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, 2012 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.
