Retiring Stamp list is out!

If you've been holding off buying some stamps sets from the catalog until now, you should check the just released Retiring Stamps list to see if your favorites will disappear on after May 31!  You can click on the LINK TO MY WEBSITE to see the images and names together, or send me an email and I'll forward the complete list to you directly.

 (Note that with some sets, only the French or Spanish versions are being retired but not the English one.) 

April Techniques Class reminder

Please note that Wed., Apr. 11 is the Deadline to save your spot for this month's stamping class.
We will also potentially have a Sunday class on 4/22 if another person can come.
Bring a friend, hope you don't miss this one!

April Techniques Class

It's Spring, a great time for new beginnings and learning new techniques for fresh cardmaking!  We'll use the Stampin' Up Simply Scored board and its companion, the Diagonal Plate, which are indispensable tools that score precise creases for your cards and other projects. The Diagonal Plate can quickly make envelopes for those odd sized cards plus score unique folds that couldn't be done easily before.
In class we'll make a vellum envelope for our beautifully embossed (but over-sized) wedding heart card that's too gorgeous to hide in a standard envelope. The Summer Smooches card, which features designer paper and stamps that are a preview of new merchandise from the upcoming June 1 catalog, uses an Emboss Resist Technique with markers for big color impact.  We'll also make diagonal folds on the very clever kite card, sure to bring a smile to whomever you send it!
As with all my Technique Classes, you'll get written instructions with measurements for each project including 4 valuable charts for making multiple envelope sizes on with the Diagonal Plate.

Be sure to reserve a spot for yourself as well as a friend, you'l be glad you did!

March Stamp Class Reminder

Just a quick note that if you'd like to come to this month's Stamp Class, please be sure to let me know by the deadline date Tuesday, 3/6 so I can prepare your supplies.  There are openings for both Friday night and Sunday afternoon, grab a friend and come on by!

March Stamp Class

As you can see with all the bright colors, spring is here!  Well, at least in card making colors anyway. We may need some more rain, but inside we're ready for brighter days with sunny colors that bring a smile.  SAB will continue through Mar. 31, so don't miss the chance to choose any stamp set or accessory from the SAB mini catalog FREE with each $50 order along with your FREE Class! 

The two top cards use the cheerful Sweet Shop Designer Papers and matching Baker's Twine and brads.  The hearts and dots patterns are embossed and reversible card stock weight, imagine the projects you can make with them!

The birthday card features heart balloons made from FREE SAB Designer Papers and one of the FREE stamp sets, Elementary Elegance.  Making the "Happy Easter" card with the die-cut, double-sided flowers from the Blossom Builders Kit was so easy.  You'll have a choice of 5 colors and a matching colored mat when you make your card in class. 

Save a spot in class today and bring a friend, it will be fun!
