We had so much fun last night at our First Christmas Card Club

Here’s what we made:

IMG_6325

Now you may have missed out on this first class, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on future ones.  I have lots more fun ideas to come.  Here are the details!

Please note: Classes will be held at my home, Littlestown on last Tuesday night, and in Taylorsville Md on a Thursday night. 

This is a $25 (value) class but you will be paying a $10 fee and ordering $20 minimum of whatever you want—so really you are only paying $10

Want a sneak peek at a few of the cards for next month?

IMG_6322 I have one more to design (or copy as the case may be)

Summer Mini Catalog Ends Soon

While most of us are getting our New Holiday Mini catalogs and we cannot wait to place our orders beginning September 1st, I thought I should remind us that the Summer Mini ends soon and if there is anything that you’ve not had a chance to get, you can still do that!  

Here are some cards I’ve found done with a few of the sets that I don’t think I can do without, maybe you can relate:

Post Convention Joyful Heart Stampers Breakfast

In case you were unable to join us on Saturday, I thought you’d like to see a little of what went on!

First we enjoyed a delicious breakfast at the Mountain Gate Restaurant!  There were 35 of us present out of a group of 112 demonstrators from all over the country.  I think that is incredible.  Sheila Miller and her visiting friend Rhoda won a prize for coming the farthest—almost 4 hours I think!

IMG_6129

Our theme this year is GROW so I made these flower pots with our Designer Series Paper strips to cover the pots, then the flowers were made by Marie and I with our New In Colors.  Malachi Corrugated and Shredded more DSP for the grass and then I covered the little shovel and rake handles with dsp.  A little lady bug inspired by my dear friend Bonnie, finishes off the flower arrangement.  These were given to all the presenters—see below.

IMG_6130

We enjoyed some fabulous card swapping!  It was intense around there for a few minutes!

Our Presentors:

Angela Ogelsby: presented some ideas with the treat cups, candy wrapper die; Marie Gruber: some ideas with embossing satin ribbon on our embossing folders/with a little hairspray; Deb Paisie:some more ideas with extending the candy wrapper die, decorating with our punches, other candy ideas, a great cut-out sign for our entrance; and Sondra Jumper: lots of cute little gift ideas for hostesses, for favors and more.  Thank you ladies for doing such a great job! I showed some ideas we learned using our punches—some out-of-the ordinary things (I will try to get a video made before the end of the week to show you what all we learned—don’t know how else to show everyone!) also, had to show our fabulous new Stampin’ Score –along with some of the features and benefits of this exciting new product.

I love how quickly and easily you can create something like this, that looks like it would be so difficult—no more measuring!

Another new set, Christmas Lodge using our Cherry Cobbler Embossing Powder, then our new “stickles’ type glitter glue.  The DSP is the new Frostwood Lodge DSP.

IMG_6141

And last but not least, our Strength and Hope fundraiser stamp (only available yet this month) along with the flowers from Language of Friendship # 122752 punched with our Boho Blossoms punch.  Colors are Pink Pirouette, Basic Grey and white.  Butterfly embossed with white emboss powder.  Grey marker to ink only the top of the word stamp—then repeated again. 

Hope you enjoyed this little tour of the team meeting.  Make sure you put it on your calendar so you don’t miss our next, Christmas Dinner Meeting on December 3rd, at Christ Church in Littlestown.

When your card or scrapbook page just needs an extra something, try a piece of designer paper.

You can do so many things with designer paper:

  • a small piece makes a great accent on a card

IMG_7929

 

  • a long strip makes a great border on a scrapbook page IMG_7659
  • I apologize, this sample actually uses a Simply Scrappin’ Kit but it shows the idea nicely

 

 

  • or smaller pieces can be used as accents on scrapbook pages

IMG_7931

 

  • it’s thin enough that it folds nicely to create die-cut boxes, bags or to create belly bands on those boxes, bags

IMG_7932

 

 

  • makes beautiful accents like flowers

IMG_0148

  • score with our new Stampin’ Score (available in September) and you can quickly create these beautiful flowers.
