Happy Father's Day!

Howdy Stampers!

Today I'm showing you some cards that I made for Father's Day.  I'm usually so busy with my classes, that I don't have time to make cards just for fun.  I used a couple of retired stamp sets and framelits;  Nailed It (this was the first time I used it, and I love it!  Yes, I've had it over a year and just used it today) Urban Underground DSP, Truly Tailored Stamp set and True Gentleman Designer Series Paper.  Love it!

So here are the cards:

This is the one I did for my husband....

These two I did just for fun and because I was on a roll to make cards.  I used Tranquil Tide and Night of Navy card stock.  Love that combination!

Hope you enjoyed today's cards.  And may you have a wonderful celebration with the men in your life!

June 2018 Card Class - Samples at Long Last!

Good Morning,

I finally finished all my samples for the June 2018 Card class.  The theme for this month is Creative Card folds and I feel that I really delivered.  Here are the samples:

Here are the names of the folds for these cards:  Gated Twist Fold, impossible Card Fold, both portrait and landscaper, Three Way Fold, and Fold Out Panel, that I cased from Dawn Griffith.  I also used a lot of new stamps and papers from the new annual catalog.  I think you will really enjoy making these cuties!  The new colors are so vibrant and so cheerful!

Dates for the June Card Classes:

Sunday, June 24th, at my home

Tuesday, June 26th, at my home

Friday, June 29th at Morton Christian Church

Please let me know by June 17th if you will be attending.  

As usual, you will be making 2 cards of 3 different designs (other than the Impossible Card Fold - you will be making 1 portrait and 1 landscape card) with envelopes, plus a set of instructions on how to re-create these cards at home.  Cost is $20. 

Hope to see you in June!

Blessings,

New Catalog Blog Waddle

Hi All!

This month's waddle theme is anything new from the new 2018-2019 catalog.  The color revamp that Stampin' Up did is amazing!  I wasn't a big fan at first, but I've made several cards using the new color card stock and the new Designer series paper and WOW!  Such beautiful, vibrant colors - they make me happy!  And I hope they make whoever receives one of my hand made cards happy as well!

The card that I'm showing you today is one that I designed for my June class - it's called a twisted gate fold card.  Looks hard, but it's remarkably easy!  And it fits into a standard A2 envelope!

Julie Davison has a wonderful video explaning on how to make this card.  Take a look!

Here is the diagram she used for this project:  helps you keep things straight!

 I used the Abstract Impressions stamp set, found on page 129 in the annual catalog.  Night of Navy was my base card color and I used the beautiful Garden Impressions 6x6 Designer series paper.  I thought the card came out great!  Ink color I used was Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody and Call Me Clover  All the items I used are listed below.

I hope you enjoyed this stop.  Next on the list is Kim Baker!  Waddle on over and see her great creations!

June 2018 Card Class- Not Yet!

Good Morning !

I'm busy trying to swap out and re-arrange the new colors and paper from the new Annual Catalog, so I'm just a little behind in getting my newsletter out, plus we just got back from a week long trip. 

We had a wonderful visit with my son, who lives in Colorado.  We went to our favorite garden store and bought the cutest little dragon for our back yard.  He looks so happy!

And I can't write in my blog with out showing pictures of my newest grandson.  He's such a cutie and quite the chunk.  He is just 9 months old and weighs 24 lbs.  Yes, I said 24 lbs.  He is one big baby, but is just so sweet!

Card Clutch instructions

In my last class, we made a clutch purse out of designer series paper.  I've had lots of requests to get instructions on how to fold this.  I'm going to do one better:  Here is a video which will help you make this simple, no cut, no glue and no measure card clutch. 

Hope you enjoyed seeing my dragon and my grandson, not to mention the card clutch video.  Hopefully the next blog will be all about my June Class!  Just a hint of what is to come - we are going to be doing creative card folds....should be interesting...

Blessings,

Sheryl
