Feeling Sentimental

The card featured today uses the set Feeling Sentimental (item 129627) from the Sale-a-bration promotion that Stampin Up has on till March 22nd. With every $60 purchase you can earn an item free from the Sale-a-bration brochure. 

The measurements on this card are 6 1/2 x 61/2 and folded in half give you this lovely dimension. I used the Oh Hello set (item 130733) from the Spring Catalogue and used my Real Red and Basic Black marker on the greeting. I love how it turned out don't you?

Sweet Threads Simply Sent Kit

Stampin Up has come out with some very cute kits in the Spring Catalogue and this is one Sweet Threads (item 126924) is one of my favourite. I was surprised how fast it was to cross stitch the little samplers on the front of each card. If cross stitching is not your thing then simply take a marker and make little marks as if you were cross stitching. The card will still look fabulous. The kit includes 8 cards and envelopes all the die cut pieces to make cross stitching it a breeze as well as needle and the floss needed to finish your project. What are you waiting for? Order yours today.

Resist Technique

Today is another stormy day in Mid Western Ontario, we had to cancel the class planned for last night but I don't mind as long as everyone stays safe. Today's post was a card brought to a Team Meeting by my friend Bonnie. She showed us this card and told us about a wax paper resist technique. I love the way the background turned out and I tried two different colours of inks to see the different types of contrast. The stamp set I used is called Blooming with Kindness (item 126420). I will be offering this technique in an upcoming class so watch out for it.

Frosty Day

Yesterday was a very clear and Frosty day in our part of Ontario. My husband and I go for a walk every morning and without a doubt this was the most spectacular day of the winter. Check out these photo's from the trees and foliage from our front yard. What was it like in your neck of the woods?

Vintage Frame Sampler

Vintage Sampler Frame

This week I was inspired by all of the Sampler Frames I have seen on-line and decided to make a version of my own. As you can see I used several punches and small stamps to complete the project.

If you live in the Mount Forest area you are welcome to sign up for this class. Contact me for details.

Field Flowers

Recently I heard someone say that it is just as important to stamp the envelope as it is to do the card. I thought about that statement and have decided to do just that when sending out my cards. Pictured here you can see the card stamped with the set Field Flowers and then in the background my envelope is stamped using the stamp set Flowering Flourishes. The next time you stamp why not try to do your envelope too.

Twist Card

I have seen several samples using this design just lately and finally set out to make one myself. I found it to be very easy once you know how:) If you would like to learn how to do this card I am having a class here at my studio on Tuesday Feb 19 and also at the Hanover Public Library Wednesday Feb 20. The cost is $15 for either class. Contact me today to sign up.
