More Club Cards

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my stamp club ended a couple of weeks ago.  I am looking forward to beginning again soon.  If you are interested, let me know today and you will receive a free ink pad of your choice.
This card uses the set Best Wishes which will be gone forever on June 30.  The dsp is Cottage Wall and it is retiring as well as the Lovely Lilac and Mellow Moss cardstock.  If you wish to order any products that are retiring, please contact me as soon as possible.  I will be placing the last order Tuesday June 29 at 8pm.

These are some Ghiradelli chocolates that I covered with dsp and gave to my club girls on our last night.  It is an easy and inexpensive way to dress up a little gift.

Big Card Class

A few months ago I was asked by my Grandma if I would come and do a card class for her church group. I accepted and yesterday I went to Creemore (near Stayner) to teach a class for approximately 40 ladies. This was the largest group I have worked with but it went fabulous. I designed all the cards around colour that are retiring. You may recognize a couple of these cards from past posts.
This first picture features Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry which will be gone forever after June 30. The stamp set is Circle Circus which will be in the new catalogue.

This second picture features the colours Green Galore, Barely Banana (one of my fav's which I will be sad to see leave), and Blush Blossom. The stamp sets are Animal Stories and Fifth Avenue Floral will still be here.

The last picture uses Bermuda Bay again and Ruby Red. The stamp sets are Fun and Fast Notes and the Medallion stamp.

A reminder that June 30 is the LAST day to purchase any retiring stamp sets, cardstock, or accessories. You may also want to check out the clearance rack by clicking here.

Happy Father's Day

This past week I was invited by my team member, Alycia, to come to her masculine card class. I was happy to go and enjoyed sitting and making the cards instead of coming up with the idea and preparing! This card we made for Father's Day and I gave it to my dad.


It uses the stamp set Eight Great Greetings which is retiring on June 30. The cardstock colours are Sahara Sand, Chocolate Chip, and Brilliant Blue.

This was a frame that I created for my Dad also. I inked up Gavin and Nelia's (my niece) feet with versamark and pressed them onto the cardstock. I then put the white embossing powder over the feet and heated it with the heat tool. It is neat to see the difference and is a great keepsake!

Hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather. On another note, in a month from today, I will be headed to Salt Lake City for Stampin' Up!'s annual Convention. I can't wait!!

Club Projects

Last week was the end of my stamp club. I had lots of fun teaching these ladies new techniques and preparing projects for them. If you would like to get in on the fun, let me know.
All 3 cards we made used retiring stamp sets and colours. This card uses the stamp set Embrace Life and Ruby Red cardstock which will both be leaving on June 30

I made one of these cards for each person to thank them for being in my stamp club and for their business. These cards use the Medallion stamp and a variety of colours of cardstock. I also gave them a couple other little treats that I will share with you next time! Remember to check out the Last Chance Lists and get your order in by June 30!

I went through the lists all of you sent me with your guesses for my retiring stamp set contest and Gayle W had 6 of her guesses correct. It was very close because almost everyone else had 5 correct answers. Congrats Gayle!
