May Stamp-A-Stack -- Using a patchwork theme

The May Stamp-A-Stack (SAS) will be held on Saturday 21 May from 2.00pm - 5.00pm.  We will be making 8 cards using a patchwork theme.  I have Cased the idea for these cards from Marelle Taylor and found that although they are easy to make, the final product is extremely effective.  I have used the Vintage Vogue stamp set and Designer Series paper to create the patchwork effect.  We will be making the 4 different cards shown here and everyone will go home with 2 cards of each design.  The cost for this SAS is $20.00.  Please contact me if you are interested in joining this class.

My next Stamp-A-Stack (SAS) class will be held on Saturday 16 April from 2.00pm - 5.00pm.  We will be making 8 cards based on the two designs shown here.  Each card is simple but elegant.  The aim of this SAS is to show how you can make great cards in a short time and with a limited amount of gear.  Please come along and join this session and take home 8 useful cards to add to your collection.  Cost of the SAS is $20.00.

Technique Class - Using Vellum

  

At my next technique class we will be looking at different ways to use vellum as an overlay.  I have included some of the cards I have made recently, one placing the vellum over a stamped image (Baroque Motif flourish) and the others running the vellum through the Big Shot.

This class will be held on Saturday 26 February from 2.00pm -5.00pm and there are still some places available.  Cost is $10.00.

If you would like to book in please call me on 6251 4346 or send me an email and I will put your name down.

Birthday Bakery



Here is another stamp set I have been looking forward to trying out.  "Birthday Bakery" is a stamp set you can get free as a hostess gift if you host a party and have sales of over $300.

I have made this card to give to one of my new stamping recruits.  She is also a friend from my calligraphy class but I can't say anymore right now as her birthday party is a big surprise and I would hate to spoil it! 

I have used the new in-colour "Pear Pizazz" as well as "Old Olive" and Daffodil Delight" as the colour themes for this card.  It was fun to make and the options are endless for both the style of card and what you can do with this particular set of cakes.

Below is a card I made using the same stamp but only inking half at a time (with a "Basic Black" marker) and positioning the stamp the second time with my Stamp-a-ma-Jig.  This time I included some "Night of Navy" trim.
