Card Class to support CHKD

Thursday's ALL OCCASION CARDS class was in support of Children's Hospital of the Kings Daughters.  The fees from the class are donated to the East Beach Circle.  Thank you for being so generous ~ Cyndi Fisher, Barbara Crapps, Diane Gibson, Lynne Galewski, Judy Wood and Lynne Henderson!  The cards we made are below.  I have Project Sheets for each of the cards and if you would like a copy of one (or all four) let me know.  I will ask for a small donation to include with the donations that I have.  Thanks!

Peace To You

Peace To you is a lovely stamp set on page 41 in the Holiday Mini Catalog.  I have a project sheet for you and I tried, again, to upload the picture of the card but wasn't able to.  So, I will add the project sheet and, when you click on the link you will see the card and be able to print off the directions.  (No peace to me ~ I am so frustrated with this problem and the fact that it has been going on so long!)

However, I also wanted you to know that my last 2022 Christmas Card Class is scheduled for Monday afternoon, November 14, at 2 PM in the Cat/Art Studio.  I will have three or four designs and you can make six or eight cards/your choice.  This will be one of the cards ~

Melissa & the Little Creek Church ladies group

Melissa has contributed her creative endeavors many times to my blog and she continues today with a recent event at her church.  I thought you would be interested.  She lives one of Stampin' Up's Goals ~ We will make a difference in the lives of others by sharing creativity and opportunities to enhance lives.  Thank you Melissa!

MnT sample

The DSP was called “Share What You Love” so I did!  Our Little Creek Church ladies group meets (almost) monthly for some activity.   For our October gathering we choose a craft day – some painting and some bracelet making; I came up with an easy Make n Take.  I even put out a bunch of Susan Elise’s business cards!

Recipe

  • I cut up loads of Share What You Love DSP 3.875 x 5.125
  • I cut up loads of Basic Black CS 4 x 5.25 ( I wanted a very thin Basic Black and color backing)
  • I cut up loads of matching CS in several colors 4.125 x 5.375
  • I provided several pre-stamped sentiments, all in coordinating colors
  • I provided several styles of doilies, all in coordinating colors
  • I precut DSP banners, and provided lots of scrap DSP and CS from the trimmings above

MnT set-up

With a Basic White card, take one from each bowl and assemble.  Everything matched everything, so no one had to worry about style.  Some folks veered from the sample, by putting the banner in different directions (north/south) or making a starburst effect with several CS rays.  They went crazy, and had loads of fun.

Christmas Card Class

I wanted to share the cards that we made in Katy's Christmas Card class on Wednesday morning.  She is a talented lady who loves to create with Stampin' Up! products and she loves to knit.  So, she invited her knitting friends to the Cat/Art Studio to enjoy a morning of card making.  Some stampers and some never-have-stamped-before ladies who choose Christmas cards and enjoyed the results.  Here are some friend pictures ~
