Calendar Class

Thursday, October 31, 2024

Last weekend I held a Calendar Class - this is the third year in a row and is always a success

I purchase some 5x7 calendars from Taylored Expressions then create some fun scenes for the top section of each month

Some of my ladies use these as gifts, some (like me) use them for our scrapbooking when the month is over and others use them to create specialty cards. I love the differences and all of the options that you can make out of these

Guest Stamper, Sue

Wednesday, August 14, 2024

Our guest stamper today is Sue

Sue holds monthly card buffet classes and shared with us the cards that she prepped for both her July and August classes - super great!! Sue has stuck with me right from the beginning 16 years ago. I am very thankful for her.

3 cards made using the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Paper (15% off until 8-31-24)

FULL OF LIFE designer paper (15% off until 8-31-24)

The sentiment comes from WANTED TO SAY and the embossing folder is DOTTED CIRCLES

An elegant birthday card using MAGNOLIA MOODS stamp set and dies

An excellent example of using the THOUGHTFUL JOURNEY Designer Paper (15% off until 8-31-24)

This card using the ADVENTUROUS SKY Bundle, but it also uses the THOUGHTFUL JOURNEY DSP (15% off until 8-31-24)

Sue really put her THOUGHTFUL JOURNEY DSP to work (15% off until 8-31-24), using them again on these two cards using the SEASIDE WISHES Stamp Set & Dies.

FRAMES & FLOWERS DSP Specialty Pack makes making cards pretty easy with the precut sheets of DSP. She also used the stamp set YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. She even added a PAPER BUTTERFLY ACCENT.

HaPEA Birthday! what a fun sentiment and such a cute stamp! Sue said that her granddaughter especially liked this card using the SWEET PEAS Stamp Set and the SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE dies

This set of three cards was made using the EXPRESSIONS OF KINDNESS KIT - one of the prettiest kits we've had available. She also used a retired stamp set called GO TO GREETINGS

UNDER THE MOON Stamp Set and COUNTRY WOODS DSP (15% off until 8-31-24)

This card was made strictly with the LILY POND DSP (15% off until 8-31-24)

These two cards were also made with the LILY POND DSP (15% off until 8-31-24)

Two more cards using the THOUGHTFUL JOURNEY DSP and I love how she used the UNBOUNDED LOVE Stamp Set to incorporate the "Faith, Hope, Love"

Last, but not least, two more cards using the THOUGHTFUL JOURNEY DSP. (15% off until 8-31-24)

Frames & Flowers

Thursday, June 20, 2024

One of the designer paper offerings in the new annual catalog is Calle Frames & Flowers

This is what Stampin' says about Frames & Flowers

The Frames & Flowers Specialty 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Paper is unlike other patterned paper packs. It has three sheets of double-sided designs with floral and greenery designs on one side and all-purpose patterns on the other. And it also has three sheets of die-cut greenery elements that you can use on card fronts or to frame photos on scrapbook pages. As a fun plus, some of the die-cuts are sized to fit card fronts, making it easy to create quick, beautiful cards. This paper is a must for card makers and scrapbookers!

* 6 sheets of patterned paper: 1 each of 3 double-sided designs and 1 each of 3 single-sided die-cut designs
* 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm)
* Acid free
* Lignin free

I decided to see how many cards I could make out of this paper pack

The first card I made was a sympathy card because I needed to get one sent out ASAP

The rest are a blend of sympathy and care along with some birthday cards.

Some cards I cased exactly, some I changed things up and some I created my own

some of the talented demonstrators that inspired me are

After all was said and done I think I made 35 cards with this $10.00 pack - of course I added extra card stock for bases and layers, and some bling - of course!

When I ran out of the little calypso coral flowers, I decided to make my own twist by sponging Calypso Coral ink onto Basic White card stock and then cut them out with the little flower dies from HEARTS & HUGS and I also used the PETAL PARK Builder Punch

The POISED PEONY Stamp Set is a great addition for these cards.

I used a variety of sentiment stamps:

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

SO SINCERE

ROUND WE GO

LAYERING LEAVES

COURAGE & FAITH

UNBOUNDED LOVE

TRANSLUCENT FLORALS

I also have some elements saved aside to create a beautiful scrapbook page. Can't wait for the perfect pictures so that I can put that together.

I love the color scheme - I used Petal Pink and Lost Lagoon for the most part, but I also used some Pretty Peacock and Soft Seafoam.
