By the Tide Class to Go

Sorry my posts have been sparse lately.  I'm still catching up on things since I returned from my trip earlier.  Plus we have all kinds of things going on at home - one is my son is graduating from High School next weekend so we're having an Open House to celebrate. Lots to do!  Here's one of his senior photos.

The last one; my baby - Isaac!  He's a great kid and this fall he'll leave home for college too....  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On to stamping news!  I'm very happy with this month's class to go using the By the Tide stamp set. 

To be honest I liked some of the images in this set right away but thought I could live without it.  Then I saw what others were doing and fell in love with each of these images!  It's amazingly versatile!

I think it's perfect for masculine, sympathy, pretty and girly or just a thinking of you card.  Here are a few of the cards I made with it:

Here is another of my favorite color combo's - Pool Party & Calypso Coral.  So glad they're being added to our color families in the next catalog!!

I think these images are perfect for a sympathy or 'thinking of you' card.  The colors here are Island Indigo and Crumb Cake.

This one was cased from my friend Kay Kalthoff.  Such an easy man's card! 

I have two more cards included in this class to go but I like to save them for a nice surprise when you get your kit and instructions. 

***Here's how it works: When you order the By the Tide stamp set for the Class to Go in clear or wood mount you'll receive all of the pre-cut supplies needed to make 5 cards shipped directly to you. You will stamp your images using your new stamp set and your supply of ink pads to finish them like mine.  I will pre-punch and texture everything for you and send the cards kit and stamp set to you in the mail.  Then you'll receive the photos & step by step directions sent in a pdf document via e-mail.

The best part of doing these Class to Go projects is that you'll have 5 great ideas for your new stamp set in the future!  Isn't that what most of us need - creative design ideas? 

***If you already have this stamp set you can substitute an item of like value.  Remember that these Class to Go offers are only available during the current month.  If you are interested be sure to let me know by the date given below.  The kit will be sent out the first week in June.  

I am sorry but at this time I do not offer the tutorial for these cards separately.

Floral Simply Scrappin' Tutorial

I held another Speedy Scrappin' class Saturday where the gals made 16 pages in 2 -3 hours! 

I decided to make two different groups of pages so I used two Simply Scrappin' kits.  We used one complete kit to make the 16 back-to-back pages.  All I added were a few extra pieces of coordinating card stock for photo mats and titles. 

Unfortunately the new catalog coming out in a few weeks does not include many scrapbooking items and no more Simply Scrappin' kits!!!  I am not sure what I'll use for my Speedy Scrappin' classes now!  So I suggest you get them while you can as they're on the retired list and only available while supplies last! 

Here are a few of the page layouts:

The above layout is from the Afternoon Daydream SS kit and the one below is from the Razzleberry Splash kit.  You can see both kits below. 

Here's the Afternoon Daydream kit - check it out here.  They're just $21.95 which is an incredible deal for all you get. In each kit are 6 pages of double-sided designer series paper, eight 12" sheets of solid card stock and three 12" sheets of adhesive die-cut stickers!

Next is the Razzleberry Splash Simply Scrappin' kit.  See it here. 

I have made a tutorial for these 16 pages for those who want to make them but cannot be here.  It includes photos with measurements, supplies list and directions too. 

You will need to either use die-cut letters for your titles, alphabet stamps or purchased letter stickers to make titles like I did.

Flower Fair Album Tutorial!

Remember this?

My class was last Saturday and the gals loved making their pages!  Some of their comments were:

• If only all scrapbooking was this easy.
• This is the way to scrapbook! 
• I love this book! 

Using the Flower Fair Simply Scrappin' bundle from the Spring Catalog they made thirty 8 X 8" pages ready to add photos to.  All in about 2 hours. 

Everything needed to complete this album is in the kit with the exception of a few extra White 8 X 8" sheets, 5 extra page protectors and white photo mats. I had everything cut out for them using the templates I designed. 

If you'd like to make your own album I now have the tutorial ready to go.  Click here to go to my Shop to see it.  It's just $7.50!!!

 

April Technique Class

Shoot; I am late in getting this out there for you!  I lost track of time.  We have sooo much going on in our life right now.  Prepping for our Fiji trip, my son's high school graduation, still working on the house!, normal classes and events for me and still more yet.

My local class is next Tuesday. 

I LOVE the cards we are making this month!  Look!

I'm calling this one Stamped Framing. Isn't it pretty! I used the Fine Feathers & Word Play stamp sets.

And this one is Faux Colored Denim.  Love that pink denim pocket!  How real does it look to you?

And last is the newly popular Chalkboard technique.  Isn't the black and yellow gorgeous! This one is cased from my dear friend Susie.  She is super creative and it seems to come so easily to her too! 

Local class is on Tuesday, April 23rd at either 3 pm or 6 pm.  Cost is $10 for all three cards plus the quarter size technique sample cards. RSVP by Sunday eve.

If you cannot attend the class locally you can get the online tutorial for these techniques for just $4.  Just click below to see this month's class and previous classes too.  If you want a bargain you can choose a bundle where you get 12 months but two are free.  Check it out!

My Stampin' Shop

Secret Garden 4 Sheet Wonder!

