If you already own any of these sets, I would LOVE to see your creations made with them!  Send me a picture of your projects and I'll post them on my blog for everyone to see!!!  I'm off to create a few cards this afternoon and will post them as soon as they're finished. :)


ETA:  Here are a few pictures from one of my favorite stamp sets, Fifth Avene Floral.  A few cards are mine and a few I found on the demonstrator website, created by fellow demonstrators.

Don't forget the inside of your card!  When I use a darker colored card base, I like to add a piece of white cardstock to the inside.  By adding a few stamped images, it helps dress up the inside and coordinate with the outside!

Happy stamping!

Tailor Made Simply Scrappin' 30 Cards Class

ETA:  Please note date change from April 24th to May 8th.

Wouldn’t you love to have a selection of beautifully hand-created cards to choose from for that special occasion?  Who wouldn’t love to receive a gorgeous card, unique from any other!  

Sign up for my multi-card class using the Tailor Made Simply Scrappin’ Kit and you’ll go home with 30 unique cards (all with a vintage flair) and each one created by you.  Below is a peek at a few of the cards we'll be creating.

This class will be similar to my Christmas Jingle card class I offered last year - each kit will contain all precut/prescored cardstock, 3 sheets of self-adhesive die cuts, all necessary embellishments (brads, ribbon, dimenstionals, etc) and 30 Whisper White envelopes.  Each card can be customized to your liking by adding additional stamping if desired.

You’ll have access to my ink and greeting stamp sets to customize your cards for the occasions of your choice.

Saturday, May 8th  -  1-5pm  (please note date change from April 24th)

There are two options to choose from:

1: $45.00 Class fee includes the above project materials, but does not include any adhesive. You will be required to bring your own adhesive plus a roll of scotch tape or something similar. (Works out to $1.50/card)

2: $52.00 Class fee includes the above project materials plus all adhesive. (Works out to $1.73/card)

Registration closes April 24th and class option and fee is required when you register.

All project materials will need to be ordered in advance to allow me to cut and package each class kit, so registration fee is non-refundable. If you are unable to attend the class, your class kit will still be given to you to complete at home or you are welcome to "sell" your class spot to someone else - just let me know in advance.

Happy Stamping!

 

Chicks & Chocolate & Your own "Chickie" Box

I held  my second "Chicks & Chocolate" event last night.  This one was an Easter theme and it was a full house again.  I had a group of ten fantastic ladies attend and I think everyone had fun!

The three projects we created included a card & two 3-D items which included a mini milk carton using the Mini Milk carton die with the Big Shot and an adorable little "chickie" character box which also used the Big Shot and a number of our fantastic punches.

Isn't the chickie box adorable???  These little character boxes are just the right size to fill with small treats and would be perfect for Easter.  If you are interested in creating this little chickie at home, I am selling kits only until Saturday, April 3rd for only $5 if you buy one, $4 each when you buy two kits or $3 each when you buy three or more kits.

 
Each kit will contain all precut and prepunched cardstock with step by step assembly directions.  Kit does NOT include any ink or adhesive (or nesting material!).  I've only got a limited number of kits available, so call me today!

Happy Stamping!
