Sail Away Again - last one!

Our final card from our class. It is a pocket fold card. Something different than the plain old half fold!

Until next time, happy stamping!

Sail Away Again...

As you can tell, I'm not good at creating titles! lol

Another card from our Sail Away class...

This card was inspired by Ronda Wade.

Until next time, happy stamping!

Sail Away Again!

Here is another card from our Sail Away class on Tuesday. This one is a gatefold card.

I dyed the baker's twine using water and re-inkers. Very cool way to get whatever colour you want!

Until next time, happy stamping!

My Baby is 15? Since when?

Today my baby and only daughter is 15. Holy cow I'm old! lol

We woke her up early (before leaving for work) to give her THE birthday gift of a lifetime, well her lifetime anyway! Tickets to see Taylor Swift! She was so excited she didn't mind being woken up early. I was excited to finally tell her we were going. I bought the tickets way before Christmas but wanted to wait until her birthday to give them to her.

I made her this card and stuck the 'tickets' inside with a note from her dad and I.

 She loves to sing so this card focused on musical things. The big background stamp is not SU, but the guitar, heart and greeting are.

Here is a closeup of the guitar and heart.

So if you are at the Taylor Swift concert on July 15 in Toronto, look for us! lol

Until next time, happy stamping!

Sail Away!

I held a class where participants each received the stamp 'Sail Away' and a package of white Bakers Twine, both from the Summer Mini. Here is one of the four cards we made

This one is for the ladies! They sail too, right?

Stay tuned for more sailing!

Until next time happy stamping!

Finishing those unfinished projects!

Today was a holiday in Canada and it was yucky weather outside, so I sat down and finished all those 'unfinished' projects I had laying around.

First up is this monogrammed DVD case with cards. We did this at my March stamp camp and I never did finish the one I was demonstrating with. These were inspired by Rhonda Wade.


This is the inside with the cards. I made this for my big sister. I hope she likes it.

 Then these bookmarks and holders. We made this last year and I never finished my demo one. Not much to look at on the outside...

But the inside is fab!


Here is a close up of the bookmark. Each holder has four bookmarks. Inspiration for this project was from Andrea Walford. I think I will give these to my two youngest nieces.

I also finished up some cards which I have already shown.


I have a class tomorrow using the Sail Away stamp from the Summer mini, so stay tuned!

Until next time, happy stamping!

Step It Up A Notch Class

On May 10th my class was Step It Up A Notch...a class that involves a bit more to the cards than usual. Originally I wasn't happy with the designs but the girls really liked them so yay.

Until next time, happy stamping!

Graduation/Father's Day Card

At my workshop on May 1, we also made this card. My original was a father's day one, but I also made it into a graduation card.

Until next time, happy stamping!

Bargello Technique

At Tuesday's Technique class, we learned the Bargello technique and made this card:

Birthday Invitations

My daughter's 15th birthday is coming up so she asked if I would help her make her invitations. She came up with the idea and I helped her execute it.

Here is a side view

Here is the top view. The designer paper is not Stampin Up but it goes well with the Wild Wasabi cardstock!

Each girl's name was put on the word window punch out





The inside! Isn't it cute? She found the owl on a card I swapped with Dina and wanted it on her invites. So we re-created it and put it in the bottom of the explosion box. She is so creative!

Until next time, happy stamping!

Stamp Into Spring Class - Day 2!

Beautiful Birthday Cards!

My birthday was on the 25th and my customers (who are my great friends) each made me a card. I will share them over the next few days. Be warned, they are not all SU only but they are all beautiful!

This one is from Kim M. She used Crystal Effects on the turquoise parts of the butterfly. Thanks Kim!

Until next time, happy stamping!
