Join my team for only $25! Really!

Even I was amazed when I saw this great promotion.  It doesn't start until Monday, October 7th, and only runs for 2 weeks (October 7th - October 21st).

Card Buffet Class

CARD BUFFET CLASSSunday, October 6th, 2pm to 5pm

Cost is $12 for the 1st 6 cards (or $15 to include envelopes), each additional card is $2.  

At this event, enjoy some stamping time all while making at least 6 cards.  I'll provide 6 different card designs, you pick which expression to add (birthday, thank-you, get well, etc.)  You decide if you want all cards to be of the same design, or if you want to mix things up a bit and make one of each.  So easy and fun, you'll be back for seconds!
But it's a buffet, so when the entree (card design) is gone, it's gone!

Please RSVP by Friday, October 4th.  Bring a friend (RSVP required)!

It's a "Wonderfall" time of the year!

I love fall!  The crisp mornings, the colors, pumpkin almost everything!

So, here is a card that I made using one of the great fall stamp sets, Wonderfall and the coordinating Autumn Accents Bigz die for the Sizzix Big-Shot.  I used Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Catalog.  Even the name says fall!

It won't be long and I'll be having to clear the real falling leaves.  But until then.....

September Club & Class Projects

 This month for stamp club and stamp classes, I focused on the new Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set, Tag It, that Stampin' Up! released in the catalog for 2013/2014.  It's a great all-occasion stamp set, and for every set purchased, Stampin' Up! will donate $3 to the RMHC.  It's a win-win!

For this card, I used the Pop 'n Cuts Card Base Die for the card base, Alphabet Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, the 2-1/2" Circle punch and Daffodil Delight 1/2" Seam Binding.  I'm not normally a "brights" kind of person, but I'm loving the new Brights Collection.

This is a kleenex wrap, and I thought the get well stamp from this set worked well on it.  Here I used the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, the 3/16" corner rounder punch, the Chalk Talk Framelits dies and a small Basic Jewels Rhinestone. 

Finally, this card, which I cased from the display boards at Stampin' Up!'s 2013 annual convention this past summer in Salt Lake City, Utah.  The only change I made to it was using a piece of Old Olive card stock for one of the banners instead of another piece of Designer Series Paper, simply because I had used most of the Old Olive paper in the package.

Thanks for stopping by!
