July Kit Class Cards

What a fun time we had Tuesday night this week at our monthly Kit Class.  The cards were great, even if they seemed a little putzy.  We had fun and I can't wait to share them with you. So sit back and enjoy!!

Card1 - This Just Stinks!!
 I just love this little get well card, the sentiment says it all!

Stamp Set:  Foxy Friends
Ink:  Basic Black
Paper:  Basic Grey Base, A Little Foxy DSP Layer, Cherry Cobbler Scallop, Whisper White Circle
Accessories:  Dimensions, White Gel Pen (to draw the face)

Who wouldn't want to receive this Get Well card, it would cheer anyone up that is for sure.

Card 2 - Hello Baby!
 A cute little baby card, it is always nice to have a few baby cards on hand.  They always come in handy.  What a cute little onsie, the great thing about this card is the background is stamped!  We took all of the images that were in this stamp set and positioned them on the large clear block randomly, inked it up and stamped, then randomly stamped the baby bib in Bermuda Bay.  I accidently came across this color combination when the two stamp pads were sitting next to each other, they looked good together and there you have it!!

Stamp Set:  Something for Baby
Ink:  Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, So Saffron
Paper:  Bermuda Bay Base, Whisper White Layer and 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, Basic Grey 2 x 3, Designer Series Paper 1 x 3
Accessories:  Happy Heart Embossing Folder, Dimensions, Triple Banner Punch, Baby First Framelets

Card 3 - Happy Anniversary
,
 The Happy Anniversary card is so elegant, the soft colors with the Smokey Slate Base works!

Stamp Set:  Number of Years
Ink:  Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Basic Black
Paper:  Smokey Slate Base, Mint Macaron Layer, Whisper White 2 1/4 x 3 3/4, Smokey Slate
2 1/2 x 4
Accessories:  Elegant Dots Embossing Folder, Dimensions

Card 4 - Wedding Congrats
When I saw this card, I instantly fell in love with it.  You can make the heart background any color you want, but I loved the Dapper Denim and Emerald Envy sponging that created this background.  I cased this card from LeAnn Greff of Flowerbug Blog.  I love the elegance of the White on White of the heart.

Stamp Set:  Thoughtful Banners
Ink:  Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy
Paper:  Whisper White Base, Dapper Denim Layer, Whisper White 3 3/4 x 5 and 3 3/4 x 4
Dimensions, Sponge Daubers, Bloomin Heart Thinlets, Rhinestone Jewels

The secret of this card is that you sponge the 3 3/4 x 4 piece of Whisper White cardstock then position this behind the heard that is cut out using the Bloomin Heart Thinlet.


Card 5 - Ball Jar Thanks
This was such a simple card, but simple can alot of times be better.  Who doesn't remember catching lightning bugs and putting them in a jar!

Stamp Set: Jar of Love
Ink:  Smokey Slate, Whisper White, Dapper Denim, Island Indigo, Basic Grey
Paper:  Smokey Slate Base, Dapper Denim Layer, Whisper White scraps
Accessories:  Jar Thinlets, Dimensions, Sponge Daubers-Island Indigo, Sponges-Whisper White, Woodland Embossing Folder, Wink of Stella

After embossing the Dapper Denim layer with the Woodland Embossing Folder, we lightly sponged Whisper White onto the trees to make them pop!  The lightning bugs were colored with the gold Wink of Stella pen.

Thanks for stopping by,
Cindy

July Stamp Set of the Month - Sitting Here

Hello Everyone!
 
I have been thinking about doing this for a while and that is to have a stamp of the month!  This is a fun way to keep stamping this summer and all year round!!  The bonus, the price of the Stamp of the Month comes with EVERYTHING you need to make 4 cards with envelopes and instructions., PLUS YOU GET TO KEEP THE STAMP SET!!

PLEASE NOTE:  This is not a Stampin' Up! kit, this is a kit that I am creating for my stampers using the high quality Stampin' Up! cardstock, embellishments and stamps that we love so much.  In other words, I created this because I know how important quality at a good price is to myself but also to you!

What a great way to keep on stamping!  Take it with you camping, out of town; the possibilities are endless!

Here is how it works:
* Order the Stamp of the Month from me by sending me a check for $24.  This covers the shipping, sales tax and the cost to make 4 cards using this stamp set.

* The kit will include, not only, the stamp set but also the cardstock that is all cut and scored for you, the embellishments and instructions to make the 4 cards.  The instructions will include a picture of the finished card in color, but these are your cards, so you can change them and make them your own if you like!

* Requests and payment for the stamp set kit must be received by the end of the month (July 31); I will then order the stamp sets and start creating four great cards!  Past kits will be available once we get going but all kits must be paid for in advance.

* Once I have it all completed, I will personally deliver your kit to your workplace (if that is ok) or your home.

* Every month we will have a new stamp set, this is the July set that you would receive the first part of August.

Here is the July Stamp Set of the Month!!

Sitting Here is the name of the set, it is located on page 100 of the Big Stampin' Up! Catalog and is new this year.  The set is a photopolymer stamp set, so you will see the clear blocks.  There is 14 stamps in this set and has not only some lovely stamp settings but also the sentiments!
Sitting Here Photopolymer Stamp Set
* If you don't have the ink that I use to make the cards, of course you can use whatever colors that you have OR you can order the stamp pads from me!

If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.  This is going to be a great way to build your stamping collection and have some fun using good quality Stampin' Up! products that we all love!!

Send your check in the amount of $24 made payable to me.  Remember the deadline is July 31st.

July is Almost Gone, Oh My!!

It is the end of July already!!  You have heard it all before, where did the month go?!  For me, July was a busy month.  I keep a calendar on my kitchen island so that I know what is happening throughout the month.  In looking at it I was very very busy!!  I am also out of cards to show you!  That must only mean that I have been busy, you have not sent me any cards to share and thank goodness the Kit Class is tonight so that I can share those cards with you!!

I am so glad that it is the end of July for a number of reasons!!  I know, I know; there are alot of people who like summer.  BUT, so much will be happening in August!!  I can't wait to share them with you!!

But first, today, Tuesday, July 26 is our monthly Kit Class at Schmittys in Neillsville.  I am so happy to report that we almost have a full class again!!  How wonderful, and I am so proud with how far this class has come.  We have a great time, share alot of stamping tips, visit with our each other and have alot of fun with plenty of laughs!  I can't wait to share the great cards with you!!

Here is what is happening:
* July 31 is the last day to take advantage of BONUS DAYS with Stampin' Up!  For every $50 order, you will receive a coupon code email worth $5 that you can use on your August orders!
There is still time to take advantage of this sale, you can order anything that you want!!  The Clearance Rack is also included in this sale!!

*August 2 - Stampin' Up is offering a limited time stamp set that I am sure you are going to love!  It comes with its own Big Shot Thinlet that will make your cards pop!  This set looks to be so versatile, see for yourself!


*August 2 - Redeem your Bonus Coupons!!  This is a great way to get those "wish list" items at a great discount!!

Finally, I DO have a card to share with you today!!  This card is uses the stamp set Baby Bear and although you might think that you can only use it for a Baby Card, think again!  I have seen some great samples of it being used as a Wedding card!!


Isn't this card just adorable?!!  I used Mint Macaron as the Base for the card with a Layer of Island Indigo, I accidently had some Sweet Sugarplum laying on my desk when I was creating this card and thought, I need to use this on my card as a layer!!  It added just the right amount of "pop"!!

Let me know what you think of this great card, and come back tomorrow to see the Kit Class Cards!
As always, thanks for stopping by!!
Cindy
