Two more from SAS

Here are the other two cards from my Stamp a Stack class!

I saw something like this posted on SCS but revised it since I dont have the snowflake punch they used for the antlers! I used the leaves on the bird punch!
I think hes still cute!


This one I copied the layout off SCS because I have a hard time doing Clean And Simple cards! I love how elegant it looks!

Catty Samples

I went to a friend/demos house the other day to work on some more samples for my Stampin' Up! Catalog Launch Party, and we got alot accomplished! We brainstormed all day and had a blast!
So I thought I would share a few cards with you!
If you are interested in attending my Launch Party, leave a comment with your email address and I can email you the details!


This first card is using an awesome New Halloween stamp set from the catalog! I made the background with the web stamp from that set! The colors used are some of the NEW In Colors! Concord crush, pear pizazz, and Poppy parade! Aren't they just wonderful??



This card is using a new word set from the catalog! I also used Poppy Parade for this card. I am really loving this New In Color! And the ribbon is just great, isn't it??



This card was made using some of the Blueberry Crisp DSPaper! I love these colors together: Pacific Point and Sahara Sand. I think this DSP is one of my favorites!!


I want to thank you for looking!
Enjoy

Heres a group shot that a friend Audrey took and you can check out more of her photos on her photography blog here!

I had alot of fun chatting an all but didnt get enough done!lol
Heres one of of the cards I made while there!

I love these stamps from Darceys!
So what do you think?
I used my copics to color them! I loved making them! These are going to my dads girlfriend as some of her Christmas cards!
Enjoy

This is another Christmas card that my ladies did at my Stamp a Stack class. Its easy enough for a mass production but very elegant!
I have to say by the time Christmas comes around I am sick of cards, so hopefully I will finish my cards ahead of time and be done with them far enough in advance so I don't have to worry about being sick of making them!
Last year things were so busy I didn't even send ANY! I was so bad! So this year I have to make up for it!


Supplies- Stamps-Christmas Punch set
Paper-Whisper White,Christmas Cocoa DSP
Ink-Real Red, Black, Old Olive
Accessories- scallop oval punch, pop dots, corner rounder, eyelet scallop border.

This card is super humongous! But it has to be because the cake stamp is super huge itself! But I absolutely LOVE this set! I bought this set at the Stamp Show in Novi in August when I went with some Michigan Mingle friends of mine! Its a Darcies stamp set!


Enjoy

I just love this time of year, crunching leaves, big comfy sweaters, apple cider, warm donuts, pumpkin picking, hay rides, haunted houses and time with the family!
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays!The kids love it too. They love to decorate and dress up!And I love to see them dressed up as well as their faces when they get that piece of candy they love!
Here's my first card! I love this cute little image I found at Archivers! Isn't he cute!
I colored him with my copics and I am loving them and getting better each time I use them if I do say so myself! LOL



This next card is a Christmas one that I cased the layout from Kathy Hildin (my 4th up line. I absolutely love this card! The tree is from Lovely as a Tree. I love that there is so many layers! And I love the Kraft paper. I just got Kraft paper from SU, and I am using it for everything!



Enjoy!

Hello All

Well its October 1st and its very cold here in Michigan! We had frost this morning and it feels like winter is here instead of fall! Its funny how some of the seasons are skipped here in Michigan!lol I do have the heat on so its toasty warm in the house! I guess we will see what happens, you never know we could have the air on next week.
So I got to create some things and you will see some new things here on my blog for the next few days! So be sure to check back often!
First I am going to share with you a Halloween card that can hold a gift card! This might be for a babysitter, a teacher, or an older child that doesn't trick or treat anymore. I re-created the gift card holder Shelli Gardner had on her blog awhile ago, since I rarely give a card that holds 2 gift cards!
So here's the outside:
And here is the inside:


Supplies-Stamps-House of haunts, Teeny Tiny Words.
Paper-Cast a Spell DSP, Dusty Durango,Whisper White,Rich Razzleberry, old olive
Ink-black, old olive, rich razzleberry, close to cocoa
Accessories-circle punch,modern label punch, designer label punch, brads, top note die


Here's a very nontraditional Christmas Card! I love these colors together though!
This one was one of the cards some of my customers made for my Stamp A Stack class I had! What do you think?? Its an easy enough card to mass produce!!!

