February class reminder

A quick note that the Deadline date to sign up for this month's class is Tuesday, Feb. 7.  Please let me know if you can come so that I can get everything ready for you, with Sale-A-Bration in full swing, it's going to be wonderful stamping fun! :)

February Stamp Class

 Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Valentine's Day!  

In thinking about Asian-themed cards, I came up with two very different styles and color schemes.  The multi-colored one on the left recognizes that this is the Year of the Rooster, but celebrates it in a rather untraditional way with the SAB (Sale-A-Bration) set Hey, Chick. You'll make your own "chicken wire" with the new Dynamic Embossing Folder, and also have the option to choose many other sentiments for the inside.
The beautiful blue tones and style of the "Chinese folding screen" is very different and fun to make.  You can create the matching envelope  shown that fits perfectly, or choose a security envelope that happens to have a blue lining which matches the card! Either way, it's a simple but elegant and unique card, a very appealing combination indeed.

Valentine's Day is another event that usually features the color red.  This year's new Sealed with Love set in the Occasions Mini has so many fun stamps and matching dies, the only hard part is trying to choose which ones to use.  I couldn't resist the mini envelopes and side heart/die border, and tried to also make good use of the Sending Love paper stack. All together, these items earned me another free SAB item -- hooray and happy dance!

The bottom right card is made from mostly FREE components including two SAB stamp sets and SAB Designer Paper.  In class you'll get to try out the new Watercolor Pencils, where I'll show you how wonderfully they blend and give you so much control over where and how you put down color.

Be sure to save your spot and come to stamp!

January 2017 Stamp Class

Brrr, it's cold outside! Happy New Year everyone and welcome to 2017!  With the new Occasions Mini Catalog starting on 1/4 and SAB to look forward to  for the next three months (a FREE SAB item with each $50 order), we have a lot to cheer about!
Our first card uses a pretty "cool" technique of stamping and embossing to get this special look of trees behind trees, plus a little snowy sparkle for fun!  So appropriate for our chilly days right now and perfect for a thank you note, get well, or to send to someone "just because".
The second card is even cheerier with bright colors and the new dragonfly die from the Occasions mini.  With just a touch of glitz and words that would fit most any occasion, it's one that card that you should make multiples of just to have on hand.

The last two cards are truly uplifting but in totally different ways.  While they each use the same new Lift Me Up stamp set, they will both bring a smile for vastly different reasons!  The balloon card would be great for just about anyone's birthday (and uses FREE printed SAB Designer Paper!), but the Melon Mambo pink card is, well, probably just for your closest female buddy! (Check out the Lift Me Up video HERE.)

I love all the cards and hope that you do too, so come on over and join us for class so that you can make yours! Free Occasions and SAB mini catalogs for all class attendees if you don't have one already!
