Charming Day class

While I am in the posting regiment right now I figured I'd put out the cards from my September card class.  The class is in a couple of days but the cards are ready, I just have to cut the kits for the ladies.  I love that I can have everything prepped and they just get to enjoy the assembly process.  Watching them brings a smile to my face.  I hope they enjoy their time in my studio as much as I enjoy them coming.  This month everything revolved around the Charming Day stamp set / dies, and coordinating paper.

Fall is in the air this week

Hi there!!  Welcome back to my blog posts.  I love being able to connect with you here, I wish it had the option the send the updates or let you get notified when I do but I don't know how if it does.  So, if you subscribe to my newsletter from here on the blog, you can keep up on what I have going on.  I inform you on my classes and Stampin' UP! specials as well as new products and things I've been working on.  I don't send out much more than weekly on Wednesdays so don't be afraid I'll spam your inbox.
This photo today is from my Wednesday night live.  I used some new products to create a warm toned fall themed card that you'll enjoy making.  You can see the video on YouTube here.

Paper Pumpkin for August is done!

I was finally able to sit down and complete the Farmhouse Florals kit, create the videos and get them loaded.  Now, it's time to let you know they are there.  You can see the videos on YouTube in my Paper Pumpkin Alternates playlist or on my Facebook page in the album I created.  You can go here for the Facebook album, or here for the YouTube playlist.  Be sure and check out a Paper Pumpkin subscription.  You can order one from this site even!  They have gotten so much better and it comes with everything you need to complete the projects as well as the best part, it just shows up every month!!  If you have any questions please let me know, I'd love to help.

Weekly live and Christmas use the same layout

I was gone last week and also on the 25th so this week I decided to do a weekly live and also use that same layout and show a Christmas card so we didn't miss a month.  I just love the new paper that was used on the Christmas card.  It will be available next week.  You have to be sure and get a pack.  I have a link to the video.  I got cut off on my FB live so I  joined the two lives together to create what you see on YouTube.  You can forward right to the cardmaking if you want.  The beginning I normally chat about the current specials.  I usually mention my newsletter too.  I send that out on Wednesday afternoons.  I put the specials in there, my classes and other information I think you might be interested in.  You can sign up for my newsletter right here on my blog page.  It's just a couple of quick steps and you'll find my newsletter in your inbox on Wednesday.  I do send class info emails too but that's about it.  Not too much so I don't fill up your inbox.  You can see the video on YouTube here.

Masculine Birthday Cards tonight

I need some masculine birthday cards coming up so I thought tonights' live would be a good time to make what I had in mind for them.  The one is a bit more colorful and maybe kid-like but it would still work.  My friend commented that it looked like Miami Dolphins colors so you could easily use your recipients favorite sports team colors!!  They were both pretty quick and easy to duplicate if you needed to build up your stash.  You can see the YouTube video here.

faux suede technique

I showed how to do the faux suede technique last week on my Wednesday live.  I was thrilled too see how many people had not done this before.  It is such a cool way to add texture to the paper and a great add for a masculine touch if you need it.  You can see the video on YouTube

July Paper Pumpkin is done and loaded.

I forgot to let you know that the Paper Pumpkin alternates for the Sweeter With You kit are out there.  I need to make a better list of which steps I've done and what still needs to be done.  This can get really confusing in a hurry, especially when I am creatiing a lot of things in a short amount of time.

The July kit was a cut strawberry kit.  The PP Fan Club on FB has some great alternates.  I usually put mine on there too so maybe it will inspire others.  Here is the link to see the videos in the album I created for this kit on my FB page.  If you prefer, you can view them on my YouTube channel instead.  I have a playlist for the alternates, the link should take you to itt.
