Undefined Stamp Carving Class

Look What I carved! 1

These pictures are from Stampin' Up!'s Convention last July.  The board above shows all of the products related to the Undefined Kit and the other pictures show stamps carved by convention attendees.  If you would like to join in the fun I have a class set up just for you ~ Wednesday, June 25, at 6 PM in the Cat/Art Studio.  The class fee is $35.00 and includes the basic Undefined Kit.

Undefined Carving Kit

If you have been a little hesitant to try out the Undefined Carving Kit (mostly because  you don't know how to use it), then I have good news!!  Stampin' Up! has released a video showing you how to use the kit and I'm sure after you see how it's done, you will want to get your own kit.  Take a look:

And, I have an UNDEFINED CLASS scheduled for June, I hope you will plan on attending.  More information on the class tomorrow. 

 


CARD IN A BOX CLASS

I loved having Sharon, Connie, Katy, Sarah, Chrissy and Martha in the Cat/Art Studio last night for some crafting fun and wanted to show you some of the cards created.  The Card in a Box Class is so much fun ~ everyone's turns out differently, everyone has fun and is proud to have created such a fantastic card.

This is Connie's card for her husbands upcoming birthday.  And, now for a SNEAK PEAK!  Sarah wanted to make a card for a baby shower.  I immediately thought of a new stamp set in the 2014-2015 Stampin' Up! catalog.  It is a darling baby set and, you'll be so happy, it comes with it's very own FRAMELITS!  Also, it is a BUNDLE ~ which means 15% off!

Too cute, right?  The set is 'Something for Baby' ~ 12 stamps!  I'll have the set at my Open House for you to see (or maybe use, yes definitely ~ we'll be doing make & takes!).  But, be sure to let me know if you are coming ~ the afternoon of June 6 or Saturday, June 7, from 10 AM to 2 PM.  Email me now!

Lastchance

As the Stampin’ Up catalog year comes to a close, so does some of our Carryover Lists like the holiday stamp sets.  Some of them will be gone as of next week.


We won't have a chance to get any of the new holiday items like Christmas stamps until the Holiday catalog starts in August.  If you want to start on some holiday cards and projects before that, you may want to think about purchasing some of these stamps before they are gone.  

I’m posting these as they are available now but can sell out immediately, so if you really want them, click on the item, it will take you to my store to see full size and prices.  (I posted the clear mount prices but wood is available also.)

Feel free to contact me with any questions or to place an order.

 


Watercolor Wonder Note Cards & Envelopes

All of my STAMP CLUB members used the Watercolor Wonder Note Cards & Envelopes in May.  You can find these wonderful note cards on page 22 in the Occasions (Spring) Catalog which is retiring on June 1.  There are 20 printed cards on watercolor paper, 4 each of 5 designs, for $12.95 (133362).  Many of you orderd one, or more, packages so I thought you might like another idea on how to use them ~ easily!  The idea, and the pictures, are from my fellow demonstrator, Catherine Harwood.  She used the Petite Petal Punch and the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper to make the flowers.  Thanks Catherine!  Enjoy!
