Spring Gift Giving Class

Spring Giving classes
will be making 3D items to give to our mothers,
grads and Easter table decorations.


You can chose from these fun gifts.

A pin cushion button jar for collections of buttons
you have scattered around your home or
maybe some that you received from your mother or grandmother
and you didn't know how to display.
This was cased from Monika Davis, I loved her's
and thought you might too.

This idea was from Holly Logic at ink paper stamps
using the petal cone die for the special Graduate in your life.



These Easter Bonnets
were inspired by one I saw at Leadership in Nashville
and one from Susan Dyas on Stampin' Up!
Stampin Connections gallery
for demonstrators.

A petal cone Stampin' Up! big shot die
was used to make this cute Easter Basket.
This would make very cute table favors for your Easter dinner,
I loved this idea from Becky Roberts at Inking Idaho.


This is the 3rd item we will be making from the Petal Cone Big Shot Die,
I combined all the featured from the carrot treat holders
I have seen  on the stamping gallaries to make my own.
My carrot tops were from the Build a Blossom stamp set.
A little Easter grass and a chocolate bunny would make this another
fun table decoration.
The final choice is a decorated Journal that was inspired by Nancy Amato 
that you could give to your mother, daughter, friend or graduate
to hold a collection of their thoughts and dreams.


This class will be held on Thursday April 14th 6pm and Saturday the 16th 10am
Please RSVP

Thanks for looking Cindy

This was a cased card by Cindy Lieberman on Stampin Connections, I loved the vintage look using the new 4 Frames Stamp set and Paisley Petals DSP. We will be water coloring and using the distressing kit Tea Stain ink.  I loved this card, I hope you will also.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to you!

March classes we will be celebrating every one's birthday. 
I am really bad about sending birthday cards, 
so we are going to pretend March is every one's birthday.  
We are making 4 birthday cards that have a fun theme.


Pumpkin pie and Rose red card stock 
with Sweet and Sour Designer Series Paper make this a bright birthday card.
I added a little Tangerine Tango Pompom Trim.
This is from a card I cases of Sharon Fields using Stampin' Up! 
Bring on the cake stamp set.
We will be adding a cute pop out inside the card I found on Lee Ann Greff's 
website.  This is such an easy way to give your card some pop!




We will we making a spinner card,
I got this idea from a friend of mine Kay Kalthoff at Stamping to Share.
This fun card can be given to kids of all ages,
I love the bright colors of Real Red and Pacific Point card stock with
Celebrations Designer Series Paper(DSP)
and the Take a Spin stamp set in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog.



























This fun fold birthday card was cased from Patty Bennett, the card unfolds to make a fun pop up card.
I followed Patty's idea of using stamps and paper from the Sale-a-bration and Occasions mini catalogs.
I chose Punch Bunch, Bring on the cake and Create a cupcake stamp sets. I used the Ice Cream Parlor DSP and Quick accents along with ribbon and buttons from the Sale-a-bration catalog that you can get for free with a $50.00 order during  Sale-a-bration that ending soon (March 31st)





Our final card is for spring birthdays using Easter Blossoms stamp set.
This is another cased card from one of my favorite stampers Lee Ann Greff,
I love her style, it seems to blend with mine.


Please join us during March to make these fun birthday cards on
Tuesday March 8th at 6pm, or Thursday March 24th at 11am or 6pm.

Thanks for looking, Cindy

Brad and Lauren's Wedding Invitations

Lauren and Brad wanted their wedding to be unique,
so they  decided to go with a contemporary theme.

The distressed dots were used through out the wedding stationary
using the Dotted background stamp (retired) from Stampin' Up!
To achive the look we wanted we needed to cut our Dotted background stamp
into different sizes for our invitations, programs and guest book cards.



The Dotted accent on each of the cards were either
embossed with clear embossing powder on Basic Black cardstock
or stampted with Classic Basic Black Stampin' Up! ink on Very Vanilla Cardstock.

These were the invitations to Brad and Laurens reheasrsal dinner
using a Movie Night theme.   Even though I used a few non-Stampin' Up!
products to make these reheasrsal invitations,
the basic card was Basic Gray, Basic Black and Real Red Stampin' Up! Cardstock.

What is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator MOM to do when her son
is getting married, use the best products for the job
Stampin' Up!
Cardstock, Ink, Ribbon, My Digital Studio, and Embossing Powders
