This month's class was themed around snowmen and we used the Snow Much Fun stamp set.

This card was Real Red and Very Vanilla cs.  Holly Berry Bouquet DSP, Real Red 5/8" Satin ribbon, markers and black classic ink.  Simple, fun and oh so cute.

 How cute is this rolly polly snowman?  Whisper White and Baja Breeze cs, black classic ink, markers, Northern Flurry embossing folder and Vanilla Simmer Smooch Spritz (hard to see).  You can add some rhinestones for more bling.

All cards were inspired by other great SU Demonstrators. 

BIG SHOT CLASS SAMPLES

The Big Shot class went faster this month.  We only did 2 cards and 1 3D item.  That left time to do the 123 Class if they had RSVP'd for it.

This card used fabric.  This was the first time I've tried fabric in one of our embosslit dies.  It worked so slick and the others were impressed too.  Always Articoke, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla cs, Deck the Halls fabric, Scaloped Heart of Hearts embosslit die, Pinking Heart Border punch, Hand-Penned Holidays stamp set.

Last item is our 3D item.  Isn't this an awesome ornament using the lattice die.  I might have to make some more of these for my tree.

HEAT EMBOSSING IN COLOR

WOW WOW WOW - Just tried the color embossing party at a class this month and love it.  7 ladies attended this class so they could try before they buy the new colored embossing powder.  They bought because they loved it.  They heard me say over and over again not to mix the colors and they did a great job not mixing them up.  I used little plastic containers for each color, a coffee filter and spoon so they could work at a separate station for each color.  This worked well and kept the mess down to a minimum.  Don't forget to always used the Embossing Buddy when you are heat embossing.  Here are the samples we made.  (Cased, but modified from other great SU demos).

Melon Mambo, Wild Wasabi EP, Fifth Avenue Floral and Sincere Salutations stamp sets, Scallop Trim Corner and Decorative Label punches.

Look how stunning the Wild Wasabi colored EP looks on black.  Melon Mambo on the circle scallop.  1 3/4" scallop circle punch and Baroque Motifs stamp set. A little strip of Flirtatious Specialty paper too.

Floral Fillers stamp set using Wild Wasabi, Cherry Cobbler and Melon Mambo colored EP.  Just Add Cake DSP.  Punches used were:  butterfly, Pinking Heart Border and Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.  Oh and added a pearl embellishment too.

This card was extra fun because we colored too using the Colored Pencils.  Stamp sets were Flower Fest and Sincere Salutations (still one of my favorites).  Cherry Cobbler, Wild Wasabi and Melon Mambo colored EP, Cheerful Treat DSP (hostess).  Retired Melon Mambo dotted ribbon, but replace it with the new Scallop Dots ribbon.

Hope you enjoyed these samples.  Remember if you can't make a class on the night it is scheduled, just RSVP and ask to make it at a later date.  I know everyone's schedules are busy and I don't want you to miss out on a class, so just let me know.

DESIGNER SERIES PAPER - ON SALE THIS MONTH

Just a reminder that Designer Series Paper ($10.95) is on sale this month (August).  Buy 3 packs and get the 4th pack FREE.  Earlier this month I did a class featuring DSP (designer series paper).  The class was FREE if you took advantage of the DSP special.  Here are the 3 samples we made at the class.  Again, samples were cased but modified from other great SU demonstrators.

Pocketful of Posies DSP, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry.  Stamp sets were Flower Fancy and You're a Gem.

Unfortunately, this DSP doesn't count toward the special.  Flirtatious Specialty, You're a Gem stamp set.

This stamp set is in the mini.  Maybe we'll see one of these out in the ocean.  Enjoy!

Happy 4th!  Have you got your new catalog?  If not, contact me and I'll get one to you.  Also, don't forget my Open House on July 16 from 1-5 pm. 

FOLD 'EM CLASS

Earlier in June, I held a class where we folded cards.  We made 3 different cards that required folding, cutting and scoring.  Some precision was required for the cards, but overall they turned out cute.  All were cased from other great demonstrators.  Below are my versions of Fold 'Em.   The first two cards feature the Beyond the Garden DSP and Fabulous Florets from the 2011 Summer Mini Catalog.

This card required some precision cutting and scoring.  Once those were done, the folding went easy.  Below is how it looks open.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The open version of the card.  How cute.  Notice the postage stamp punched flower.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next card required some precision cutting, scoring and folding.  This one proved to be harder than the first one.

This card folds flat to it into the envelope.  Slightly larger than a standard card.  Again cased from a very creative demonstrator.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This last card is done with the Big Shot.  Janet Wakeland sent me the card and I copied it exactly but used Daffodil Delight.  The picture below is the one from Janet Wakeland. My sample wasn't completed so I could show the girls how to do it. 

Hope you enjoyed the pictures.  Try out one of my classes some time.  We always are trying new stamp sets, punches, DSP or techniques.
