October card class

 

This month's card class has a little autumn in it, but still an all-occasion class.

The card above is made with Christmas stamps, but by changing the ink and using fall colored gems it doesnt have to be just for Christmas... making your stamps a little more versitile.

 

This card is made by heat embossing the flowers.

It is a sympathy card, but if you choose you can leave it blank and stamp another greeting at a later time.  It almost works for any occasion.



This Halloween card is made with brand new MFT stamps that have matching pumpkin dies.

The owl is also a new release die.

Embossing powders & supplies

Recently I added some embossing powders to the store selection, after having quite a few people asking for it.
Im really picky with my powders because they are all NOT the same.  I have found that I really like the Stampendous detail powders.
I have them in clear, white, and black right now.
I also have in stock the static pads and Versamark too... necessary "must haves" when heat embossing.

Back to School 2012

Its back to school time so I thought I would do a 6x6 flap book with the school theme.

This book has 12 pages that will be completed and all you will need to do is add photos when you get home.  All the paper will be cut and ready to go!

There are lots of details and also a bunch of pockets and hidden flaps for journaling and photos.
This class is a great way to remember those special memories!  Use it for your kids, grandkids, or even a teacher gift.

 There will be some pieces that need to be cut out so be sure to bring small scissors.

I also have kits if you cant make a class date and would like a kit to take home.

New Fall and Halloween Folders

Some of these folders I had in for a short time last year until they ran out, and some are brand new.

 This was a card we made in last year's card class. So cute with the googly eyed spider!

New Embossing Folders for the Winter Holidays!

I have ordered in a bunch of new folders for Christmas because many of you have told me you are working on your holiday cards already!

This one I ran out of last year...  Leanne made this beautiful card as a sample.

New Phyliss Harris stamps

I love, love, love the artwork of Phyliss Harris.  Besides being a rubber stamp artist she is an illustrator for Highlights (the childrens magazine). 
I recently started carrying a line of her stamps in the shop... but I'm sure they wont last long!

The card above was one I stumbled upon while browsing FaceBook.  It was made by Stacy Sheldon and her blog is here:

Stacy's Memory Triggers

I've included a few images of just a sample of some of the stamp sets I have in stock...

August Card Class

A new month... a new card class.
My Favorite Things has new dies and new stamps every month.  The mouse card above uses both, I especially love the Sentiment Strips dies for words.  We will also be using the Copic markers and adding a little Flower Soft in the basket.

The Riley card uses Core paper which we will sand to give it a worn look.

The "gender neutral" baby card uses a new onesie die with the matching stamp set. There is even a mini clothes pin for an added touch.

Its wedding season, this one would make a great card for a wedding or anniversary.

More super cute My Favorite Things stamps and dies.

July Card Class

 In this month's class we will be making 5 all occasion cards with envelopes.  We will be using a lot of dies, embossing folders, Copic markers, and other embellishments.

You cant see it in the photo, but this one has clear glaze on the fish bowl to make it look like real glass.  This one also uses some Copic blending.

I love the inside verse that goes with this Riley stamp.  Inside says "The greatest of friends help you along your way regardless of the color of the path."  His ink palette is masked and popped up too.

Benton bear has microbeads on his cupcake to look like tiny sprinkles!

More masking and die-cits were used on the cowgirl.

June Card Class

In this class we will be stamping 5 cards with envelopes.
All the cards will be using new embossing folders, new metal dies, and lots of embellishments.

The Benton Bear card above uses Copic markers and some Flower Soft in his bouquet.

The dragonfly card is made from a brand new metal die that just arrived from Memory Box.

The leafy tree card looks a bit washed out in the picture, the cardstock is actually more brown.  This is also a newer embossing folder too.

The poppy die is another new Memory Box release.

The inside verse to this card reads "Shoot for the moon, even if you miss it you will land among the stars."
