Here are the projects we made at the July Stamp Class featuring the Direct To Paper and Kissing techniques.  All Stamp Club members that were unable to attend class will get an instruction sheet with details on how to make these cards.  Don’t miss the next Stamp Class - July 22 at 1pm.  An evening session may be added if there is interest.

I love this set from the summer mincatalog.  It looks good with so many different colors and techniques.

Here we have Crumb Cake and Early Expresso.  Hmm, sounds like a breakfast card.

Add in some Cherry Cobbler for dessert:)

I wasn’t sure about this summer minicatalog set at first - but now I love it.  Especially with the new colors.  Early Expresso and Daffodil Delight - classy!

Here’s some photos I didn’t post yet.  Tropical Party is definitely a keeper.  The new Builder wheels are pretty cool too.  I have a triple cartridge, but haven’t committed yet to the 3 colors I want!  The large scallop is the outside part from the new Homemade stamp.  I had it laying around and it made a perfect accent along with a star.

You are invited to attend!  Thursday July 22, my house, sessions at 1pm and 6:30pm.  Make a couple of cards and try some fun techniques.  Cost $5, free for club members.  Please RSVP by the day before so I can prepare.   You still have time to sign up for stamp club this year - get what you want on a budget and get hostess benefits too!  Contact me this week for details.

Here’s a sneak peak of the 2 projects - we will be using the “kissing” technique with the butterfly card and the “direct to paper” technique with the beach card.

If you are still wavering about whether or not to take advantage of the demo rejoin special, or the new demo kit, just look at this.  THis item is available for purchase to demos at Convention this month and then afterwards for we demos that were unable to attend.

Introducing . . . the Greenhouse Gala Craft Tote!

Inspired by the new Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper featured in the new 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog (p. 173), this tote is a must-have!

Here are a few of its many features:

• This tote fits 12″ x 12″ products as well as 12″ x 12″ Craft Keepers, and it even holds your Paper Cutter!
• A back-zipper pocket holds seven Classic Stampin’ Pads. 
• Open outside pockets hold our Extra-Large punches.
• A detachable shoulder strap makes it easy to carry your tote.

Contact me for more information.  The rejoin special paperwork must be received by the end of this month.

We finished off Stamp Club with a fun family picnic.  Here are the kids outside, and the MOMS inside with our stack of new catalogs.  The make and take we did is very simple - a cover for a pack of M&Ms.  An 8 1/2″ by 2 3/4″ piece of cardstock is folded in half and tied with celery ribbon.  Stamps used are from the summer mini:  Elements of Style, Rough Type and Tropical Party.  The m’s are stamped with white craft ink on chocolate chip and celery cardstock and punched out with the 1/2 inch punch.

 ***I’m in the process of setting up hostess months for the club for this new catalog year if you would like to join us.  Contact me soon if you have not already!!!  $15 orders are due on the 20th of each month for 10 months, get the hostess benefits for one of the months!

This set from the current mini is perfect for summer projects.  Stamp class is next week July 22, sessions at 1 and 6:30. I’ll post more details soon.

I may have CASED this layout (foggy memory).
