Flowerbug's Inkspot

'Let's Get Messy' Technique card class is next week!

It's been fun to bring back my Technique classes once again.  The 4 month series is called 'Let's Get Messy' because we're playing with ink, creating backgrounds and some slightly 'messy' techniques. 

Here are the cards for August's class on the 28th.  

Aren't they pretty?!  IF I do say so myself that is!  I love the pretty and colorful backgrounds.  If you've followed me for awhile you know I am in love with colors.  It's one of the reason's I continue to love what I do; colors make me happy!  Stampin' Up! has the absolute BEST in coordinating colors!  

If you want to attend the local class please RSVP by this Thursday, August 22nd.  Class is at 6 pm on the 28th.  Class fee is $15 but you can get it FREE with a $30 order placed that night. 

This tutorial is not available quite yet but it will be ready next month.  I do have my June and July Technique class tutorials ready now though.  You can check them out here on my Tutorial Shop.

Celebrating in Salt Lake City

Here are more photos from our recent trip to the Stampin' Up! home office for my celebration.  Shelli posted about it on her blog here.  

This next photo doesn't show how nervous I was when giving my speech to the 'over 200' Stampin' Up! employees!  My husband said I practiced it a few dozen times!  It actually went well. I will you could see them!  

It was super special to spend time stamping with Sara and Shelli.  

We made a project from the upcoming Holiday catalog!  It's so cute!  Wish I could show you.....!  I will in a month or two. 

~~~

Today we're off for another adventure to Rome for a few days and then on the Greek Island cruise for this years Stampin' Up! incentive trip. 

Thank you all for your support and encouragement!!!!  YOU make stamping a pleasure!

Butterfly Gala cards & Double Pocket Treat pouch video

Here are the projects I shared on this week's Facebook Live; a set of Butterfly Gala In Color Window cards and a Double Pocket Treat Pouch! 

These cards were so fun AND fast to make! I love the window effect you can get by punching just once in the White stitched rectangle with the Butterfly Duet punch!

Card Measurements:

• White stitched rectangle 2 1/2" X 4"
• Designer Paper 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
• Black 3 3/4" X 5" 

Did you know these beautiful In Colors are retiring in less than 2 weeks!  Each year many people miss out on getting the ink refill or more card stock or designer paper from the Retiring In Colors.  The best plan is to order them before the list comes out mid April.  Here's the link to these In Color products. 

These cute pouches are made from a 6" X 6" piece of designer paper.  I used Brights Designer Paper in this case.

Did you know we have a 6 X 6" pack of patterned paper for EACH of our color families; including the In Colors?  I wonder if they'll stick around another year or if they'll retire them?

They fit a tea bag or a piece of chocolate.  I used the Butterfly Gala stamp set and the Butterfly Duet punch.  These items are back in stock but I noticed they are already on the low inventory list!  This Butterfly Duet punch is selling like hot cakes!  

Watch my Facebook Live video to see how these projects are made plus catch the monthly news & specials.

Tropical Chic 5 Sheet Wonder class & full tutorial

I cannot believe I haven't shared this upcoming class yet! Time goes soooo fast!  

This Tuesday, September 25th we're making these striking cards using my exclusive 5 sheet wonder templates and the Tropical Chic bundle; seen here.  

These templates make it super simple to create cards!  There's no measuring AT ALL!  Simply print the templates onto your 5 sheets of card stock and cut on the dotted lines and use the reverse side. You'll stamp the white card stock with whatever stamp set and inks you choose.  The sky is the limit on the types & colors of cards you can create!  

Each template includes pre-measured pieces with corresponding numbers on them.  So once they're cut you layer the pieces for each card in piles.  Then add full card bases and assemble!  That's it!  

Well there is one more step; adding the greetings and embellishments....  But that's the fun part!

If you live near me in Minot, ND I hope you can attend this class.  You'll love it! RSVP by Monday, September 24th.  It's $20 and includes the full tutorial & templates.  

If you cannot be here but still want the templates and full tutorial click here at my Tutorial Shop to purchase it.  It is automatically emailed to you upon payment.
