Soft Garden Greetings

This is the fourth card in my upcoming 'Simply Stamped' class. I used a dorman stamp set "Garden Greetings". It's still available to order, but isn't in the current catalogue. This one is definitely simple... I stamped the background (a pre-cut and scored Whisper White notecard) with three different flower stamps and three colours (Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue). Then I used a one inch strip of Pretty in Pink cardstock for the sentiment and a Soft Suede flower.

I have some spots available in both nights of this class, so if you'd like to make these cards, let me know! It's only $10.00 for six cards.

Delightful Decorations

This is another card from my upcoming "Simply Stamped" Class. In this class, we're making six cards (two Christmas, two that can be Thanksgiving but other sentiments will be available and two general cards) for only $10.00! They are all quick and easy cards with no techniques... just basic stamping. There is still room in both classes... send me an e-mail if you'd like to sign up!

This card uses Delightful Decorations, the Ornament punch and the silver cord from the Holiday Mini, as well as a dormant background stamp (Polka Dots).

Very Merry Dasher

This is another card from my upcoming "Simply Stamped" class. I stamped the snowflakes using the Frost White Shimmer paint from the Holiday Mini catalogue, and Dasher is one of the best selling stamps for Stampin' Up! It is an individual stamp found on the last page of the catalogue (p. 208). The snowflakes and sentiment are both from a level 2 Hostess Set - Christmas Punch.

There are lots of spots available in this class, and it's only $10.00 for six cards! Please e-mail if you're in the London area and you're interested...

Sketch #74

Here's the sketch for this week... one page 12x12, multi-photo layout:

and here's my layout (adapted to 8.5x11):

I'd love to see what you create with this sketch... link me up in the comments.

Simply Stamped #1

My next class (after the Technique Class this weekend) is called Simply Stamped. I have two dates: Sunday, October 4th and Monday, October 5th, and we'll make six quick and easy Simply Stamped cards... no techniques, no fancy products. This is a great beginner class, but it's also great for someone who wants to get a good amount of cards for a small investment in time and money. The class will be $10.00, and if you bring a new friend to the class, you both get a prize from my basket, plus you get to make another set of six cards for free!

So this card uses Season of Friendship and some nice fall In Colours (Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango and Soft Suede with a Ruby Red bird). I will have all of my sentiments available to choose from, so you could easily make this a Thanksgiving card.

Let me know if you're interested in this class. My e-mail is in the sidebar and in my blog header.

September Technique Class - Faux Linen

This is one of the cards we'll be making this weekend at my Technique Class (Friday the 18th & Sunday the 20th).

If you're in the London area, and you'd like to make this card, I still have room in the classes (especially Friday), so send me an e-mail! My technique class is free the first time you come. It's $5.00 or a $25.00 order after that (and free for my Stampers' Club members)