**sorry about the shadow on the photo!

Supplies-Stamps-Serene Snowflakes, All Holidays
Papers-Old Olive, Real Red, Cameo Coral, whisper white
Ink- Old Olive, Real Red, Cameo Coral
Accessories- designer label punch, circle punch, ribbon, sponge.


Enjoy!

WOW

Where does the time go, really? I mean, we are a busy family but the days seem to just fly by so fast Christmas will be here before you know it! Snow will be on the ground,UGH! So thinking of all of that is the inspiration for this card, plus looking in the SU Mini Catalog helps a bit. I tried to CASE the card on page 26 but change somethings to make it my own! I loved the papers and colors of that card! So let me know what you think of the change!


Supplies-Stamps-Serene Snowflakes,Berry Christmas,All Holidays.
Paper- bordering blue, whisper white, christmas cocoa dsp.
Ink-bordering blue, white shimmer paint.

Stamp Camp part 2

So I did slack yesterday, sorry about that!
Here's the Christmas card we made at Stamp Camp!

Its a double slider which you can find the instructions here on SCS!
We also did Iris folding on the front of this card which is really fun. You can Google Iris folding and find all kind of patterns to make really cool cards!Here is a close up of the Iris Folding!

The next card is a birthday card pop up card using the Cake Pop-up die for the Big Shot!
Here's the pop up cake part!

I used the Voila stamp set and paper pieced his pants in chocolate chip, and colored his ascot and end of his sleeve in melon mambo. Then I added alittle of bashful blue to the plate after I stamped Happy Birthday on it!
I layered the image on razzleberry lemonade dp, then on brown, then on the card base which is Melon Mambo!

I hope you enjoyed my cards today!
Thanks again for coming!

Some cards!

Since my room is coming together I am finally getting my creative juices flowing again! I still have more pictures of my room to share but its not yet finished so you have to wait on those, but I promise it will be worth the wait!

So on to my creations!
I got some new stamps at the Stamp Show at the Novi Rock Financial Center last Saturday with my lovely Mingle friends and I just had to play with them!

I found this new company that I have fallen in love with! Denami Design, we even met the owner/designer and she was great! Lovely lady to talk to and very talented!This is a very unusual Christmas card for me! Theres alot going on with the patterns but I am loving how it turned out!


Then the next card I made is so not me! I tried the stair step card which I have never done before and I decided to work outside my comfort zone and am not sure about the card or not!So you tell me (truthfully, because I can take it) how ugly or how pretty it is!
Here goes nothing-

Last Stamp Camp for Awhile???? I hope not......

So I had my July Stamp Camp and am hoping its not my last one for awhile!
As you may know (or not) we had a flood in our basement which is where my craft room and classes are held. Well, things are dragging along by the insurance company, building company and everything so I am hoping things will be done in time to have my August Stamp Camp! Since the insurance company wanted to try and save the carpet (against my better judgement but you know we have to go through there channels) we are just now getting them to rip it up after two cleanings and a snag from the cleanings. So the walls are painted and are looking lovely! 3 walls are painted Very Vanilla and the other wall is Ruby Red (because I love RED) and I cant wait to get my Decor Elements to put up on the walls so I can take pictures to share with you all!

So on with why you came Stamp Camp creations!
We started out with a Christmas Card! I love the look of this layered with three stamped ornaments. One ornament stamped on the top note and two more stamped, cut out, popped up and layered on the top note! We also stamped the bow in versamark and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder!



And then another Christmas Card!This card is not really traditional Christmas colors but looks awesome! Very simple by coloring the saying with markers, "huffing", and stamping on paper.....Add some ribbon and DP....there you have a card!



Then a Thinking of you card that I CASED from someone on SCS! I found a card I liked a changed it up abit!Sorry the picture didn't come out so good! But I am loving how simple this card is. First off you cut 1 inch off the length of the front of the card.Then you add a strip of Choc chip punched with the eyelet scallop border punch!I also added a strip of Razzleberry Lemonade DP onto the inside of the card so it shows when you close the card. I also ran the card front thru the Big Shot and the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder. The Garden Greenhouse stamp set was used for the main image and the Sincere Salutations was used for the saying.


The last card is a birthday card!
I made this card a bit larger! 5 1/2 x 5 1/2. And I am totally loving these colors together! Old olive, rich razzleberry, and orchid opulence! I used the Cottage Wall DP and the stamp set Cheep Talk. I love how this card turned out especially with all the added doodling with the black and white pens!


I hope you enjoyed my cards!
And I hope you get to see some from August!
