"Have you stamped today?!"


A Friend is someone who reaches for your hand but touches your heart!


Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have.

Whoo--hoo!! I did it again!

I have been stamping and creating cards and scrapbooks for a few years and have been participating in a couple of monthly contests. Well I am happy to report that I won the Impressionistic Stampers contest again!!

March Contest Winner:
Congratulations to Cindy Ehlers for her winning entry, created using the Big Shot Two Tags Bigz Die.

I was shocked and happy to win the contest, for my efforts I get $30 of Stampin' Up! merchandise!!  How cool is that?!!

April Technique Class - Suspension

Last night was our April Technique class and we made 2 cards using the Suspension Technique.  I just love our first card, the little monkey looks like it is just "hanging" there!

 For this card we used the Stampin' Up! stamp set Fox & Friends and Party this way, the Cardstock was Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade and Baha Breeze.







For our second card we used the Stampin' Up! Stamp set Look Who's Turning.  This card will work perfect for my little granddaughter Andi who will be turning 1 in June.  The cardstock that we used was Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, and Tempting Turquoise.  A button finished the card and just added the right amount of bling!

Our last card was the "fancy fold" card which is called a Double Fold.  It used the Stampin' Up! Sprinkled Expressions stamp set.  The cardstock is Baha Breeze and Cherry Cobbler, we also used Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding for this card.

That takes care of the March class, time to start thinking about the April Class which will be Faux Tile and I will be getting the flyer out just shortly.  If you live in the area and if this is something that you would be interested in, we would love to have join our group.  There is no obligation to place an order, the class is only $10 or FREE with a $15 order.

Until next time, as always, take care.

March Stamping Technique Class - Faux Metal

It just occurred to me that I never shared the cards that we made at our March Technique Class, guess the weather was too nice or I went on vacation and am just trying to catch up now!

 The March technique was faux metal, its a really neat technique and so easy, the ladies really liked it.  The cards were also masculine cards, not a single butterfly or flower was made!  The Faux Metal technique is actually just heavy duty tin foil.  For both of our Faux Metal cards we took a piece of cardstock, adherred a slightly larger piece of tin foil to it, wrapping the edges around the back side of the cardstock. Then we ran it through our Big Shot, for our cards we used the Stampin' Up! Diamond Texture Plate, it created a beautiful diamond plate.

For March, our Fancy Fold card was the Flip Flop card.  If you like to measure, score and cut then this card had it all!  Until I got the hang of it I was quite frustrated but now its a piece of cake and it makes such a fun card that it was worth all of the frustrations.  When you pull each of the sides to open the card, you get the inside which "flip flops" so that the backside of the cardstock ends up being the inside of your card.  Makes sense right, trust me!  LOL!!

And here is a photo of how the inside or backside of our card looked.

There was another card and I must not have taken a picture of it, it was my favorite so I am wondering what I was thinking.  Note to self, work on that!!

Thanks for stopping and have a great day,

Cindy

Join me at the Neillsville Memorial Medical Center, Manz Conference Room for a fun stamping technique class.

The technique for April will be Suspension Cards, with the technique leaning towards cards suitable for children!  Here is one of the Stampin' Up! stampsets we will be using:

So far we have went to the bathroom for shaving cream, the kitchen for tin foil; now we go to the fishing tackle box for fishing line!!

We will also be making another fun-fold card that the special child in your life will be sure to love.

So check your calendar, and let me know if you can make the class.

Hope to see you then!!

March Technique Class

I just realized that I never shared the cards that we made for our March Technique Class.  Throwing a vacation trip to Florida in March didn't help matters and it seems that we were pretty busy the rest of the month also!

This was the "Fancy Fold" card that we made, the fold is called a "Flip Flop" card, if you like to measure, score and cut than this card has it all!  I almost gave up on it but once I got the hang of it, then it was a piece of cake.  When you open the card by pulling on both sides to open, it lays flat so in other words the back side of your cardstock base is really your inside.  Does that make sense, kinda?!!

March Technique Class is One Week Away!
