January 29 All Occasion Stamp Camp

We used lots of new product from the Occasions Mini Catalogue to create 8 cards – with one bonus Valentine card.  (There are NO stairs in our new location – Westview Community Hall!) 

The four morning cards used the new Framelits and sets from the Occasions Mini and the Sale-A-Bration Mini.  If you don’t know about Sale-A-Bration be sure and ask before the end of March.  It involves FREE product just for ordering items you need!

The afternoon cards used the Edgelits with corresponding embossing folders, the new Blossom punch, Vanilla scented Embossing powder, the really narrow Organdy Ribbon from the Sale-A-Bration mini and more new stamp sets.

The Bonus Card was one I cased from a sample at the Stampin’ Up! Leadership conference held two weeks ago in San Antonio.  It was a fun time meeting with other demonstrators and learning about the new things that Satmpin’ Up! has in store for us!  If you would like to attend events like these, now is a great time to sign on with Stampin’ Up!  The starter kit is at a nice low price and you could have your pick of FREE Designer Series Paper or Digitals downloads for the rest of the year!!  Contact me for more details.

January 26 & 28 Technique Class

We learned one new technique and had a reminder of an old technique.  The new one I call Collaged Embossing.  It involves using embossing powder without any ink, heating it and dropping in some embellishments.  This time we used the Mica Flakes which were available in the Holiday Mini Catalogue.  Note the new ‘Blossom’ punch from the Occasions Mini Catalogue.  There are a couple more ways to use this punch – send me an email & I’ll tell you! :)

The second technique was just a reminder that any color of the Stampin’ Write Markers can be used with the VersaMark pen to create a colored embossed image inside of a stamped image and to just color up rubber and stamp an image.  We used two of the new scented embossing powders from Stampin’ Up! – cherry and vanilla.  The ‘doily’ is from the ‘Flirtatious’ Specialty Designer Paper

The next Technique Class will be in April and we will be making more paper ‘quilted’ cards – different patterns than in past.

January 9 Card Making in the Devon Library

A New Year with New Projects.  The three cards were a little ‘springy’ and stamps were on hand for those who wanted to adapt them into Valentine’s cards.

December 12 Card Making in the Devon Library

We had great fun making 3 enclosure cards in which to put a gift card.  They were really nice and came in very handy at Christmas.  Unfortunately I used all mine before I took pictures, so you’ll just have to believe me!!  One used the new Stocking Die and had a pocket inside.  Another used the Two Tag Die and the last used the Top Note die cut so as there was a fold at the bottom. 

Everyone got a teeny Christmas gift – in a cute little package of course – a ‘Handmade By’ stamp of their choosing.  Christmas cookies were available but we were so busy stamping no one stopped for snacks!!

October 27, Technique Class – Embossing Folder Play

There are plenty of things to do with the embossing folders and we have already done several in workshops and classes.  This month we learned a couple more tricks!! 

 

I like the transformed Designer Paper much more than the original!!  Note how the butterflies are behind the embossed floral spray!!

We had a great time at the Edmonton East Stampin’ Lab!  Who knew you could make so many cards with a 12x12 sheet of white cardstock!! Just a little stamping and the white cardstock was transformed into Designer Paper!
