I've mentioned before how much I like the Beautiful Season stamp set but I love to find ways to use this stamp without coloring it.  I don't have anything against coloring, I just seem to have trouble getting the bird colored to my satisfaction.  I've think I've come up with another card that works wonderfully . . . with no coloring involved! The picture really doesn't do this card justice.  It is so beautiful in real life!  Everyone liked all the Christmas Cards we made in the classes yesterday, but I think I heard the most comments about this particular card. We had so much fun Continue reading

Here's a fun card we made at the last Christmas Card Class at the Mason Dixon Library in Stewartstown, PA.  You just have to love these Frosty Friends!  I look forward to working with these little guys again at the next Christmas Card Class on Monday, November 12.  I hope you will make your plans to join us, this class is filling quickly so you'll want to RSVP soon Thank you for visiting today!

I love this Christmas Card, it's totally my style!   I saw another card that was similar, I think, I don't know where I saw it now but whether the same or different, this is what it inspired.  We made this at the last Christmas Card Class and at Tammy's party in Baldwin, MD this past weekend.  I love simple and elegant with  white space.  I some people can't handle white space . . . but it can do so much for a card I think! I hope your week is off to a wonderful start!  I am looking forward to the Christmas Card Plus Classes tomorrow.  If you haven't RSVP'd yet, but you would like to, Continue reading

We pulled out the Evergreen stamp set for the Christmas Card Class last Thursday.  I really like this stamp set!  I love the words to Silent Night in the shape of a tree and I love this sentiment as well. Here's the full card.  It's simple and yet fun with all the embossing, don't you think?  I saw a similar card someone else made and then I added some ribbon and made my own. Thank you for stopping by today, I hope you're having a wonderful weekend! Continue reading

The Christmas Card Plus class has been rescheduled for next Tuesday, November 6.  I thought perhaps you would like to see a little sneak peek at one of the cards we will be making.  Doesn't it look pretty with all the gold and beautiful red glimmer?  The Christmas Card Plus class is a chance for us to make some extra special cards using some accessories and techniques we don't normally have time to use in the "normal" Christmas Card Classes.  I am excited about the class and I hope since we've had to reschedule, this will give more of you a chance to attend! Check out the information below and Continue reading

The last couple days have been very busy ones with the storm!  I'm happy to be back online and sharing again. I made this card to showcase a technique I was teaching at the Stewartstown Technique Club and I will teach it again at the Baldwin MD Tech Club this coming Saturday. I need to keep this short today but I want to give you a quick reminder about the Christmas Card Class on Thursday evening, November 1 at 6:00 at the Mason Dixon Library.  Please RSVP today to attend!

I had to make my own version of a card another demonstrator, Mary, made. I love the blues with the Cotton Ribbon!  What a fun, warm sort of card as the weather outside quickly turns cold and windy! We are heading into Frankenstorm (or I guess I should say "Frankenstorm is heading into us") and it is very likely we will be losing power here in the next 24 hours.  Therefore, it may be a few days until I am able to put up a new post.  Keep checking back, I'll do so while we still have electricity and then I'll come back as soon as I can! Praying you all stay safe, warm and dry! Continue reading

Those attending the Scentsational Season Stamp of the Month class this month had the opportunity to make an extra card if they chose to have both the stamp set and the coordinating framelits included in the price of their class.  This is the extra card they got to make.  Isn't it cute?  It wasn't my idea, I copied it from several others I saw out there but as soon as I saw them, I knew this was going to be the "extra"! Who could resist all that cute ribbon fun?! Don't forget, tomorrow Stampin' Up! is offering their stamps at a 15% discount!  You can go ahead and start contacting me with Continue reading

This is another card we made in the Stamp of the Month classes on Tuesday using the Scentsational Season stamp set.  It's a fun card using our beautiful Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper combined with the In Color ribbon and of course the Scentsational Season stamp set.  Don't you just love those Christmas colors?  I saw a similar card someone else made and changed up the colors to fit my liking. Thank you for stopping by today.  Happy Friday! Continue reading

We had a lot of fun in the Stamp of the Month classes yesterday!  The stamps in the Scentsational Season stamp set are so very cute!  The little gingerbread man is especially cute, don't you think?  For some reason, when it comes to gingerbread men, I always seem to use Whisper White, Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler, always.  There's just something about those colors that says gingerbgread man to me.  Am I crazy? I love the embossing folder I used on the white cardstock, it screams frosting to me.  I don't eat frosting, I've never liked it, but that doesn't mean I don't admire and Continue reading

This is one of the Christmas Cards we made last evening in the Christmas Card Class.  I love this stamp with the bird but  have the hardest time coloring him and getting him to look right.  So, when I saw a similar card made by someone else I knew we had to make one.  I love using this stamp in ways that don't require coloring and this is perfect! We had a little variety in class with some cards having Bravo Burgundy and others having Rich Razzleberry and different ribbons as I am trying to use up some of my retired ribbons.  It was decided that both colors are quite pretty and work well Continue reading
