Last weekend was the 3rd Christmas/ Holiday Card Stamp Camp for this year. We made 3 of each of these cards:

Contemporary ‘flip/flop’ card in Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay with silver ribbon and glimmer paper. The middle card in classic red and green, showcased the new ‘ Expressions Framelits’ and ‘Silver Foil’ card stock. The final card in Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive ~ traditional colors with a contemporary design.

And here is the some of the band of happy stampers:

Here is a video on how to use the fantastic Expression thinlits:

Beautiful Stampin’ Up Colors

While working on a design for upcoming Scrap Camps, I was looking thru all the wonderful colors that are available from Stampin’ Up. I started working with some of the Brights family and then my eye was drawn to the Crushed Curry in the Regals family. Hmmmmmm, now I have to choose!!! I will share the result when I have a made my choices.

Leave me a comment on which of the colors are your favorites – I would love to know!

Have a happy Sunday 🙂

Neighbourhood Card Craftin’

October 16, 2013Leave a comment

At the beginning of the summer one of our new neighbours started a neighbourhood group on a web-site called Nextdoor.com. We joined straightaway and went along to a meet and greet. As always, in get-togethers, we ask ‘what do you do?’ There was a lot of interest when I spoke of my Stampin’ Up and card crafting classes. So much so that we pulled together a small group of ladies who meet at my house once per month to make cards, home decor and 3D items. Our October get-together is on the 30th and we will be making this cute little banner which will fit perfectly on a desk or mantel shelf. Amazing what some ink, stamps and some card stock will do to bring folks together!

The background uses Cajun Craze and Sweater Weather DSP
