Waterfront birthday

Hello Stampers!  Once I started playing with the Waterfront stamp set, I just can't stop!  It is so easy to make such great cards!  I make all of the birthday and anniversary cards that my father-in-law sends out every year.  There seems to be a lot of masculine cards on his list, and they are always so hard to make!  Today I sat down to play with the Waterfront stamp set and the cards just kept coming!!  So fun!

This card has to be one of my favorite of all of the ones I created today!

 The colors that I used for this card are Crushed Curry, Marina Mist, Pacific point, Garden Green, Tranquil Tide, Sahara Sand, and Soft Suede.

Thanks for stopping by!  Leave me a comment and get your name in the drawing for a FREE card every day!  I didn't post yesterdays winner because of the blog hop, but the winner was Judy T.  Today's winner is Patti P.!  Congratulations ladies!

Hello Stampers!  Welcome to the Alaska Achiever's Blog Hop for the month of February!  Those hosting the hop today are Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all around the world that have achieved the prestigious Stampin' Up! Incentive trip that only a limited number around the world achieve. This month's theme is Sale-a-bration and Occasions catalogs products.

I'm so excited to be joining these fabulous women!  I decided that I would focus on the Party Pandas stamp set.  It has been my most popular Sale-a-bration item and I personally have used it a ton to create projects!

Here are some of the projects that I have created:

And this one is my favorite:

  I made a video for you showing how I did this background!  I call it the Ziploc Baggie technique!  I taught this technique in my technique class this month.  Each month I teach two techniques and two fancy folds!

Card Ministry

Hello Stampers!  Every month I run a card ministry at my church.  We meet in the morning to make cards and then again in the evening.  It is amazing how many cards we can crank out in one day!  Here are some of the ladies that helped out last week:

We supply cards for the families who stay at the 3 Ronald McDonald Houses in the St. Louis area, we supply cards the the staff at the houses to send out to volunteers and those who donate, we make cards for our church to use and for all of the communities at our church, and we supply cards for the local Fischer House which is similar to a Ronald McDonald House except it is at the VA Hospital. 

If you are local, we would love for you to come help!  We meet the second Monday of the month!  Contact me if you would like some additional information!!

Leave me a comment and let me know if you are interested in joining us!  

 

NEW Online Class Offering!

Hello Stampers!  I am so excited about the new Online class I will be offering.  Each month I will choose a stamp set or bundle and design a class around it.  I know that we are all busy, so this is a way for you to still take my classes on your own time! 

I will announce the class on the 15th of the month.  You will have 10 days to register for the class.   I will order the product, prep the consumables, and begin shipping the kits out to you by the 10th.  

There will be multiple purchase options each month, depending on the supplies you need.  You may also make substitutions if you already own the products in the kit.

My first kit will feature the Waterfront stamp set from the Occasions catalog.

I have designed five cards using this stamp set.  You have three ordering options:

Option 1 - $38.00  Includes: Waterfront photopolymer stamp set, 15 yards of Linen thread, 5 envelopes, FREE supplies to make all 5 projects, a pdf of step by step directions and dimensions, and an exclusive online class video walking you through making each project, that you can watch as many times as you like!  ($30 if you are local and will be picking up your kit)

Option 2 - $54.00  Includes: Waterfront photopolymer stamp set, 15 yards of Linen thread, 2 stamp pads in the colors of your choice, 5 envelopes, FREE supplies to make all 5 projects, a pdf of step by step directions and dimensions, and an exclusive online class video walking you through making each project that you can watch as many times as you like!  ($46 if you are local and will be picking up your kit)

Option 3 - $15.00  Includes: a pdf of step by step directions and dimensions, and an exclusive online class video walking you through making each project that you can watch as many times as you like!

If you are choosing option 2, email me at [email protected] and tell me the two stamp pad colors you choose.  

If you already own the Waterfront stamp set, you may substitute another stamp set of the same price.  E-mail me directly after payment has been made and tell me the alternate set.

The deadline to register for this online class is Sunday, February 25th.  Kit's will be shipped out by Saturday, March 10th.

I sent out my newsletter this morning with the ordering links.  If you need it sent again, let me know.
