August Stamp Class

With all the activities we have planned for August, I am happy to be able to squeeze in some summer stamping, even if it is a week ahead of our usual "second Friday" monthly schedule.  If you're thinking cool and floral, then you're going to be ready for what's to come!


The first three cards use the beautiful new Designer Paper, Whole Lot of Lovely.  The black background is quite striking against the multiple colors of the detailed flower bouquet that you'll be stamping, cutting, and layering.  It may look a bit complicated, but once it's all cut (in just one pass on the Big Shot), you'll see how easy it all comes together.  You'll also be able to select from multiple sentiments for the inside, as this card is very adaptable for many different occasions.

Looking at the blue floral card, don't you just love the detailed, wood adirondack chair?  I've also figured out a shortcut way for you to do the two-step stamping and die cutting for all three blue flowers at once -- you're going to love seeing how it works!  There's also a bit of shimmer on the blossoms as well as in the ribbon for those perfect final touches.

The orange/lemon card is both refreshing and a bit sassy, depending on which sentiments you use to complete the inside.  It's such fun to be able to choose just the right words for a special person who will be receiving the card .. if you can bear to give it away!

The last card really is "cool" in every sense, as it features frosty popsicles and a simple debossed but sparkly word as its focus.  I used some retired supplies (paper, ribbon, & glitter) because they fit together so perfectly with the design; and if you're like me, it's fun to do this and get great results! Stash-busting can add to our satisfaction in card-making along with the creativity of using the old to make something new!

July Techniques & Fancy Folds Class

I have are some really fun new card folds and techniques for you to try out this month along with one of my very favorite new Designer Series Paper Patterns, Oh So Eclectic.  The colors are just gorgeous and when you add at bit of sparkly bling, everything looks fantastic!

For the upper left gatefold card, I'll show you how to make a window using a die cut and then align the matching image up perfectly inside.  The soft colors, faceted gem center, and fancy cuts with dies and the  new Decorative Ribbon Border punch makes this one so appealing and pretty!

The 3-Tier Pull-Up Card on the right is sure to impress everyone who sees it, and it's really special when you can use beautiful coordinating patterned papers. We'll also makes great use of the new Circle Tab Punch, and of course its matching stamps fit perfectly!  There are lots of word options in the stamp set, come and see which ones are your favorites!

The last card on the lower left has glittery gem that is wonderful with the patterned paper and so eye-catching in person.  But the real fun happens when you slide off the belly band, and pull open the sides to pop open the dimensional "box" inside.  Wouldn't this be a perfect place to also include a gift card or paper money along with your best wishes for a truly memorable gift!
