Card Trades are Fun - Especially When You Get a Hug!

I love when our FSJ family gets together for so many reasons. Mainly because the other Journey Coaches are a part of my extended family. I just love them all!

One of the things we can participate in is a trade. The trade for this month's gathering was a HUG TRADE!

It is said that "A card is a hug with a fold in the middle"...Well sometimes you just need a little hug...
A hug is the "signature" card for our Fun Stampers Journey group. They card base is the the size of an ATC (aka Artist Trading Card) 3 1/2 X 2 1/2.
It is a fun challenge to create cards with a smaller base.

The theme for this Hug trade was centered around a technique using re-inkers and the Whip Cream ink pad.

Stamp your image on to your cardstock base

Using re-inker of your choice, water brush
and fill in your stamped image, blending the Whip Cream ink
together

I am sharing some of the trades that I received at our gathering. I don't recollect the names of the traders, so if you are stopping by and remember, please let me know and I will make adjustments to the post.

This is my trade
The flower was stamped with the Whip Cream on to Black Licorice cardstock
then water brushed with Summer Days ink














It is always fun to see how the designated theme is used in so many different ways to create some great projects.

Hosting a Fun Stampers Journey Show is Fun, Rewarding, Educational and Easy = FREE

Hosting a Fun Stampers Journey (FSJ) Show is a FUN and REWARDING way to spend time with family and friends and learn new stamping and paper crafting techniques (EDUCATIONAL) as well as complete an EASY project that you can be proud of to take home.

Fun: 
Let's face it...It's just plain fun to get together with family and friends and share some good laughs. I can tell you from my own experience that it is especially fun to gather together and learn and create something new with others you enjoy spending time with.
When you host an FSJ show with me, I will demonstrate a fun technique, then you and your guests will be able to create a fun project that will be sure to make each of you smile. I supply all of the products. Together we can decide what type of project (theme) you would like me to prepare for you and your guests.

Did I say it would be fun?

Rewarding:
Hosting an FSJ show can be rewarding in many ways.

  • The rewarding satisfaction of completing a project you can be proud of
  • As the hostess you can be rewarded with FREE products (see Hostess Plan below)f
  • Even with very busy lives, this is the perfect opportunity and reason to have friends and family gather for an evening of fun and creativity - A great way to reward yourselves for all of the hard work you do on a daily basis.
Educational:
I love teaching all kinds of paper crafting techniques - It is my desire to assure that each attendee learns at least one new technique (even better if they learn more)during our time together.

Easy:

Hosting an FSJ show is easy -

  • As I mentioned, I supply all of the products needed to create a fun and easy project
  • You invite your family, friends, work colleagues and neighbors, etc. and also provide a "simple" munchie
Yes, the project will be fun and easy enough for true beginners and yet still be fun and creative enough for more advanced stampers and crafters. That's pretty easy peasy, don't you think?

Do you like to receive FREE stuff? I know I do... 
Hosting a Fun Stampers Journey show can give you an opportunity to earn FREE product - Whoo Hoo!
