Fall Frenzy Class
Saturday September 24th
9:30 to 1pm

Fall is a upon us and I love using the rich fall colours like Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler and More Mustard. This class will be a 10 project class (2 each of 5 projects). Four of the projects will be cards and the final project will be a Halloween Treat. If you do not celebrate Halloween please let me know when you sign up as there will be a substitute birthday treat idea for you.

Cost for the class is $30 or free if you order $65 or more on class day. Prepayment is required to hold your spot in the class.

Another Touch of Kindness

Here is another quick and cute card made with the Touch of Kindness stamp set (soon to be gone for good, since the Summer MIni catalogue ends on August 31st.).

We are having a great time at Great Wolf Lodge with Tara and her kids. Can't say I am a big fan of watersides. I thought was dead for sure. No one else was scared so I guess I am a chicken. Mary is fearless! I am sure Pierre is sad he is at home missing all the fun!

Love and Sympathy

Although no one really wants to have to make them, having a really good sympathy stamp set for card making is a must have. I just love this "Love and Sympathy" stamp set because you can make some super quick and easy sympathy cards you when have to have one. The sentiment for the inside is also beautiful:

"Those whom we have loves never really leav us. They live on forever in our hearts and cast their radiant light on our every shadow. - Sylvana Rosetti"

Also used on this card is the Patterns Designer Paper (Perfect Plum), Whisper White Organza Ribbon and a Pale Plum button. Elegant Eggplant, Pale Plum, Pear Pizzazz and Whisper Whte were the colours used on this card.

My Fall Frenzy class is almost full (2 spots left) so if you were wanting to sign up for this please let me know. Your payment for the class is your confirmation. I will hopefully post one of the fabulous samples later this week...if I can ever get myself off the computer and go downstairs to stamp!

Fall Frenzy Class

Cherry Cobbler!

For todays card I decided to use my VERY favourite colour in the catalogue, but comjpletely neglected in the summer, Cherry Cobbler! I know it can still be used in the summer I just find myself reaching for the brighter reds like Poppy Parade or Real Red. Now that fall is coming (and yes it is coming...leaves are changing out here!) it's time to dig out those deeper colours.

This card was made with the fabulous Four Frames, Elements of Style and Petite Pairs stamp sets. The sentiments in the Petite Pairs stamp set fit perfectly in the Four Frames set so it is a must have if you already have Four Frames (or it's on your wish list!)

Also used on this card are:

-Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding

-Antique brad

-Antique brass brad

-Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder

-Modern Label Punch

Touch of Kindness

Sorry I've been absent a few days but I've had a crazy busy week and I was camping this past weekend (which wasn't anywhere near the horrible, terrifying experience I was expecting it to be...LOL!) I am actually looking forward to camping again someday!

This stamp set, Touch of Kindness" from the Summer Mini is sooooo cute. I just fell in love with this bird bath image and the sayings that go with this stamp set. The colours I used were Real Red, Whisper White and Daffodil Delight. The main image was coloured using a blender pen and classic inks.

Don't forget the Summer Mini ends on August 31st so if there is anything you need in there be sure to get your orders to me by August 20th (this Saturday) or Tuesday August 30th.

Build a Blossom

Isn't this Build a Blossom stamp set and matching punch super cute? I have bought this stamp set back in April but I have been so busy it has sat neglected on my shelf. I finally pulled it out and made this beautiful little flower (with Pink Pirouette and Pretty in Pink) The center of the flower was made with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and a Pearl Jewel. Also used on this card is a sentiment from Herb Expression, Ric Rac from the Sizzix Tasteful Trim die and Soft Suede cardstock.

Kidoodles - Thanks a Bunch!

The Kidoodles stamp set was one that just jumped out at me when I first saw the new catalogue. Who can resist this super cute little monkey? To make this card I used Soft Sued and Daffodil Delight. The trim is from the Sizzix die Tasteful Trim and the the only embellishment I used are Daffodil Delight from the Subtles brads. The "you're the best" sentiment is from one of my favourite new sentiment sets, Friendly Phrases.

I have to admit when I first saw the catalogue I though it was really nice. Now a month into it my wishlist is much longer. I finally took the time to look at the different samples in the book (very dangerous indeed!) and ended up with an extra long wishlist! For example the card sample on page 149 (heartfelt thanks in the middle) and the sample on page 157 (the card on the right) has now added the stamp set Raining Flowers (page 11)to my Must Have list. There are even more fabulous samples online.

Be sure to let me know which stamp sets are growing on you as you notice the samples in the new catalogue.

Button Buddies Vase...

One of my favourite new stamp sets is definitely Button Buddies. I got it because it has such a cute pig image but playing with the stamp set I found so much more. I love this vase, using Daffodil Delight flower buttons.

This card was made with Button Buddies stamp set, Daffodil Delight buttons, White Bakers Twine, Night of Navy brads, Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White cardstock, Night of Navy and Old Olive Classic inks and Daffodil Delight Designer Patterns paper.
