April Stamp Class

Hooray, my Stamparatus tool has finally arrived! For those of you who may not know what I'm talking about, this is the newest "must have" stamper's alignment tool for doing so many stamping
functions better, faster, and in multiples!  I'm planning on a class that will focus on many of its different functions and techniques soon, so stay tuned!

The first card for this month will use the Stamparatus doing one of the things it does best: two-step stamping.  No more guessing if the solid or line images will line up "this time", or having to make a special placement piece like before.  In just a few steps, you'll stamp the flower images and use 3 colors to fill the design in rapid succession, just like that!  Any level of stamper can now be an expert!  Isn't innovation wonderful?!

The yellow daisy card has a simple but unique layer that flips up from its gatefold base, and uses two different Designer printed papers together for a totally colorful look of many tones. Both this and the previous card are perfect for almost any occasion.  Just change out the word sentiments and you're set!

The silver and pink "cake card" is perfect if you love gorgeous, shiny bling!  The filigree foiled cake base, outlines on the flower printed paper, and even the satin ribbon are all shiny silver and super special!  Note the  silver striped vellum cut-out panel in the front, another unique layout that is easy to do but so effective. A perfect wedding, anniversary, or special lady's birthday card; it might be hard to give this one away.

Do you find it a bit harder to make "guy cards", or at least ones that are more serene and subdued? But the mountain scene in the last card is very satisfying to make with the assorted stamps in the set, plus there is the embossed wood grain back to coordinate with the white-washed wood on the bottom.  The little wooden leaf stem behind the knotted ombre ribbon is the perfect final touch for your special guy's birthday, perhaps Father's Day next month, or a sympathy/get well card. Sometimes special isn't glitzy, it's just tastefully sincere. 

So grab a stamping buddy, save the date, and come on by to check it all out!

March Techniques Class Reminder

Please note that the Deadline for the March Techniques and Fancy Fold class is Tuesday, Mar. 6.  This class will be so fun, I hope you've made plans to come and make these special interactive and unique cards that feature the creative new Stampin' Up! stamps, punches, dies, and more!  Don't forget to save your spot!

March Fancy Folds & Techniques Class

If you are looking for some really unique cards that feature some of the newest Stampin' Up images and papers, then this class is for you!  So grab your gear and get ready for some fun stamping!

The upper left card is a Pull Slider Card that features a little embroidery hoop "frame" on the front.  But pull the slider out, and the panel magically moves to conceal the original sentiment while revealing a new one!  The mechanism is rather hidden on this card, so it's fun to figure out how it's all made! Nothing is obvious, you'll just have to come and find out!

The lower card is a Waterfall Card, something we haven't made in class since 2013 but is perfect with the new Fruit Basket Punch set. Pull the tab to reveal the second, third, and fourth images, each adorned with the cutest little matching fruit piece that you will stamp and punch.  There is also a surprise sentiment inside that's perfect for all of us who are "over 25", just for fun!

The last card is all about partial die cutting and partial embossing.  Learn how to make the most out of your metal dies and embossing folders by using them in different ways that will set your cards apart!

As with all of my Technique Classes, printed instructions including measurements are included in your class. Be sure to mark the date, grab a stamping buddy, and come to class!
