Tin of Cards class

Today was my Tin of Cards class.  This kit has been so popular that it was on backorder for two months.  Everyone had such a great time and got the whole thing done in just a little over three hours.  Here are some pics from the class.

 The Tin comes with all the dividers and four different card designs.  You make four of each one putting whatever sayings you like on each.  The stamp set is not included with the kit so I provided that and the stamp pads.  The "CARDS" label was also not included but I thought it just want with the Tin.

 These were the four card designs included in the kit.  Everyone made all 16 cards with plenty of room for more in the tin.

 Several ladies were not able to make the class so I will be offering it again in October and November along with the Watercolor Wishes kit and the Cottage Greetings kit.  I'll have pictures of those kits in the next few days.

Here is another of the projects from this month's stamp clubs.  This one was my own design.  I love the new Brick Wall embossing folder.  The Hearth and Home window with the Happy Scenes stamp set is so fun to play with.  I expect to see some winter scenes done with this one in the future.  The Holiday mini is so full of great stamp sets and bundles.  Hugs, Sherron

Catching up!

I'm finally catching up after a wonderful whirlwind wedding weekend.  It was another amazing gathering of family and friends.  The groom's family from England were delightful.  We had a big family BBQ at my daughter's home on Friday night, a wonderful wedding day at Sidetrack Distillery/Lazy River Farm and capped off with a big brunch again hosted by the bride's parents.  So fun to share the present opening with bride and groom.  Here are some pics of our fantastic weekend.

 The groom's family from England.  Don't you just love their Fascinator hats that are so traditional.

 My family.  We were missing granddaughter Kira and her new husband, Clinton who love in Australia now and granddaughter, Kelsey attending Grand Canyon University in Arizona for her freshman year.  I have such an awesome family.

Here is another of my projects for this month's stamp clubs.  I copied it from Pinterest.  The Vintage Leaves bundle is one of my favorites.  The Watercolor Wash large background stamp provides an interesting look that could be clouds.  The Burlap ribbon and Linen Thread give the card such a nice fall earthy feel.

I'm getting ready for my Tin of Cards class on Saturday.  I'll post pictures of the projects and the fun that the ladies have.  Hugs, Sherron

Wedding weekend

It's finally here!  My oldest granddaughter is getting married and we headed north to the Seattle area to enjoy a weekend of celebration with our family.

I wanted to post the last of the Holiday cards.  I realized that I have posted several twice and missed my fireplace card so here it is.

 This was my own design.  I love the Festive Fireplace bundle. The kitty on the hearth looks just like my Balinese, Whiskey.

Now to share the first of the projects from this month's stamp clubs.

 This card was designed by Dawn Griffith and uses one of my favorite new sets, Awesomely Artistic.  We all love unusual folds and everyone had such fun making this one.  It is really easier than it looks and is a monochromatic card with just Tip Top Taupe ink.

I will share the rest of the projects next week after I share my wonderful wedding pictures.  Hugs, Sherron

More samples.

I finished the last of my four stamp clubs yesterday with two back to back because of the labor day holiday.  I am so blessed with wonderful ladies who love to play with me.  We had a lot of guests join us this month as everyone wanted to see the new Holiday mini.  Here are two more of the Holiday cards from my class and a look at the projects all the ladies got to make this month.

 This is my favorite bundle in the new mini.  I love the Jingle All The Way stamp set and the matching Sleigh Ride Edgelits Dies.  Don't you just love the snowy scene.  I did a lot of sponging and the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper to create the Snow look.  I predict you will see lots more of this bundle in the next couple of months.

The new Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is bundled with the Among the Branches stamp set.  The snowflakes among the trees are from that set.  The "Peace" is from the Christmas Greetings Thinlits Dies which is bundled with the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set.  The "on earth" is from this set.  It is another of my favorites from the catalog.

These are the four projects that my stamp club members got to make this month.  I'll share a closer look at them in days to come.  They were very popular with all of the ladies. I am so grateful that many demonstrators are willing to share their creations with us through their blogs and Pinterest.  

