October CHRISTMAS!

Just wanted to show off a PORTION of the October cards and gifts.



Ornaments and/or magnets - great Teacher or co-worker gifts!

Here's a great SNOW DAY GIFT. You'll leave the workshop with a tin filled with 2 packets of hot chocolate, 2 pieces of chocolate candy, some cards and a pen to fill your tin.



This tin would also be a great tin to make a "sick day" tin - using a soup can design. Want to see what that would look like? Sign up for the workshop! or watch the blog in late October. It will have soup, crackers, and a puzzle book with pen. We'll make the puzzle book!!!

CARDS!!!! Using current and retired stamps. Don't have the retired stamp, I'll have current options!





Watch for more details!!!

One Sheet Wonder

Well, I almost got all the cards for Friday night's Stamper's Club done this afternoon. There are 3 that I need to either emboss or need a different ink. For the most part, I'm pleased with the results. I have to say though the picture does not show these cards well. Hope this post doesn't scare off the club members! :)

This is one of my favorite techniques because I don't always use all the stamped paper at once. I'll just do a sheet and then cut off as I need it - maybe getting 10 cards, maybe not. I hope the club members will enjoy it!

This week in STAMPING!

This week we have our Stamper's Club going on Friday night at 6:30 - we're doing a "One Sheet Wonder" with a fall theme.

Then on Saturday it's time to start Christmas cards. All 3 of these cards were CASED from Splitcoast and since I'm not sure how to do a "link," I'm having to just give you the name of the artist. You can do a search for her work!

The first card is the "present" card. It is a different color than the original and I used colored pencils instead of watercolor crayons. I also added the bow. Thanks to Taylorinco!


Next we'll do a twist on sarahtaptap's card using the in-colors blue bayou and white embossing. The inside is stamped using the blue ink and I'm really liking this card. It's one of my favorites!




Finally, the 3rd card we'll do Saturday is inspired by valeriej. Her card is much nicer but I didn't have the paper to do what she did. We'll also be adding brads instead of the paper "berries"


I'll post our one sheet wonder cards once I'm finished with them all! Also, watch for other cards and gifts for the October Christmas workshops. Thanks for looking!
