Three Card Class

I have added another class to my October schedule!  Today, from 2-4 as well as 6-8 pm, we will be making three cards using Toile Christmas Stamp set and Designer Series Papers and dies.  Be sure to let me know which time you will be coming so I have enough supplies cut and ready for you!

Here are the three cards we will be making:

This card uses the designer series papers (DSP) from the Toile Christmas Suite.  Great for winter birthdays!

This card is using three items from the suite -- can you pick them out?  Toile Christmas DSP, stamp set and dies!

This card uses the DSP from Toile Christmas suite as well as Nested Dies and sentiment is from God's Peace.  

Be sure to sign up for this class!

Happy Crafting,

Did You Miss It?

I've been negligent in getting postings here.  I'm using a new program to post to Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and forgot to include the posts here!  So, just in case you're not on any of the above social media, I will be posting here what I've already shared there.

What did you do for World Cardmaking Day? I hosted a Card Class at 2 pm and had a free Make and Take for those who wanted to learn how to use papers and cardstock to make a beautiful card. 

Today's share is a card I made using the Feels Like Frost Designer Series papers.  The sentiment, peace, is a retired die from Stampin' Up!  And the stamp are the words I put inside the card.

Happy Crafting,

Purse Gift Card Holder

Here is another cute Christmas Gift idea! This is the second gift that we will be making in our Christmas Gift Classes.  If there is something special you want to make, let me know!

We will be using the Night Before Christmas papers for this purse. The stamp is retired, but you can use Holly Jolly Christmas, Cup of Christmas, Perfectly Plaid or any verse from the Itty Bitty Christmas sets.  Imagine those looking for their presents under the tree and you've hung this ON the tree!

How many things can you come up with to fill this purse?

Did I mention that when you take my class, you will receive a tutorial on how to make more of these in your own home?  I send it via email so you will always have a copy!

Gift cards, jewelry, and even some chocolates!

Happy Crafting,

Christmas Gift Classes

I've been asked to set up a couple of Christmas Gift classes. If there is something special that you would like to learn how to make, get with me to set up a class!

Did you see September's Calendar? Well, we're using the same Cup of Cheer dies for our Christmas Gift Class. There is lots of die cutting in this class. We will be using scraps of designer series papers to put at the bottom. Now, can you think of what else you can put in this pouch? What about a gift card, packet of cider, or a card with matching earrings and necklace!

Check back here in the near future to see when in November these classes will be scheduled!

December Calendar

December brings us to the end of the year for my 2020 calendar. 

The backing is Copper Foil paper.  I then stamped the sentiment, Christmas Wishes, from our Toile Christmas stamp set, which is in the new Holiday catalog, in Night of Navy.  And it has coordinating dies!

The ornament is punched out (used an old ornament punch) of the new Brightly Gleaming Specialty papers.The papers have copper foil accents so this month's calendar really shines!

November Calendar

November's calendar features a retired stamp set, Labels to Love. With November, everyone starts the month off with being grateful. I know I like to take a moment each day and reflect on all the things I don't have in my life!

For this calendar, we're using papers from the Come to Gather Designer Series Papers. Cajen Craze and Pear Pizzazz ink along with Early Expresso finish up this sentiment.

Check my schedule to see when you can come in and make your own calendar!

As some of you know, I'm having sciatic nerve issues. Today I'm headed to Springfield (store will be closed but class is on!) to see the Neurosurgeon. Hopefully she will tell us that all I need is a shot. I know, I hate shots! But I hate surgery more!!

October Calendar

Welcome back! 

October's calendar features a new stamp set, Friend Like You.  I've popped this up on dimensionals on top of the new designer series papers, Come to Gather.  

If you haven't seen a Holiday catalog, you're missing out.  I love the Come to Gather Designer Series papers.

September

September is time for warmer drinks! We're using Cup of Christmas and Blissful Blooms (August 2018 Paper Pumpkin) stamp sets for this month.

Stamping and die-cutting made easy!  This is another simple but pleasing calendar. 

Hope to see you soon!

August Calendar

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for August, but I knew I wanted watermelon. So I went through my stamp sets, including my Paper Pumpkin stamp sets and found one!

We're using an older Paper Pumpkin stamp set, One in a Melon, from June 2017, for August! The papers are also from this kit.

We will be stamping in Emerald Envy (retired) and Melon Mambo inks. We're going to cut out the watermelon and pop it up on dimensionals.

Remember to check my Upcoming Events page to see which class time fits your schedule!

July Calendar

For July's calendar, we're using an old Stampin' Up! stamp set, Star Spangled Banner.

This set has four flag stamps in it. We'll be using Night of Navy ink for the stamp and then Real Red marker to draw the stripes. Then we're going to fussy cut it out and pop it up on dimensionals.

I love how this one turned out!

Happy Crafting,
