Love what you do and share what you love – that’s part of the sentiment (if not the exact wording) of Stampin’ Up!’s Statement of the Heart, which features on the card that I’m sending to my “Eh” Team members this month. The “Eh” Team is the name of the group of demonstrators who have signed up with me or one of my team members. I know a lot of demonstrators put a lot of though into what to call their group, and truthfully I think I must have put some thought into it (this was a while ago…) but in the end, I think this name does reflect me, and my team! We are Canadian, hence the “eh”, and we are a team, and I am a child of the 80s…plus it’s tongue in cheek, which is how I approach most of life I think! So despite the team name, the cards are not goofy! (well, at least not these ones).
I used products from the Share What You Love suite from the Annual Catalogue. The Statement of the Heart stamp was available for a limited time a while ago, and I combined it with the background stamp from the Love What You Do stamp set and the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper. I used some of the Rich Razzleberry 1/4″ Velvet Ribbon on the corners to soften the hard lines of the design a little. The colour scheme is Mint Macaron and Tranquil Tide, taken from colours in the patterned paper.
The Stamparatus is great for creating a number of similar cards – the stamps stay on the plates, and then you change out the cardstock, ending up with images in the same position. If the inking was uneven, I was able to restamp and know it was in the exactly same spot.
If you’d like to become part of my “Eh” Team, you can get more information here: yamstamps.com/join or you can contact me directly with specific questions. My next Information Evening is scheduled for Thursday, February 7th at 7pm – you can RSVP for directions for this free event. In the meantime, I still have some cards to write and address!