This weekend is the last wedding of the summer.  My oldest granddaughter will be marrying her English sweetheart who has worked with her at Camp Sealth on Vashon Island for the past five years.  It will be a country wedding at a blueberry farm distillery with lots of fun events.  I can't wait to share pictures.  Hugs, Sherron

Tin of Cards and more Sneak peeks

I finished making my Tin of Cards today.  It is featured on the cover of our annual catalog and has been so popular that it has been backordered constantly.  It was so easy and fun to make the dividers and 16 cards included in the kit.   I am offering it as a class on the 26th for just $35 which includes the kit and everything to complete it.  It is a perfect gift for yourself or anyone else who wants a variety of cards for every occasion.  I foresee lots of additional cards being made at Stampaholics Anonymous to keep the box full.  Here are pics of the finished project.

I promised more pictures of the projects from my Holiday Sneak Peek so here are two more.

 I absolutely love this bundle with the Woodland embossing folder and the Among the Branches stamp set.  It is on page 39 of the Holiday mini.  I used the snowflake from the set and added the Peace from the Christmas Greetings thinlits dies that is part of another bundle with the Holly Jolly Greetings on page 34.  I believe it was one which I found on Pinterest.

This one was my own design. I love the window framelit and the bundle that includes a variety of scenes you can find outside the window.   It is called Happy Scenes and is a bundle with the Hearth and Home thinlits on page 11 of the Holiday mini.  The "wallpaper" is from the Into the Woods designer Series Paper on page 53.  I look forward to creating lots of different scenes with this one.

I have just two more Sneak peeks to share and then I will post the projects that my stamp clubs are doing this month.  Hugs. Sherron.

More Holiday Sneak peek

It's a rainy cool day as usual on Labor Day weekend.  Perfect for catching up on stamping projects and getting ready for the Holiday catalog.  Here are a couple more cards that I actually designed for my Holiday Sneak Peek.

 I was thrilled when I saw that there was a new wreath set to match the framelits that came out in last year's Holiday mini.  The framelits came out this year in the annual Idea book along with a spring wreath set.  The new one is called Peaceful Wreath and includes the wreath, the bow, a large Holly branch and four sayings.  It is on page 21.  I used the "Wishing you", " Peace", and " ...at Christmas" on my card.  The set also includes "to the world".  The designer paper is a paper Stack called Merry Moments that matches a regular package of designer paper in our big catalog, but the great thing about this Stack is it has just four of the designs. There are 48 sheets of 6" x 6" doubles Sided sheets with 24 of two designs so there is plenty to make a bunch of Christmas cards. It is on page 27.  I finished off the wreath with the Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details.

I love this new bundle in the Holiday mini that features eight different decorated trees with a bunch of sayings and decorations for the trees. It is called Peaceful Pines and is on page 16 and 17.  The bundle includes eleven dies that cutout the trees and also decorates them.  It is going to be such a fun set to play with.  I made the frosty hill by freehanding a scrap of Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Paper.  The snowy sky is done with a new embossing folder called Softly Falling on page 24.  I lightly rubbed the whisper white stamp pad after it was embossed.

I'll have some more of the projects in the next couple of days.  If you haven't received your new Holiday mini, let me know and I will get one to you.   Hugs, Sherron

Papercrafting Day.

It was a fun and productive papercrafting day with stamping friends, Connie and Lila.  Connie and I worked on our August Paper Pumpkin kits. I made the six cards with some extra odds and ends of accessories as well as goodies that came with the kit.  Connie didn't want her boxes so I made hers and mine, too.   Lila caught up on the project she didn't get to finish from last months stamp club.  Here are the pics of the six cards and six boxes that I created.

 I promised to share the projects from my Holiday catalog sneak peek.  I don't know about you, but I'm having a hard time getting excited for the holidays.  The days are getting shorter and colder, but I'm not done with warm weather, shorts and flip flops.  But here are the first two projects.

 This card was cased from Pinterest with a  few changes.  I love the Snow Place stamp set and matching framelits.  The sayings are so fun.  You will see lots more from this set.

If you are looking for a really easy Holiday card for a very reasonable price, this is the best choice.  For just $20.75 you get a beautiful embossing folder with a 17 piece photopolymer set called Berry Merry.  It is very easy to use yet still offers a variety of stamps for many different looks.  I'll share some more ideas plus the other six cards coming up soon. 

I haven't loaded the new holiday catalog link on my blog yet.  I have to get some help from my friend, Jana again.  Hopefully soon.  Hugs, Sherron
