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 July 26, 2018

The top 2 cards Nancy taught and the bottom 2 were mine.  We used the Stamparatus to stamp the die cuts on the tea card.  Boy I love that tool!

July 11th Canal Street Class Cards

I CASED this card from Stampin' Success magazine.  I used A Round Array stamp set instead of World Treasures.  I stamped in Daffodil Delight.  The clay buttons were colored with Strawberry Slush, Old Olive and Costal Cabana ink.  The stamped images at the top and bottom of the card are from Mosaic Madness.

This is the second card that I designed for class on July 13th.  I love the new designer paper packs!  The color is blushing bride.

After I made a card with thin strips of paper to make a lattice for the open house,  Nancy and I talked about using the lattice die to make another card for class.  This is what Nancy came up with.  Another great Flower Shop card.

This is the card from the open house where I wove the strips of paper.  It was a CASED card.

Here's Nancy's second card.  Nancy and I both love the hostess stamp set Simply Sketched that was used.  Host a party today or join one of my clubs to earn this stamp set. 

June 27th Canal Street Class Cards

The top two cards were taught by Nancy Thompson.  The bottom two cards were taught by Carrie.  I cased both cards.  The first one was from Robyn Noden .  This type of get well card was requested by Linda Fisher.  Before we did it at class Linda had already made a  card like it at home.  The wedding/anniversary card I cased from Connie Babbert. 

Nancy's March 28th Canal Street Class Cards

This beautiful card was CASed from Mary Fish.  It took some assembly with 12 squares, 3 brads, a large rhinestone, 3 small rhinestones, a popped up 2 layer butterfly, and a popped up flower and happy day greeting.

We are always suprised about which cards we get the most comments on.  This is the card Nancy received the most compliments on.  We expected the top one to be the favorite.  Which is your favorite?
