In-Person Class or Make at Home Kits Cards


Hello and welcome to my blog! My In-Person Classes are coming up in 2 weeks. I'll be in Houston, Texas, the rest of this week at the Stampin' Up! OnStage, but will start cutting supplies for this class next week when I get home. The 3 cards you will make feature a bundle from the January-April Mini Catalog and 2 Online Exclusive bundles (which means you can't find it in a catalog). You'll make 3 all occasions cards, and the cost is $20 or free with a $30 order. This includes printed instructions and envelopes. The schedule and openings are as follows:

Monday, March 25th  5:00  6 openings
Thursday, March 28th 3 openings
Friday, March 29th  12:00  5 openings

I am also offering kits for you to make in your own home! You will receive all the cardstock and die cuts, with written instructions and videos, to make the 3 cards we are making in the class. I cannot provide stamped images per Stampin' Up! policy. The cost of the kit and to mail it to you is $30 (PayPal) or free with a minimum $35 order. Just click on this Host Code TJ39HYV2 link to place an order. Deadline to sign up for the kits is Wednesday, March 20th. The cards are all pictured below. 

This one is made with the Flower Card Bundle from the January-April Mini Catalog. Isn't that the cutest flower cart!


This next card is made with the gorgeous Online Exclusive Magnolia Mood Bundle.


The Simply Zinnia Bundle and designer series paper are the highlights of this beautiful card using the fractured card technique.


I have provided links to the bundles I used to make all these awesome cards. Just place your order and I'll fix up a kit for you the last week of March.

If you would like to attend class, let me know as soon as possible.

Thanks for checking out my blog!

Over Stamping Technique with the Simply Zinnia Bundle

Over-Stamping-Technique-Simply-Zinnia-Stampin-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm using the new Online Exclusive, Simply Zinnia Bundle, to introduce you to the over stamping technique. This is an awesome technique to make your images really pop. Basically, it involves stamping your image, coloring your image, then stamping it, again. You will need to have a stamp positioner, or some method to restamp your image so it is in the exact same place both times. I'll show you some pictures of the card, then provide 2 videos for you to watch showing this technique.

The Distressed Tile Embossing Folder and the Thoughtful Expressions Dies were used on the 4" x 5 1/4" Basic White piece.

Here I have my stencil on my stamp positioner with my stamp lined up.

Next, I dropped my cut out in the stencil opening and stamped it in Basic Gray.

In this picture I had removed my zinnias from the stamp positioner and colored the zinnias with the Poppy Parade and Old Olive Blends. I then put it back in the stamp positioner. This is before I over stamped.

Now take a look at the image! This is after I stamped the image again or over stamped! Wow! Look at the difference!

Here is a close up on the card.

My sentiment is from Circled Sayings, stamped in Old Olive, then cut with the die from Everyday Details.

Learn to make an Easter Lily with the Easter Lilies Bundle


Hello and welcome to my blog! It's time to make those Easter cards and Stampin' Up! has just the bundle for you, the Easter Lilies Bundle! This die set makes a beautiful lily, as you can see pictured above. I have made a video for you showing you how I colored and assembled the lily. The link to the video is below these pictures and is over on my YouTube Channel. There is also a link below to download your free tutorial for this card. Let's take a closer look at the card, then you can watch the video and see how to make it.

Here's the front of the card. Note the background piece was embossed with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder after blending some Pool Party ink in the back and stamping the palm from the Easter Lilies stamp set in Old Olive.



The Easter sentiment is from the Saleabration stamp set, Heartfelt Hellos, which is no longer available, but I'm sure you probably have one on hand.


This the inside of my Easter card. I used the Courage and Faith stamp set.



To download your free tutorial, just click on the picture below. I have links below to all the supplies used to make this card.
To watch me construct this card and the lily, click on the picture below to go to the video on my YouTube Channel. Please subscribe to my channel while you're there.


I hope you learned how to make this beautiful lily from watching my video and will give this card a try. Thanks for visiting my blog!
