August 2012 Card Classes

These are the cards we will be making Thursday August 23rd
at your card classes either 10am or 6pm.
I cased all of these cards, due to convention, making wedding
invites, and catching up with this fast paced summer.
I wanted to share some of my favorite cards I have found
while blog surfing.
This triple layer stamped card was from a turorial
by Dawn Olchefske, I just changed my design to use
my favorite fall stamp set French Foliage.  So far this month
each class has loved this technique.


This card was cased from Holly Pederson,
I love the Core'denation papers and loved this color combination.
I did case the idea for this card, but I lost the name, so sorry!!!
I changed mine to use the Ghoulish Googlies and a little more ribbon,
thanks for idea Molly.  For my stamping friends that do not
celebrate Halloween I have a backup plan.
The final card we will use stamps left from the open house,
the card idea was from Shirley Pumpkin.

Thanks for looking, Cindy

Blooming with Kindness August 2012


At our Team Bat Cave meeting this week we made a 
card using the Blooming with Kindness stamp set from Stampin' Up!
This card can be made very quickly using the Note cards and envelopes (107311)
from page 160 that are just $5.95 for 20 cards and envelopes.
We also stamped the flower image on our envelope front so the person receiving the
card gets a hint what to expect inside.

 Lisa, Carol, Nancy Maggie and Courtney.

 I got a quick picture when they were leaving so you can meet them.
Maybe next month you will get to meet them all.

June Card Classes

These are the cards the ladies will be making this month
at my card classes, we are going to have some fun with 
the new scented embossing powders.

This is a cased card from Patricia Giesbrecht,
the melon scented embossing powder makes 
you want to take bite of your watermelon.

This is another card using the scented embossing powder,
my favorite blue Popsicle and who wouldn't like cherry.
This was a Paper Pals Art challenge, they give you a design
and you make it yours.  One of these days I just my enter one of these challenges.

This card makes several of the layers you see by
stamping on the paper.  It was cased from Stampin' UP! 
I used the Papaya Collage stamp set for the beautiful card.

This is another card where we will layer by adding colors
right on the Whisper White paper.  This stamp set is Betsy's Blossoms
from the new catalog.

Welcome new In Colors 2012


At our Team Bat Cave  meeting last evening we played with the
new designed Stampin' Up! ink pads, new 2012-2014 In Colors and
the Betsy's Blossoms stamp set.  One of the activities we do at 
the downline meeting is a create your own card exercise, 
everyone is give the same supplies and we see what we can come up with.
The base of the card is Raspberry Ripple cardstock, and then we used a combination
of all 5 new In Colors on 1 card.  I love this fun exercise, it is one of those times
when we can start over as many times as we wish.  

We also made these In Color bookmarks for our catalog 
and to share the new 2012-2014 In Colors with others.
This was a cased project from stampingwithbev.

If you would like to join our group next month, we meet
the 1st Monday of each month.  Stampin' Up! has a 
new starter kit for just $99.00, but for June they have
Sweetened the deal with a add on package from the 
Patio Party Suite valued nearly $50.00 for joining during June.
