Stamp A Stack #2 October 13th and 14th

Stamp A Stack events are 16 cards for $22, and you need to provide your choices (please use the bolded, colored names I gave the cards) with your RSVP by Tuesday, October 11th at 7:00 p.m. Prepayment is typically required for a Stamp A Stack, so you will need to pay even if something comes up unforeseen for this class. (There will be a time for you to come stamp them before Christmas-we can work it out.)

Golden Vanilla Season

Cherry Cobbler Star

Flakey the Snowman

Stocking and Roses Pocket Card

You can add a ribbon and round tab punch top to the pull out portion if you'd like, but I liked the clean look-not sure why.  You can add a notch for a wallet size picture or gift card in this one.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Elmer the Elf



October Technique Class-Thursday, October 6th at 6:30 p.m. or Friday, October 7th at 6:30 p.m.

Join me for Technique Class and make 4 projects for $10 (free for 6 month/$25 Stamp Club members or with a $50 order and $5 for my downline or with a $25 order)  Lots of variety this time!

We'll make this wreath card using the Big Shot:

This bat, created using the Petal Cone Die and Spider Web Embossing folder, was designed by Shelli Gardner, Stampin' Up! co-founder. I think he's adorable!

This little turtle is a tilt card that moves from side to side for fun.

Finally we have the Epsom Salt Technique shared with me in a swap by my friend Kim Bolzenthal:

Christmas Stamp A Stack #1 September 22 at 6:30 or September 23 at noon? or September 24 at 1:00 p.m.?

Stamp A Stack events are 16 cards for $22, and you need to provide your choices (please use the bolded, colored names I gave the cards) with your RSVP by Tuesday, September 20th at 7:00 p.m.  Prepayment is typically required for a Stamp A Stack, so you will need to pay even if something comes up unforeseen for this class. (There will be a time for you to come stamp them before Christmas-we can work it out.)

The price does not include rhinestones or pearls shown as it is too difficult to predict the number I would need to order.  You should have plenty if you order just one pack and there's plenty of time before Christmas to order some for your cards. You may even see other spots to embellish that I hadn't imagined.

The Mistletoe card uses a simple mistletoe image from the Easy Events Stamp Set with Riding Hood Red, River Rock and Soft Suede as well as the Petals-a-Plenty Poinsettia embossing folder....The tiny pearls in the corner are optional and would need to be ordered and added by you after the event.

Next, we have "Over the Hills of Snow". There is a lot of tearing on this card, but very little stamping....The Black StazOn is actually reflecting the light...it stamps nice and dark with the freshly inked Black Stazon pad.  (This striking card was CASEd from the Stampin' Up! Convention boards.)

This is a Nativity Card that uses Stampin Addicts Sketch Challenge 109 (SASC109) with the Petals A Plenty Embossing Folder.

This Star and Crown card is quick and easy!

This Come to Bethlehem Night Sky card was CASEd from the convention boards, but I didn't add glitter to the sand dunes as that stamper did.

This Always Artichoke Tree card is embossed in gold and features the new Velvet Vanilla ribbon...It was very influenced by a card by Jennifer Timko.  However, the sentiment label was created by shrinking the Decorative Label punch by punching it twice (at the top and bottom of the sentiment)....I saw the idea to create a smaller sentiment label on Patty Bennett's blog with credit given to Janine Tinklenberg and Wendy Weixler.  I just did the same thing using the long side instead to accommodate the large Merry Christmas in the Merry and Bright set.
This card requires cutting the edge from all four sides of this embossing folder layer.

This Stocking Card has the lovely Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Series paper as an accent.

September QUICK Class Thursday, September 15th at 6:30 p.m. or Friday, September 16th at noon.

September Quick Class (our last until January or February) will be on Thursday, September 15th at 6:30 p.m. or Friday, September 16th at noon.  Four simple cards for $5.  I think these projects provide a nice variety of peppy and fall-themed items-I hope you do too. :)

The first card uses the Button Buddies set and the lattice die (which will look more even--I wanted to have this ready to photograph, but only cut out the shape for this card.)

These loosely stamped 2-step leaves are from the Gently Falling set, and I used Stampin' Addicts Sketch Challenge 109 for the layout.

I think this little snail is cute, and of course there is a Happy Birthday Wishes stamp on the inside.

Finally, this monster bookmark was CASEd from a convention swap I received, but I can't find the demonstrator's name...Many apologies!



September Technique Class and Stamp Club Thurs., Sept 1 @ 6:30 and Fri., Sept 2 at noon

Technique class is four cards for $10, or $5 with a $25 purchase or for my downline, or Free for Stamp Club members.

I learned this fun way to stamp only on the embossed portion of the striped embossing folder from Janine Tinklenberg at Stampin' Up! Convention. I really enjoyed making a card with the technique, and I think you will as well!

Another wonderful Convention presentation was made by Mary Ellen Byler...I loved the numerous beautiful elements she added to her card!  It was a jaw-dropper for me...So I ~had~ to CASE it...I didn't have the sets she used so I used the set Creative Elements and changed to another In Color....from Wisteria Wonder to Calypso Coral for this card. (You can see a printed picture of her card behind mine.)

We'll also make this Moon Pie Ribbon Slider which makes a fun Treat for a teacher or friend. We'll use the Poppin' Pastels/Chalboard technique as well as masking and heat embossing with Wild Wasabi embossing powder.

If you’d like to make an extra Moon Pie holder (they’d make great teacher or special spooky friend Treat), please let me know asap. You can make them for my cost (I haven’t yet bought the moon pies yet-we're at $1 so far.) rounded up to the nearest .25 cents.

We needed an easy one for the last project, but I think it is really nice because I LOVE the Spice Cake Designer  Series Paper.  It features 2-step stampin' and Rock N Roll.

August Quick Class Thursday, Aug. 18th at 6:30 and Friday, Aug. 19th at Noon

These cards are quick, but have some interesting ideas I think.  I hope you'll join me soon for Quick Class....Four cards for $5!

The Pennant Parade Stamp Set makes an easy BABY card, and I'll show you how to get colored polka dots using your polka dot embossing folder.  It may not be the way you expect... :)

This card uses the MOJO203 sketch, and has coloring with pastels using both a blender pen and an aquapainter.

This bright butterfly card is a CASE of a much more subdued card by Lisa Young....the focus on dsp is the same though.

Card Four is this homemade butterfly embossing plate and Streaking card...I hope you enjoy it.
