Aren't these reindeer adorable?  I need to add a sentiment in the front and I think I will use gold Wink of Stella on their antlers to make them pop.  The paper is from the Candy Cane Suite.  Click on the images below to order!

September Class is in session

Good Morning!

I've been hard at work making cards for the September and October classes.  Yes, I'm actually pre-planning.  I looked at my calendar and September and October are going to be quite busy, so I thought I better plan ahead.

My September Class will be held on Sunday, September 11th, 1:30 - 5:00 pm
                                                            Tuesday, September 13th - 10am to 2:00pm
                                                            Friday, September 16th - 10am - 2 pm

Since this will be Pumpkin Festival week in Morton, be expecting some Pumpkin surprises. And of course we have to make a pumpkin card!


We will be making 2 fall cards and one Christmas, using the new product from the 2016 Holiday Catalog.  If you have not gotten your copy yet, please let me know and I'll get one to you pronto!  There are some very exciting things in the Holiday Catalog.  You will not want to miss out!

In a few days I will give you a sneak peek at the October class.  I know I promised you some fun folds, but that may have to wait until November.  We will see.  I reserve the right to change my mind at any moment!

Please let me know if you will be attending my class, so I know how many kits to make.  I need to know by Thursday, September 8th.  I look forward to seeing all of you and stamping together!

Wedding Bells

Good morning fellow stampers!

I know you will empathize with me when I tell you what I went through to make this (as it turned out), very simple and elegant wedding card.  I originally saw this on Pinterest.  Of course I saw all kinds of other ideas and tutorials on wedding cards.  My first idea was to make a gift card holder/easel card.  But life got in the way and it ended up a rush job, so out went the more complicated, and in came the easy peasy one.  Here is the card:


and here is the inside:


Here is the recipe:

Stamp sets:  Suite Sayings and Flourishing Phrases
Ink:  Marina Mist
Paper:  Thick Whisper White - 4-1/4 x 11, score at 5-1/2
             Soft Sky - 4 x 5-1/4, (cut 2);  scrap for scallop oval for sentiment
             Shimmer White (front of card) - 3 7/8 x 5-1/8
             Shimmer white scrap for sentiment
             Whisper White - 3-3/4" x 5 for inside

Accessories:  Pearls, Wink of Stella, clear; Dimensionals, Bloomin' Heart Thinlits

I cut the heart out of the shimmer paper and then repositioned it over the soft sky cardstock and put the heart back in the space.  Of course I used my precision plate and die brush to make my life easier!

 I then cut out two large flower and three small flowers with the thinlits and adhered them to the heart where they fit.  I added lots of pearls and clear wink of stella on the flowers.  I used the layering oval framelits to frame the sentiment and popped that on with dimensionals.
           
Pretty easy, but I used a lot of "stuff".  It happens when you make cards!  And your stamping space starts to get smaller and smaller because you have so much "stuff" around!  Anyway, I thought the card turned out pretty good.  I think the bride will appreciate it!

That's it for today!  I'll be posting my September Class projects here in the next day or so (I hope).

Have a wonderful day!

Sheryl
