March 2019 Classes

Welcome back!!  Another month has flown by and it's time to look forward to March - warmer weather; spring; daylight savings time; and for you sports fans - college basketball's March Madness!! 

It's also March Madness in the stamping world, as in "madness" for the final phase and month of Sale-A-Bration!  Not only can you earn new products, but you may also purchase coordinating thinlits and framelits to the Sale-A-Bration stamp sets you may have already gotten in January and February - pretty cool!!  Call, text or email for more information or go to my website to learn more.

Classes for March will be...
     Thursday, March 7 (9:00 a.m. - noon and 1:30 - 4:30 p.m.)
     Friday, March 8 (9:00 a.m. - noon and 1:30 - 430 p.m.)
     Saturday, March 9 (9:00 a.m. - noon and 1:30 - 4:30 p.m.)
     Sunday, March 10 (1:30 - 4:30 p.m.) 

I have availability in all classes except Thursday afternoon and Saturday morning, but will start a waiting list for those times.  The calendar becomes "fluid" after sending out reminders, so don't be discouraged from signing up.  The class fee is $15.00.  Take a look below to see our projects (time permitting, we will complete all four cards)...

Isn't this the cutest card - it screams "Easter"

to me, but can be used for other purposes.

I CASE'd this card from Facebook, but cannot 

remember who the designer was.

Next is a "technique" card.  I saw this on the Simply

Simple Stamping website and really liked it.  Outlining 

the design in black makes a world of difference

to the look of the card.  Compare it to the one below

to see...

This card may be used for lots of occasions:

birthday, Easter, sympathy (changing the 

sentiment, of course) or just thinking of you.

Wow - talk about simply elegant - this is it!

Ink on paper with an embossing folder and voila!

Then add ribbon, a doily and a sentiment; done!!

You choose the reason - I choose birthday.

And, there you have it for this month.  Enjoy your stamping and I'll see you next month.  Thanks for stopping by!!

February 2019 Classes

It's time for card classes again - yippee!! Amazing how fast time flies by.  So, here's the lineup:

     Thursday, Feb 7 (9:00 am-noon and 1:30-4:30 pm)
     Friday, Feb 8 (9:00 am-noon and 1:30-4:30 pm)

    Sunday, Feb 10 - No classes 

Our projects will be the following:

This card is adapted from a card I

saw by Tami White.  Nice and simple with

clean lines.  But, if you need a 

St. Patrick's Day card, it can be 

changed like so...

Isn't this a darling card?  Just a cute little note 

card that I CASE'd from a stamper whose name 

I don't know, but has a blog, Stamps-n-Lingers.com

Now, this one is my favorite.  So soft and

romantic looking - perfect for a wedding or 

anniversary card.  Actually, you can make 

it a Thinking of You, Get Well and even

a Sympathy card.

Our last card is another note card that I 

CASE'd from Lauren Alarid. I love

the sweetness of this card.

Hope you have a wonderful month.  Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you on my next post!!

Upcoming Red Hatter Card Class

Good afternoon everyone!

      One of my customers asked if I would have a card class for her Red Hatter Group. Of course, I responded, "YES"  So this Saturday, February 2, I have 11 Red Hatters coming over to make cards.

  

      Most of these ladies are not stampers, so I had to design some simple cards for them to make.  What's better for that than our own All Inclusive Card Kits!  I chose the Made to Bloom Kit that is in our 2019 Occasions Catalog and, if there is time, I have a "modified" card from the August 2018 Paper Pumpkin, "Blissful Blooms".  Below are pictures of the cards.

I think they will like the cards and I know they will enjoy the camaraderie that automatically happens when stamping!!

That's all for now...I'l be back in a few days!  Thanks for stopping by!

January 2019 Happenings

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!  Wow - I can't believe that it has been over a year since I've blogged photos of class projects!! Well...I'm back and ready to stay on schedule.  So, here goes!!

January is a fantastic month for Stampin' Up!  There are so many opportunities for you to "score".  The new Occasions catalog is in effect, Sale-A-Bration is in full swing and joining Stampin' Up! as one of my team members is more advantageous than ever.  Call, text or email me to learn more.

Now, on to classes for January.  I am offering regular classes on the following days:

     Thursday, January 10 (9:00 a.m. - noon and 1:30 - 4:30 p.m.)
     Friday, January 11 (9:00 a.m. - noon)

If you haven't made a reservation, contact me as soon as possible to secure your space.  At this time, I have availability in all classes.  The cost is $15.00.

