Daffodil Daydreams

Spring will be here in just a few days.  Daffodils have been blooming for a while now.  I love to see them pop up each year!  Did you know that daffodils symbolize new beginnings and rebirth?  It's the flower of second chances and new opportunities.  They are also said to be a symbol of good news.

Sooooo....I thought the cards pictured above would be the perfect ones to make at my first "in person" class in almost 2 years!!  As much as I have enjoyed posting videos, holding Zoom events, and hosting Facebook parties - I am ready to starting teaching "in person" classes in April.  These classes are suitable for all levels of stampers - including beginners.  (I promise!!!)

The good news is that you will make  ALL 8 CARDS in the photo above - for only $15.  (We usually only make 3 projects at my classes for the same price - but this is my way of saying "Thank you" for giving my in person business a second chance.  I hope you will agree that this is a great value; have you been to Hallmark lately?!!!  Plus, it will be fun to get together in person for a morning or afternoon full of stamping and fellowship!

Classes will be held at my house on:

Saturday April 9  10am

Sunday April 10     1pm

Please CLICK HERE or CONTACT ME to RSVP.  Class size is limited to 4 per session.  If you can't attend in person - I will have a "to go" option.

Hope to see you - in person - very soon!

Thanks for stopping by!

Missing in Action!

My stamping business was temporarily interrupted by the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics!   The photo above shows that I WAS stamping - but I was mostly working on past Paper Pumpkin kits while watching the Olympics.  I have a Paper Pumpkin subscription - and I love the projects inside (especially the EXCLUSIVE stamp set and stamping spot.)  But I always wait to see what alternate projects other people come up with - and then I never seem to actually make the kit!  I am going to TRY to keep up with the kits this year, as well as complete past kits that have been piling up.

I started with making the Christmas Card kits - trying to build up my stash so I can be one of those people who send cards out right after Thanksgiving - instead of waiting until the last minute - like I usually do!  Below are some of the kits that I put together - sometimes making them following the directions and sometimes changing them up a bit.

 Below are some cards that I made with extra supplies I had lying around.

All together I have made over 50 Christmas cards!  And I still have 10 months until Christmas to make a bunch more! 

If you would like more information about the Paper Pumpkin subscription kits CLICK HERE.

If you would like to get started on making YOUR Christmas cards - I would be happy to cut all the card stock and designer paper pieces - all you would need to do is stamp and assemble.  Just EMAIL ME to set up an appointment for a free consultation.

There are only a few days left to earn SALE-A-BRATION items with a qualifying purchase.  Visit my ONLINE STORE to see the products you could earn for FREE.

Awesome Otters - video tutorial

 

I asked my Facebook Followers for their help in making a card.  I asked them to choose between card stock colors, ink colors, embellishments, and where to place the greeting.  In this video I make the card using the winning choices.  This is an easy card for you to make!

Below is the card that I made using their suggestions (on the left) and the one that I originally made (on the right.)    

They chose Bermuda Bay card stock, Crumb Cake blends to color the otter, and the greeting at the top.  It was a tie between the Sea Glass and Pebbles embellishments - so I used the Sea Glass to make it different from my original card.  I liked the color of the Cinnamon Cider otter on my card - but the Crumb Cake Blends won by a landslide in the voting!  I put my greeting at the bottom - but I stamped it crooked!  So I stamped the greeting on a circle and placed it over my mistake.

Card Measurements:  

·         Bermuda Bay card base 5 ½ x 8 ½. score at 4 ¼

·         Basic White layer 3-7/8 x 5-1/8

·         Bermuda Bay ink; add to white layer using Blending Brush

·         Otter image is fussy cut from a Thick Basic White scrap and adhered to card front
