Splendid Autumn Pop-Up Class

I was unable to do my weekly Facebook Live card class today, so I thought I would turn the cards into a fun pop-up class! This will kind of be a mix of the card kits I usually offer with my Facebook Lives and a product-based class.

 

When you purchase this class, you'll get supplies to make 6 cards - 2 each of the 3 designs. All of the cardstock will be cut and prepped for you, including die cuts. You will cut your own Designer Series Paper. You will need to supply your own stamps, inks, and adhesives. Your card kit will include a full package of the Splendid Autumn 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, a roll of the Wild Wheat 3/8" Rustic Striped Ribbon, and a pack of the Faux Glass Dots (these are currently on the low inventory list, so if they go out of stock I will substitute a different embellishment).

This class is $42 plus $10 shipping. You may add on the Autumn Expressions Bundle and/or the inks I used at the catalog cost. If you choose to add on the bundle, I will include a gift of 5 handmade fall cards in your package!

This pop-up class is only available for a week. Fill out the form here to register by September 12. Class kits will ship on or before September 20.

The PDF tutorial will be available for $15 if you would like only the instructions. These will be sent via email when the class ships on September 20.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions about this class.

 

Happy Stamping!

Creation Station: Stampin' Blends

 

Hello, and welcome to this month's Creation Station Design Team blog hop! This month we are using one of my favorite coloring tools - Stampin' Blends Markers. 

 

I've decided to sneak peek some brand new products for this challenge. I'm using the Splendid Autumn Suite Collection, which will be available to customers starting on Wednesday. 

 

I've used the leaf stamp from the Autumn Expressions Bundle to create a background piece. I stamped it repeatedly in various positions, and then colored the leaves with Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, and Wild Wheat Stampin' Blends Markers. Aren't these colors beautiful for fall?! 

 

To finish off my background piece, I colored the entire cardstock around the leaves with my Light Pool Party Stampin' Blends Marker. Light Pool Party is like the VIP of the entire collection of Stampin' Blends! It is great for adding shadows or a subtle background like this one. It is for sure my most used color!

 

Here is a full list of products used on this card - be sure to add them to your shopping list for Wednesday!

Stamps: Autumn Expressions

Ink: Memento Black, Cherry Cobbler

Stampin' Blends Markers: Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Wild Wheat, Pool Party

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Cherry Cobbler, Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper

Embellishments: Faux Glass Dots, Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/4" Satin Ribbon

#TGIFC487: Bursting with Happiness

This week's challenge at TGIF Challenges is a fun one - the Full of Life Designer Series Paper is my favorite!

 

I'm featuring the To Market Suite on my social media this week, and at first I thought it would be hard to incorporate that into this challenge. But I was pleasantly surprised and I love how it turned out!

 

I used the cross-hatch stamp to create a border on the top and bottom of my card, and the sentiment fits pretty well with this pattern of the Designer Series Paper. It happens to be my favorite sheet in the pack, and thankfully I still had one sheet left to create this card! 

 

I also used the Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots from the To Market Suite. You can see a full list of products below:

Stamps: Market Goodness

Ink: Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Balmy Blue, Crushed Curry, Full of Life Designer Series Paper

Embellishments: Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots, Baker's Twine Three Color Pack

Tools: Bright Skies Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

 

Happy Stamping!

Creation Station: Mix & Match

 

It's time for this month's Creation Station Design Team blog hop! Our theme this month is Mix & Match, and we're using the ephemera packs, printed cards and envelopes, or any of the Memories and More line of products. I've chosen to use the Something for Everything Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, along with the Bright Skies Bundle.

 

I've created two cards. Both use a few of the punched out pieces from the ephemera pack, as well as some clouds die cut with the Bright Skies Dies. The sentiments come from the Bright Skies stamp set.

 

These ephemera packs are so much fun! You get two sheets of each page of die cuts, and there are lots of cute images in this one. 

 

I've finished my cards off with some twine from the Baker's Twine Three Color Pack and the Iridescent Foil Gems.

 

Here is a full list of the products used on my cards:

Stamps: Bright Skies

Ink: Balmy Blue

Paper: Balmy Blue, Basic White, Crushed Curry, Something for Everything Mix & Match Ephemera Pack

Embellishments: Baker's Twine Three Color Pack, Iridescent Foil Gems

Tools: So Swirly Embossing Folder, Bright Skies Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Next up on our hop is the talented Teri West! Make sure to hop along and see what the rest of the team has created.

 

Happy Stamping!
