Fancy Folds you can make!

 I am doing a class on Thursday, November 4 at Schroeder's at 1:30 in the afternoon to make these three darling fun fold cards. 

I have a few spots left for this class so I am opening up to anyone that is in the area and reads my blog when I post which hasn't been very regular or often lately! 

They each have a pop up feature which is difficult to show in a photo. 

Maybe you can see so of the "cuteness" of these cards here:

The class is free with a $25 Stampin' Up! order with me or $15.

Everything is provided, even the adhesive, and all of the pieces are cut for you. I will walk you through all of the steps to put them together so you will have three special cards to put in the mail to provide some enjoyment for a special person in your life. 

Please call or email (care2stamp@me.com) to let me know you would like to come or if you have any questions. 

Space is limited. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you soon!

The hostess code for on line orders is 

RBQ9V7GD

until the 8th of November (the second Monday) when I place the order. 

Thank you to all that continue to place orders with me. 

I appreciate you so much!

Hopefully, one day we will be able to stamp together at the Library again. 

SAB in August! New Mini Catalog

 This is the first time that SU! has blessed us with a Sale a Bration for the second time in one year!

Have you seen the selections? 

Need a catalog? Let me know. 

I have been busy working on swaps so I can get some new ideas for the Stamp Along....just in case we can  have it again. I had my hopes high for September, but the numbers just keep climbing! I am pretty sure that the answer will be "not Yet!"

Watch the Lester Library Newsletter because that would be the place to find out if they are allowing groups to meet. I sure miss stamping with all of you! 

This is a card made from the squirrel set in the fall mini. The category was case the catalog. Do you ever just go and make the card that you see in the catalog? That is why they give us those wonderful samples. Sometimes it is just a good time saver. 

This one was for the fun fold category. The top layer has side strips cut from the card base and a window sheet strip to connect them. The angel (stamped on  velum and fussy cut) and the trees from a new border punch are connected to the window sheet. That lifts and you see the section behind the angel. Then there is another full layer when you lift that middle piece. This one will go to the Stamp Along if we can have one before Christmas! 

In the meantime.....if you would like to have a few people at your house, I would be glad to come and stamp with you. Please contact me and ask about it. 

This one is mostly from the DSP that is free as a SAB item. I did fussy cut the critters but the penguin can be punched from the DSP with the new punch in the mini catalog.

The tag uses the Elegant tag punch in a little different way....things I like to share with you at the Stamp Alongs! 

I will be sending an order in on Monday the 9th so if you NEED/Want something....

If you would rather order on line, the hostess code is 

CHQE6RHK

Do not use the code if your order is over $150 before shipping because you will be able to get Hostess rewards with that size of an order. 

Thank you to all of you who have continued to stick with me while we can't stamp together! 

Happy Summer

 Time marches on!

I just realized that I didn't blog last month at all! Since I use this to give you a sample of the cards that you can make at the Stamp Along and we can't have the Stamp Along, I guess that I just skipped over it. 

I do hope that we can stamp together at the Library soon! The last word I got was MAYBE in the fall. Definitely not in August but I am hoping for September. Monday is the second one of the month so I will be placing an order if any of you need some product. The new fall mini catalog will be here to go in with your order. There is also going to be a second SAB this year and it will be in August and September. If any of you would like to have a gathering to stamp at your home, I would love to come and make a few cards with you! It is a great opportunity for getting free product for every $50 order. There are some pretty cute sets available again, as always.

Besides the new mini and Sale a Bration catalogs, I will also include two cards for you with your July order. This cute little turtle one will be one of them and the other may be a sneak peak of a set from the mini. 

If you would like to place an order on line, please use the hostess code

Thank You! 

Happy Mother's Day!

 Happy Mother's Day to all of you! 

The New Annual Catalog is ready for you to choose your favorites and place an order!

If you haven't received a catalog and need one, please let me know so I can get one to you.

Monday is the second one of May already! Time goes so quickly and yet it stands still. Anyone else feel that way or is it just me? The Library won't be open to gatherings for awhile yet so we can't stamp together there for awhile yet.

I will still be putting two cards that I have made for you in with your orders until you can come to a Stamp Along and make your own. I have been watching YouTube and Call Me Crafty Al has a video to show how to make a sheet load of cards. The slimline one that I had in the orders last month were one of her designs. This month I used another of her designs and did these. You will get one of them with your order. 

I am going to do a class again this month. It will be at Schroeders on Wednesday the 19th.

We will be doing three cards using the new in colors and the Butterfly set.

The class will be at 1:30 in the basement but you must register as there is a limit of six.

