From All of Us

The director of the preschool where I work asked if I would make a card for the daughter of a former teacher at our school who is fighting breast cancer.  I used some pieces from October's Paper Pumpkin kit to make the leaves and small tag on this card.  The card base is a full sheet of Crumb Cake  card stock folded in half - so there was plenty of room inside for everyone to write a personal note.  I stamped the leaves on the card base using Crumb Cake ink.  The strip of paper along the side of the card is from the Painted Harvest Designer Series Paper.  All products are from Stampin' Up!  The "Thinking of You" stamp is retired - but one of my all time classic favorites.

Here is the inside - I stamped some leaves and a verse from the Rose Wonder stamp set on Whisper White card stock and attached to the inside of the card, before I passed it around for everyone to sign.  I hope it will help her to know we all care about her and are praying for her.

Woodland Embossing Folder Technique

This is a card that we made last fall in my stamp club classes.  (I'm trying to catch up on posting my past stamp club projects!) This was a card that my stamp club members really enjoyed making.  I even made a video to show how we made this card.  You may be surprised how easy it is to make.

CONTACT ME if you would like information about my classes and stamp clubs.  I have classes coming up this weekend and still have space in Saturday's class.  I am always looking for new people to join the fun!

August (!) Stamp Club Projects

Hopefully I will get caught up with all my posts before the New Year.  Then I can make my annual resolution to keep my blog updated!    These are the projects we made in August.  We usually make two cards and one 3D project at my stamp club classes.  It gives everyone a chance to try Stampin' Up! products and learn new techniques - while having fun being creative!  Stop back to learn a little more about each project.

Bingo Projects

Below are the  projects we made at our Bingo event on World Card Making Day.  Everyone made 4 cards - two each of two different designs.

This is the card that I designed for our first Bingo project.  The two leaves and the acorn stamps are from an incentive stamp set that is only available to Stampin' Up! demonstrators.  The other stamps in the set were given away as a BONUS prize for the first 10 people who signed up and paid for the event.  Below are two other greetings stampers could choose from when making their cards.  

These cards were made using Crumb Cake card stock.  I used Crumb Cake ink to stamp the "splatter" using a stamp from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.  I also used Crumb Cake ink to sponge the Very Vanilla strips.  The little wooden pieces were on the CLEARANCE RACK earlier in September.  

Below is the second card that we made at Bingo.  It was designed by my team mate, Anna.  

This card was made using the Lovely as a Tree stamp set - one of the most popular sets in the Stampin' U! catalog - and probably the oldest!  The trees were stamped using Versamark ink and then heat embossed with the NEW copper embossing powder.

Check back to learn how a MISTAKE - turned into something that everyone wanted on their cards!

Happy Scenes

At my October stamp club classes, my stampers chose to make one of the following cards:

I like to give my stampers a choice - so that they make a card they like and will (hopefully) use.  All of these cards were made using the Happy Scenes stamp set by Stampin' Up! This stamp set has a lot of images and greetings for the fall and winter holidays.  WARNING - it will be retiring soon - so if you want it, you better buy it before it is gone!  You can save 15% when you bundle it with the Hearth & Home Thinlits Dies.

Among the Branches Bundle

At my September stamp club meetings, my stampers chose which of the following cards they wanted to make.  All three cards were made using the stamp set Among the Branches and the Woodland textured impressions embossing folder from Stampin' Up!

This first Halloween card was sent to me by my upline, Susan Elise Morton. You may not be able to see it in the photo, but the trees have a touch of glitter along the edges.

Below is an Autumn card using the same stamp set and embossing folder.

 And here is the Christmas card.

 You can purchase the stamp set and embossing folder together in a bundle for only $21.50 (item #140872.)  That is an awesome price for supplies that you can use to make cards for three holidays.

September Stamp Club Projects

My October stamp club classes are coming up this weekend, so I think it's about time that I show you what we created at our September classes!  We usually make two cards and one 3D item.  But I had so many new products and a cool technique for everyone to try out - so everyone made 3 cards this month (and no 3D item.)

Everyone made a Gate fold card (either Halloween, Autumn, or Christmas theme), a card using the new Woodlands Embossing Folder (choice of same themes) and a card using the Bokeh technique..

I think everyone enjoyed making these projects.  If you missed club, or are not a regular attendee of our monthly gatherings, then CONTACT ME to arrange a private class for you and a few friends!
