Craftroom Update
It's been a little swamped since Monday so I haven't crafted very much! But I do need to finish my tutorial for the Twist and Pop cards that we made on Tuesday. I hope to get that done this weekend. Next on the agenda is the February 13th Valentine Craft Class I have scheduled at the Branson Community Center.
We will not meet on the 27th because Tracy, the Manager, will be out of town that week and the Center will be closed. In March, we will be making the four panel cards I posted earlier. Here's a reminder!
I hope you have a great weekend and I'll be back on Monday for some more inspiration!

Card Class Reminder
We will be making these two adorable Twist and Pop cards tonight! Come and see what is planned for February 13th and March's class!
The insides are just as cute, don't you think?
I'll be busy the next couple of days unpacking military items for my other section of my store. But don't let that stop YOU from crafting!

Valentine Box Card
I really had a lot of fun working with the ladies that came to my Box Card Class. I had a customer that wanted me to make them a Valentine card using the flowers from that class. No, I didn't get a picture! But I only put four flowers in the box and added a Gold Glimmer Paper heart in the center. It really came out nice.
I then moved on to make card. It is using retired DSP, and I used the Stampin' Blends to shade and color all the flowers. I absolutely love this card!
Be sure to leave me a comment and let me know what you think of this one!

What's Your Weather?
It has been snowing and icy here in Hollister/Branson, MO. Our store has been closed for two days due to hazardous road conditions (hills and ice are a bad combination!).
Most of my crafting supplies are at the store, so I didn't have much to craft with for today's post. I decided I would share the craft I have planned for February 13th, at the Branson Community Center, from 6-8 PM. Be sure to call Tracy, 417-337-8510, no later than Friday, February 9th, so I have enough supplies cut!
We're making one of these two Post It Note holders and you're going to help me use up a Paper Pumpkin kit -- we're going to make these cute little bags from last year's January 2017 Paper Pumpkin Kit.
I hope you can join us for this fun class!
Leave me a comment about what kind of weather you are having!

Another Four Panel Easel Card
Here is the second card we will be making in class. When I teach a Fancy Fold Class, I like to reinforce how to make them, so you will be making one of these as well in my class on March 13th if you take the Branson Community Center class OR in February at the Branson Mill Craft Village!
You will also be making an envelope for this card as well! I hope you are able to join us in one of my scheduled classes. If not, remember, we can hold a class anytime at the Branson Mill -- we just have to be done by 4:30 so I have clean-up time!
Happy Crafting,
Desiree'
For this card, I used some retired Designer Series Papers, Basic Black and Rose Red cardstock. Stamp sets used on this card include Beautiful You, Butterfly Basics, and Party Pandas, which you can get for FREE with a $50 Stampin' Up! order!
I didn't stamp anyting on the insides, leaving it optional for you to write different little notes inside.

Four Panel Easel Card
The dates keep changing, but I think this date is firm! March 13th, from 6-8 PM at the Branson Community Center. The 27th of February is cancelled because the center will be closed that week. I will be having a class in February, either the 17th or the 24th to make these cards as well.
This card is really fun! I have all the Quilt Framelit diecuts done so you will learn how to adhere this to the top of your paper and make the four panels. I used the Petal Garden Paper Stack, Rich Razzleberry, Pool Party and Old Olive card stock. In my class, you will also learn how to make an envelope for this card!
This is the card closed and is very beautiful on its own. I also stamped different phrases inside, using Rose Wonder, Ribbon of Courage, and Watercolor Wings stamp sets.
Lastly, here is the card opened.

Thank You, Ladies!
I had a wonderful time last night sharing my Box Cards with twelve wonderful ladies. With just a few mishaps, we got through making two Box Cards in 2 hours!!
Fantastic job ladies. My bad for not taking any pictures, though!
Here is one of the cards we made last night. I did run out of this retired Designer Series Paper, so we improvised on some of the other kits.
This was the second time I held this class and if you still missed it, let me know you want to make this style card and we'll come up with something!
I hope to have some pictures of the Twist and Pop cards we're going to make on the 23rd of January up tomorrow!

You've Got This!
That is the stamp set that I used for our last card in the four card class/kit. Remember, if you purchase a kit, you need the embossing folders, punches, etc. If you choose to do the class in my classroom, then you use all my stuff and only have to bring yourself and payment!
This Thinking of You card is made with Wisteria Wonder as the base and I added a layer of Pink Pirouette. The tutorial shows you how to save on cardstock on this card. For instance, if you stamp your words in the center of your Crumb Cake piece, then punch out, no one will know unless they take your card apart! You will want to stamp BEFORE you emboss this piece.
For the flower, I used the stamp set, You've Got This. The background is made by using painter's tape or masking tape. Make sure you get the sticky out first. Then rub on your stamp pad and then onto your cardstock. Rub hard, dark colors; rub lightly, you will get a lighter result.
I then stamped the flower over the background. This was a fun card and it really is a different look with the masking tape. I hope you enjoy this card today!

Friendship
One thing you do with Stampin' Up! is make many friends!
Today's card is the third of four that you can come in and make or buy as a kit of four. This also is a swap I made last year for my upline.
The card base is Whisper White with Sweet Sugarplum cardstock for a layer of color. The stamp set is Lovely Friends and is available until May 31, 2018. The Sweet Sugarplum cardstock, ink, ribbons, etc., will retire at that time as well.
I stamped my words and leaves and placed on the front. I stamped my words inside as well using Sweet Sugarplum ink.
If you would like to come in and make this card along with the other three cards, send me a message, email, or give me a call at 417-544-0669.

Today's share is a Thank You card I've previously offered in a class. I have extra supplies cut so want to give you the opportunity to either come in and make your own set of cards, or, you can purchase the kits and make them in the comfort of your own home.

This card uses a retired stamp set, Field Flowers, and retired Designer Series papers.
I left the inside blank for writing a personal note.

Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon Discontinued
Stampin’ Up! has informed us that the Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon (item #145502) on page 5 has been unavailable due to environmental audits halting production of thousands of factories across China. Unfortunately, Stampin’ Up!!—along with many other businesses worldwide—have continued to experience delays in production. As a result, they have decided the best course of action is to remove this item from our product offering.
I know many of you—just like myself —were eagerly anticipating the release of this product. We are so sorry about this turn of events. Although Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon won’t be available, I have some good news: Stampin’ Up! has many other ribbons that ARE available.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need help selecting different ribbons to use in your project!

Pandamonium!
Stampin' Up! has a new Occasions catalog with a Sale-A-Bration catalog. What is Sale-A-Bration? Every year, Stampin' Up! rewards you with FREE select items when you purchase $50 or more. For every $50 you spend, you can a FREE item. What kinds of things do you get?
Well, one of the items is this Party Panda Stamp Set. Isn't he cute?
I have the Sale-A-Bration and the new Occasions catalogs in my store located inside the Branson Mill Craft Village. I cannot post live until January 3rd, but you can see some samples in my 2018 Occasions and SAB Pinterest board.
Here is a card I made for a swap with my fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, using the Party Pandas. By using the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Papers, I was able to easily pick out the colors I wanted to use for this card.
It may be 4 degrees here in Branson, but it is -13 in Iowa where we used to live and where my upline is. I thought something bright and cheerful was on the agenda!
These cute Pandas are a FREE Stamp Set you can earn when spending $50 in my On-Line Store!
Be sure to let me know if you have any questions!
