Vintage Joyful Christmas

This fun, dimensional card is one of the three Christmas cards for my stamp camp this month. Please heck my calendar for dates and more information. I love the elegant, yet vintage feel of this card. The scan doesn't show the sparkle, but the berries in the center of the poinsettia are done with Dazzling details. Inspirationn for this card came from a fellow demonstrator, you can see her card here.

Make and Take for open house.

  

This is the free make and take that I am offering at this Saturdays open house. I have recently moved and my new house had a room in the back yard that the previous owner used to make pottery. It now has a new tile floor, fresh paint, cabinets and counters tops. This is my new crafting studio and classroom.

You no longer have to go up 14 stairs to get into the house, and then go up a flight of stairs to get to my previous room, that was half the size of my new room. I now can have larger stamp camps,  My Digital Studio demonstrations and classes, and soon I will be having crops also. If you are not in my email list and are in the Charleston/Summerville, South Carolina area and are interested in attending, please message me. I will call or email you back with more information.

Your Amazing and Bring on the Cake birthday card

So I succumbed to the Chevron craze. I know I said I didn't care for it, I should know better to say that, because I really like it on this card. So I guess what I should say is I like the Chevron design used in small portions. I even like the embossed Chevron on the inside of the card (not shown). My inspiration for this card came from this card here. Thank you Amy for the great card. I basically used her sketch, but changed up the colors, type of ribbon and put the sentiment on the left side of the balloon.

This card has the new Candy Dots used alone. The Your a Winner card uses them with the matching brads. So cool that you can use them either way. I love coloring a stamp with more than one color and our Stampin' Write markers are amazing, (pun intended). Look at the bold colors of the Happy Birthday.

Not that I am posting this and looking at the inside, I decided to also color the inside of the card. I can re-post that later.

This is the third card offered for stamp camp this month. Camp is Monday, July 29th at 10:30 am.
Reservations are required and seating in limited, so make you reservation today.

Winning ticket birthday card

I love this card. My stamp camp group asked for birthday cards, so this is one of the three we will be doing this month. I really love the sentiment on the inside done with the Early Espresso and Island Indigo Stampin' Write markers. I cased this card front from Stampin' Connection (A Stampin' Up! demonstrator only forum) from a demonstrator, Heidi King. Thank you Heidi for the great card. I did make the following changes. I cut out the elephant element instead of tearing, I used the natural trim ribbon. I also embossed the card front with the Stripes folder and added the Apothecarty accent die (cut shorter) and the candy dots. I also changed the card front to Early Espresso and Island Indigo.