I love this stamp set!  I haven't made a new set of 4 Sheet Wonder cards in awhile now and I knew this set would be perfect for it.  Look....

See?  It's gorgeous if I do say so myself!!

I used Old Olive, Pretty in Pink, Raspberry Ripple with Whisper White.  The 4 templates to make these cards are part of my 4 Sheet Wonder tutorial my husband and I created years ago.  It's for sale for just $7.50 on my Flowerbug's Shop here. 

Whenever I make one of these I am reminded of how very easy it is to make 10 cards fast.  There's no measuring at all - honest!  The most difficult decision is what colors and stamp set to use.  From there I make it easy for you with my FOUR templates (most OSW's have just 1 template).  It's like cards by number!  Just print out the main template on your 8 1/2 X 11" neutral sheet and then stamp the other side with your stamps, creating your own patterned paper (which also works here!). Then you cut 10 pieces out using the printed lines. The 3 colored templates all have numbers printed on the back side with lines for cutting too.  After I cut them out I put the pieces in piles of 10 and then assemble the cards. 

If you've purchased this 4 Sheet Wonder from me previously there's no need to buy it again.  I printed the templates as follows:

• Template A - Old Olive
• Template B - Raspberry Ripple
• Template C - Pretty in Pink 
  

I added a few greetings from Perfectly Penned along with some ribbons and extra die-cut flowers and leaves from the set to finish them off.

I have lots of other tutorials for sale plus one free one too. Check it out!

***I do have a plan in the works for a brand new version of my 4 Sheet Wonder with all new templates and sketches coming soon.

 

Oh, Whale Class to Go

This month's class to go kit features both the Oh, Whale stamp set and matching Happy Whale Clearlit die.  So fun!

Here are a few of the cards:

Isn't this cute with the umbrella?

The little extras on the Clearlit die make it so fun to accessorize -  fish, anchor, splash, heart & star too. Cased from Tami White. 

Cute isn't it!  This would be a great anniversary or wedding card too wouldn't it?  And that paper is just perfect here - the free Sale a Bration Sycamore Street dsp.  This was cased from Jill Hilliard. 

***When you order the Oh, Whale stamp set and Clearlit die for the Class to Go in clear or wood mount you'll receive all of the pre-cut supplies needed to make 5 cards shipped directly to you.

Technique Classes are back!

I've taken a few month's off from Technique Class but it's back!  And I sure love the cards and techniques this time!

Oh, Hello - February Class to Go

This is the stamp set and framelits bundle for this month's Class to Go; Oh, Hello on page 4 of the Spring catalog.

I love this set for many reasons; for it's versatility, the eye-catching font and that you can create feminine or masculine projects and of course that the new Oval framelit dies coordinate with it. 

Here are three of the cards included in the 5 cards kit:

I really like this card - easy yet pretty too.  And did I say versatile?  The 'Hello' stamp works for many occasions. Certainly Celery & Wisteria Wonder are the colors here. 

A great window card showcasing the oval image and die.  The leaves are die-cut using the Little Leaves sizzlit.  This is a case of a similar card done by Debbie Currier. 

I knew I wanted to do a masculine card for this class and Night of Navy was the color I started with.  Cherry Cobbler and  Basic Gray made the final cut.  It's a fun layout made by mixing different sizes of patterned papers with a solid background. 

***When you order the Oh, Hello Bundle for the Class to Go in clear or wood mount you'll receive all of the pre-cut supplies needed to make 5 cards shipped directly to you. You will stamp your own images using your own new stamp set and ink pads or markers and possibly an extra greeting or two. I will pre-punch and texture everything for you and send the cards kit and stamp set to you in the mail.  I will provide the card stock for you to die-cut your stamped pieces too. I'll even tie your bows! Then you'll receive the photos & step by step directions with measurements sent in a pdf document via e-mail.

Here's a picture of last month's class to go before it's sent out:

Hearts a Flutter Class to Go

Each month for the next four I am featuring new stamp sets from the Spring Catalog for my monthly Classes to Go. 

This month it's the Hearts a Flutter Bundle - stamp set and matching framelits. 

I thoroughly enjoyed making the cards for this set.  The images and the coordinating Framelits are unique and I found them quite versatile!

I chose my colors for this card from the new Sycamore Street Sale a Bration designer paper - FREE with a $50 order after January 22nd.  And the coordinating 1/4" satin ribbon too.  Love these colors together!  SU is so good at color coordination - one of the biggest reasons I am so happy with SU products.

I made this into a baby card but it could easily be a wedding, anniversary or Valentine card.  This layout would also work for many other punches - consider using stars, circles or even butterflies!

And there is just something about banners and flags - they're very hot right now!  I love the way they are set at an angle with little ribbon knots holding them together.  The greeting set here is another new favorite of many - 'Feel Goods' on page 21 of the Spring Catalog.

***When you order the Hearts a Flutter Bundle for the Class to Go in clear or wood mount you'll receive all of the pre-cut supplies needed to make these 5 cards shipped directly to you. You will need a few extra items such as ink pads or markers and a greeting or two. I will pre-punch or texture everything for you and send the cards kit and stamp set to you in the mail.  I will provide the paper for you to die-cut your stamped pieces too. Then you'll receive the photos & step by step directions with measurements sent in a pdf document via e-mail.

