Post it Holder Club Card

 This is one of the cards my Club made this month. I used Beautifully Happy stamp set which is free with $100 purchase during Salebration while supplies last.  The dies used are Framed Florets. The colors used are Granny Apple Green and Gorgeous Grape.  The ribbon used is retired. Cut the base piece 4 1/4” x 11. Score at 5 1/2”, 2 3/4”. Cut another piece for the front 4 1/4” x 5 1/2”. White Cardstock is cut 4 x 5 1/4”. Another scrap of white is needed to cut the oval. I used 3 x 3 post it notes.

Seaside Bay Make ‘n Take Card

This is the card those that attended the mini catalog open house on January 5 were able to make. The card base is Mint Macaron. The By the Bay paper coordinates with Coastal Cabana according to the catalog but I think Mint Macaron matches better. I love the gold in the designer paper.  Being I live in Florida and love the beach this stamp set is my favorite in the new mini catalog. The images are stamped in Crumb Cake and Mint Macaron ink. The shells are colored with Petal Pink Blend.I added a Petal Pink die cut shell to the bottom of the card.  I have classes upcoming on January 12 and 26 at Canal Street Recreation Center at 9 am and 1 pm. I also have a new class starting at Lake Okahumpka Recreation Center on February 10 at 12:45. Contact me to preregister by calling 414-801-0870.

 

Canal Class October 8, 2021

 The first 2 cards were taught by Nancy.

This is Carrie's card using Detailed Bands dies and Sounds of the Seasons dies. The 2 pictures below I used retired salebration paper, dies, and stamp set. We had so many classes canceled this Spring we are trying to use up some of those supplies that did not get used.  I did use the So Sentimental bundle for the greeting from the 2020-21 annual catalog.  I love that pretty dsp and this was a perfect fold to show it off. I cased the card from Patty Bennett.

Canal Street Class from August 27,2020

These top 2 cards were taught by Nancy. The card below I copied(cased) the idea for the look of a make up compact from Pinterest.  The front design is my own.  I used leftover DSP from the Spring Mini catalog.  The die on the front is the new Hippo and friends dies found in the Annual Catalog.  It is becoming one of my favorite die sets.  The next card is a different fold called Double Flap Fold that I cased from Leann Greff.  I made a few changes with a punched instead of stamped jar and also an extra stamped piece on the inside right of flap.  Scan to the bottom of page to see her Youtube.

Tasteful Touches Window Card

Canal Street Class July 11, 2019

The top 2 cards I taught at class.  The Tropical Chic card above uses Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo inks.  I cased this card from Pinterest.  The second card is made with the Royal Peacock Bundle. The colors are Blueberry Bushel and  Granny Apple Green inks and Pretty Peacock Blends.  I used a coordinating embossing folder called Beads and Babbles and the Noble Peacock Specialty Paper.  You can purchase the ribbon and rhinestones, paper and matching foil and the stamp set and dies with one grand bundle number #152187 for $92.75.  It is all so beautiful.  These colors are so pretty together.  The 2 cards below were taught by Nancy Thompson. 

Canal Street Class May 23,2019

                                                     The top two cards were taught by Nancy.

This first card of mine was made with Sweetest Thing stamp set. This was one of my favorite stamp sets in the Occasions catalog, available while supplies last.  I love the DSP colors Pineapple Punch, Gorgeous Grape, Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo.  I had Jolly Rancher candies on the table for everyone to enjoy during class.  I love sour candy.  How about you? We cut the shapes with the matching dies then used the Stamparatus to stamp the outlines of the jar and the greeting.  I love the glitter enamel dots that coordinate perfectly.  Stampin' Up's coordinating products is what drew me to this great company.  The bottom card uses beautiful DSP called Petal Promenade. It paired so well with the Delicate Lace Edgelits(comes with 3 different lace edgelits).  I love each one!  We heat embossed the Sympathy greeting with Gold embossing powder and finished it off with 1/8" gold ribbon bow.

You Are My Missing Piece

This is another card I designed for class on January 24.  They had 2 options for this card. This one was only chosen by a few but it was my favorite.  The stamp set is called Love You to Pieces.  Thanks for looking today.  

Valentine Cards for Florida Youth Ranches

Nancy's creation

                                    Cased from Pinterest

                                      Cased from Mary Fish

                                                My design

On Thursday my Create in the Sun team met to make cards for the Florida Sheriff's Youth Ranches. We love to help out by making these special cards for them for holidays through out the year. Most of the youth are teenage boys so it is a challenge to design cards that appeal to them. We also make cards for cottage parents.  Thank you Mary Elizabeth, Marjean, Lisa, Nancy, Diane, Doris, Carol, and Carolyn.  I think the friends of the Youth Ranches will be pleased with what we created.

Needle &Thread Stampin' Fun

After returning from Orlando On Stage event, some of my team met to "play" with our new stuff from the Occasions preorder.  Doris wanted to use the Needle & Thread set.  She is an avid quilter, watercolor painter, and rubberstamper. The card you see above was created by her.  I love the new Gingham Gala paper that we received for attending On Stage along with many other goodies.  This new stamp set is a Distinktive set.   It's amazing how it looks like stitching.  It has wonderful matching dies.  One of the dies makes a beautiful stitched looking design seen on the card below.

This card I made using a new butterfly punch and the Gingham DSP.  The butterflies were cut out of DSP available with a $50 purchase January 3 through March. The other 2 stitched cards were made by Rona and Carolyn.  See the Stampin' Up video below about this new product.  We learned a great tip at On Stage about distinctive stamps and very inky stamp pads.  If a pad is brand new or just reinked it may be too inky for the distinctive stamps and you may not see the detail.  All you need to do is use a plastic spoon or bone folder to push the ink away in a spot on the pad.  Brilliant!  Then you have an area that is just right.

Canal Class December 13 2018

 This is Nancy's card using sponging technique instead of coloring with markers. Many people have overlooked this great stamp set in the annual catalog page 59, Peaceful Place. It looks great stamped in one color, sponged, or colored in.

This is Nancy's second card using Still Night, retiring soon with matching dies. It comes with 2 great greetings wishing you a season filled with beauty and sending warm wishes your way.

 This is a card I cased from a swap I received during November Stampin' Up On Stage event. It uses Artistically Asian stamp set and stripes EF.  I used Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I taught the group how to use the stamparatus and markers to stamp the floral image. If it's to light, it is so easy to do another coat or add ink to one spot. Because the lower part of the image is all leaves we used the Mossy Meadow ink spot to do that part for quicker stamping . The background strip uses versamark ink and gold embossing powder.

This card was my design. The stamp set is Alpine Adventure and matching dies, retiring soon. Order yours today. I also used Bokeh Dots with Balmy Blue ink on the stamparatus to create one panel. The other panel is embossed with Cable Knit EF. The mat is embossed with Softly Falling EF. I hope you liked my wintery card. The only snow I see here in Florida is on the cards I make. I like it that way!

Canal Class November 29, 2018

These are the two versions of my Farmhouse Christmas card made at class November 29.  I used Garage Gears dies available on January 3, 2019 on the birthday version. The dsp is called Festive Farmhouse.

I cased this card from Amy Koenders.  I used Winter Woods bundle.  We placed glitter on the tips of the branches. The greeting is heated embossed with white embossing powder.  These next 2 cards were taught by Nancy.
