One Sheet Wonder update

Thank you to those who have already ordered my One Sheet Wonder class via e-mail!  I hope you've enjoyed using my templates.

Some of you contacted me & say you've never received it.  Please let me know if that is the case!  I believe my e-mailed file may be going to your junk mail/spam folders for some reason.  So either check those, or e-mail me to re-send it.

 

This is the easy way to make 10 cards - no measuring - just cut on the printed lines!

Cost is $7.50 for all 4 templates, sketches, photos & instructions.

Class is FREE with a $50 order; either placed online or through me directly.  Just be sure to let me know you'd like it sent to you.  

One Sheet Wonder!!!!

A few years ago, my husband & I created a fabulous One Sheet Wonder unlike anything we'd ever seen before.  Consider how easy it would be to make 10 beautiful, multi-layered cards by just stamping one whole sheet & cutting it into pre-measured pieces on the dotted lines!  Then you'll just cut the colored layers on the printed lines too!  No measuring or guessing layer sizes - just stamp, cut out & adhere to your folded cards. 

But we've improved upon it even more by adding card sketches to the 4 templates & short & easy directions.  You can purchase the complete class below & it will be sent to you via e-mail.

Here's my newest bunch done with Serene Snowflakes from the Holiday Mini catalog.   

I am offering a class on November 4th & 7th.   Cost is $15 to attend.  There are two classes on Wednesday, Nov 4th - 4 pm or 6:30 pm.  Saturday's class is at 10 am. 

Each person who attends will get the templates, sketches & directions sent to them via e-mail.  RSVP by Oct 30th. 

Here's one using Autumn Splendor, also from the Holiday Mini Catalog.

Colors are Dusty Durango, Chocolate Chip & Taken with Teal. 

Here are a few comments from people who have used my OSW.

Technique's for May

I'm especially pleased with this month's techniques - I think I even surprised myself with how gorgeous these are!  I usually have a clear favorite, but not this time! They all seem to be ' WOW's'.  

Sponged Landscapes, Re-inker Spread & Vitalized Vellum are the three I've chosen for May.  

Class is held locally on May 26th & 27th - usually the last Tues & Wedn of each month.  Tuesday it's at either 4 pm or 6:30 pm & Wednesday at 6:30 pm.  I feature 3 techniques & we make a greeting card for & a technique card for each. 

I'm calling this one 'Sponged Landscapes'. 
Think of the beautiful horizons you could do with this technique! 
It's fast & easy too. 
The card on the right was cased from Nitestamper on Splitcoaststampers here.

Next is the now famous 'Re-inker Spread' technique.  Most people are using this fabulous stamp set 'Fifth Avenue Floral' like I did.  But we're finding it works beautifully on many of the open, lined floral images. 

For this technique you need Shimmer paper, a few colors of Classic ink refills & an aqua-painter.  That's it!  

Last but not least is Vitalized Vellum - a technique we learned about at last years convention.
It's soft & pretty look - you just need Classic ink in a few colors & Vellum.  I prefer our card stock vellum for just about everything! 

Stamps - Great Friend, God's Beauty

Max of 10 attendees at each session with a pre-payment of just $10.

*****If you do not live locally & want to do the techniques at home, check out my classes by mail option here.  You get the templates, directions, photos & supply list sent to you for just $4 each month.

I'm Finished!

........scrap-booking our Wedding album, I mean.  Well almost - I still have to add some journaling here & there, which I tend to put off until later of course! 
It's been a long time since we were married.  How long - you ask???  Well we have a married daughter, sooooo it's been awhile!  But I've only been scrapping/stamping for about 6 years now, so not that long, right? 
Here's the first page.

I used my Scrapbook in a Day Plan for all 20 pages - I was done in about 5 hours or so - start to finish.  Super quick & easy.  For more info on my awesome Plan, check it out here.

I used the Simply Scrappin' kit 'Sweet Nothings'.  Love the colors!  Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip & Pink Pirouette. 

You could make anything beautiful with this kit!  It even matched my wedding colors well.

Did you notice the vellum scalloped border around the oval photo?  It's easy to do.

Just cut strips of vellum about 1" wide - patterned paper would also work well.  Use your scalloped border punch on the length of the strip.  Then run it through your crimper.  Add sticky strip - a very strong adhesive tape - to the back of your curved item you're bordering & press the crimped, scalloped strip onto the tape. 

Here are half of my 20 pages.