But the best part of doing these Class to Go projects is that you then have 5 great ideas for your new stamp set in the future!  Isn't that what most of us need - creative design ideas?

Merry Moments Speedy Scrappin'

I just love this Simply Scrappin' kit in the Holiday catalog.  It's called Merry Moments and features a beautiful and unique color combination of Old Olive, Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler and Basic Gray. 

I've made both cards and scrapbook pages with it.  The sixteen 12 X 12" pages are done almost exclusively with the kit. I only added a few extra pieces of 8 1/2 X 11" card stock for photo boxes.  See some of them below.  I plan to fill mine up with the beautiful photo cards I receive during the Holidays.

This class will be on January 12th at 10:30 am.  You'll make all of the 16 pages at class and it will take about 3-4 hours at the most.  The class fee is $18.  Just order your Simply Scrappin kit this month and I'll prepare and cut your pieces for you for class.  It's on page 9 of the Holiday catalog - item #126911 and costs $21.95. RSVP for this class by December 30th please. 

I also have a pdf tutorial available here for just $7.50.  It includes the following:

• Photos of each finished page
• Measurements
• Sketches
• Supply list
• Step-by-step instructions in pdf format

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here are the 20 cards I made with half of a kit:

I added a few coordinating ribbons and sentiment stamps in addition to the kit supplies.  Quick and easy to do.

I do not have a tutorial to make these cards but how I started it to cut two different sheets of patterned paper into 4 X 12" strips. **Remember they are double sides so you now have 4 different patterns. Then you can cut them into 4" and 2" lengths that fit on the card front perfectly.  Add a die-cut adhesive strip or another matching piece of card stock to it and you're ready to add the greeting or card stock sticker. These cards are standard 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" in size. 

 

Last Christmas Stamp a Stack

I'm sad it's my last Christmas Stamp a Stack class this year.  I really love making Christmas cards.  It's such a special time of year and there are just so many choices and ways to jazz them up!  You can never have too much bling at Christmas!  I had a very hard time narrowing my cards down this time.  But I truly love each of them and think you will too.

This is a recreation of one I made last year.  It truly is a striking card.  Sahara Sand with Bravo Burgundy.  This Christmas Lodge stamp set is just beautiful!

And this is one I cased from Pinterest.  It's another card that just works!  Cherry Cobbler with Very Vanilla.  The patterned paper pennants are from the Snow Festival paper pack in the Holiday catalog.

And this pretty card is simply White with Silver accents.  The tree image is one of our single stamps in the main catalog called Star Tree.   Gorgeous isn't it!?

And I had to get one more snowman card in. This cute guy is from the Snow Much Fun stamp set which is just $9.98 for four more days on the Extravaganza sale. 

This color combo is one of my Christmas faves - Red, White and Pool Party with bits of Black to set it all off. I like the ribbon scarf addition.  Of course glitter is a must on snowmen!

We'll make 3 of each card along with stamped envelopes at this class.  So you'll make 12 cards with stamped envelopes.  The cost is $20 pre-paid by November 26th.  I have two sessions available.  One on Wednesday, November 30th at 6 pm and the other on Saturday, Dec. 1st at 10 am.  The Wednesday class is full and the Saturday class has 2 spots open. Sorry for the late notice! Contact me by Monday morning if you'd like to come. 

If you cannot come to my class you can still get the written tutorial for each of my four Stamp a Stacks.  These pdf tutorials will have step by step directions along with cutting measurements, photos and a supply list.  The cost is $3 for each class or a deal of $10 for all 4 months.

Use the drop down arrow to choose just this month or pay for all 4 in advance for a better deal. ***If you order all 4 classes each one will be sent to you at theend of each month before I hold the class.

3rd Christmas Stamp a Stack

The 3rd Stamp a Stack in my series of four is coming up fast!

There are 4 different cards at each class.  You can attend class locally or get the written tutorial (see below).

This first card was really fun to make!  I thought the Styin' Snowfolk set would be hard to use becasue there are all kinds of stamp images to embellish the snowfolk with.  But using the clear mount stamps made this a breeze - honest! 

And this one features the Make a Mitten stamp set and coordinating Mitten builder punch.  Simple but cute!

 

I love this one - so eye-catching but quite simple to make with the Apothecary Accents framelit and the little Merry Mini's stamp set and punch for the little ornaments.  Merry & Type is the greeting stamp set and Be of Good Cheer is the designer paper I used here.

And this last one uses the Ornament Keepsake stamp set with the beautiful Holiday Frame embossing folder. 

We'll make 3 of each card along with stamped envelopes at this class.  So you'll make 12 cards with stamped envelopes.  The cost is $20 pre-paid by October 28th.  I have two sessions available.  One on Tuesday, Oct 30th at 6 pm and the other on Saturday, Nov 3rd at 10 am.  The Tuesday class is full and the Saturday class has 2 spots open. Just bring your own adhesive. Contact me ASAP if you'd like to come.
