Here are two of the cards you will be making in this 5 card class. If you'd like a few special cards to send out this year, this is the class for you. There will also be a Hanukkah design this year. Classes will be held on November 1st and 25th. The cost is $20 for 5 unique cards. Please RSVP at least 10 days in advance. Space is limited so don't delay. Again, I am happy to set up this class to be exclusive to your friends and family. Please call or email me to book your date.
The ever popular Stamp A Stack has returned! Here are just three samples of the cards you can choose from and make this year. Classes will be held on October 24th and November 29th at my stamping studio. If neither of these days is convenient or if you'd like to have a class with just your friends/family, please call or email me to set up another date. To see the other card choices, please email and I will send you the other photos. Cards are $3 each (with envelopes) or if you make 6 of one design you will get a discounted $15 for the 6. Space is limited so reserve your spot soon. RSVP is 10 days in advance to make sure I have enough supplies. Hope to see you there!!
Pete's 5th birthday has come and gone and we are finally getting around to have a party for him. He started out with just wanting three friends to come over to play (woo hoo) to having a list of 9 friends to take to mini-putt (oh my aching head)! He insisted on making all of his invitations with no help and so he did. He even stamped "you're invited" and the "for, time, place, RSVP" inside each of them and of course signed the back so everyone knew he had made them! I was really impressed with all of the invites and wanted to share them with you. I love seeing my kids creativity coming out and especially when they take such care to make each project unique. It was hard to give them all out as he wanted to keep all of them. I promised we'd always have the picture of them and of course we'll do a scrapbook page. I only wish I had taken a few pics of him actually making them. Oh well, next year! Have a good rest of the week.
Using the penguin and saying from Cold and Cuddly in the holiday mini catalogue, my 5 year old made this card for our friend Diane who was under the weather last week. Pete designed it all by himself and only asked me to tie the bow! He also used the "get well wishes" from Teeny Tiny Wishes. This set which has 24 sentiments, covers pretty much every card occasion. If you love this penguin as much as I do, look for an upcoming posting of a preview of my holiday card making class coming on the weekend!
Here's the cute "girl bear" from the Beary Best Friends stamp set which is now available in the Holiday Mini Catalogue. It's on page 34 and sells for $24.95. I love the versatility of this set and can't wait to use it in some Kids Classes. Again, I was using up some retired paper for this one! There are some great Build A Bear products available in the Mini and hopefully we will be seeing more in the future. Make sure you don't miss the Pawsitively Prints Designer Paper on page 36. It uses all sorts of colours and would work well on many projects. If you don't have the Holiday Mini, please email me so I can get you a copy.
Everything old is new again! I needed to make up a bunch more cards for Boomerang Kids as they are selling like fire there lately. I have been trying to use up some retired patterned paper. I love this paper from Sale-A-Bration. The colours are perfect for baby cards and scrap pages. I used the train from Teddy & Train (pg 77, $23.95) and some retired gingham ribbon to finish it off. This would make a great shower card I think.
Many thanks to everyone who participated in my All Day Crop on Saturday! It was really a fun day and I so enjoyed hanging out with good friends. I heard many positive comments thus will look at doing another one in the winter. Here's a picture of the remaining flowers that I made for everyone who attended. They are made with the Big Shot Daisies #2 Die and are a lot of fun to make. I'll have to make more to fill up my pot! The Crop raised $190 which will go directly to the Parkinson's Society Super Walk being held in September. THANK YOU EVERYONE!
Ok, this is a very belated post as did these up a couple weeks ago. I am loving the new In Colours which I used on both of these cute kids cards. The polka dot ribbon is so awesome since you get two ribbons in one with the reverse being solid. The new Look Who's Turning set has that adorable hippo - love the party hat!! Have a great afternoon!
Ok ok...I like trees! This card is quick and simple yet works perfectly for a masculine birthday, a sympathy card or even just a thinking of you. I used Trendy Trees stamp set in Chocolate Chip and Old Olive. The paper is Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue and Whisper White. This will probably show up in the Stamp A Stack or some other class also. Have a great day and try to make your own "man cards" this week.
I always seem to be challenged to come up with masculine cards. It's so easy to make pretty, flowery cards but "man cards" elude me at times. So this weekend I sat down and came up with a few that I am happy with and thought I'd share them with you today. Here is the first one I created. It uses the Lovely As A Tree stamp set in Chocolate Chip. I used the sponge daubers to add Ruby Red, Old Olive and More Mustard leaves and grass. The paper is Close to Cocoa, Ruby Red and Very Vanilla. If you need some "man cards", this will be part of my next Stamp A Stack coming in the Fall.
