October Scrap Class

Join me for my October Scrap Class on Monday, October 13 at 7:00 pm. The cost is $12 or FREE with an order of $30 or more (before shipping and tax). We will be making this adorable spooky layout using the Fall Fest stamp set and matching Framelits, the fringe scissors, and the Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper. Please RSVP no later than October 10 so that I can prepare your class supplies.

Stamp-a-Stack Samples

Thanks to those of you who attended my Stamp-a-Stack today!  I hope you enjoyed making your cards.  For those of you who couldn't attend, these are the last 2 of the 4 cards we made today.

The card on the left uses the Perfect Pennant stamp set  (item # 133227, $29.95 in wood or #133230, $21.95 in clear) which also coordinates with the Framelits set called Banners (item #132173, $26.95). We didn't use that on this card, though.  I added the Color Me Autumn Designer Washi Tape from the Holiday Catalog.

The card on the right uses the Calling All Heroes Photopolymer stamp set (item # 138002, $25.95).  This is such an adorable set for little boys or the super hero fans in your life!  It has so many stamps in the set that you can make an endless variety of projects with it.  This set is available in Photopolymer only.  Blocks A, B, C, and I are recommended.

Stamp-a-Stack October 5

Here are two of the cards we will be making at my October Stamp-a-Stack. The class is Sunday, October 5 at 2:00.  The cost is $15.  We will make a total of 8 cards--2 of 4 different designs.

Learn the Starburst technique and see how easy it is to create beautiful cards with the Work of Art stamp set (which is my personal favorite!). We will also be using the Calling All Heroes photopolymer stamp set to make an adorable card perfect for the little or big hero in your life!
As with most of my card classes, you will have the freedom to choose from various sentiments to make the type of cards you need most.

If you wish to attend the class, please RSVP and send payment by September 21 so that I have enough class kits prepared.  Don't forget to bring your own adhesive.

Swap sample #2

Here is another swap I made using items out of the new Holiday Catalog.  Yes, I know it's a little early for a Christmas card, but how could I pass up this adorable tree and matching punch?  You know you want it, too! 

This card uses the Festival of Trees photopolymer stamp set (#135059, $15.95) and matching Tree Punch (#135859, $16.95).  I love this set!  It has 5 different trees and a few different ways of "dressing" them up.  It only comes in the photopolymer set.  The "joy" stamp is from the Endless Wishes photopolymer stamp set (#136829, $15.95).

I also used the Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack (#135824, $6.95).  These little paper stacks are 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" and include 4 each of 12 double sided designs for a total of 48 sheets of paper.  I like to use these because they're cheaper than a full pack of designer paper and because I waste less paper when I cut into them.

My Digital Studio

 Images copyright Stampin' Up!

Today I want to share with you a quick project I put together for my husband's grandmother.  Her birthday is July 4 and we celebrate every year with a party at her house.  My husband took some pictures with his cell phone and wanted to give them to her in a frame or something.  The pictures he took weren't very clear when we printed them out, so I decided to dress them up a bit using the My Digital Studio program from Stampin' Up!  This was a very quick project due to time, but she loved it.

If you haven't tried My Digital Studio, you can get a free 30 day trial by going to my website:  http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/carrieclary/productline13.  Try it out. I think you'll love it!

New Classes for 2014

I am very excited to share with you my class schedule for the fall!  I am waiting on a new order to come in so that I can work on these projects.  I will post pictures as soon as I can.

Please note the RSVP and Payment dates.  I need to know how many will be attending so that I can prepare the proper number of class kits.  Class fees are non-refundable and must be paid with cash or check.  If you are unable to attend a paid class, I will put everything together for you in a class kit.

Bring 10 - 20 photos of an event you would like to scrap and a paper cutter.  You will receive a 12x12 page protector to make your own Project Life page at the class!

What is Project Life?  Here is what Becky Higgins tells us:
Project Life provides an ultra-simple solution that helps us get those pictures into albums without draining our time, energy, and wallets. The idea is simple: Photos + memorabilia + journaling together in an album - everything slips into pockets. No requirement to cut or glue or embellish a thing. And yet - the results are stunning. Project Life is back-to-basics scrapbooking at its finest.
