I hope everyone had a hapy 4th! And thanks to everyone who came to my June workshop last weekend. I had a great turnout and it was a lot of fun. A lot of stuff is happening in the Stampin' Up! world. The new catalogs went into effect on Wednesday. Mine finally arrived on Thursday, so if you want one, give me a call and I'll make arrangements to get it to you. The cost is $10, or you can get one FREE if you host a workshop!
In Colors -- I'm really loving the new In Colors this time. Check out the picture to the left. They have markers this year, too -- woo-hoo!! I haven't really played with them yet, but hope to do that this week to get ready for my next 10 card workshop on July 24 and 25.
Summer Fun Deal of the Week -- Starting with the new catalog, Stampin' Up! is offering a product deal of the week. Each week on Monday, a new deal will be announced.
Click here to go the Stampin' Up! promotions page to see what the deal this week is. Send me an e-mail or call me and I will place an order on Friday for the deal.
Here is one of the cards from my June workshop. It was inspired by a card I found on Splitcoaststampers. The background is the polka dot background stamp,
heat embossed using Whisper White craft ink and detail white embossing powder. The stars are punched in the white and then layered on the red circles. The way to do this is to punch the star out first and then center the star in the 1 1/4" circle punch and punch the circle. (If you punch the circle first, you can't put it in the star punch!) Then punch 1 3/8" circles out of Real Red cardstock and layer them. The "celebrate" stamp is from a retired set called All About U and the star stamps are from an old shape set (I can't remember the name). I always love 4th of July cards!
I still have some kits left from the June workshop if anyone wants them. I'm going to start today on cards for the workshop at the end of July. In the meantime, I am going to try to post the rest of the cards from June this week. I guess I better get busy! See ya!
uty. The colors are Blush Blossom, Cameo Coral and Old Olive. I used a background stamp on the olive (I think it's called Sandpaper). The I random-stamped the leaves in Old Olive and the flowers in Cameo Coral on the scalloped circles. The scalloped circles were cut using my Cuttlebug and Nestabilities. Then I stamped the butterfly in Cameo Coral on Blush Blossom and cut it out, which is not my favorite thing to do, but sometimes you just have to! The ticket corner punch and a little sponging on all of the edges and it finally all came together! Hope you like it.
