April Classes

My 3-D class that was held on Sunday, March 22nd, was a great success.  Everyone thought the projects were super cute and not hard to make at all.  The bound coaster books were the big hit.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the place that I ordered them from.  It was so long ago!  I'll keep searching and when/if I find it, I will let you know.  The binding machine I used is called the Bind-It-All and I bought it on Amazon.com. 

The April classes will be all about Occassions:  baby, wedding, birthday, graduation and sympathy.  Here is a sneak peek;

The sentiment may change, but here is the card.  It's made using a stamp set from the annual catalog, "An Open Heart".  It has beautiful images as well as great sentiments.  The bottom of the card was stamped with the background stamp "Hardwood", also found in the annual catalog. 

Be sure to contact me to sign up for this class.  You will enjoy it!  As always, you can either come to my house, or I will take the class to your house.  If you have it in your house, invite some friends for a few hours of creativity, fellowship and fun.  You will be the hostess and receive any hostess benefits on orders of $150 or more, plus you will receive a thank you gift from me!

Class times in my home are:  Sunday, April 12th - 1 - 5 pm

                                                Tuesday, April 14th - 10 - 2 pm

                                                 Friday, April 17th - 10 - 2pm

I would love to meet you.  Hope to see you in April!

Blessings,

St. Patrick's Day Treat Recap

Good Morning!

Today I thought I would share a little treat I made my customers for St. Patrick's Day.  I also made these for my grandson Cody's teachers.  Never hurts to treat a teacher, especially when you are a boy in 5th grade.  You need all the help you can get.

Aren't these cute?  I cased this from Brenda Quintana.  Check her out on YouTube to see how to make these darling little shamrocks and 4 leaf clovers.  I used Old Olive card stock, and for my stamps I used Teeny Tiny Wishes and A Dozen Thoughts.  I wraped them up with Old Olive Bakers Twine.  Very easy and addictive to make.  I finally ran out of Hershey Kisses, so I had to stop.*

May your day be Blessed!

* Not all Hershey Kisses made it into the project.  Just saying.

Demonstrator Meeting and Swap

Last Saturday I went to our local Stampin' Up Demonstrators meeting.  We call ourselves the "Stray Ducklings" because none of us have a direct upline.  So we get together, talk business and Stampin' Up news.  One of the highlights of the meeting is when we do card exchanges.  We had 17 people participate in this one.  The only requirement was that it be something from the 2015 Occassions catalog or the annual catalog.  Everyone outdid themselves with their cards.  Over the next few days I will post some of these cards.  Today I'm showing you my swap.  I call it Painted Butterfly's.  I CASEd it from Becky Cowley, Scarp Junkie.com.  I used Whisper White card stock, and using the Butterfly thinlits, I cut out the center.  I then cut out a 4 x 5 1/2 piece of whisper white card stock and using the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set, I stamped 4 colors;  Pear Pizazz, Calypso Coral, Hello Honey and Bermuda Bay.  I popped this behind the butterfly cut out with dimensionals and glue dots.  The sentiment is from the stamp set A Dozen Thoughts.  The tie is made from the burlap ribbon- I cut off one of the finished edges and then pulled the threads off.  Using two, I made a bow and attached with a glue dot.  I hope you like my swap!

Want to know what CASE means?  Copy and Share Everything!  ( Of course, the first time I told someone this, I said, copy and steal everything.  Share sounds better.)

Happy Stamping my friends!
