Sassy Stampers - March 2025

Here is the card the campers will be making at my table on Saturday:

The stamp set is a freebie called Friendly Seagulls and can be earned through today with a $60 order from Stampin' Up! It's a great set and I originally had planned to use Beautiful Bokeh (a great 6x6 dsp pack), but I didn't have enough. As an alternative I used the backside of one of the patterns from the Bloom Impressions designer series paper pack (also a freebie if you act fast). The card base is Basic White with a layer of Basic Black and then the dsp. The seagulls were stamped on die cut pieces of Basic White using the Perennial Postage dies and colored using colored pencils and a blender pen. They were then mounted on a strip of Basic Black which was attached to the card front using dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped directly onto the dsp. I added a few Low Profile Dots and called it done! This card is a bit out of my wheelhouse, but I think it is successful! I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest. The inside sentiments are from a Paper Pumpkin kit and include Happy Birthday, Thank You, Get Well Soon and Lots of Love as well as the possibility of just writing something yourself!

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

Stamp Camp North - February 2025

Saturday, February 8 was Stamp Camp North! Here is what the campers made at my table:

Card base is Calypso Coral with a layer of Granny Apple Green. I used the designer series paper called Mixed Media Florals (love, love, love it) along with the stamp set Mixed Florals. Sentiment is computer generated then punched out with the Oval Punch and mounted on a Granny Apple Green punched Scalloped Oval. This is the same stamp I used for my Sassy Stampers card here, but I made it smaller and cut it using the Scalloped Contours dies.

Sassy Stampers - February 2025

Saturday was our Sassy Stampers stamp camp and the campers made this at my table:

The card base is Calypso Coral with a piece of Granny Apple Green and a layer die cut with the Scalloped Contours dies. The image is from a new stamp set called Mixed Florals and I really love it! I colored the image using Stampin' Blends and topped it off with ovals punched in Basic White and Granny Apple Green. I also added one of the Adhesive Backed Heart Sequins. 

The theme this month was "Sharing the Love" and we had a wonderful time! There are a total of 10 projects that the campers made and all were really excellent! If you would like to get on the mailing list for this camp, please email me or leave me a comment and I will make sure you get on the list. Next camp is on March 1, 2025 and the theme is "Mixing it Up" and it should be great fun!

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

Longmont Senior Center - January 2025

I teach a class every month at the Longmont Senior Center. The ladies that attend are so much fun! We always have a really great time creating. This month we made the card that I used for Sassy Stampers and  one other:

The class is always in need of birthday cards. This card uses the "Happy Birthday" in the Wanted to Say dies from Stampin' Up! along with a Heartfelt Hexagon punched piece. I am loving the in-color Shy Shamrock these days and what's not to love about the Bloom Impressions designer series paper (free with a $60 purchase.)
