More One Sheet Wonder and a Spring Card

Here is another of my One Sheet Wonder cards.  I plan to do a lot of these in the next several months as I have so many sheets of multiple Designer Series Paper.  As I mentioned each set of six cards uses only one sheet of 12" x12" Designer Series Paper and they are so easy and fun to make.

I promised closer pictures of this weekend's Spring Got Cards class so here is the first one and one of my favorites.  I've seen lots of this Designer Paper done with similar cards but this is my take on a beautiful wedding card.  Sahara Sand has never been my favorite color, but I love the Something Borrowed Paper.  There are beautiful metal embellishments that match as well as some gorgeous lace ribbon that has been stuck in ships off shore and not able to be ordered until the back orders catch up.

Tomorrow is my Simply Stampin' Lunch Bunch and Aerubbecisor Downline dinner gathering so I will have even more to share in the next few days.  Hope you enjoy them.  Don't forget tomorrow is the last day of Saleabration so it is the last chance to get something special with a minimum order.  I will be putting my last order in tomorrow afternoon.  Hugs, Sherron

Spring Got Cards Class

It was such a great group of ladies today for my annual Spring Got Cards class.  Everyone had the opportunity to choose from eight different cards and could make as many of each as they wanted.  My regulars were there as well as a couple of new people including an old friend from my Mossyrock days.  I was so excited to visit with Sandy Miller who moved to Kelso when I moved to Longview.  Here is a sneek peak at the eight cards.  Most were cased from other demonstrators although I changed a few and included a couple of my own designs.  I'll post pics of the individual cards with ingredients over the next weeks.  First, I wanted to show another of the One Sheet Wonder cards for my new class on May 9th.

Here is a sneek peak at all of the projects for this month's Spring Got Cards class.  For the most part, I copied them from other demonstrators although, as I said, I did create a few of my own.  Stay tuned for more individual projects with the ingredients to create each one.

I love this class as it gives me so much license to do cards for all kinds of occasions including weddings ( I have two granddaughters and a niece in the next six months) and baby's ( two nieces have boys coming in August and I used this card for my nephew's first born son who arrived in February).  Stay tuned for how each one was created.  Hugs, Sherron

The Last of the Swaps and One Sheet Wonder Class

I just haven't been able to get enthused about blogging lately.  When you keep writing and never see any comments or hear that anyone is watching, it is hard to keep up the motivation.  But I promised that I would do at least several when I had something to share so I will keep on trying.

Here are the last three projects from the Aerubbecisor ribbon swap.  With the next swap coming on Tuesday next week, I thought I had better get these posted.

 Tracie Cress is my newest demonstrator.  She signed up in January and is going crazy with weekly classes.  For her first swap, she made several different designs as she doesn't have lots of any color.  Of course, I got to choose my favorite so this one is done with the Lotus Blossom set and silver ribbon.

 Michelle Stumbo made a very simple card using a retired ribbon from 2013 as a nice background with the Petite Petals punch.  She proves you do not need to have lots of stuff to make some great thank you cards.

Wileen Carlton chose the Regarding Dahlias flower coupled with the Silver Satin Ribbon for an elegant, but simple card.  I love the saying because it is so true.

I have been a paper junky for my whole career with Stampin' Up! and really need to make some more projects with all of the Designer Series Paper.  We used to do a One Sheet Wonder class in a totally different way, but everyone is now doing the great one sheet wonder class with just one design to make 6 cards.  I've been tempted to do one lately and today I needed a break from normal class projects and Easter baskets.  I cut one sheet of the Painted Blooms DSP, the one that is a field of flowers with lots of white on it, into 6 pieces that are 4" x 5 1/4".  Using coordinating card stock and ribbon, I made six gorgeous cards adding a little bling on some and a butterfly on one.  It took me only about an hour to make all six cards and I loved them all.  I think I will start a class every month that will be a one sheet wonder class, maybe even twice a month using the same package of Designer Series Paper.  I'm assuming Stampin' Up! will continue giving us these awesome papers in the new catalog coming out on June 3.  I plan to choose another of these pretty papers in the next week and do another set of six to see if I find them as easy as these first ones.  Watch for a class announcement for May for a couple of One Sheet Wonder classes.  Here is a sneak peek at one of the cards that I made.

