April Stamp Class

Creating and giving colorful hand-made cards is always especially fun to do, but when there's a card that's just a little unexpected, it makes it even better!  For this month we're going for the bit of surprise, from unexpected use of tools, to design focal points, to openings that will truly delight!

April Stamp Class card fronts
Look at the tag's little pocket and punched bracket on the card in the upper left, both easily made by using a die and punch in ways not originally intended but so effective!  The blue tulip card on the upper right card has a die cut layered over its negative space in a similar layout, but swings over and flips down to open up in a really surprising way! Both would also make wonderful Easter or Mother's Day cards if you need a few extras.
The grand opening!

The "hoppy easter" card is so cute, with its layered flower, grassy edge, and colorful eggs.  It can also be easily be adapted to hold a gift card or small treat inside. But the biggest surprise comes with the birthday card.  It looks like a typical gate-fold style, but becomes a 3-dimensional easel card when opened, sure to add delight that special birthday celebration! Don't miss the chance to make these clever and delightful cards that are a step above the norm!

Wedding & Anniversary Stamp@Home Kit

Wedding & Anniversary Card Kit
Need some beautiful cards that are quick to assemble for an upcoming wedding, anniversary?  Or how about just a special event or person, like a Birthday, Mother's Day, Graduation, Get well, Thank You, or Thinking of You, etc., where you want to make a really nice presentation? These 4 cards could very well fit those needs, and making them is not only easy fun but very satisfying! With gorgeous ribbons, papers, beautiful embossing, and details like vellum, pearls, and daisies or roses, this Mini Kit also includes coordinating envelope liners that will really set off your hand-crafted cards.

"This Day Forward" is the Stampin' Up! stamp set (130384W/130387C) I used for the outside sentiments as well as stamping the inside for weddings and anniversary celebrations.  You could also use "Sweet Essentials" (132085W/126457C), Loving Thoughts (128436W/125845C), or other horizontal word set that would fit in the space provided.

The card samples will be available for viewing at the March Stamp Camp if you'd like see them in person. Some of the materials that are shown are in limited supply, so order early to receive the kit exactly as shown. (If a substitution is needed, I'll contact you about the details.)

March Techniques Stamp Camp!

Super cute set of drawers & notes with Stampin' Up Designer Paper
Instead of our regular Techniques class with 3 different cards, this month we'll be doing a special Techniques Stamp Camp where you will color-customize your own project!  First, you'll select 3 different Designer Series Paper printed sheets from my collection to make up the outside box and two drawers of this unique and super cute project.  With just a few clever score lines and cuts, you'll make your 3 1/2" box frame cube or drawers with just one piece of paper! You'll also choose a fourth sheet to make the matching envelopes to coordinate with the set of 4 cards which fit inside. The color combination is totally up to you, plus you can choose how to embellish your set of drawers with the new die-cut Stampin' Up! Spiral Flower Originals rose, a bow, or 2 types of layered flowers as shown. Some paper colors and patterns are limited, but I think everyone will find a combination that works very well for them.  Printed instructions and measurements are included so that you can make many more as you wish!
Reserve your spot today, and invite your stamping buddies!

(Construction requires the use of the Simply Scoring board and the Envelope Punch Board. If you have and can bring either/both of these tools, please bring them to class (labeled with your name) to ease the wait in using mine.)

DATES:
Friday, Mar. 14; 7:00-9:30 pm
Sunday, Mar. 16; 2:00-4:30 pm (minimum 2)

DEADLINE to save your spot: Tues., Mar. 11

Techniques Class Fee: $15 or FREE with any $45 order (but with $50, you'll get your choice of a FREE SAB* item, a better deal!  How can you resist?!)
