August Techniques Class

If you love to make cards that are a unique and special, then the August Fancy Folds Techniques Class is for you!  You'll be making three very clever cards that are sure to "wow" you and that special recipient!  If you find it hard to give these beauties away, you can save them as samples and make more with the printed instructions and measurements that you receive with all of my Technique Classes.

The  Sliding Pop-Up Card on the left is one of my very favorite styles of motion-type cards.  Pulling up on the insert not only reveals the hidden message inside but also raises the front accent for better display.  The Ice Cream Cone die-cut card is very appropriate for these warm days of summer.  Full of sparkle and easy to assemble, you'll want to make more with all your favorite flavors!  The standing Dresser Card on the right is designed for a new baby here, but you can imagine how fun it could be with accents for any little girl, or even a big one!

Be sure to save a spot for yourself and another for a friend, you'll both enjoy it!

July Stamp Class Reminder

A quick reminder to you that the Deadline date to sign up for this month's Stamp Class is Tuesday, July 10.  There will be a Sunday class this month, hope you can come and stamp!

July Stamp Class

   With so many new stamps and accessories to play with, making this month's cards is extra fun, fresh, and creative!  Notice the new 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbons and Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper, (don't miss getting all the colors in this month's Accessory Pack below) and some new card designs; enjoy!

   Like the fresh strawberries that are so sweet and plentiful now, the versatile punched strawberries card is a triple treat: side-fold card, new embossed border design, and matching ribbons/papers.  Another white embossed lace border enhances the soft plum/pink/razzleberry tones of the crimped diamond card.  Any recipient will be delighted when they open the happy yellow birthday card with its twirling hat spinner along with the pierced and builder wheel accents.

  Finally, our pocket card uses all of the stamps from this month's best special: the limited edition Reason to Smile stamp set which can be yours for only $5, wood or clear! (See details below.)  This set will only be available through July, so get yours soon!

June Stamp Class Reminder

A quick reminder to you that Tuesday, June 5th, is the DEADLINE to sign up for the June Stamp Class which is coming up in only a few more days!  Don't miss the chance to see the brand new SU Catalog AND if you're a bargain hunter, you'll want to check out my  Retired Stamps and Acessories Sale tables!  Not only discounted, but no shipping or tax so you save even more!

(There is at least one person already interersted in Sunday, so if we can have at least one more then that class will be a "go"!)

June Stamp Class

With the new 2012-13 Stampin' Up catalog just available June 1, the picture of this month's cards isn't quite accurate at the moment since I don't have all of the new ribbons and stamps in my hot little hands just yet!  However, they will arrive before class time so you'll have everything to use then with updated samples.  Given this challenge, the cards this month are simpler, made with fewer supplies and steps. You might appreciate this if you don't have a vast assortment of materials on hand or simply not enough time or desire to add a lot to your cards. Our focus is on clean lines and the five new In-Colors just released: Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals and Summer Starfruit. And buying Accessory Packs will help you to be prepared for next time!
All SU stamp pads are now made with a firm foam base, as explained in the previous post, which you'll get to compare with the older style pads.  Not pictured here but irresistible are the new embossing folders and dies for the Big Shot, all of the colors of the new 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbons, cute little In Color Dahlias, and new word/sentiment stamps; they will be ready for your use when you come to class!

WANT A BARGAIN?  I'll also put out my collection of retired stamp sets and accessories including ribbons, which you can buy by the yard, all for sale at discounted prices!  Whoo-wee, so many goodies for you to choose from! (Retired items do not count toward free class minimum.)

Friday, June 8, 7:00 - 9:30 pm
Sunday, June 10; 2;00 - 4:30 pm (minimum 2)
DEADLINE to respond: Tues. June 5

Class Fee: $12 or FREE with $45 purchase.  Order $50 and receive the new Catalog for FREE also!
