At the Sprinkled Ink Retreat last weekend, we participated in a Shoebox Swap, but that doesn’t mean we exchanged empty shoeboxes 😜

Each demonstrator brought a #simplestamping card (some were not so simple!) and had all the pieces cut and prepared for everyone else to make, in a box (about the size of a shoebox, hence the name). We passed boxes around the table and you would make one as it came to you. It was a **flurry** of activity for a few hours…

Who knew crafting could feel like a workout? We were exhausted – but happy stampers! – by the time we finished 15 cards.

For my card, I used the Berry Harvest Background stamp and a sentiment from the Apple Harvest stamp set.

Want to make this card? Here’s how simple it is:

1. Place background stamp face up and ink it with Soft Seafoam ink. Then dip a sponge dauber into Highland Heather ink and daub it onto the stamp where the berries are.
2. Lay a 3″ x 4″ piece of Soft Seafoam card stock on top of the stamp, cover it with scrap paper and rub to transfer the image.
3. Cut the stamped card into 1″ pieces on a paper trimmer and adhere in same order to front of Basic White 8.5″ x 5.5″ card using dimensionals, leaving a small space between each panel.
4. Stamp sentiment on white scrap in Highland Heather ink and adhere to right panel(s).
5. Add small bow of white twine on a glue dot.

Here’s a quick look at all the cards we created that night! WOW!
