VSN Nights are the BEST!!!

I love VSN nights (virtual stamp nights) with my sister-in-law, Sarah. Even though we live Miles apart - get it, MILES :) (she's in Colorado Springs, CO) we've continued to spend time stamping "together" with our VSN's. We both have video cams and so we take turns putting together a craft item to be worked on together and then stamp/craft in real time as we watch each other on our screens. It's awesome! It so works!

Here is the latest VSN from last night - the swing card! Sarah did a great job in walking me through the various steps to achieve the right folds and cuts - great job, Sarah! I chose to use the Tart and Tangy set (I'm SO glad SU didn't retire this one or the matching paper!) I like the bright colors and cheerful images.

Here's the card in mid "swing" so to speak. WHHHHEEEEEE!

This is the "flip-side" of the card. Again, I kept my layout and accessories simple but liked the way it came out - a nice and clean design. I love the rub-ons - so easy to use and such a nice compliment.
These two are from when I did the vsn last. I think I've heard of this called the "diaper fold" although it probably goes by a few names. This was also featured fairly recently on a Martha Stewart website. When my mom was out recently, she used the cherry theme and I liked it so much, I made my own. Then Sarah suggested a handle of some sort - and this is what I came up with - would be fun with some candies or even small cards or gift-cards.

Here's the front of the pop-up card Sarah had us work on a couple weeks ago. I kept mine pretty simple on the front and inside.

Here's the inside of the pop-up card. I'm not sure if you can tell from the pic, but the flower on the left side bottom area sticking out and pops-up when you open the card.
