January Fancy Folds Class

While I do love and appreciate all kinds of cards, simple to fancier ones, it's the creative ones with some kind of unique touch that get me excited.  This month's Fancy Folds class plus all the new stamps and accessories from the Occasions Mini really got my heart pumping, I hope you'll love it, too!

The Purse Fold card takes full advantage of the new pleated ribbon, which feels so rich and is flexible for curves and other applications.  This card is very dimensional and looks so real, the perfect place to tuck in a gift card to make it extra special if you can bear to give it away! 
You can send a very special thank you with the easel card that uses the new Labels Collection Framelits dies to both frame and pop the sentiment.  More pleated ribbon, plus check out the stamped, embossed, and die-cut edge, all new ways to complete the look of shaped curves on this card.
The fancy die-cut snowflakes on the last card are so appropriate for January, made with 4 different kinds of paper just for fun.  This double-dutch door card has a very unique opening and yet is quite simple to make.  And what a great place for my cute little penguin, riding on a wave of pleated ribbon; the perfect accent for this frosty card that will delight everyone who sees it!

All Technique classes include printed instructions with measurements and a mini sample for making the cards yourself at home.

July Stamp Class

July is always one of the most exciting months of the Stampin' Up year because the new Idea Book and Catalog is revealed! So many things are fresh and new, starting with the Pennant Parade stamp set and matching Petite Pennants Builder punch.  You'll love how easy it is to make lots of different themes and ideas, we'll be playing with this for months to come!  There are five new In-Colors now, and three of them are featured on the Love and Care twisted card that also has the new Lace Ribbon Border punch.  Wisteria Wonder is my favorite, so soft and versatile, I love this shade of purple.  The Delicate Doilies stamp set coordinates with the Triple Layer Doily punch (and others), how great is that?! Check out the texture on the "quilted' Thanks So Much card, next time I'll add more buttons and stitching for a really nice hand-sewing look. :)

April Techniques Class

I loved putting the April Techniques Class together for you, and hope you will really enjoy it too!  These are very special projects for those special people and times in your life. 

First is the Sliding Surprise Mother's Day card, featuring a "buttons and sewing" theme that pulls open to reveal two more panels, including a place to add your own sentiments.  The Easter basket is fashioned from one of the newest die cuts for the Big Shot, but maybe not one you'd expect to use!  Check out the cute little punched chick and egg on one side, and the cottontailed bunny on the other.  With itty Bitty Button accents, everyone who sees it will be just tickled! Then we have a beautiful sympathy card with both wet and dry embossing, which tells the receiver that your extra care and love is being sent along.  Each project includes printed step-by-step instructions with measurements and a mini sample on a 6"x6" card.
Tech Classes are popular, so be sure to save a spot for yourself and a friend soon. (I confirm all reservations.)
