Stampin’ Up! for the Library Class!

Stampin’ Up! for the Library Class!

Hey there! Super-duper quick post today with just one picture!  I have a class to do at the Mt Vernon Public Library this afternoon at 2 p.m. I just wanted to take a quick minute to share the two cards we will be making:

Stampin’ Up! A Nice Cuppa!

Stampin’ Up! A Nice Cuppa!

Hey there! Today I have another card for you, which is also a card we will be making in the January Online Class! I played with the A Nice Cuppa stamp set and Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack:

Stampin_up_a_nice_cuppa_1 - Copy

When I found that the Cups & Kettle Framelit Die for the teapot cut the top separate from the body, I knew I had to make it "speak"! I used the birthday phrase from Sunburst Sayings, punched with the Sweetheart Punch. I added little hearts from the Hearts Border punch for the "steam trail".

I couldn't resist cutting my teapot from a piece of the adorable Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack. How cute are those little teapots????? I embossed the Bermuda Bay background with the Happy Hearts folder. It's not just for Valentine's Day, you know?!

A Tea Lace Doily folded over makes a great tablecloth. I added a bow tied with Melon Mambo 1/4" Cotton Ribbon just for another pop of pink!

Stampin_up_a_nice_cuppa_4 - Copy

Inside is stamped with more A Nice Cuppa images and I lined the envelope with another piece of Have a Cuppa Designer Paper.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Birthday!

Hey there! I'm working on some projects right now that aren't quite ready to publish, so today I'm sharing with you a couple of cute birthday swaps I received at Dallas OnStage. After an event I always go through my swaps and make a collection of the ones that I'm most impressed with and want to use for a future event. Today's swaps I will be CASEing for my "Stampin' in the New Year" class on January 1st & 2nd!

Kristin Wiggins created this simple party hat card with the Happy Birthday, Everyone set, Cherry on Top Designer Paper, Real Red Pom-Pom Trim, and Silver cording. Her design is so simple but SO CUTE!

Stampin_up_happy_birthday_everyone_1

Jessica Samuels also used Cherry on Top paper for her swap. She used a greeting from Boys Will Be Boys, then used one of the paper-piercing templates from the Eclectic Paper-Piercing templates for the background. A simple star cut with the smallest Stars Framelits, finished off with a single rhinestone gives this card perfection!

Stampin_up_boys_will_be_boys

I can see this layout and paper-piercing technique used for many different occasions, can't you?

Stampin’ Up! Vintage Leaves Birthday!

Stampin’ Up! Vintage Leaves Birthday!

Hey there! I LOVE the Vintage Leaves set almost as much as Lighthearted Leaves! I CASED (and changed) a swap by Karen Trelfa to create my 3rd card for the September Online Birthday Class:

Stampin_up_vintage_leaves_1 - Copy

Karen's card was shades of Stampin' Up! greens. I used Rich Razzleberry as my main color, also stamping the leaves in Cajun Craze and Tip Top Taupe.

Stampin_up_vintage_leaves_2 - Copy

A phrase from Petite Pairs in Rich Razzleberry on a Very Vanilla scrap, cut with one of the Leaflets Framelits, was adhered with a Stampin' Dimensional. I added a knot of into the Woods 3/8" Cotton Ribbon with a glue dot.

A splatter from Gorgeous Grunge, stamped with Tip Top Taupe, pulls the scattering of leaves together.

Inside I repeated the leaves, finishing off with the companion Petite Pairs phrase:

Stampin_up_vintage_leaves_3 - Copy

What's the Online Class? Every month I create three cards, birthday themed. Everyone ordering at least $35 (before shipping & tax) by the 30th of the month in my Online Store will receive 6 cards with envelopes, two of each of the three designs, and instructions for free!

In September there are TWO Online Classes, Birthdays and Christmas. Each are available with an order of $35 in my online store using these Hostess Codes:

September Birthday:  RRSGTX6J

September Christmas: CCE4ERTQ

If you want both classes, simply place an order of $70 using ONE Hostess Code and I will send you both classes by the middle of October!