Since Valentine's Day will be here soon, most of the cards are geared toward that holiday.  Although, they may also be used for other occasions.  Here they are:

This card was CASE'd from and inspired by Sue Mohr. 

 I follow her blog and love her cards.  You can easily

make this into a birthday or anniversary card.

Isn't this the cutest card?!  The original design was

made by Sue Vine.  Where do these demonstrators

get their creativity?!!! This is another card that can

be used as a friendship, anniversary or birthday card.

I love this card.  I CASE'd it from Mary Fish.  It just

oozes romance and would make a great 

anniversary card or Valentine's Day card.  And it's a 

perfect Thinking of You card.

And, lastly, another card CASE'd from Mary Fish.  I

also follow Mary's blog.  She gives me great inspiration.

This is a nice winter-themed card that may be used

for just about any occasion (thinking of you, sympathy,

male birthday, thank you or a note card).

I am also offering a "HOME" decor class on:

     Saturday, January 26 (9:30 a.m.- 1:30 p.m.*)

     Sunday, January 27 (1:00 - 5:00 p.m.*) 

 *These times are approximate as I'm not sure how long it may take.  But, we will not go beyond these times.

Let me show you what we will be making:

We'll start by making the base "home" with 

an interchangeable "O". 

This is January, February and March...

April, May and June...

July, August and September...

October, November and December

These classes are limited to 8 people per class and the fee is $30.00.  THE FRAME IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE COST.  YOU MUST PURCHASE A 5 X 7 TABLE FRAME OF YOUR CHOICE. Call, text or email me make a reservation or if you have any questions.

That's all for now - have a great month.  And, thanks for stopping by!

September News

I know, I know - I said I was going to get better about posting, but...I haven't. Where does the time go?!  I keep thinking I can manage things better than I do. (BIG sigh)...

Well, let's get on to more important matters...our classes for this month.  Here are the dates:

     Thursday, September 7 (9:00 a.m. to noon and 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.)
     Friday, September 8 (9:00 a.m. to noon and 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.)
     Saturday, September 9 (9:00 a.m. to noon and 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.)
     Sunday, September 10 (1:00 to 4:00 p.m.)

I have availability in all classes except for Friday morning.  The cost is $15.00 and below are our projects.

 I wasn't sure I wanted this stamp set

when I saw it in the catalog, but I

sure am glad I got it now.  Doesn't this

remind you of riding a bicycle when

you were a child?  And, take a look

below for the opened card.

It's that time of year to start

thinking about the holidays, so

each month we'll make 1 

holiday card.  I really like the

look of Tranquil Tide ink and paper

for Christmas cards.

This card is to commemorate the 

"end of summer".  The Lemon Zest stamp

set is perfect for the occasion.  And,

doesn't your mouth water just looking

at the lemons and limes?

If time permits, we will make this

birthday card intended for the man

in your life.  This card is CASE'd 

from Kim Williams.

Hope you like what you see.  If you have been thinking about taking a class or just think you would enjoy a day out stamping with fellow addicts, please give me a call, send a text or email me...we'd love to have you join us.

Have a good month! And thanks for stopping by,

Carol

June Classes and Projects

Well...the year is marching onward way faster than it seems possible!! June is almost here and so are our classes, which happen to be...
    
     Thursday, June 1 (9:00 a.m. to noon and 1:30 - 4:30 p.m.)
     Friday, June 2 (9:00 a.m. to noon)
     Saturday, June 3 (9:00 a.m. to noon and 1:30 - 4:30 p.m.)
     Sunday, June 4 (1:00 - 4:00 p.m.)

I have space available for all classes, so if you haven't signed up yet, please give me a call, text me or shoot me an email.  Class fee is $15.00 and here are our projects:

 The 4th of July will be here and gone before

our next class, so we will make one this

month.  I really like the way this turned out!

 I am in love with the new Daisy Punch.  

Oh - my - gosh!! Wait until you get your hands on it,

you'll agree with me; I'm sure of it!!

This little note card holder will be made out

of one of the new In Colors - Powder Pink...

and then, we'll make 4 cards to go inside

the holder out of the remaining In Colors:

Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide

and Berry Burst (this card is shown in

Sweet Sugarplum as I hadn't received the

new In Color card stock while in the designing process).

This allows each customer to go home with a "sample"

of ink, paper and ribbon in the 2017-2019 In Colors.

Watch next month when I post information regarding a Christmas Card Club which will begin in July...it could be something right up your alley!!

Thank you for looking and have a wonderful June.
