July Card Class 2022 - 1st Card Every July I hold a Christmas in July class.  The class consists of four different Christmas cards.  If you purchase $50 or more from me, you will receive the whole kit of 4 cards plus a bonus card and a PDF the recipes of each card. If anyone is like me, I send out tons of Christmas cards (around 100) and need to start preparing early so this is a perfect time.   Our new Mini catalog came out and it is filled with fun holiday cards and ideas.  I chose the Lights Aglow Suite because it offers so many opportunities for designs and creativity.  There is texture and beautiful DSP (designer series paper).  The suite includes stamp sets, coordinating dies, great sentiments, ribbon, pearls and glitter paper.  It also has foil paper which I chose not to use here.  This card design is from another demo, Laura Zimmerman, and I just loved it! Cardstock:  Very Vanilla 4 1/4 in x 11, scored at 5 1/2 in (cardbase), 4 i...

Cup of Tea Bundle I was participating in a card sketch challenge and I chose to use the Cup of Tea Suite in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.  It contains Cup of Tea stamp set with coordinating dies and designer series paper (DSP), teacup cards and envelopes.   I also wanted to include some of the new 2022-2024 In Colors: Orchid Oasis and Sweet Sorbet. I love the Tea Cup bundle with beautiful paper that creates fun and enjoyable cards and crafts.     I used the measurements found on this picture. Super easy.  I cut out the tea cup (with DSP) and leaves with the dies using the Stampin' Cut and Embossing Machine.  In the Basic White square, I stamped the leaves then added the cut out leaves.  The tea cup was adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Add a little linen thread bow and a few gems and you have a striking card.  Try this sketch card yourself and share with me.  I would love to see it.  Want these products and don't have a...
