Stamping with Michelle

One more day to Sale-a-brate!

It's hard to believe but there are only two more days to take advantage of Sale-a-bration!  There are some fantastic products available in this years sale-a-bration brochure, and you can view them all on my website.

Here is one last sample from this year's catalog:

 
Stamps: Bliss and Something to Celebrate

Cardstock: Pear Pizzazz and Concord Crush

Ink: Concord Crush and Pear Pizzazz

Accessories:  1 3/8" square punch, Modern Label punch, Concord Crush ribbon, and Stampin' Dimensionals

 

The technique on this card is a window pane technique.  I punched four squares out of cardstock and then placed them all together on the table in a 2x2 grid.  Then you stamp down on to the squares.  When you mount them on cardstock, separate them a little to give it a window pane or tile effect.  The large image in Bliss lends itself particularly well to this technique.

Don't forget...there are only two days left to get this fabulous stamp set.  You can click on the shop now link on the left of the blog to go to my website.

Happy Stamping!

Simply Adorned necklaces make great gifts!

I've been asked several times to hold another class to make inserts for the Simply Adorned Charms.  I'm pleased to announce my next class will be on Wednesday, April 13.  Simply Adorned necklaces make wonderful gifts, and with Easter, graduation, and Mother's Day right around the corner, you could have all your gift giving wrapped up in one fun evening!  

Here's my sample:

The class fee ranges from $28-$33 depending on the size of the charm you choose.  I have designed the class to include a ribbon necklace, but when you register, you can choose the Simply Adorned chain for an additional fee.  The class will be held at my house at 7:00pm, and I must have your paid registration by Friday, April 1, so that I can get the charms ordered.  

If you already have a charm, but would like to attend the class to make additional inserts, than the class fee is $10 payable by Monday, April 11 or $15 paid at the door.

To register, click on the necklace on the left side of the blog to download the registration form.

Happy Stamping!

Easter punch art

I thought today I would share another of the punch art cards that we did last week at my punch class.  I've got one more card from that class that I'll show either later this week or early next week.

We had a lot of fun at that class, and I'm already looking forward to the next one!

So this one is an Easter card.  Isn't that bunny just adorable!  It is hard to tell, but the whole thing is on a white base.  Can you figure out how I created the Easter eggs?  They use the wide oval punch and I ran them through the Big Shot to texture them after I punched them.  I really liked making eggs that way.  I actually don't have a whole lot of Easter stamps, so this was a great way to create an Easter card with out traditional Easter stamps.  Gotta love thinking outside the box!

You can purchase the punches to make this card or the other cards we made that night on my website.  Just click on the Shop Now button on the left of the screen!

Happy Stamping!

St. Patty's Day punch art

There's still a few days to sign up for my punch art class that I'll be holding this Friday and I still have a few spots available.  I've got four great cards planned, and it should be a really fun night!

Here's another sample of one of the cards we will be making:

Isn't he just the cutest thing?  Just in time for St. Patrick's Day.  I don't normally do much around St. Patrick's Day, but I thought this little leprechaun was too cute to pass up!

The details on this class again...it will be held this Friday, March 11, at 7:00 pm at my house in Auburn.  The class fee is $20 when prepaid by Wednesday or $25 if you pay me that night.

I'm really excited about this class, and I'm really looking forward to it!  I hope to see you there!

Happy Stamping...and stay dry!

More spring cards

I think I think that if I keep posting spring cards, spring will come faster!  This time of year, warmer weather seems tantalizingly just out of reach!  Ah, well, I suppose I just need to be a little more patient.

Here's today's card:

Materials: Nature Walk and A Wish for You

Cardstock: So Saffron, Early Espresso, Not Quite Navy and Ivory Naturals card stock; Botanical Gazette DSP

Ink: Not Quite Navy and Old Olive markers

Accessories: Mat Pack and Paper Piercing Tool, Old Olive 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals

 

Yes, this is another sample with the Nature Walk set.  Have I mentioned how much I really like this set?  I really like how the paper piercing adds a nice accent.  I forgot about that little tool sometimes!

Happy Stamping!
