More projects from January classes

As promised, here are some more projects from my January classes/clubs.  The first again uses the Going Global stamp set and the coordinating designer series paper, Going Places.  I also decided to use watercolor paper and the Stampin' Spritzer for the globe image.  I really like the watercolored look it gives.

 These next two cards use the popular Sale-a-bration stamp set, the Sky is the Limit.  It's a limited availability stamp set and is only available through February 15th with a $50 order!  Don't miss your chance to get your own.

I adapted this card idea from this card that I cased.  I used the ever-popular Lovely as a Tree stamp set for the tree-line below and the birthday greeting from the Suite Sayings stamp set out of the Occasions Catalog.  And, you can't forget about the propeller on the airplane.  It's vellum card stock punched out with the Festive Flower Builder Punch and a Mini Silver Brad.

This card idea I also cased from a fellow demonstrator, but I can't seem to find where I got the idea from.  I made my card simpler though.

Thanks again for stopping by, and happy stamping!

If you need stamping supplies, and don't currently have a demonstrator, I'd be glad to help you out.

January Projects

For this month's stamp classes, I focused on some "manly" cards.  So often, they are the hardest for me to come up with.  When I first laid eyes on the Occasions Catalog from Stampin' Up!, the Going Global stamp set was one of the first items to go on my must-have list.  The same was true for the Sale-a-bration Brochure, I loved the Sky Is the Limit stamp set (it's limited availability too).  So it's no wonder that those two stamp sets would be the ones I'd focus on this month.

Here is the first of the projects made at stamp classes/clubs this month:

The idea for this card came from the fabulous Patty Bennet.  She's provided a video tutorial that explains this technique so well, that to add to it seems redundant.  When I saw this card, I immediately thought of how to make it using the Going Global stamp set and using the Going Places Designer Series paper stack.

It's a fun fold, and it fits into a standard card-size envelope too!  Win, win.

Check back tomorrow for more projects.
Happy stamping!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  I'm always amazed at how quickly the time goes flying by.  Thanks to each and every one of you who follow my blog, and for those who have been faithful customers (some for almost 14 years)!

After taking much of the month of December off from stamping, I spent a little time today stamping with a few of my new "toys" from the 2016 Occasions Catalog.  Everyone can order them on January 5th.

A Wonderful Night of Stamping!

Last night I had the awesome priviledge of sharing my love of rubber stamping and paper crafting with a group of ladies.  With the Christmas season fast approaching, I focused on gift packaging.  While the projects that I shared were Christmas themed, they could just as easily be adapted for any occasion.

I demonstrated this fast (really it does go together fairly quickly) gift bag.  The idea was demonstrated on stage at the Stampin' Up! Convention back in July of this year.  I modified the idea by making a poinsettia flower embellishment using the Festive Flower Builder punch and coordinating stamp set, Reason for the Season.

The make & take that everyone made was this cute little gift bag that uses the Petite Cafe bags, some designer series paper banners, a quick tag and some Thick Baker's Twine trim.  The bags are food safe, so anything from small cookies and other treats, to even non-food items are packaged quickly and beautifully too!
