Timeless Tidings Christmas Card Class October 4, 2018

This class will cost $25 to make 20 cards.  I will purchase the kit for you and you will use my ink and my stamp set.  If you want to do the kit on your own you will need to purchase Timeless Tidings stamp set #148939 for $20 and the Timeless Tidings Project Kit #148028 for $20 plus shipping and tax on both.  You will also need ink.  The kit suggests Jet Black StazOn.  I used Mossy Meadow and Cherry Cobbler.  This kit is truly one of the most beautiful kits they have designed.  The cards have a beautiful foil edge as well as the envelopes.  Watch the video below to see more details.  I will have the class at both 9 am and 1 pm.  Contact me ASAP so I can order the kits before they go on back order.

Canal Class August 23,2018

This is Nancy's first card.  She used Share What You Love DSP, Lovely Floral embossing folder, Make a Difference stamp set.  The colors are Tuxedo Black Memento and Petal Pink.

This is the screen card I taught.  I did case this card from Pinterest.  I used Cherry Cobbler and Basic Black cardstock, gold glimmer paper, gold embossing powder.  The stamp set is All Good Things.  I did have to cut some of the images apart.  Use a heavy duty scissors to snip carefully between the images to separate. I also used gold foil paper behind the cut outs.  I used Eastern Palace dies which I didn't realize until just now have retired.  That was my addition to this screen card.  To punch the legs I used Everyday Label punch.

This is my second card using Coastal Cabana, Highland Heather, and Whisper White cardstock.  The lily pads are colored with Old Olive and Highland Heather.  The images are from Lily Pad Lake stamp set with matching dies.  The card below is Nancy's second card.  The colors are Pacific Point  Whisper White, and Silver glimmer paper.  The stamp sets are Pop of Petal and Healing Hugs.  She also used four-Petal Punch and the gorgeous Delicate Lace Edgelits.

Asian Screen Card

This is the first card I made with All Good Things stamp set.  When I saw this set in the catalog, I new I had to have it to make Asian Screen cards.  I made a triple fold to fit in a standard A 2 envelope by folding over one section.  I knew something was just not right with the card.  I think it was the small size.  Then I found the card idea below on Pinterest ,so it is cased.  I made mine with glimmer paper instead of gold foil.  I new after making it that it had to be modified for class because it took to much time to cut that border.  I had to cut apart the greeting from the large goldfish image.  I used Granite Gray ink and colored with Pumpkin Pie Blends.  The card stock colors are Granite Gray and Pumpkin Pie. 

This is the card I ended up making for class.  I hope they like it.  The class is Thursday July 26 at both 9 am and 1 pm.  If you haven't signed up yet there is room.  Contact me today to reserve your spot.  It is a four panel screen card.  It needs to be folded in 4 to fit in a A 2 envelope.  The images are heated embossed with gold embossing powder.  The card stock colors are Cherry Cobbler and Basic Black.  Other products needed are  1 1/4" circle punch or die, Decorative Ribbon punch, Everyday Label punch, Eastern Medallions framelits/dies and Lakeside framelits.  I colored the rhinstones with Cherry Cobbler Blends.

Recent Stamparatus Class Cards

Here are the 2 wreath cards my ladies made at the class using the hexagon template.  They choose one of the two to make.  Get the hexagon download to print by clicking here.  The left card uses Pennant Parade and Stitched All Around while the right card uses Happy Birthday Gorgeous.  More ladies made the card on the right.  Which one would you make?

This card we punched the lemon pieces and then stamped them in a template for quicker results.

This is what the hexagon template looks like.  Turn it 8 times to get a wreath shape.  You can use flowers and leaves, hearts or circles to make a Spirograph looking card.  It allows for multiple sizes of squares.  I laminated it and used repositional adhesive to hold the square on the template temporarily.  If you rather have a circle instead or a square, trim the square into a circle after stamping.

I also made a laminated grid with a magnet backing to fit in the Stamparatus.  I have a plastic topped mouse pad made for the MISTI.  I suggested to Stampin' Up that they make one for the Stamparatus.   I hope they do. In the mean time this is a good substitute.  I found directions from Jody Brechbill on Youtube.  It really helps the magnets hold tight as the photopolymer stamps are so sticky it sometimes lifts the paper.
