Num - Num

Hi there!  Ready for a new week?  Hope you had a good weekend.  Mine was busy with our Card Buffet and having the granddaughter for the weekend.  A big thank you to all the ladies who came to our Card Buffet!  Mary Taylor and I appreciate your support!
My card share today is another swap from the Stampin' Up! Convention that Sally Nusbaum attended.  Sally was kind enough to bring them to the crop we attended after her return.  Sorry for the glare on all of her swaps.  I didn't want to remove from the protective cello envelope on the off chance of getting the card dirty.  Love this version of the Cookie Monster which pairs up perfectly with the Num-Num stamp set.  (You can find this set on page 17 of the 2014-15 Annual Catalog.)  It is a great set to dress up those packaged goodies, especially with the holidays just around the corner!  It appears that the 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch was used for Cookie's head and folded down part of the way after adhering a black semi-circle.  Circles were punched out for his eyes.  His "hands" were punched out from the Boho Blossoms Punch.  The sentiment was stamped, then punched out with the Decorative Label Punch.  The Topnote Die was used to cut out the black background, which is adhered to a Pacific Point card base.
Must get busy now to work on my swaps for the Demo Shoebox Swap that Sally has organized for us on Sunday.  Looking forward to the fun!  Thank you so much for stopping in today!

Cookies! The Last Camp Card

Hey there and happy Friday to you!  Here is the last of the Stamp Camp cards - Cookie Monster.  He sure was a popular one!  I've been challenged to make an Oscar.  (I'm up for the challenge but it will be a few weeks when things settle down a bit.)  One thing I learned is to cut a hinged circle (accomplished by placing your folded card stock just below the cut line).  Adhere the larger Pacific Point scallop circle (cut out separately) on top.  This technique works really well and you don't have to worry about the scallops lining up.  That was the previous dilemma even though the pieces were cut together.  Go figure!

Tomorrow is the Holidaze Demo Event!!  It's one of the events Sally Nusbaum organizes bi-annually for us Demonstrators and friends.  We jokingly call them "Sally's Regionals".  (I think she likes that.)  Looking forward to the demonstrations, seeing my stamping friends, and of course swapping. Those who wish, can participate in the card swap.  I'll be back to show you some of the swaps I receive.  

Must run for now.  Have a great weekend and thank you for stopping by for a visit today!
