"Summer Treats" Stamp@Home Kit

Summer Treats Stamp@Home Mini Kit

Here are some really cute die-cut cards that include some of my favorite summer treats--an orange Popsicle, an ice cream sandwich, a chocolate dipped strawberry, and a triple scoop ice cream cone! These fun and very different cards are quite easy to put together since all the shapes are cut for you, but have lots of flexibility when you need to give them away (if you can!) for birthdays, thank you's, thinking of you, or "just because"!  I've used the Stampin' Up! set called Label Something (130595W, 130598C), but many other stamps will work as well.  Note that classy matching envelope liners are included with each card; I love them all and so will you!

The card samples will be available for viewing at the August Stamp Class if you would like to see them in person.  Some materials as shown are in limited supply, so order early to receive the kit exactly as pictured.

July Class Reminder, and a twine storage trick

Just a Reminder that the Deadline to save your spot for this month's Stamp Class is tomorrow, Tuesday 7/8. Also note that I'm changing the time for the Sunday, 7/13 Class back 1 hour, it will be 3:00-5:30pm, minimum 2 attending needed to hold the class.  Hope you can come and play!

Storing twine in SU boxes

I've seen a clever idea on storing your Baker's Twine and the new Thick Twine in empty Stampin' Up boxes, and it's truly neat!  Regular Baker's Twine comes wrapped around a card which causes it to have "dents" in it when wrapped around the edges, and the Thick Twine that is now available comes on spools without edges, so it tends to fall off the ends.  Storing twine or even ribbons in these boxes keeps everything neatly in place, plus they are stackable for tidy storage.

Just take an empty box that comes with  buttons, clips, etc. and make a 3/16" hole into the side with your Crop-a-dile punch, it's super easy.  Wind the twine around two fingers, put it into the box and thread the twine from the INSIDE of your winding through the hole, then snap on the cap. Your twine will pull out very easily, yet can be pulled back inside and kept neat and ready for you.   (I've labeled mine with the order number and yardage from the original card so I can keep track.)  I've seen some people make little spools for the inside of the box, but I find my way is easier and simpler to use.
Don't you just love recycling and finding great new uses for leftover things!?

If you are coming to Stamp Class and don't have a Crop-a-dile to punch holes, just bring your little boxes and you can borrow mine to do that.  :)

Hope you can make it!

July Stamp Class

July Class card fronts

    This month highlights some "different" card openings and one of the new Specialty Designer Series Papers now available from the just released Stampin' Up catalog. So many new colors, stamps, and embellishments, let's get started!

Top cards opened

    The "bride and groom" card is really fun to make, featuring some beautifully embossed texture on the dress, a dapper looking tuxedo, and just the right amount of gold and glitz. The birdhouse card is a perfect match for the sweet little Hostess Set called "Hello Love".  (You can only get this set with Hostess Dollars, so add up your orders, grab some stamping buddies, and have a stampin' party either in person or as a "catalog" type.  Ask me for details.)

The Gold Soiree Specialty Designer paper has subtle touches of gold on each of the 6 designs, giving your card a feeling of elegance without going too overboard.  Each of the two bottom cards uses some of the most versatile word sets ever (IMHO), and you'll be able to use these two card designs for almost anything by just changing out the sentiment.

New stamps and and accessories plus punches, dies, fringe scissors, and many other "gotta have'em" tools are used throughout the class, come and try them all out!
