Lots of cards at stamping event!

I went to another awesome Stampin' Up event recently - wanted to share some of the projects, the card I made for it (lower right hand corner above with ice cream cones), as well as some of the other fun cards that other attendees shared.  

Hope these give you some ideas of what you can make with the Stampin' Up items that are available to purchase in my online store!
