Beautiful Blizzard in August

     I spent the morning playing with the first of many of the new Bundles from the 2018 Holiday Catalog! I was so excited when I received my box of goodies last week, but had to wait till the weekend before I could play! Of the 14 bundles in the new catalog... I bought 6 of them right off the hop PLUS a bunch of other goodies... My order was a doozie 😉
     I was asked to do a workshop in a near by community and this will be the first one I have ever done so maybe it will become a regular thing! I was told the ladies that will be attending are new to Stampin' Up! but have stamped and scrapbooked before, they meet once a month to scrapbook so I'm sure they aren't at a beginner level. Although, at a beginner level, I don't think this card would be too difficult for them to do.
     I have to admit that the idea was from another demo's card, mine looks nothing like hers but the idea still came from her so I want to give her the credit 😉  Amy Koenders is her name and you can see her card on Pinterest. As soon as I seen it, I had this idea for mine. I guess it also includes Kelly Acherson's Vellum Overlay Technique that can be found on Pinterest as well so they both deserve credit! So that is where the idea for my card came from... Love Pinterest for that!!!
     It is really a very simple card! You can see what the dimensions are just by looking, only 3 layers and 2 of them are exactly the same!
  • Night of Navy card base is cut to 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" so half a sheet of CS and then scored at 5 1/2"
  • A Whisper White and Vellum piece each cut at 4" x 5 1/4"
  • Another Whisper White piece for the sentiment cut to 1" x 3 1/4" 
     You can do whatever colors you want but for me Snowflakes and winter is blue's with some glimmer. I really like the colors I chose, they look nice together! I stamped on the Whisper White piece and put the sentiment piece and the snowflakes on the vellum piece. To stick the vellum down I just used a glue dot under something so they aren't seen. Then to add a little more glimmer, I put some rhinestones in the middle of the snowflakes.

Fancy Fold Card

I'm not sure what to call this card as the one I found wasn't in English! I was surfing on Pinterest one day and found an amazing card!! Of coarse I re-pinned it for later cause I had to give it a try myself. The only problem is, its in another language and the measurements are in cm instead of inches. I really wanted to try the card so I printed out her template and tried to convert cm to inches. I made a card with my dimensions and I am fairly pleased with it.   I tried to go fairly simple on the front as the inside is a little bulky. I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the inspiration on for front of the card.  Sketch 319     For the inside I pretty much used her layout but just used different paper.  I am in the Holiday spirit so really wanted it to be a Christmas card.  I haven't used the specialty paper in the Winter Frost Specialty DSP yet so thought it would work perfectly.   She had a template designed, but of coa...

June's Door Prize

I am really excited for this months Card Club because it will be the first time doing it at my house. I cleaned up an end of my basement and we are going to do it there. It will be so much easier doing it at home, I tend to forget things and even thought it was only next door. It was a royal pain in the you know what to go get what I forgot.  I hope it isn't to crowed down there but I guess we will see! ANYWAYS I don't have the cards yet but I have the Door Prize all done! Wallet Style Smash Book I had found a video on Youtube on how this amazing project was done!  I like to have printable instructions so I used the measurements she had for the main wallet and I added the measurements I used for the tags in the wallet and used my pictures. I will add my instructions and hopefully you can print them for yourselves.
