Holiday Card Class

Join me for my upcoming card class!!!!  On November 29th at 6:30 at Bayers Pampered Stamper we will be making four cards using two Our Daily Bread stamp sets.




These are great cards to send to friends and family for the Holiday!  The class cost is only $15!!  If you cannot make it, you can still purchase the card kits.  Just contact Melissa at Bayer's Pampered Stamper (for store info see bottom of the blog).
Hope to see you at class!


Demo Night at Bayer's

This past Tuesday I was the demo teacher at Bayer's Pampered Stamper.  I decided to show off some awesome things that can be done with punches, mostly circle and square punches.  Here are some of the cards I made:

 I love this card.  I used a square punch and used a 6X6 matching pack of paper (my favorite kind of patterned paper to have:).  Once I attached the squares to a mat of colored paper I ran them through the Big Shot with an embossing folder.  So easy and equals an awesome card!!

This is my favorite card.  I love making creatures with my punches and this is a super easy creature to make:)  The spider only needs two circle punches of different sizes.  Punch the two circles and you have a spider.  I used coordinating paper (from a 6X6 pack of course:)  I drew the legs and added googly eyes (another favorite of mine!)

To many papercrafters punches are 'old school' when we have such great tools like the Cricut.  But I love my punches and use them all the time!!!  They are actually in my top 5 favorite tools list!  So for those of you that have punches packed away...pull them out and check out all the great things that you can make:)

November Stamp Club

We had a great time at Stamp Club this month.  We made two projects, a card and a scrapbook page.  Both were set for the Holidays. 
 This is the page we made.  I love the tree.  We used the new Festival of Prints Pack from the Holiday SU catalog.  The paper and designs in this pack are my favorite (at least for now!)  We also used the 7/8" cotton ribbon.  It was so easy to stamp on!!!  I used the Border Banter Stamp set on it!  Super fun!


 

We also made a card that holds a gift card.  This purse was made with the same set of design paper as the page and I used the Top Note Die.  I love the Top Note Die! It is my absolute favorite die for the BigShot!

Everybody loved these two projects!

Christmaas Owl

I love special requests.  They can be so challenging and fun!

A friend, and fellow consultant, requested a make a holiday owl for her.  She sells awesome jewelry for a company called Origami Owl, which is why she wanted a fun treat to give customers that incorporated both the owl and the holidays. 

This is the owl I have come up with.  And she loved it!!!  I think my new favorite SU punch is the owl punch.  He is so darn cute!!!!

If you would like a peppermint patty owl, you should check out the great Origami Owl jewelry!!!!
