Canal Class September 12, 2019

Both my cards were cased this time.  I used Woven Heirlooms Bundle.  The center piece of paper with the sympathy greeting is DSP called Woven Threads.  The frame was cut from Pretty Peacock cardstock.  Using two pieces of the stamp set the 4 x 5 1/4 piece was stamped with Sahara Sand and Pretty Peacock ink.  To add a little more texture I stamped on the leaves and punched them out with Leaf punch.  I also used the sprig punch and sparkle glimmer paper.  The flower was cut with Medium Daisy Punch.

This next Christmas card is my very favorite bundle from the Holiday Catalog.  It's called Frosted Foliage.  The colors are Whisper White and Seaside Spray.  I few rhinestones just finishes it off.  If you really want to step this card up, you could use the new Shimmery Crystal Effects and Ice Stampin' Glitter.  It will take at least a hour to dry.

These next 2 cards were prepared by Nancy but Keely helped her out and taught the class with me.  Special thanks to my friend Doris for finishing the last hour of my class so I could make my changed flight to my nieces wedding.

Purple Posy Ink Pads and refills Available & 3 D Embossing Folders

There are a few new updates from Stampin' Up.  First of all the long awaited Purple Posy Ink Pad and refill from the 2019-2021 In Colors are now available for order.  Stampin' Up redesigned the way they make 3D embossing folders so those that carried over were not available for the last few months.  I am happy to say that you can now order any of the 3 D folders from the Annual Catalog.  The Hammered Metal 3 D embossing folder is now available to order as well(found in the Holiday Catalog).  Don't forget that you need to use the 3 D Blue Big Shot Plate #149658 for $10 instead of a Clear Big Shot Cutting Plate.  You could also try using the Silicone craft sheet with the Clear Big Shot cutting plate.

On the horizon is a new Stampin' Up Trimmer with both Metric and Imperial Measurements on it.  The cost of the trimmer will be $25.  Demonstrators can order it this month and customers starting next month.  If you want to sign up to be a demonstrator it can be placed on the starter kit.  Refill blades in packs of 4 will be available too.
