Sassy Stampers - Christmas in July 2023

Sassy Stampers has it's annual Christmas in July camp next month. There are not many options for Christmas cards available right now, so I improvised! Here is the card the campers will make at my table:

The card base and first layer use Shaded Spruce. The embossed layer is Cherry Cobbler and it is embossed using one of the trio of embossing folders available in Online Exclusives. There is a layer of Gold Foil and a layer of Basic White that is stamped with Shaded Spruce ink using various sentiments and the leaf cluster from Layering Leaves. The layered panels were cut using the Nested Essentials dies and some Brushed Metallic dots were added as embellishment. I used some Metallic Edge Ribbon between the bottom layer and the top two layers.  

Thanks for visiting and I hope you are all staying healthy and safe!

Crazy Card Chics - June 2023

Well we had our super fun live event last month and now we are back to card kits by mail until September. Here is my card that the campers got in their kits this month:

I used up some very old designer series paper called Something Borrowed. I don't know which catalog it came from, but it is lovely! The card base is the retired Sahara Sand and I got to use my computer skills for the sentiments, front graphic and inside graphic. The front panel was cut using the Split Card Textures dies and the sentiment was cut using the Stylish Shapes dies. The dsp was adhered to the back of the die cut panel and then mounted on the card front. The sentiment was attached to the card front using dimensionals. This is a super easy card for the campers to put together and all that will be required is an inside sentiment that expresses whatever they chose for the outside. I embellished using Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

New Catalog Swap - May - April 2023-2024

Each time we have a new catalog issued, Cathy Hansen organizes a catalog swap. Participation in these swaps is great fun and you get to see some of the new products in use by some very talented demonstrators. Here is my card for this swap:

It is a gatefold card that uses papers from the Fresh as a Daisy pack. The card base is Crushed Curry with an embossed panel of Garden Green embossed using the Basket Weave embossing folder. The panels were created using the Countryside Corners dies with the main panel strategically cut so that the folds did not get cut. The dsp panel was cut in half and mounted on the two side panels. The sentiment is from the new Layering Leaves stamp set and the inside sentiment is from the Framed Florets stamp set. The outside circles were cut using the Stylish Shapes dies and then decorated using the Brushed Brass Butterflies. Very fun card to make!

Stamp Camp North - June 10, 2023

This month's camp was once again a really fun one. I really enjoyed spending time with the campers and with my fellow demonstrators. It's a great group! Here is the card the campers made at my table:

I used up some Wonderful World designer series paper from last year. The individual flowers were punched from one of the sheets and the leafy background is from that same pack. The campers sponged some Mossy Meadow ink on the ovals to make them pop a bit from the background. They were punched using the retired large oval punch. The card base is Mossy Meadow as is the large banner under the sentiment. I die cut the computer generated sentiments using the smaller banner die in the Stylish Shapes die set.

Sassy Stampers - June 2023

Well here it is the 16th of June and I haven't posted yet - shame on me! I have tons of stuff to share though, so here we go.

Sassy Stampers Stamp Camp was on June 3 and we had so much fun. Here is the card the campers made at my table:

I am really loving the Countryside Inn designer series paper.  I used it for the card I posted here and couldn't resist using some of the other patterns in the pack. The card base is Boho Blue, one of the new 2023-2025 group of in-color papers. I also used the new Nested Essentials dies and am really loving them. There is Night of Navy and Misty Moonlight card stock here too. The sentiment is from Irresistible Blooms and the campers had a choice of different sentiments to use.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you are all staying healthy and safe!
