I love, love, love The Cats Pajamas rubber stamps! I am super excited that they are coming out with new stamps and dies this week too. I have already pre ordered most of them so they should be here soon!
I really love any stamps from Whippersnapper, this one is especially one of my favorites. I like stamps that can be used for almost any occasion.
Here is a better view of what the Glossy Glaze looks like... sorta.
This inside verse is also another Whippersnapper favorite.
Yahoo! My computer is back after being repaired, it was really hard to navigate the internet from my phone all this time.
The red and blue stickles add just a touch of shimmer for this card.
This wedding card uses a punch that has all the flowers and leaves for this card, along with some Cuttlebug folders for the background.
I love this quirky card... The inside reads "life is too short to match socks!"
In this card making class you will be making 5 hand stamped cards (with envelopes) of various occasions.
I have added 2 more dates for the Flower Soft card class since it filled up quite quickly.
These elephant punches sold out very quick by just having the card samples in the store, but they are back in stock now!
This little sporty girl stamp set from My Favorite Things is so cute but if you need a graduation card she can work great for that too.
Have you been wondering what to do with Flower Soft, or have some and just unsure how to use it? Flower Soft is a very unique embellishment to give your stamped images some realistic dimension.
In this class we will be stamping 5 different cards and envelopes. All 5 cards will use 5 different varieties of Flower Soft. We will also be using Copic markers and Nestabilities in the Cuttlebug.
Class Dates:
Super cute stamps have come in from The Cats Pajamas, also some really great cutting dies too.
This is a more up close picture of what the pinwheels die looks like. It also has a smaller pinwheel and 4 center shapes on it too. This pinwheel is a great example of one of the joys of double sided paper!
This one uses another one of my favorite stamp sets and the Rosette Flower die. The flower die also has a smaller sized flower, a center, and a banner... So easy to use. If you check out the previous post on my blog you can see the video of how to use both of these great dies.
I have been really trying to make the insides of my cards just as pretty as the outside. I even added some gems to the inside too.
In this class we will be making a 20 page 6x6 album with a retro family theme.
This album would be great for a Mother's Day gift or to just keep for yourself. You can fill it with your "average everyday photos" or use some pictures from when you were a kid.
Class Dates are limited to:
We had 3 great Copic marker classes this past Sunday with Tammy Hershberger. I was still very inspired so I worked on a few more cards using the same sets.
I just love this bear from The Cats Pajamas, she's really cute but turned out a little dark in the photo.
Copics used:
(bear) (apron & cup)
E29 YR09
E27 YR07
E23 BG13
E21 BG11
The cup has some of the paper glaze on it to look steamy, but you cant tell from the photo. I also used the Tonic Duo-Corner punch above and the Lacey Circles Nestabilities below.
If you missed the Copic 101 class in December, you will want to make sure you sign up for it this time. Tammy Hershberger is coming back from Ohio to teach another level 1 and a level 2 Copic marker class! 
Tammy is an expert Copic teacher and a fabulous card maker!
Cost of the class is $30
New items are always arriving! This tree stamp is a new release and I thought it would go together with the Flower Soft perfectly. The great thing about this stamp is that you can change it for any season just by changing the Flower Soft colors. 
The one I used was called Sweet Pea, but any of the other colors would look great too. Just add a tiny bit of the Flower Soft glue to the leaves and sprinkle it like you would with glitter or flock.
This card was made using one of my new favorite MFT (My Favorite Things) dies. Its the "banner day" die-namics and cuts 2 sizes of banners and a little topper piece too.
The 3rd card in this set uses the kite die and the clouds die. These 2 dies work perfectly together! All of the MFT dies work in your Cuttlebug just like the Nestabilities, you just need to use your C plate instead of the B plate. The word stamps are also from a MFT set, I really like the handwritten style of this stamp set.
Since my blog reached 100,000 hits this week I am going to have a give-a-way for one lucky blog reader!
On Sunday, March 13th Tammy will be back again to teach a Cricut 102 class. This class is to extend what you know about your Cricut and learn more difficut techniques. If you are pretty good at working your Cricut, or if you took the Cricut 101 last week this class is perfect for you.
In this class we will be making 5 cards with envelopes. These cards are a step up in intricacy by using quite a few new MFT dies and stamp sets.
We will also be using new embellishments to add dimension, such as paper glaze and micro beads.
I would suggest this class to anyone who is familiar with stamping, copic markers, and using the Spellbinders dies. If you are brand new to stamping this might not be the best class for you to try.
Supplies you will need:
I have some 3x3 card kits (with envelopes) at the shop if anyone wanted to make some cute little gift cards. You will get supplies to make 5 cards for $7.00.
Its hard to tell from the top photo but I took a piercer (for making holes for brads) and pierced around the scallops.
A lot of new stamps have been coming in from Hero Arts, My Favorite Things, and Penny Black.
There is a Cuttlebug set of 4 called "Simply Charmed" that has a shamrock embossing folder, had to use it with this adorable MFT stamp set.
This one is very similar but uses some shamrock paper in the background instead. This set is cute for St. Patrick's Day but also for friend cards too.
