I'm TRYING to Bring Birthdays Back!

These are two cards that I sent to friends in July in my quest to "Bring Birthdays Back."  Do you miss receiving a hand addressed envelope in the mail?  And something that's not a bill or a piece of junk?!  I know I was excited each time I found such an envelope in my mailbox for my birthday!

I have been making cards (and teaching others how to do it!) for over 8 years now, and I am probably the WORST at NOT sending them!  How silly is that?  A few weeks ago I took the challenge and joined the movement: #imbringingbirthdaysback.   CLICK HERE to learn about the movement!

If you would like to receive a card from me on your next birthday - just E- MAIL ME your birthday and mailing address.

If you would like to join the #imbringingbirthdaysback  movement - then you need to join me at a stamping event and start creating cards that you can send to your family and friends!

More Drapery Cards

In an earlier blog post I showed you the Drapery Cards I made as samples for my June stamp club classes.  I encouraged my stampers to be creative when making their cards, and below are some of the creative cards that my club members created.

I am always amazed at the creativity of my stampers!

Drapery Cards

Below are three cards using the Drapery Fold technique.   We made these cards at my June stamp club meetings.  (Yes, June; I am a little behind posting my projects!)  These cards are a great way to showcase Stampin' Up!'s fabulous Designer Series Paper. 

For the two cards pictured above, I cut the paper a little differently and made more folds in the paper.  These cards were made using the same DSP - with different sides of the paper showing.

Paper Pumpkin July 2016

Another fun Paper Pumpkin kit arrived in my mailbox!  Watch the video to see what I will probably be making for our next BINGO favors!

If you are not signing up for Paper Pumpkin because you want to make cards only - there are always TONS of ideas online for other ways to use the supplies in each Paper Pumpkin kit.  Below are a few photos that show how cards were made (using a few additional supplies) from this month's kit.

My Birthday Bash with Breakfast and Bingo

Today is my birthday!  I celebrated over the weekend doing one of my favorite things - stamping!  I hosted my 4th Annual Birthday Bash, this year with Bingo!   It was a busy morning and I didn't get to take photos of everything that I wanted to!  This is a "cake" I made using Hershey's Nuggets.  It went home with another birthday girl, Lynne, whose birthday was the day before.  She is one of my good friends and Stampin' Up! team members.

We started our morning with breakfast (no photos) and then we got right into playing  Bingo and drawing names for door prizes.  Our first winner was Debbie, who also won the first door prize.  She also won the jackpot game - which was a $120 gift certificate for Stampin' Up! merchandise.  Must be why she has such a big smile!

Debbie takes turns bringing her grandchildren with her to Bingo, and today it was Tim's turn.  He won one of the Bingo games, and I see chose the big candy bar as his door prize!

Below is Lisa with her Bingo prize.  This was the third time I hosted Bingo - Stampin' Up! style, and Lisa won a prize at all three events!

I'm sorry to say that I don't know who won the 4th game of Bingo!  I was busy cleaning up and didn't get to see who won - I'm guessing it was Debbie!  It certainly was her lucky day!

The day was full of surprises, and everyone went home with the birthday cards they stamped, a door prize, and a surprise gift for everyone.  Check back to see the stamping projects we made.

The next Bingo (Stampin' Up! style) will be on Saturday, October 1st.  Save the date!  I am still working on details - registration will begin in August.

My regular stamp classes will be held this weekend.  CLICK HERE for more information and to RSVP.  Space is limited to 6 at each class, so please RSVP to get your preferred spot.  We make the same projects at all sessions.
