Stamp Along Cards for May

This is such a cute card using designer series paper. 

It was inspired by one that I saw that was done by Betty Traciak. 

I have such a large selection of DSP here that I decided I should use some before it is retired! 

The card uses the set Zoo Babies which is going to be in the next catalog.

If you need a baby card, this one is very cute and can be used for either boy or girl. 

Both of these cards could be used for several different occasions. 

The one on the left is a simple punch art card and the one on the right is sponging with the reflection technique.

Which ones will you be making next Monday?

Moon Lake, Kinda Eclectic, and more Butterflies for the Stamp Along

What a big difference that the color chosen can make! 

This is basically the same card. 

The one on the left has the butterfly sponged a bit and the one on the right was left white besides the obvious difference in the layer of color. 

They both use the DSP that is free with a $50 order during SAB.

The one on the left also has a little surprise on the inside. 

This next one uses the Kinda Eclectic set and the butterfly punches. 

It would certainly work for a Valentine card with those little hearts on the DSP layer.

Both the above and below could be used for Thinking of You cards. 

I needed some of these to send out so I designed the following one from the Moon Lake set and made eight of them for myself to send out. 

Thank you all for the comments! I do appreciate them! 

Which of the above is your favorite? 

Be sure to let me know if you wish to take the class for the Moon Lake set that will be at Schroeder's on Wednesday the 25th at 12:30. Four of the five cards were posted on Feb 4.

Already have the set? If you purchased it from me the class is $8. If you don't want the set (you can share mine) or purchased it from someone else the class if $15.

Moon Lake

First of all, I want to apologize for taking such a long break from blogging. Time goes so quickly when you are busy. 

I have been to a craft weekend and had a great time with some special friends.
We each have an eight foot table and can bring anything we want to work on while we are there.
My project was making the topiaries. I did get a good start on them while I was there but I was having too much fun visiting and getting caught up with friends that I hadn't seen since the last craft time to work too hard.
What am I making topiaries for, you ask?
They will be the centerpieces for our anniversary party.
On the 13th of February in 1965 Jon and I said our "I do" to each other.
Talk about time going by quickly!
Wow!!! Fifty years!

This is the view of the room where all the tables were set up.
The crafters come and go as they wish but it is so nice to be able to have your things spread out and ready for you to work on them when you are ready.
Brenda, the gal that organizes this event, also has a set of eight cards that can be made while we are there. She does very nice cards and I love the chance to make them. Always nice to not have to do the planning and cutting!

This is a close up of the Topiary. 

It is in progress here. 

I do have them, all five, finished now! I will post pictures after the party.

I have been busy with some classes also. Did the Butterfly one today. The group did a great job and got to do the two bonus cards that I had for them in case there was time. 

These are for the next class using Moon Lake. 

Four cards using Moon Lake stamp set. These make great guy cards. The top right one is a special pop up technique card. 

This class will be done at Schroeder's in TR on Feb. 25 at 12:30. 

You can order your set at the Stamp Along next Monday and get free shipping.That way the class is $28 which includes the clear mount set. If you would like to take the class but can't come to the Stamp Along it will be $30. I need to know before Feb. 9th so I can order your set so you have it in time for the class. 

There will probably be a bonus card for you that I will have to add when I see a really special one on Pinterest or on a blog that calls out to me!
