All Occasion Card Class

I held two card classes last week and thoroughly enjoyed stamping with some wonderful ladies.    My favourite part of my job as a Stampin' Up! Demo is spending quality stamping time with others who enjoy crafting too.   For the All Occasion Card Class, we completed six cards.   The ladies did a fabulous job.   I will post three of the projects today and the remaining three will be posted on Sunday.   Here we go ...

This card was a partial CASE from Jessica Woitas.   I found her card on our SU demo site, Stampin' Connection, but do not have a link to her blog.   Thank you Jessica.    I absolutely love the new Designer Builder Brads!!

SUPPLIES:

Paper:   basic gray, whisper white

Ink:   basic gray

Stamps:   Well Scripted (retired)

Accessories:   big shot, Hearts a Flutter framelits, perfect polka dots, elegant lines and lacy brocade textured impressions embossing folders, basic gray two tone ribbon, designer builder brad, large basic pearls

A clean and simple card!!   This was a total and complete CASE from "sarsam" which I found on Splitcoaststampers.   Once again, I do not have a link to a blog.   Thank you so much for the inspiration sarsam.  It may be difficult to tell from this picture but there are two scored lines under Happy Birthday.   It adds a nice touch when you are limited on how you can embellish a masculine card.

February Card Club projects

I had a lovely time with my club ladies this month.   We were especially excited to have Trina join us again.   Can't wait to see her more often!

Most of the cards we did in Club were partially CASE'd cards.    I am so grateful for the demos that share their beautiful creations and give the rest of us inspiration.   Here are the projects we worked on:

 This clean and simple card was CASE'd from Cristena.    You can see her blog here.    Thank you Cristena!   This card features product found in the spring catalogue.   Love the flower trim!

SUPPLIES:

Paper:   crumb cake, pool party core-dination, whisper white, primrose petals, Tea Party DSP, Early Edition DSP

Ink:   chocolate chip marker, primrose petals, old olive, early espresso

Stamps:   Oh Hello!

Accessories:   big shot, honeycomb embossing folder, sanding block, color spritzer, flower trim, basic rhinestones, sponge dauber, bitty butterfly punch, square punch

 I have been seeing the chalkboard technique everywhere and wanted to use it for a club project.  This card was a partial case from Selene Kempton.    You can check out her blog here.   I wanted to use the paper doilies which made the perfect background for the sentiment.

SUPPLIES:

Paper:   pool party, basic black

Ink:   versamark, whisper white 

Stamps:   Everything Eleanor, Vintage Verses (SAB)

Accessories:   big shot, window framelit, whisper white and pool party embossing powders, paper doilies, basic pearls, pool party seam binding ribbon

I finally got around to getting the Little Additions stamp set.   Wow - there are 21 pieces to this set so it can make up a wonderful variety of baby cards.   I wanted to make a non gender specific baby card so thus the colour combination.

SUPPLIES:

Paper:   early espresso, summer starfruit, whisper white, Sycamore Street DSP (SAB)

Ink:   early espresso, summer starfruit, crumb cake, rich razzleberry

Stamps:   Little Additions, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Cuddles & Kisses (inside)

Accessories:   big shot, polka dot embossing folder, basic rhinestones, early espresso striped ribbon

Now it's time to prep for a card class this weekend.    I will post pics after the class.   Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, Hello!

Yes, I'm saying hi but I'm also introducing you to the Oh, Hello Bundle from the spring catalogue.    I love it!  But then there's not much that I don't love about all of the fabulous product Stampin' Up! provides for us.   These bundles are great savings.    You save 15% when you purchase the bundle with the framelits and the coordinating stamp set.     I'm supposed to be busy prepping for card club but I wanted to do a quick post to show you a card:

 

And another version ...

I'm also in love with the flower trim!    You get so much in the pack and you can dye the flowers, use a sponge dauber to add subtle colour, colour with markers or they are beautiful just as they are.   In the last version I tipped the petal edges with dazzling details for a little bit of bling.

Hope you love this set as much as I do!   Thanks for stopping by.

Mommy & Me Valentine Class Feb/13

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of putting on a Mommy & Me Valentine Class.   I always enjoy classes with the kids.   We have fun making crafts, visiting and some good snacks.    Here are the projects we worked on during this class:

These cute little guys were inspired by this blog.    For our owls we used the retired pillow box die for the body, large heart punch for the face and feet and an ornament framelit was used to make the wings.   This treat hold can hold two of the Hershey minis.

Our group made a fridge magnet using soda pop tops, first edition DSP and a heart punched from glimmer paper using the small heart punch.    A rhinestone added some bling.    Crystal Effects covers everything and is left to dry.    Glue a magnet on the back and you have a pretty fridge magnet.    The butterfly soda pop top was done as an example of some other images you can use.

Everybody knows and loves the Angry Birds.    This card was CASE'd from this blog.    Lots of punching to create this card and we used the chalkboard technique for our sentiment.   Cute!!

Finally, the moms got to make their card for their special Valentine:

Early Espresso and Crumb Cake for a masculine valentine card.    The Early Espresso core-dination paper is embossed with the vintage wallpaper embossing folder and sanded to go with the vintage look. 

I hope you are working on your Valentine projects as that special day is coming up soon.   Thanks for stopping by!
