Fabulous Fall Colors Stamp@Home Kit

Fabulous Fall cards to make and give!

I've always loved the rich colors of fall as the leaves turn, and wanted to include those regal tones in this very versatile card kit. Sometimes it's easier to make bright birthday or a more feminine-styled designs, but these are especially appropriate for other occasions such as masculine birthdays (omit half doily, as on the right side), sympathy, thank you, get well, etc. where you want a more subtle but still warm feeling.

The printed Designer Papers for the cards and classy envelope liners can be assembled  in a monotone color scheme as shown on the left, or mixed in 2- or 3- color combinations as seen with the other cards. You can seal the mini envelope on the front as simply a decorative accent, or add a monetary gift, picture, or a personal note on the small blank cards which are included. I've used the Stampin' Up! set Banner Banter to label the small banner tags, but other small stamped words will also work. While these cards would be very handy to have around when you need them, they would also be great as a special handmade gift for someone who would appreciate your creative efforts!

(Designer Papers shown are in limited supply and may not be available, but papers provided will be in the same patterns and warm, rich tones.)

Please specify 5 envelopes colors: White, Crumb Cake, or Combination (of both)

• Unassembled 5 Cards-Only Kit = $10.00* 
• Assembled 5 Cards-Only Kit = $13.00*
• Banner Banter Stamp set = $13.95(Clear) or $17.95 (Wood) mount, plus tax and shipping

*May not be combined with monthly Free Class offer.

September Techniques Class reminder

Just a last reminder that the Deadline date for this month's Technique class is Thursday, Sept. 4th.  Please be sure to let me know if you and any friends can make it, we'd love to have you join us!

September Techniques & Fancy Folds Class

Technique Cards opened, yay!

Technique Card, closed

With the kids going back in school, it's only fitting that we learn some new things this month too, but ours will be only fun!  If you've been reading this stamping blog or attending my classes, you know that I love to make cards that are a bit different, especially ones that have a bit of a surprise!

The first die-cut card is obviously a camera, but opened it becomes either a mini scrapbook album (so appropriate!) or a multi-page card with all of your good wishes plus a pocket for a gift card or paper money! I've included pics of my grandson's 3rd birthday, imagine what you could do for someone special to you. Vacation pictures would also be fun, you could add more fold out pages to include a lot of them!

I'm especially tickled with the next one, which quietly lies flat in its standard sized envelope.  When opened up, it becomes very 3-dimensional, and you can add a number of different elements to make it really pop! We're using the cute Kind Koala stamp for great versatility here, but imagine what you can add to make a fun surprise for a birthday, anniversary, new baby, or other celebration!

The final Box-Top Card gives you lots of different squares to decorate on the front and a nice place to include another gift card pocket inside if you wish.  I'll also include  measurements so that you can choose other options to change the size and colors of the card base, so fun to do with your different colors of card stock and Designer Series papers!

As with all my Techniques Classes, printed directions with measurements are included with the class.

Be sure to come, you and your stamping friends won't want to miss this!
