, you create a number of the cards in the same design.  You exchange the cards with other people at the event.  In this way you will get a lot of ideas when you come back home.
I created 60 cards for the general SWAP and 30 for our group SWAP.  I also created 50 3D items to exchange with other stampers.    I cannot wait to see what other people creates.

Here are some pictures during the card creating process:

I stamped and colored a lot of pens and then cut the pen out.

Stamp the splash from the “Swirly Bird” set.  Stamp from the lower left corner to the  top right corner.  I did not re-ink the stamp so it will create a dark to light color shade.

Cut the Note out by using the “Large Letters Framelits

Glue the cutting words to the card base.

Here are the final products
