January Stamp A Stack Part 3

Two more cards that we made at this months Stamp A Stack class...

Both these card ideas came from a Swap I received when I went to Convention
in Utah last July. This is one of the best parts of going to any Convention, Leadership,
Regional, etc. is that you get a bunch of sample card front from other very
talented demonstrators which makes planning your card classes so much easier.

I leave tomorrow for Leadership in Texas and I am excited about all the new
sample swaps I will get and share with all of you.
Tune in tomorrow to see the card front that I made for my swap

I loved this butterfly one. I only changed up the words on it to suit what I wanted.

Stamps: Word Play and Vintage Vogue

CARD #6


This card features the newest In-Colors Calypso Coral, Island Indigo,
Lucky Limeade, Pool Party, and Wisteria Wonder

Keeping it simple again

I thought I would share with you all the cards that the other Red Hot Stampers made for our Keeping It Simple Challenge

Sue made this cute Bugs and Kisses card – I love all her bright color choices.

Glenda made her card while on her trip out to convention so had limited resources. I really love how she used the Circle Circus stamp set and the bright colors. She used the stampin’ spots that come in a new demonstrators starter kit to show you can get started right away. This card by Lori uses the stamp set Always and a standard size wheel. She added ribbon – we teased her about breaking the rules.

Dawn made this cute baby card for a friend who is having a baby girl soon and already has a little boy. I just love the Family stamp set, you can do so many fun things with it.

Rachel has been going crazy using the new Aviary stamp set. She loves it because she has several birds at their house as pets. Once again the bright colors really set it off.

I’m really impressed by one of our new gals, Sarah. She made her card using the Inspired by Nature stamp set, and then she thinks like me and “stepped it up”adding the Perfect Plum card stock behind it. She didn’t even stop there… She made another “stepped up” version by adding butterflies from the stamp set Flight of the Butterfly…cute so very cute.

I hope you enjoyed seeing all these fun cards by all the fun gals in the Red Hot Stampers group

So For Now…

Happy Stamping!!!

Keeping it Simple

At our last downline meeting Glenda challenged us to make a card that was simple.  No layers, no embellishments…who would have thought that would be soooo hard to do because I love the layers, the dimensions, the ribbons, etc.  She did say that we were allowed to use one layer besides the base card and we could use an embossing folder – but that is IT.  YIKES!

Well, I knew that I wanted to use my new Circle Circus Stamp Set that I WON!!! (EARNED) FREE from Glenda – (Thank you Glenda!) for hostessing a workshop.  I'm sure you heard me say it before, but I belong to the BEST stamping group ever!  GO RED HOT STAMPERS! I must say that I was disappointed in my turn out that night (one lady from church besides three demos), but my daughter was in charge of a mother daughter craft day at the elementary school and because of her order the mystery hostess received a LOT of free product!  She was so thankful that she helped my daughter on the craft day by manning one of the craft tables!  Thanks Marla!

This is the card that I came up with for Clean and Simple

Since I could not use glitter, shimmer paint or ANYTHING FUN … I used shimmer paper instead.  I even kept it simple with one color.  I really like the black and white.

Now to “Step It Up” a bit – I rounded the corners, sprayed it with Champagne Mist Shimmmer Paint (hard to see in the photo but it is soooo pretty), Added a tag with Dimensionals and NOW I like it much better.  Which one do you like?

We actually used the Stepped up version at this weeks STAMP A STACK

 
So For Now…
Happy Stamping!!
