My Very First Rubber Stamped Card ... created 7 years ago!

On Fridays, I like to post cards that I made with retired Stampin' Up! product. Today's card is very special to me. It is the very first card I stamped, and I did this at my friend's Stampin' Up! workshop back in 2002. I was "wowed" by the demonstrations of 2 step stamping, sponging using a mask, and watercoloring with blender pens. I had so much fun trying out all of the products!

My first SU! order consisted of the Fanciful Flowers stamp set, a package of Soft Subtles cardstock, and Perfect Plum and Pale Plum ink pads. I also split a package of blender pens and Stampin' Sponges with two of my girlfriends.

It's amazing what happened as a result of that party. One of the girlfriends that I brought to that workshop is now my upline! And my friend who held the workshop later joined my downline, and although she is no longer with Stampin' Up!, she is still one of my best customers.

Yup, this little Halloween card got us all hooked on stamping. I'm thinking of framing it and hanging it on my wall in my craft room (a.k.a. the Stamping Hut)!

Have a great weekend everyone!
