August class

Tami and I had smaller classes this month than usual, but we still had SO much fun.  The group of ladies that come are so special.  Love them all.

Tami's cards this month were incredible.  This first one was inspired by an on-stage presentation by Pam Morgan at the convention last month.  So simple....yet so stunning!

Gold embossing on DSP.

Tami used her favorite new stamp set (and one of mine too) called Gorgeous Grunge!  Love this set.

Tami's next card was very vintage.  Inspired, I believe, by a card by Jackie Pedro.
Tami used some of her birthday gifts from friends on this card.  Stamps, embossing folder and clock die are not SU.


The flowers were made with the pansy punch and the Boho Blossom punch.

My first card is a fun-fold card.  Paper used was the Modern Medley (My absolute favorite) and basic black.  Stamp set was Petite Pairs.  The Happy Birthday Die was not SU.


View from the top.

The second card is also a fun fold.  Stamps sets used were Teeny Tiny Wishes, Papaya Collage, and our retired In My Thoughts.  The designer paper is Winter Frost, from the Holiday Catalog.  Some of the designs are appropriate for non-winter/Christmas cards as this card shows.  The rose is shaped and popped up, then painted with the retired Shimmer Smooch.

Welcome to my new blog

I have been putting this off for a long time, but have decided that now is the time for me to enter the blogging world.  I have the blog feature on my Stampin' Up! website, but it seems limited compared to what I see on other's blogs.  I hope to update this one more often now that I have a bit more time on my hands.  I quit working my full time "day job" the end of May.  I wanted to be able to spend more time with my family and devote more time to my Stampin' Up! business without working late into the nights as I have been. Please hang with me while I try to learn all that is necessary to make this blog interesting and informative for you, my readers. I'll begin by posting a photo (still need a photo box) of the cards that were made at my last class here at the house.  The pink one was partially CASE'd from an Australian Blogger, Teneale Williams.  I really love her work.  The bird card was a CASE from a swap I received at convention in July.  The o

I love fall and I love leaves.  Fall colors are so warm and rich.  So, when Stampin' Up! came out with the new Wonderfall bundle with the stampset and the matching dies, I couldn't wait to get it and try it out.  This is the first project I made with it.  MMMM, love the added sparkle from the new Champagne Shimmer paper! Button was from my "stash".  Hope you enjoy! Inside:  Verse was printed on the computer.

Tami's February Cards

Here are Tami's great cards for our class this month.  She excels at masculine cards.....whereas I do NOT. This first one is so fun.  If you have a fisherman in your family this would be perfect for him! Tami's inspiration for this card can be found here . Stamp:  By the Tide and Netting Ink: Soft Suede Paper: Always Artichoke, Island Indigo, Soft Suede Accessories:  Chevron and Square Lattice Embossing Folders, I forget which size circle punch....2 1/4 I think.  Wooden shish-ka-bob skewers. Tami's other card is OH so beautiful.....and far from masculine!  I love it. Stamps:  Swallowtail, Affection Collection, En Francais Inks:  Crumb Cake, Primrose Petals Accessories: Goosebumps (non SU) and Champagne shimmer paint/alcohol mist, Flower, Vanilla Seam Binding, Rhinestones The inside is JUST as pretty.......
