February Stamp Class

It's February already, when most thoughts turn to those of love and stamping (or is it the love of stamping?)  In any case, I have some cards here that I hope you'll love to stamp, so come on over! Sale-A-Bration (SAB) is still going strong, be sure to choose your FREE item with each $50 order increment!

February class card fronts

The top left balloon card uses so many wonderfully coordinating stamps, inks, punches, Designer Papers, a new embossing folder, enamel dots, and fantastic glitter ribbon; all to make a card that's full of layers but still  a bit elegant too. Stampin' Up product coordination makes it all pretty easy to look so great!
The top right heart card, which continues using Designer Papers from the same pack, shows one way to use the beautiful Bloomin' Heart Thinlets die and stamps. With the cute little bow clip and pink Glimmer Paper accents, it's perfect as a valentine to your honey or a special card for a bride, wedding, or anything feminine and sweet.  There are many sentiment options available that will fit into the front banner and also inside to customize your needs.

(Inside details)

The "Just for You" card is a Free SAB stamp set and ties in very well with the Botanical Gardens Designer Paper, Botanical Framelits dies, and Botanical Blooms flower and leaf stamps.  I also added a piece of vellum from the Free SAB vellum prints pack to the side of this Z-fold card for just for another fun layer.

Since Chinese New Year will start soon, I decided to indulge in a "blast from the past" in making up the last card on the lower right from retired papers, stamps, and punches. There will be lots of alternative sayings so that you can wish someone a happy "year of the monkey" or just use it for a birthday, thank you, or thinking of you card.  It was so much fun to create the cute little Asian girl and lantern from the new SAB vellum prints as well as retired Designer Papers, stamps and other tools. I'll show you all my secrets to replicate them, and hope you'll love making it up as much as I did!

January 2016 Stamp Class

Don't look now, but 2015 is almost done, time to get ready for the new year!  With the brand new and marvelous Occasions Mini Catalog about to be released to you on Jan. 5, there's a lot to celebrate!  Filled with new dies and stamps in bundles plus great papers and accessories, it's going to be easy to order the minimum $50 or more to get the new Sale-A-Bration (SAB) Freebies (details below)!  SAB also starts on the same day, how thoughtful and convenient of Stampin' Up to begin these together so that we can all get FREE STUFF!!!  I've already been playing with some of the new things, see what fun I've been having both on the fronts and insides of this month's cards!

The top two cards are both made with the wonderful It's My Party Designer Paper Stack, containing 4 each of 12 great designs for all of those birthdays in 2016.  (If you don't need all 48 sheets in the Stack, be sure to check out the Accessories Pack below, where I break down all the supplies in class into more manageable sizes.) The fun surprise is when you open the first card to see the die-cut pop-up inside!  Easy to make and with other design options, it will be a favorite for sure. The second card uses the Free SAB stamp set Hello, and both feature the new coordinating black twine in two colors.

The lower left card uses some of the Botanical Builder Framelits, simply the best collection of dies I've seen yet!  So many different flower and leaves to combine, and don't you just love the long leaf border?  Of course it has its own coordinating stamp set and Designer Papers, and of course I had to get it all!  But since I did, I got the SAB Perfect Pairings word stamp set for free too! Yay!

The last card is much more subtle in design and color, but I love it too.  The beautiful Rose Garden die and SAB Flowering Fields stamps (Free!) would also be perfect for weddings, anniversaries, or other events.  It would be great to have multiples of this card made up ahead of time, as it's simple to do and could also be altered with different colors and patterns to go with the other sentiments in the coordinating Rose Wonder stamp set. (I'll show you a trick in class about gluing the partially overhanging rose diecut!)
