Love you card

Copyright Stampin' Up! 1990-2007

Ever make something to give away and then love the final product so much that you almost couldn't give it away??? If you are a stamper, you probably really know what I mean. This card was one of those "somethings".
I belong to an AWESOME on line group of stampers called ~We Stamp!~ The ladies on this group are not only seriously talented, but they are the sweetest sincere group of women you'll ever come across! One of the things the group does each month is host a one on one friendship swap. Every month there is three project ideas, and, whoever wants to, signs up. Then everyone is paired up and for that month you send each other one each of the three projects. Basically you get three amazing hand stamped projects in the mail that are guaranteed to put a smile on your face and brighten even the worst day!
So any way, this is one of the projects I made for the June swap. It had to be a masculine card. So I pulled out one of my old favorite Stampin' Up! stamp sets (All about U), tried hard to pick a "manly" color scheme and decided to finally use some of my new designer paper for Stampin' Up! (I tend to be more of a collector of patterned paper than a user... it's a sickness!LOL!) Anyway, here is the end result, and I really loved it!
...just in case you are wondering, my stamping friend DID indeed get it in the mail. Although, I do think I will eventually make a couple more!
Thanks for letting me share!
have a happy, blessed day!
Amy

Amy,
What an awesome card!! I totally know the feeling of not wanting to part with a favorite creation...I think we all feel that way sometimes. I'll have to look at the swap board to see who the lucky girl was!!
