Sassy Stampers - August 2025

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

The card base is Night of Navy (SU) with a layer of Fresh Freesia (SU) and then a layer of white embossed with the Macrame (retired) embossing folder. The two rectangles are Enchnted Evening (PTI) with rectangles of designer series paper from the Floral Impressions pack. The sentiment is Night of Navy (SU) ink on a label cut using the Labeled with Love dies. I cut a label from dark colored paper and then scanned it and used a larger version cut using my Scan n' Cut machine. The campers will be able to choose both computer generated sentiments or stamped sentiments on the front and computer generated choices for the inside.

August is our 15th Birthday Celebration! We have managed to survive four different locations and lots of changes in personnel, but we are still going strong! Here are some more details on this very fun camp:

I would encourage everyone to come and celebrate with us!

Downline Meeting - July 2025

Tonight is our downline meeting with the wonderfully talented Terry Kaspari. I volunteered last month to do the make & take at tonight's meeting. Here is my contribution:

We were tasked with making a masculine card and I thought this card would be perfect! The card base is Early Espresso. First layer is Basic Beige with a layer of embossed Crumb Cake using the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder. Then a rectangle of Pecan Pie placed across the width of the card, a rectangle of paper cut from the Woven Textures designer series paper (dsp) placed lengthwise and then a circle die cut from that same pack pf dsp using one of the circle dies from the Stylish Shapes die set. The sentiment is stamped with Early Espresso ink on a die cut from the Stylish Shapes die set. The inside of the card has a layer of Crumb Cake and a Very Vanilla layer that was created using my graphics program. I hope the gals enjoy making this card!

Longmont Senior Center - July 2025

We are having class one week earlier this month as the center is closed for cleaning for three weeks. These are the cards from me that the stampers will be making:

The top card is a rectangle of Amethyst Allure (Papertrey) with rectangles of Fresh Freesia (Stampin' Up!) that have been embossed using the Eyelet 3D (Stampin' Up!) embossing folder on each end. The rectangle that makes up the center of the card is Enchanted Evening (Papertrey) with a rectangle of Floral Impressions designer series paper. There is a sheet of white paper on the inside for a message.

The second card has a card base of Hammermill 100# white with a layer of Enchanted Evening (Papertrey) and an embossed layer of Hammermill 80# white that has been embossed using the Joined Together 3D embossing folder from Stampin' Up!  The rectangles adorning the front are made using Enchanted Evening and a floral 6x6 paper from Stampin' Up! I added a sentiment cut using the Stitched Rectangles dies from Stampin' Up! with a computer generated sentiment in Night of Navy.

We always have a good time at these classes. Doesn't matter if you are a beginner or an expert, these classes are for you! We make a total of four cards (two from me and two from Cathy Hansen). Normally we meet on the third Monday of each month (except December) and January and February it is the fourth week as the Senior Center is closed for holidays those months. Our November class is entirely devoted to Christmas and the attendees always enjoy themselves!

Stamp Camp North - July 2025

Stamp Camp North is a really fun camp! We gather together at the Westminster Elks Lodge for a fun day of crafting and sharing. Here is the card the campers will be making at my table:

The card base is Garden Green with die cut layers of Peach Pie and Floral Impressions cut with the Perennial Postage dies. Then I layered the sentiment on a Garden Green die cut. The sentiment is in Peach Pie and is die cut with the Perennial Postage dies. I added some 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls.

Sassy Stampers - Christmas in July 2025

I am back from my crafting retreat and it was amazing! The ladies were wonderful and so, so talented! Here is the card the campers will be making at my table:

The card base is Basic White with a layer of Garden Green and then a layer of dsp from the Winter Meadow dsp pack. I used a 1" strip of Real Red cardstock and then centered the layered label on it. I added a couple of Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems and called it a card! The label uses the Handmade Tag label punch and the background label was cut using my Scan 'n Cut machine. The label was created in my graphics program from the stamps in the Handmade Wishes stamp set. The campers will have a choice of  "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays." The inside was computer generated.

Here is some more information about this fun camp:

Get a head start on your Christmas/Holiday cards this year. This camp is always a lot of fun!
