New classes

There are some changes to my upcoming classes. I’ve cancelled the last Tuesday of the month classes and will begin last Monday classes. The times are 10:00 am until noon and 7:00-9:00 pm. Note the time change. Also, beginning in August we will be doing a Christmas card buffet on the second Monday of the month from 10-noon or 7-9 pm. You will make 10 cards a month (August –November) with a total of 40 cards. Cost is $20 a month for a total cost of $80.00. RSVP and payment is due by the first Monday of the month. If you pay for all 4 months in advance the cost would be $75.00, a savings of $5.00. I am also offering a class to go. It will include a stamp set (your choice of clear or wood mount) and pre-cut supplies for 4 cards. A print out of the 4 cards will be included with a picture. If you already own the stamp set we are using, you can substitute another of equal value. The first class will include Button Buddies stamp set (#122735 wood or #122737 clear) and all supplies for the cards. Class cost is $35 for wood or $30 for clear. You will need acrylic blocks to mount your stamps. We will use block D (118485 $8.50) for this class. You can add $10.00 to your payment to include the acrylic block. Payment is due by July 10th and class will be available for pick-up or mailing (add $5.25 for priority shipping) on July 20th. A list of additional supplies needed will be included in the directions.

REALLY need new recruits

I find myself in need of 3 new recruits. The Stampin’Up! special is $99.00 to join and you pick the $125.00 in products for your kit.

That's up to $48 in additional FREE products! AND if you join by tomorrow you will also get to attend my Christmas card class on the 3rd Monday of the month (August-November) for FREE!!!! Your commitment as a demonstrator is $300 a quarter, which works out to be one workshop every 3 months. I am more than willing to help you with these. Don’t wait, call me today and we can get you started. 330-719-4152.

Change in class day

Beginning in July I am changing the last Tuesday of the month class to the last Monday. Seems to work out better for more people and I would like to increase my class size. July's cards will be generic. You can add whatever sentiment you choose. RSVP today.

Last card for the Carnival

This is the last card I made for the 7 yr. old who was badly hurt in an accident several weeks ago. They are having a carnival for her at the end of the month. Anyone who buys the cards can fill them out right there and put them in a box for her to look at when she is better.

And another one.

Here is another card I made for the carnival. I had so much fun making these and knowing where they are going. I still have retired items for sale. I have them marked at a greater discount. Call or email to set up a time to come and see what is left.

Still another card for the Carnival

Here is another card. I found the original on Pinterest.

Another card for the Carnival

This card was inspired by one I found on Dannie Graves website.

Another card for the little girl

This is another of the cards that will be available at the carnival.

Cards for an injured little girl

For the next few days I will be posting cards I've made for a 7 year old that was injured last week. The cards are going to be sold at a carnival and whomever buys them will sign it and put it in a box. My downline, Jessica Hampton, is one of the organizers of the carnival. If you are in the Warren area the last weekend stop down at courthouse square. I can't get the picture to upload, very slow internet today. I'll try again later.

See what you missed!

This is the card the In-Color Club will be receiving with their orders this month. It's not too late to make this card your own. I will need RSVP and payment for next months In-Color Club by July 1st. with product arriving by the 10th. Don't wait, contact me today.

Time is running out!

Tomorrow, June 10th, is the last day to join the In-Color Club for this month. The featured color is Summer Starfruit and the accent color is Midnight Muse. I used Betsy's Blossoms for the stamp and Apothecary Accents Framelits. Call or email me by 10 am tomorrow and this card will be your bonus. Oops these are just the parts. I'll show you the final card tomorrow.

Every so often

Every so often I will sit down with our catalog and read it from cover to cover. That is how I found this wonderful aide for all of you. If you are beginning to use the clear mount stamps use this link to find a downloadable form to see which block you need for your stamps. Print it out on our heavy vellum and then you can hold it over the stamps to see if it fits.

Interesting experience

My friends came over to stamp, in the basement, and we had a power failure halfway thru the second card. Down came the candles and we finished that card and started the third one by candle light. We laughed about what an adventure it was. The lights came on as we were beginning the punching for the third one. What a hoot trying to line up the stamping with the punch by candles.
