Here are three more cards I made using the Floral Essence stamp set by Stampin' Up!  I have been having fun playing with this stamp set.  You can see some of the cards I made using this set by clicking HERE and HERE.  For these cards I knew I wanted to try using Mango Melody ink and card stock.  This is a color that has been around for an entire year - and I never used it!

This is my favorite of the three.  I used one of the floral images in the set and stamped it full strength using Mango Melody ink - and then stamped a second time without re-inking the stamp.  I used Garden Green ink to stamp the centers of the flowers, and to add leaves.

 These two cards are very similar.  I made the one on the left first - trying to keep it very simple for beginning stampers.  I thought all the green on the card looked a little plain - so I made another version where I stamped leaves on the green using Versamark ink.  When I did that - I thought the lacy piece made using the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch, was just a little too busy.  So I used a narrow strip of card stock instead.


If you would like to make these cards, or any of the other ones that I posted earlier this month - please CONTACT ME to arrange a private class for you and/or your friends.

Crafty Desk Caddy

How cute is this little desk caddy?!  It will hold all kinds of adhesive, and even your paper snips and bone folder.   It's not quite finished - I still have to add a little label on the front - but you get the idea.  We will be making this project when my regular stamp classes begin again.  I've taken a little break from teaching stamp classes as I adjust to my husband and I both being retired.

HOWEVER - I decided to have a GET 'EM DONE! class on Thursday, June 20.  Come on over to my house and help me GET 'EM DONE!  I have a wide selection of extra cards from past classes and events, as well as Paper Pumpkin kits that are just waiting to be put together!  You will make at least 6 cards for only $10. You choose the cards you want to make! There will be cards for every occasion, even Christmas!  All I ask is that you make cards in pairs - so that you can complete them within the class time.  You can make more than the 6 cards (if time allows) for just $1 per card!

Class info:

Tuesday June 20 - Choose the time that fits your schedule.  Class size is limited so RSVP early.

10 am - noon

2 pm - 4 pm

7 pm - 9 pm
