Send Me Soaring Scrapbook Pages

We are playing with the Send Me Soaring Stamp Set out of the Mini Occasions Catalog tonight at the Masculine Stamp a Stack class. The ladies have a choice of cards or scrapbooking. We also used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to place the kites perfectly to make it look like designer paper.



Now I just need to take pictures of the boys flying kites!

Happy Scrappin'!

Masculine Card

Here is a card we are making at Stamp a Stack class next Tuesday, February 28th at 6:30 - 8:30 pm at my Stampin Studio. The theme of this Stamp a Stack is Masculine Cards and Scrapbook Pages. When I am looking for a card, it always seems like I need more masculine cards, so this is a great way for me to make up a bunch and for my customers to have them on hand. I think I have started a business in my neighborhood as being the card lady. My neighbors shop here for cards and I think that is great. It makes me feel so good about my cards.


I still have openings for this class, so you are welcome to email me or call me to reserve your spot.
I am working on my video Private Class and it should be done soon, so if you are interested in running your own Private Class and don't live near me, this would be a great way for you to get hostess benefits.

Happy Stampin'

Ready to Fly Away

This is a card we will be making at a Private Stamp Class tonight. I just love the how the butterflies look like they are flying away. I used the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (can you tell I love this paper), free with a $50.00 purchase. I also used the Scallop Envelope Die (113462 $21.95).
This ribbon is too cute with the polka dots (1/2 Scallop Dot Ribbon Chocolate Chip 124142 $7.95) but I want all the polka dots to show so I made a simple fold in the middle to make it look like a fancy bow. Very simple to do with glue dots and then I just added a Designer Button in Neutrals (119743 $8.95)
I have started a Customer Appreciation Program where I keep track off all the purchases you make, when you have 10 $50.00 orders, you will get a Free Stamp Set of your choice from any of the current catalogs. Thank you for being such wonderful customers!

Happy Stampin'

Quilt Pattern

One of the reasons I love being a demonstrator is because I get to watch videos of different techniques on a website called Stampin' Connection (exclusive to demonstrators). I loved the techniuqe Dawn used on this card called Quilting. Now I can't copy the exact card, I have to make it my own. I used the Petal Cone Die (121810 $32.95)and folded the label on the ends to used as a decoration on the bottom of the scallop (this also came from the Petal Die)

I used the fabulous Saleabration Designer Series Paper (126154 free with a $50.00 order) and the Postage Stamp Punch (122344 $15.95)to do the quilting on the outside. You can use Dotto (103305 $12.95) and the graph paper (102787) to line up and temporarely stick down the pieces. Then use regular snail to permanetly attach the pieces. Start from the outside and then the middle to line them up.

I used the regular A2 format (Cut 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock at 5 1/2 on the long side, then fold it in half). I cut one outer piece at 5 1/4 x 4 and the 2nd outer piece at 5 x 3 3/4.

Angry Birds Card

This is my friend Carol Lovenstein's Swap Card from our Thursday meeting. She is such a talented demonstrator. I just love all her creations. I am surprised I could find this card to take a picture because my boys are always sneaking off with this card. They love Angry Birds and they are now making a list of people they want to give this card too! Carol used a technique called Sunburst. Since this was the first I had heard of it, I am excited to play with it in Club coming up in March.
Well we are off to the driving range to hit golf balls - yes we are taking both boys too. This is a family Saturday - so hopefully I will get to hit a few.

Happy Saturday!

I had a great time last night at a Stampin' Up event. I met some great ladies and had fun playing. They took a photo when we walked through the door so I changed my facebook photo so check it out We are the Stampions Facebook Page
This Easter card was made by my upline Pam - I will be casing this for my Easter Classes!

This card was made by my dear friend Joy. She told me after she made all her swaps her mother told her it looked like the butterfly was pooping the jewels. I thought this was hillarious because I did not see that until she told me.

This card was made by Marlene! She is the one who took the photo!

I hope all you have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! I have done two classroom parties and a craft with Kindergardeners. Now I need to re-energize and get ready for the Big Shot Class tomorrow evening.
I wanted to share with you one of my Team Member Peg's idea. She recycled a gum wrapper and put little hearts in them and wrapped the outside. How cute is that!!!!

When we were at leadership one of the talented demonstrators showed us how to use stamping with baking. She used the Stamp Set Outlined Occasions from the Saleabration Catalog and this stamp set is free with a $50.00 order.

Now I just need to get baking to use my stamp sets. I hope your day is filled with love.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's for Preschool

These are my youngest son's valentines. He was not as helpful as my Kindergardener, but he loved sticking the hearts on the out outside. He did pick the stamp set Dinoroar.

Here are the ones for the girls. He picked M&M's to put in the middle.

Here are the ones for the boys.

He also made a special valentine for a little girl in his class. Should I be worried. He made this with his thumbs and ink! I think it turned out really cute.

February Club Scrapbook Pages

Here are the pages we did in Club this month. We always do 3 pages with 1 2-page layout and 1 page that continues from the month before to make another layout. We played with the Saleabration Paper and the Butterfly Die. We added a little stamping with the Fresh Vintage Stamp Set also out of the Saleabration Catalog.



Here is the Valentine's layout. We did one page last month and completed the layout this month.

This is the page we made this month. I had a blast playing with the Heart Framelits which are new in the Mini Occasions Catalog.

I had to add a little embossing so I ran the last heart through the Manhatten Flower Embossing Folder. I thought that turned out so cute I added it to the backgrounds of my soon to be photos!

I am off to finish invitations for a friends Birthday Party. I think they turned out really cute so I can't wait to share them with you.

Happy Scrappin!
