Inkspiration Challenge and Free PDF and Video Tutorials

Wow, my blog heading was quite a mouthful! I hope that you're all having a wonderful day so far.

I'm excited to share this week's Inkspiration Challenge card that I made. To back up a little bit, last month we visited my in-laws. (I have one of the sweetest mother-in-laws, honestly!) While we were there she showed me an apron I'd made her. It must have been a LONG time ago because the only memory I had of the apron was the fabric, no memory of sewing it for her. She asked me to make her another one because the one she showed me was wearing out.

What a treat to have her ask me for something! She has everything. So since I'm teaching my granddaughter, Kayla, to sew, we picked out some fabric and trim and started sewing on it last week. What a fun project to do together. I wanted to make her a card to go with the apron, so this week's Inkspiration Challenge got me going...I incorporated the apron fabric and eyelet trim to the card, so that it will coordinate with the apron, and since one of the Acetate Embellishments I made in last month's Acetate Class used the same colors as the fabric, it all worked together nicely.

To top it off, I created a Free PDF tutorial for the card which I'm excited to share with all of you. Just CLICK HERE  and it will take you to the FREE PDF tutorial. Plus, I've posted a video tutorial below showing you how to use the White Stazon and Stampin' Up pastels on acetate.


I am also offering the PDF for the Acetate Class, which includes the 2 cards and these 2 cute embellishments shown below. The PDF includes a thorough and detailed list of supplies and dimensions along with step-by-step directions and lots of photographs to give you written and visual instruction. In addition, I have 3 free technique videos that feature the technique how-to's for this class. You can view the first video HERE, which is Acetate Class Part 1. Today's video is Acetate Class Part 2, I'll post Part 3 on April 15 (Tax Day, BTW!). It's the next best thing to stamping with us! Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the video and the free tutorial!.

We've published our March Newsletter and can't wait to share with you this month's fun "How-To" video that coincides with our newsletter's Craftroom article. This month's Craftroom share is how to do the Inlaid Embossing. This technique is super easy and makes some very cool paper...so be sure to check it out.

I'm excited about this month's classes (well, I'm excited every month), but this month we're making acetate cards using three different techniques, and they're just plain fun to make. Plus our Project class this month is SO cool. Adriel designed this month's project which is a write-on/wipe-off decorative Menu Board. We also added a purse-size decorative covered notepad to use as a shopping or menu notepad.

Thanks for visiting us and seeing what we're up to. We'd love to have you join us for any of our classes. We've got a great group of stamping friends that make everyone who joins us feel welcome.

Doily Valentine Heart Card Video Tutorial

Hey there! Remember this card I showed you several days ago?

Well, this card was part of our card class this month and several of our local stampers bought a kit. I thought it would be nice to include a little video for them to put together this card (not that it's hard or anything!). Plus, it gave me an excuse to make a video... heehee. ;-) And with Valentine's Day being just a few days away, I thought this would be appropriate.

Enjoy the video!



I'd love to know what you think!
Let me know! =)
