I am going for a new look :-)  Come back in a few days :-)

Hi All,

Card Buffet was a fun, exciting time :-)  I love to see how my ladies use my designs and tweak it a little to come up with their own designs :-)  A lot of fun had by all :-)  Pictures will come soon.
I have had a lot of questions when is the next class.  So, here goes with classes coming up!


In each card class we will make 4 cards with envelopes included.  The cost is $20.00. If you are a hostess club member then it is $15.00.

Thurs. Mar 5 - 11 - 2
Sat. Mar.7 - 10 -1

Card Class -  Easter/Spring cards

Card Buffet is different from the card classes.  It is $10.00 to attend and then $1.50 for each card you make.  This is your opportunity to make more of one card if you like.  For example, if you wanted to make more than 1 of a card we made in class you can at this gathering.

Looking forward to seeing you at these classes.  remember, if you bring a friend I have a little gift for you and your guest :-)

Happy New Year!!  I hope you all had a lovely Christmas Holiday!  One of my resolutions for 2015 is keep up with Blog better.  Here are some pictures of the cards from classes, card buffets, and tags class.

 These were the 10 Tags class. As you can see there were a lot of different techniques used to create these. Numerous stamps, punches, ribbons, Linen Threads, and embossing folders.

 These were two cards from Nov. class. This used two different embossing folders, framlets , and punches.  It also used the Cherry Cobbler holiday ribbon.

 Another two cards from Nov, class. These were made using White Christmas stamp set, and Get Your Santa On stamps.  Also, used the Starburst framelets.

 This group of cards were made at the card buffet.  This first card was made using the Nordic Noel DSP and Soft Sky cs.  The Christmas Bauble was colored using Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities.

 Newborn King stamp was embossed used silver embossing powder.

 Gentle Peace stamps were used with Blackberry Bliss cs and embossed using silver embossing powder. A silver glitter star was the only other addition.

 These were the cards made in the Dec. card class.  My first time to use the spotlight technique.  These were both made using Ornamental Pine stamps. Also, Early Espresso and Always Artichoke inks.

 As you can see, the Santa card was made to open up and have Santa climbing down the chimney.  The card just wouldn't open up enough to see Santa centered in the circle above the Chimney.

So, I am coming up on my 1 year anniversary with being a Stampin Up Demonstrator! It has been so much fun getting to know everyone and sharing life events with you.

I am going to have an Open House so you can see all the new items from the Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs on Friday Jan. 16th from 11:00 - 3:00pm and Sat. Jan. 17th from 2:00 - 5:00pm. This is a time you can come make a quick project, see the new items and catch up with your friends.

For my Hostess club members, this will be taking the place of our Jan. gathering, so you will be able to put your orders in at this time. 

Drum roll please.....because you have helped me have a good start to my business venture if you bring a friend with you, you will both receive a small token of my appreciation, and it will give you a chance to sign up to win $10.00 of your next order. I will be doing 3 drawings after the gathering on Sat.

Look forward to seeing everyone
BIG HUUUGGGGGG!!!!!

Good Morning!

Boy Nov. is almost already half over! I have some new classes to announce and dates. I am going to be having a Card Buffet, which is $10.00 to attend and then for each card you make it is $1.50. Which means if you see a card and you want to make more than one of it you can, unlike in class where you make one card of each design. I will be including some of our past cards that we have made in classes but there will be new ones also. The Buffets will take place on:

Wed. Nov. 19th from 10:00 - 4:00
Sat. Nov. 22nd - 10:00 - to 4:00

You can come for the entire time or come for just awhile. Come during those times on those dates. Bring a lunch and come socialize. This is my first one, so I'm sure there will be some "bugs" that will have to be worked out. I have tried to accommodate a gathering for those gals who don't work and also for those gals who do and can only do a weekend
I have also added a 10 Tags/Mini cards class for:
Dec. 1st - Monday 11-2
Dec. 6th - Sat. - 10-1

More details later
Enjoy this cool weather

Here are the cards that we did in the August classes.

 The cards made in class had the Melon Mambo square smaller and better in proportion.

 This was another quilt card that was made with Sweet Taffy DSP., as well as Hello Honey and Mossy Meadow cs.

 This was the Flower Patch stamps using the new In Colors ink.

 This was my favorite this month.  It is a Twisted Easel card using a retired stamp set, Gently Falling, but using all the new In Colors.