For those of you who think you don't have enough time to create your own cards or can't afford the supplies, this class will show you that neither are true.  You do and you can.  Stay tuned for more fun with paper.

Hugs, Sherron

More swaps

The last two weeks have flown by as I did five workshops, a big Ladies Day Out bazaar, Stampaholics Anonymous and a 330 mile trip up north of Seattle where I used to live for a downline dinner gathering to discuss the changes to Stampin' Up!  Blogging is not the highlight of my day so it has taken the hits as I tried to keep up with everything.  I have never been a fan of computers.  I much prefer to be stamping and teaching classes than sitting in front of a computer, but I'm going to try and continue to keep up at least several times a month or more if I have lots to share.

Here are some more of the swaps that my wonderful downline demonstrators did for our monthly Aerubbecisor swap.  February theme was ribbon.

 Bobbi Hartsell did a beautiful card using the Irresistibly Yours Salebration Paper combined with the Butterflies Thinlits Die.  She sponged the paper with Crushed Curry ink to pop the embossed flowers on the paper and used the Spring Flowers Embossing Folder on the white cardstock.  Her ribbon to finish the card is the Crushed Curry Chevron Ribbon.  It is a stunning card.

 Karen Ross used the fantastic new Crazy about You stamp Set with the matching Flower Medallion Punch.  This is one of the most popular stamp sets in the current Occasions Mini.  Her ribbon of choice to accent her card is the Marina Mist 1/4" cotton ribbon.  It just makes you ready for spring.

Verna Almer-Tidd chose the very popular Papillion Potpourri for her pretty butterfly card.  The matching punches make this card so easy to make.  She also chose the Chevron Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler for her accent ribbon and a Teeny Tiny Wishes "just for you" to complete her sweet card.

I'll have three more cards to share for this swap plus lots of other cards from recent classes.  Our theme this month is just "spring" so you will get to see some fantastic artwork from my talented downline.  If you would like to join our swap group, just sign up to become a demonstrator for $99 and let the fun begin.  Hugs, Sherron

Lots of fun swaps

Here are the first of the group swaps from our Aerubbecisor swap for February.  Mine is the first one so you get the ingredients for it.  It was my own design and used the Best Day Ever saleabration set so you have to go to the catalog to get the info on it.  It is free through the end of this month with a $50 order.  The theme for February's swap was ribbon so each card will feature one of our fabulous ribbons.

Stamp clubs and projects

It has been a busy two days with Earlibirds stamp club yesterday and the Fuzzy Pebbles in Mossyrock today.  I really enjoy my stamp clubs as there is so much laughter and good times to be had.  These ladies have been stamping with me for quite a few years and they never get tired of all of the projects that I bring.  I'll be posting those projects over the next several weeks so stay tuned for more great ideas.  In the meantime, here is the last project from my Simply Stampin' Lunch Bunch.  This is one that I copied directly from one of my favorite demonstrators, Julie Davison.  Julie is one of the nicest ladies that I have met through Stampin' Up!.  She is so willingto answer questions and share her wonderful gift of creativity.  Julie calls this one her "Hidden Message Slider Card".  Everyone loved the way this turned out and the fun stamp set that gets very little attention.

My Swap of the Month project for February was a friend card using lace or fancy ribbon.  It could be paper or fabric.  I decided to use one of our most popular stamp sets from the Occasions mini and the Paper Lace that we had in our catalog several years ago.  I am trying so hard to use up some of my huge stash of goodies as I decided that I really didn't want to win anymore.  Of course I mean that "she who dies with the most crafting supplies, wins".  Here is my February Swap of the Month card.

I had some problems taking pics of the Aerubbecisor swaps as they wouldn't copy right side up so I will take the pictures again and hope I figure out why my I-phone hates me.  I have all of the Birthday Blitz cards to share and my stamp club projects so there is no shortage of blog post material.  Stay tuned.  Hugs, Sherron
