Sets Gone Wild .... uhh I mean SINGLE! :)
Did I mention that even our Single Stamps are included in this sale? What are single stamps you ask? We all have seen a stamp set that has one image you just have to have, but in order to get it you had to buy the whole set. We have all done it! Well Stampin' Up! like to stir things up and until January 2, 2013, they are offering some single stamps!
There are flyers for these stamps but I can't seem to figure out how to attach files to the blog - only pictures. You can see the images offered below, but the numbers are pretty tiny! Let me know if you have questions. These stamps are also on sale! They do not come with a block and are intended for Clear-Mount stamps. The flyers do, however, tell you what block size you will need.

Last but not least ..

This is the 3rd card we did at my class. I love cards that are simple but pretty. This card was just that. There is not a lot of actual stamping with this one, which is also why it was pretty fast. I used the paper piercer on the petals, near the pearls, but it is hard to tell in this picture. I also used the Word Window punch for the sentiment and flagged the end. It was easier to get a straight saying.

I was inspired by a card that Mary Fish produced here. I scaled it down so that it would fit into a traditional A2 envelope. I love how this turned out! Later, I tried it with a Basic Gray button.... I like it better! I hope you like it too!

Card Class tonight!

Well it was a success!

I had a group of 9 people so let's just say my craft room was "cozy".  I won't complain though because I have an awesome room!  I think that I may have to invest in another Big Shot though...

Next I would like to show you the second card the group did. This is a great Fall card and the sentiment can be changed for so many things. At class the people could choose the embossing folder like the sample or the woodgrain one. I liked it both ways so it's hard to choose!

  • Stamp Sets: Wonderfall & Teeny Tiny Wishes
  • Ink: Riding Hood Red, Early Espresso, Garden Green & More Mustard
  • Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla & Core'dinations Card Stock in Early Espresso

Prepping for class...

Hello and Happy Monday!

Do the words happy and Monday really belong together? It's kind of unatural!

Anyway.... Tuesday is my first card class of the season. I had classes before but only sporadically. My goal is to have one the second Tuesday of every month. If you are interested, please let me know!

Below  is one of the cards that we will be making in class this week. It's super cute and I love how it turned out! (minus one thing that we are not discussing!) This card was posted by Nancy Riley as one she liked. I changes up a few things. The name on the card is Aimee Crets...something. The font makes it hard to read. Sorry!


 
All items are from Stampin' Up! of course!

  • Paper: Whisper White, Lucky Limeade and Basic Black
  • Ink: StazOn Jet Black, Sahara Sand, Lucky Limeade

Welcome to the October STamp to the MAX Blog Hop!

Hello everyone!

Thank you for continuing the hop. You just left the amazing work of Martha Haddock.

Fall is in the air and the leaves are turning into golden gems in the Utah mountains. This is my favorite time of year and I was really inspired for this card. I hope you like it too!

 
There are tons of things going on with this card - but it doesn't look too busy. (at least not to me!) The neatest thing is the use of the Natural Composition Paper sponged with Pacific Point. It really changes the paper up! Below is a list of supplies used:
 
  • Stamp Sets: Perfectly Preserved, Day of Gratitude & Simply Serif Alphabet
  • CS: Pacific Point, More Mustard, Riding Hood Red, Very Vanilla.
  • Inks: Pacific Point, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso
  • DSP: Orchard Harvest & Natural Composition
  • Tools: Framelits - Cannery Set, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch, the 3/8" Circle punch from Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.
  • ETC: Linen Thread, dimensionals, sponging, distressed edging
 
I hope that you liked my card and that you continue to the next stop on the blog hop, the talented Christina Mansker!
