Sale-A-Bration Card Class

Hey All!

These are the cards from the latest card class! There were a variety of styles for any occasion!

For the 1st card we created a gatefold card using the Growing Green stamp set, & the 1st Edition designer paper from the Occasions Mini Catalog.




here's the inside :)



This card has many of the Sale-a-bration goodies offered only until March 31st!!! We used Punch Bunch & So Happy for You stamp sets, and Ice Cream Parlor designer paper. (cased from Ilena Crouse)



The next card was created with the Create a Cupcake stamp set & Build a Cupcake punch. Simply adorable!!! We created texture on the frosting with one of the Big Shot embossing folders. Unique card size was created with the Big Shot Scallop Die cut. (card idea cased from Debbie Henderson)



The Build a Blossom stamp set & coordinating punch are AWSOME!!! Featured in the Occasions Mini Catalog, page 12. There are so many options with the flowers... (Card was cased from a fellow demonstrator on the Stampin' Up! Stampin' Connection)



The last card was created with the Clearly for You & Cute & Curly stamp sets. The class learned how to re-size the new textured impressions framed tulips embossing folder. Background was stamped with the woodgrain background stamp.



Thanks to all that attended, & if you missed this one, hope you can attend next time!

Occassions Mini Cupcake Cards

Well, I must say, the Stampin' Up! Occassions Mini Catalog has been one of my favorite mini catalogs ever!!! It is full of must have itms... and I think the Create a Cupcate stamp set & Build a Cupcake punch (featured on page 22) are definitely on that list! This stamp set & matching punch are absolutely adorable.

Here are a few swap cards featuring the Create a Cupcake stamp set. And, don't forget Sale-A-Bration ends March 31st!!! With a $50 purchase receive a FREE Sale-A-Bration Item!!!


The Create a Cupcake & Build a Cupcake Punch are featured on this card! We used the Scalloped Square Big Shot Die Cut to make a unique card! Also, used an embossing folder on the cupcake frosting to add texture! (Cased from Debbie Henderson)



I really like this one! We used the new Framed Tulip Textured Empressions Embossing Folder and I taught the gals how to re-size the folder! I love how it turned out! We used the new Clearly for You stamp set for focal image, & Cute & Curly stamp set for the sentiment. Soft Suede card base was stamped with the woodgrain background stamp! This card could be a great masculine card!



Thanks to everyone that attended. If you missed this class, I hope you can attend next time :) And, contace me if you would like for me to share any of these techniques with you & your friends at your' in-home workshop!

It was great getting together with my Stamp Patch Team members to swap cards, ideas, and enjoy new friendships. Thanks to those that attended & shared their creativity & ideas with each of us! To those that couldn't attend, we missed you :( Hope you can come next time!

Here are the great projects everyone created!



1st card was created by Wilma H. using the Occassions Mini catalog stamp set, Valentine Defined! She also used the flourish from Baby Blossoms behind the Swans image. She also used the Big Shot Polk-a-dot embossing folder, & jewel. Very cute! And, this stamp set would be great for weddding or anniversary cards too! There are a lot of possibilities with this one!



Created by Carol M. this adorable project uses the Big Shot Matchbox Die cut with the Love Letter designer paper. Front sentiment is from Matchbox Messages, which coordinates with the Matchbox Die label shapes. Sentiment inside is from Elements of Style. 4 candies fit perfectly inside!



Created by Karen P. beautiful card was created with For All You Do stamp set, & vase was created with the Ornament Punch.



My project CASED from Illia Crouse. Baby Blossoms stamp set was used for the focus of the card, with Beveled Windowpane overlay. (THEY ARE GORGEOUS in person!). I also used the Textured Impressions Embossing folder, Framed Tulips, new designer paper Springtime Vintage, new Baja Breeze seam binding ribbon(attached with sticky strip). I loved her card sample using all my new goodies from the Occassions Mini Catalog!

Valentines to Share!

Lots of Love Letterpress Plate, it is amazing! Melon Mambo Pompom Trim, and I Heart Hearts stamp set! Fun, simple card!

Snow Scrapbook Page...How Timely!

Today I am sharing the scrapbook page we did in January. And, how timely...we have been getting bucket loads of snow. So, there are plenty of photo op's for this snow theme!

The base color is Bashful blue, accets are Pacific Point, Poppy Parade, & Whisper White. We used the Level I Hostess designer paper pack for accents. The gals are learning that you don't need 12 x 12 designer paper for the accents, we cheat "a lot" by using scraps for the accent borders.

The little stacked snowman was a hit! I found that idea from fellow demonstrator, Andrea Wolford. With the circles die cut, it made easy work of the snowman. we also used the small oval, & snowflake punches to finish him. And, the little flower was from the BoHo blossoms punch. Snowflakes are from the Sizzix Sizzlet snowflakes die cuts. Page header was created with th Lovely Letters stamp set, 1 1/4 & 1 3/8 circle punches. The Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border was used for the edge across the designer paper accents.

Snow much fun to create!!!

Come back soon for more creative ideas!