It is free with a $25 order or $15 without an order. I could place your order with the regular Stamp Along order to get it to you sooner if you let me know by Monday. 

Here are two of the cards that we will be making. The third one will be a fancy fold. 

This one uses a new set, Flowers of Friendship, from the new catalog. It has a  coordinating punch for the flowers. The ribbon is the new ribbon that comes in each of the new in colors.

Anyone interested in doing a ribbon share of those ribbons? Please message me if you are interested.

The current Hostess code is 

AD2DSW6Y

if you are placing an order on line and it is under $150.

Thank you to all of you that have been keeping me afloat while we can't be stamping together! 

There is going to be a city wide rummage sale in Two Rivers on June 4 and 5. 

I will be participating in it and will have many things that will be happy to have a new home! 

Please mark your calendar.

Happy Spring! Happy New Catalog!

 There is a new catalog coming!

IF we were having a Stamp Along on Monday, I would have it there so you  could sneak a peek! No Stamp Along yet so we will continue to hope that it will be ok soon. 

In the meantime, I am going to be doing small classes for those of you that wish to come. The first will be next Wednesday for those that signed up for the class that was to have been held on March 25th of 2020! They have been notified and it is ready to go. 

If you are interested in doing a class the next one will be on Wednesday, April 21 at Schroder's Dept. Store in TR at 1:30. It will be four cards using the Snail Mail Suite in the Mini catalog on page 54 - 55. The class will be free with a $25 order or $15 without an order. I will only take six and masks will be required. Register quickly is you wish to come. 

 This card is made from that set but won't be in the class. Anyone that places an order this month will receive one of these plus another card as appreciation for the order. The new catalog will also be packed with your order this month. 

 

If you would like to place an order online, the hostess code this month is 

HYYPVNHJ

If your order is more than $150, do not use the code because you will get hostess rewards if your order is that large. Thank you so much for your orders. I would not be able to continue without your continued support! I appreciate each and every one of you! Hopefully, we can stamp together soon!

Not so Happy Anniversary!

It has now been one whole year since the last Stamp Along!

I am hoping that it will soon be safe to meet and stamp together at the Lester Library again!

I am so thankful for those of you that have been loyal and placing orders during this time. 

I hope that you have been enjoying the cards that I have been making for you and including in your orders. 

This is one of the two that will be in this time. 

I was thinking spring when I chose to do the butterfly! The weather has also been promoting that feeling!

The following are some of the things I have been playing with while I am waiting to be able to prep projects for you to do at the Library. 

This one is done with the new blending brushes. They make "sponging" so much easier than using the sponge! They also make it look so smooth. I am sure that they will be on the first trip to the Stamp Along....whenever that happens! I am very impressed with them. 

It is such a quick and easy card. 

Blend the three colors on the white layer and stamp over that with the same color. 

This is the bokeh technique. It has been a long time since I did one of those. Not sure why because they are so pretty. Maybe I will do some technique classes again when we can get out safely! I sure do miss stamping with you! 

I started with the Ombre paper that was free during SAB and did the white circles on that. I then added some of the circles from the circle celebration set. Added some more white circles and then stamped the plants and added the dragonfly! 

Have you been trying any new techniques? Let me know in the comments. 

The new catalogs will be coming soon. (April) 

In the meantime, both the Annual and the spring Mini are still good. 

If you need/want anything from those, I will be placing an order, as usual, on Monday so you can email your order to me or order on line by clicking on the little crab on the right. 

If you order on line, please use the hostess code

ZRWVTAMC

unless your order is over $150 and you will get the hostess goodies for yourself.

Thank you for stopping by to see what I am up to. 

Have you been  able to get your vaccine yet? 

I have my first one!

Happy Valentine's Day!

 

Happy Valentine'a Day!

It has been a long time since I made a sampler!

I would love to offer this as a class but that isn't happening yet. 

Actually, it is quite easy to make. 

The overall size is 8"x8"  

This is a very quick and easy Valentine to make that could have been at the Stamp Along this month. 

This is one of the two cards that you will receive this month if you place an order with me on or before  Feb. 8th. 

It is a very cute fun fold made with the Sweet Ice Cream set.

Thank you to those of you that have already sent an order my way by email or a phone call.

I appreciate your business so much! 

Also, thank you to those of you that order on line. 

The hostess code this time is

CPF74HBM

If your order is $150 or more, don't use the code because you will get the hostess goodies with that size order. 

You will still receive the cards that I will mail to you. 

I am hoping that it won't be much longer before you will be able to come to the Stamp Along again and make your own cards! It is so much more fun that way, isn't it? 

Stay safe and keep stamping! 

Thank you!
