August Class: Stamp a "Designer Dozen"; Bonus Days almost over!

In line with the #SimpleStamping trend going on, we'll be doing a Simple Stamping event this month where you can make a whole set of 12 cards in different Designer Series papers very quickly and easily! I've created these Designer Dozen cards to be fast and simple to make, but because of the paper mix, they don't all look the same! There are 3 different layouts, each arranged in 2 color different groups, showing 12 different paper patterns (or up to 24 different patterns if you flip the paper! 

Unlike my usual SAS (Stamp-a-Stack) events, you don't have to decide how many of each design to make, but can instead choose from a variety of sentiments or focal stamps for each card layout while you are assembling them.  The photos show some of the possibilities, plus I'll also have other stamps available to you from my inventory for both the front and insides as the size permits. Note how changing the card orientation also alters its final "look" for even more variety!

For this event, I've chosen to use papers from a retired 6"x6" Designer Paper stack with small patterns so that the cards coordinate by color and style if you decide to give groups of them as hand-made sets. 

This is a great opportunity to make up a stash of cards to have on hand even if you haven't stamped for awhile, or to invite a stamping buddy to come and join in the fun! But space and (some) papers are limited, so RSVP as soon as you can to save your spot(s)!

                                    Tuesday, Sept. 17 for 9/20 and 9/22 classes

Host Code = RBP99HJS (to use when ordering online; your total will apply towards the Discounted Class Fee or receiving a hand-stamped gift from me.  Your order ships directly to you, contact me if you have any questions.)

July Techniques Stamp Class

As we continue to try out all the new stamps, dies, and papers from the new Annual Catalog, I created these cards that are "a step up" from the norm, and love them!  Each one seems to really showcase the stamp design and will be hard to give away, so you'll want to consider making more than one just for yourself!

The upper left card features the new Medium Daisy Punch and Daisy Lane stamp set, which can be doubled up over the existing Daisy Punch to give you this fun, full flower!  But pull the ribbon tab, and you'll get an extra surprise layer as the front flap flips "magically" open! Green ferns complete the flower and background, as well as add to the blank inside card (not shown) where you can add whatever personal message you wish.

The new Magnolia Lane Bundle is already a show-stopping stamp and die set, but once it's put into this Diamond Easel card, it's really special! Stamping Blends are used to (easily!) ink up the large bloom and leaves in a watercolor fashion, which is set against Tin Tile embossing and a pretty sheer bow. But opening the card reveals a coordinating dimensional flower that is also die cut and then sponged, perfect for holding up the point in "easel" fashion for display!  Multiple sentiments are possible and will be available for the inside of this truly gorgeous  5 1/2" square card.

The bottom card has a fun tulle shaker window, which might look rather complicated but is actually the easiest card of the bunch to make.  Glittery sequins and mica flakes "float" in the window along with tiny die cut butterflies for a unique effect.  Another beautiful sheet of Perennial Essence Designer Paper dictates the dramatic color scheme, but you can imagine that this design would also be fun in bright summery colors too!

As with all of my Techniques Classes, all measurements and instructions are printed for you so that you can duplicate these very special cards yourself again at home.  Save the date and bring a stamping buddy, you'll love it!
