Will You Be My Valentine?

These are two of the cards that we will be making at my class on Thursday night, February 6, at the Rokeby Center in Chesapeake, VA.  The card on the left was made using supplies from my January Paper Pumpkin kit.  The kit makes ten 3"x3" cards and 20 treat bags.  I didn't need all those treat bags - so I went searching on Pinterest for alternate ideas, and love what I found!

The card on the right was inspired by a card that I pinned a few years ago - and uses retired Washi tape, a retired "love" die, and a retired heart punch.  It's hard to tell, but one of the hearts was punched from silver foil paper.

I'm not selling anything today - except the opportunity to have a fun night being creative!   This is a great class for beginners - because everything will be prepped and ready for you!  We will make a total of 4 cards.  I'm sure you can think of 4 people who would love to know that you love them or are thinking of them.  Or use the cards for weddings or anniversaries.

You can sign up for this class at any Chesapeake Rec Center, or register online HERE.
Invite a friend to join you.  If you have any problems registering - please let me know!

January 2020 Stamp Class Cards

 I had my stamp classes over the weekend and these are the cards we made.  Get a closer look at them by watching the short video below.

Here's a closer look at the inside of the "fancy fold" cards.


To make these cards:

• Start with a quarter sheet of card stock (4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches) for the base of the card.  I used Flirty Flamingo card stock for the card on the left and real red for the card on the right.
• Cut a coordinating piece of card stock for the mat behind the white part of the card.  For the card on the left, I cut Real Red card stock 3 1/4 x 4 1/2.  For the card on the right, I cut Flirty Flamingo card stock 4 x 5 1/4  Choose the look you like!
• Cut a piece of Whisper White card stock 4 1/4 x 9 3/4 and score the long side at 3 1/4 and 6 1/2
• The Designer Series Paper is cut at 3 x 4 
• Decorate the panels using the Die Cut shapes from the Be Mine Stitched Dies and Meant to Be stamp set

CONTACT ME if you would like me to show you how easy it easy to make these cards!

Paper Pumpkin 2019: Year In Review

Watch this short video to see what appeared inside each month's Paper Pumpkin kit during 2019.  These kits get better and better every year.  Each kit contains a stamp set, ink spot, and all the supplies you need to make the projects plus lots of leftovers to use for other projects.  What a great value at only $22 each month - shipping included!  Your first kit will also contain a clear block.

Most kits contain greeting cards but they could also contain small treat containers or home decor items.  The exact contents of the kit is a surprise each month - BUT Stampin' Up! now gives us some details about what's inside.  If you think you do not want a particular kit - you have until the 10th of the month to suspend that month's shipment.  You won't be billed that month - and the kit will not be shipped to you.  The next month's kit will be delivered as usual - unless you ask to skip another month.

More Music from the Heart

I just can't get enough of this stamp set.  Here are three more cards that I made using the Music from the Heart stamp set.  This set was designed by a Stampin' Up! Million Dollar Sales Achiever, Dawn Olchefske, and these are cards that she designed using the stamp set.

This card (above) is the easiest of the cards to make - I just stamped the treble clef and some musical notes onto the card front.  The ink colors I used are: Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, and Grapefruit Grove.  Then I stamped "happy birthday" onto a scrap of Grapefruit Grove and Daffodil Delight card stock.  I cut the words apart using my new mini trimmer from Stampin' Up! and adhered them to the card front. 

 I used the same colors to punch balloons using the Balloon Builder punch, then I stamped on the balloons with Memento black ink.  I stamped the music notes on Whisper White card stock using Grapefruit Grove ink, and used Grapefruit Grove card stock for the card base.  I adhered the balloons to the card using dimensionals and added twine, then added the "happy birthday" sentiment.

This card got the biggest reaction when I shared it at a recent team meeting.  The records are made  using  1 1/2 inch, 1/2 inch, and 1/16 inch punches.  I stamped the guitar (in two steps) on Bermuda Bay card stock - and cut it out with scissors. I popped it up using mini dimensionals and added the "YOU ROCK!" sentiment.

Music From the Heart

Here are several note cards that I made using the Music From the Heart stamp set.  This set was inspired by Million Dollar Sales Achiever, Dawn Olchefske.  Most of these designs are a direct copy of the cards she presented on On Stage.  

After a few inky mistakes when stamping directly on the note cards, I decided to stamp on a piece of white card stock first. That way I didn't let a little smudge ruin the entire card.  I could just turn the white piece of card stock over and stamp again. I layered a red or black mat behind the stamped images.  I think the mat add a little something to the cards.  

Finally, I made a cute box for storing the cards.  Wouldn't this make a great gift for the musician in your life?  

To make the cards, start with a package of Stampin' Up note cards.  Cut black and/or red card stock 3 1/4 x 4 3/4 inches to make mats.  Cut white card stock slightly smaller at 3 1/8 x 4 5/8 inches.  Stamp the images on the white piece, adhere to the mat, then adhere to the note card.  Super easy - and I think the red/white/black is stunning!  

CONTACT ME if you need more information or if you want to arrange a private class to make these cards with your friends!
