I've been away for a few days.  Working on cards for my class Sunday and also for the SU convention swap I am in.

Today the card is using the watercolor technique and the You Got This stamp set. (139575)clear

The colors used were the new In Colors of Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush.  Using watercolor paper we stamped with Versa Mark(102283) and embossed with white embossing powder (109132).  Then using the Aqua painter brush (103954) we colored it in with Watermelon Wonder (138323) and Cucumber Crush (138324) inks. The Watermelon Wonder lace (138425) was used as well as the new In Color embellishments (138383).

The card was a Z- Fold card using Watermelon Wonder (138334) and Very Vanilla (101650) for the inside of the card. The saying is also from the stamp set and punched out using the Decorative Label punch ( 120907)

These are some pictures showing the class making the cards in this class.

More cards made and pictures coming next time.

I hope you all had a fun, exciting and safe 4th of July!

My next card is the last one in the masculine class.  It was an idea I saw from Brian King's blog on paper layering to make a card.  I really liked the look of just a simple stamping but different colors and sizes of paper.

As you can see I started with Mossy Meadow cardstock and then used the different sizes of Crumb Cake and Whisper White. The train was stamped in Crumb Cake ink and comes from the stamp set Traveler.  Sending Wishes Your Way comes from the Butterfly Basics stamp set.

Happy 4th of July!!

Here is a third card from the masculine class.This is a versatile card for so many different occasions, such as birthday, congratulations, brother, father, uncle, just to name a few.

I used Early Espresso for the base and center part of the card.  I also used some of the new neutrals designer papers for the stripes.  The car comes from Guy Greetings along with the two sentiments.

I stamped it using Early Espresso ink.  I added three gems and used the blendabilities to color them with.

Here is the second card I made for the masculine class.

I really liked this one that I found on Pinterest. I made it using Lost Lagoon ink and card stock.  I also used black card stock for the base card and the larger of the 2 ovals used on the card.

I stamped the ship in Memento Tuxcedo black ink on Whisper White card stock and then used the next size smaller of the oval framelet to cut it out.

The stamp set I used was the ship from the Traveler on pg. 82 of the new SU catalog. I also used the Arrows embossing folder.

If you want to order any of these products click on my Stampin Up site and when you are through shopping put in this code QGJ7N2YP so it will appear in my July order.

Have a good Thursday!

Today I'm going to share a card from our masculine card class I did before Father's Day.

I used Guy Greetings for this card that I found on Pinterest.  The colors used were Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, and Night of Navy for the card stock colors.  Using Crumb Cake ink the anchor was stamped randomly on the bigger Very Vanilla piece.  Happy Birthday, Your My Anchor and the lone anchor were stamped using Night of Navy ink.

I hope you enjoyed this first card in the series of 4 masculine cards in this class.

I need to take pictures of the rest of the cards for this class and the new product class, so hopefully we have some sunshine Thursday :-)

I have set up an online place where you can order these products from.  Go to the Stampin Up site by clicking my website that is on the front right side of my blog. and then put in this code number QGJ7N2YP to add an order when you are through shopping.

Till next time HUGS to all :-)

Good Morning,
Before the card buffet starts today I wanted to put my July and August schedules out for you.  These next two months are going to be busy!

July 12  - 2:00 - 5:00

July orders must be to me by the 19th, so I can get it in before I leave for the SU convention on the 21st!!  This will be the last month for the 12 month group, before we start up again in August. Depending on how many remain will determine whether it is 12 months or just 6 months. More information later :-)

Enjoying this day of not having any rain!  Brett and I started to straighten out the room he wants to make into his "man-cave" today.  He said he needs a place to go when I am having gals over for card classes. :-)  So, we worked for about 3 hours today getting started!  A lot of shredding took place!!

Now for the card today.  It also comes from the Spring/Mother's Day class. The stamp set used was from the Occasions catalog called Mother's Love.   It uses Whisper White as the base card, then Melon Mambo DSP dots for the next layer.  Crushed Curry and Whisper White for the remaining layers.   The flowers were stamped using Memento Tuxcedo Black ink, and then coloring them in using Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Coastal Cabana, and Garden Green Stampin' Write Markers.

The flower was made with a stamp from Petite Petals and Melon Mambo ink. Then punched using the Petite Petal punch and using a stampin' dimensional to adhere it to the card.

The sentiment also comes from the stamp set Mother's Love, and was stamped in Coastal Cabana ink.

Hope you enjoy!

Hugs,
Penny

 The rain is finally stopping :-) Just taking it easy today.

Today's card was made using the Basic Butterfly stamp set and framelets that go with it. I chose Night of Navy and Wisteria Wonder as the main colors.

 Stamped the background images using Wisteria Wonder and Night of Navy inks.  Then stamped the flower image in Memento Tuxcedo Black Ink, then colored it in using Wisteria Wonder and Wild  Wasabi stampin' markers.  Then I fussy cut it out and used stampin' dimensionals to adhere it to the card.

 Using Night of Navy for the background wire design and letter postmark. Also stamped the butterflies in Night of Navy and then used the Butterfly framelet and Itty Bitty Butterfly punch.  Completed it using Wisteria Wonder ribbon and sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and used the Word Window punch to punch it out with. I adhered it to the card with stampin' dimensionals.

I have an order code on my SU site where you can place an order for any of the items you see here on my blog for the month of June. It is YDFT99AE

HI All,
Sorry I didn't post yesterday, but it was a very hectic day!   I'm starting today to post a card from the ones we made at the April card class.

 It is made using the Honeycomb thinlet, Flower Shop stamp set and Petite Petals stamps.  Once the flowers were stamped they were punched out using the Pansy punch and Petite Petals punch.
were Bermuda Bay and Wild Wasabi.  Whisper White and Bermuda Bay cardstock was used. I found the idea on Pinterest on Debby's Designs, but I changed the colors and added a butterfly to it.

Tomorrow I will post another card from this class.
This group of cards will be added to the next card buffet June 25th and the 27th.

Enjoy,
Hugs,
Penny
