Monday Tease

Happy Monday....today I want to "tease" you just a little by showing you a couple of cards to our next Stamp A Stack. 

The Stamp A Stack is scheduled for October 24-25 at the St. Joe Fire Hall.  On October 24th you can come anytime between 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. (we need everyone to be done by 9:00 p.m.).  October 25th we are starting at 8:00 a.m. and need to be done by Noon.

We are offering two different kinds of cards this time, Christmas and All Occasion.

First card is one of the Christmas cards.

 

The next card is a sneak peak of one of the cards from the All Occasion set.

You can make these cards plus four other ones, that perhaps I'll "sneak peak" sometime.  At the Stamp A Stack you make a total of five different cards four of each for a total of 20 cards (including envelopes).  Cost for this is $20 for each set.  The deadline to sign up is October 17th.

Hope you enjoy.

Snippet Thursday

It's Snippet Thursday....today's cards are done by Joyce M. 

 

 

Just use various size strips to add a beautiful background to your card...snippets!!!



 

 

I just love both of these cards....using the same layout (small strips) look at how different they both are. 

 

Hope you enjoy the cards!



Friday Flair

Happy Friday,

It's Friday Flair day....I hope you enjoy this card.

The card was done by my friend and Stampin' Up Demonstrator Dena L.  I thought it was really cool how she cut the burlap ribbon in half and fringed it (I know that is hard to see on the picture).

Stamp Set:  For All Things and Good Greetings
Cardstock:  Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla, Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss, Color Me Autumn DSP
Ink:  Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze, Blackberry Bliss
Accessories:  Burlap Ribbon, Linen Thread, Gold Metal Buttons

I hope you enjoy the card.  Have a wonderful weekend.

Snippet Thursday

As you can tell by the title I'm starting a new weekly card....Snippet Thursday.

You may be wondering what "Snippets" are....well they are the leftovers from cardstock, designer paper, ribbons and pieces of Paper Pumpkin, that, in my world, have no need for anymore.  In comes my friends Carol and Joyce.   They have taught me that every "snippet" has a purpose.  I've been giving my snippets to these two awesome, creative stampers for years and the creations they come up with are amazing.  Well today I have a couple of cards that they have made and every Thursday will try and post another one, its always blows me away with what they have done.

 



Now I don't know exactly what snippets I've given them, but I guarantee you those two women use them.

I hope you enjoy this new segment.  If you have a snippet card that you would like to share, send it to me and maybe I can spotlight you on a "Snippet Thursday".

Have a wonderful day.

Rectangle Card

As promised yesterday I wanted to show you how you can make a rectangle card out of square framelit.

 

I started out with a card that is 4" x 5 1/2"

 



 

I folded it in half the long way (hamburger fold)

 

 

I then used the 5th square from our square template collection and positioned it over the middle of the card.

 



and walaaaaaa look at what happens...

 

and of course here is a card I made using this idea....

 



And this will be one of our cards we make at our October stamp club.  Thank you Carol D for the awesome idea!

Have a wonderful day.

I've been AWOL

Hello everyone....so sorry I've been AWOL this past week.  Way to many things going on, not that I need to go into detail, but one thing you want to know is that I was very busy cutting cardstock and getting ready for my stamp camp last weekend.  As you can tell from this pictures everyone had a good time....

 

 

Be watching tomorrow I have a special card I want to share with you, how would you like to learn how to make a rectangle out of our square framelits!  Stay tuned...have a wonderful day.
