Polka Dots and Petals...

It's been a while since I updated my blog so I thought I had better upload something. I't's been a really busy couple of weeks but things are starting to calm down now. This is an older card I made quite awhile ago using the Polka Dots and Petals stamp set but I had a picture of it on the computer so it was easy to upload :o)

I have done a few new cards this week so hopefully I will get up the strength to bring the camera all the way downstairs and take some pictures of them and get them up on here!

Glitter Priceless Card

A really quick and simple card with flowers from the Priceless stamp set and the chunky glitter. I love the turquoise and celery colours together on white. I used Crystal Effects and painted it onto the flowers with a paintbursh ( a thick layer) and then sprinkled on the clear chunky glitter. I sure hope the Chunky glitter makes it into the next catalogue in the fall because I think the clear chunky sprinkles are going to be awesome at Christmas.

Contest Winner.....

Thanks to all who sent me answers to my little questionnaire about the classes I give. There were some great helpful answers to help me create m classes in the future. Probably the two main themes were that people would like classes Saturday mornings, which I will try for my next class in June. Also people wanted to see something other than just cards, which hopefully I will have time to try in june as well. And the winner of the free Sale-a-bration set is Julie P-A. Congratulations Julie!

Here is a card that we made at my last class. It's a chipboard star covered with both chunky sprinkles and Fine Cosmo glitter. I love the Celery and Soft Sky together!

Picka Petal Lady Bug

Here is an old card I made almost a year ago when I got the Pick a Petal stamp set. The head an body were made with black circle punched. The antenae are just drawn on with a basic black marker and eyelets were attached at the end.

All over Glitter...

Here is a copy of another card we made on the weekend at my glitter class. It's somewhat hard to see in the picture but the entire white cardstock panel with the flowers is covered in glitter. I've had the stamp set Year after Year for quite a while now and I think this card, and the "love" card I posted a few days ago are the first I really made and loved with it. I think I will have to pull it out again soon!

Gift Cards and Box...

Here is the second project we made at my last Stampers 8 Club. It was kind of like stampers boot camp since we made 6 cards, 2 So Saffron (in picture), 2 River Rock, and 2 Mellow Moss. And of course we made the little box for them. The whole club made it through and got the whole project done with minimal complaining (OK, I'm being nice! There was a lot of complaining and a few threats of dropping out!)

It was a great 8 months and I will be starting a new club, probably later this summer to run for 8 to 10 months depending on how many people sign up.

In case you were wondering what a Stampers 8 Club is it is a group of 8 people who meet once a month for 8 months and place a minimum order of $25 (8 x $25=$220, enough for the first level of Hostess Benefits which is a free stamp set and $20 free) A club is usually between 8 and 10 people, the number of people in the club equals the number of months you are commmitted to buy the minimum, the amount changes depending on the number of people. Each member has a month where they receive the hostess benefits for the orders received. Once a month when we meet I have two projects for the club to do. I will announce it in my newsletter on here when a new club is forming.

Hat Pin Thank You Card...

This is one of the cards we made at the last meeting of my Stampers 8 Club. The Thank You stamp is from the Lovely Labels set and the background scroll is out of the Priceless set. The hat pin (from the Pretties kit) with beads gives this card a great finishing touch. I used River Rock, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla for this card and the ribbon is the Chocolate Poly-Twill Ribbon out of the Ocassions Mini.

Glitter "Love" card

Here is one of the cards we made at my Glitter class yesterday. The wedding cake is from the Year After Year set and the "love" is from Wonderful Words which I haven't used in a long time. I used a combination of dazzling diamonds glitter and the chunky sprinkles in the mini. My house is still full of glitter!

Unfrogettable

Here is a card I made quite a while ago and thought I should post it up on here since I have nothing else quine like it. All the stamps are from the Unfrogettable stamp set and I just love the "hoppy birthday" stamp. This cute little froggy looks especially cute if you glue on some nice googly eyes.
