Stamp-A-Stack Sample #1

A big THANK YOU to the ladies that made it out Friday night for my HIS/HER stamp-a-stack event! I know the weather was beautiful Friday night so I'm thrilled that you decided to spend the night stamping with the group!!

Here's 1 of the card layouts we worked on - obviously from the HERS side of the event - using the following supplies...

The card base is Basic Grey, with layers of Going Grey and 'A Walk In The Park' (115123) Designer Paper from the Occasions Mini. The butterfly images are from the 'Great Friend' (113792) stamp set and we mixed and matched the colors according to what the girls wanted on their card front...some chose Baja Breeze, some Kiwi Kiss, some chose completed different colors from the Stampin' Up! color family - FUN! The butterflies are popped up using Stampin Dimensionals.

The ribbon used is 5/8 inch White Satin ribbon (114646) from the Occasions Mini. For the samples shown here, I used the Mother's Day image from the All Holidays stamp set from the regular Spring/Summer IB&C.

Hope you like them!

What A Perfect Day

for a post like this...!

It's sunny outside and the temperature is getting warmer...the birds are chirping and it's FRIDAY! Yahoo!

So, in honour of all those things, my post today centers on these adorable little butterfly fridge magnets. I saw some samples at Regionals of flowers & letters, but thought I would try my Bigz Beautiful Butterflies Die and some fresh spring colours and viola! this was the end result! This particular Die is exclusive with Stampin' Up!...meaning you won't find it in any retail craft stores or online!

I added the Rhinestone Brads for some sparkle but they ended serving another purpose in that the Brad(s) actually hold the 2 different sized butterflies together nicely! I've added this project as a BONUS to my Stamp-A-Stack event next Friday April 24th so if you've been thinking about joining in, registration is still open!

Enjoy this bright & sunny Friday everyone! Thanks for stopping by today!

A shout out for new STAMPERS CLUB members!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

I've received a few emails of late asking me when my next Stamper Club will be starting up so I'm happy to extend an official invitation out for my next club to start in MAY!

What is a Stampers Club?

The Stampers Club is a group of members (typically 6) that meet regularly to learn new card techniques and make projects! This monthly event is absolutely FREE for club members! Each club member places an order once a month of a minimum of $40 (before shipping & taxes) over a 6 month timeframe. Each club member will receive Hostess Exclusive benefits as one of the perks for joining the club. Hostess Benefits include at least a Level 1 Hostess stamp set + a minimum of $20 in free Stampin' Up! merchandise - and it only goes up from there!

Club members order whatever they'd like during their 6 month club membership and you get to take full advantage of any/all Stampin' Up! promotions that occur during that time! Orders can be placed by email, phone or in person at our monthly club events and payment methods include cash, cheque or credit card.

Finally, club members receive exclusive 'club perks' including a gift for joining!

Email me if you are interested in learning more about the Stampers Club starting up in May - lisaburns@rogers.com. Looking forward to stamping with you soon!

The projects shown here were made during our Stampers Club event this past Saturday. Club members were taught how to use Sticky Letters and Chunky Glitter as well as how to make a coordinating envelope liner to match their card project!

Mother's Day & Father's Day Stamp-A-Stack - Friday April 24th

Would you like to have your Mother's Day & Father's Day cards ready to go well in advance of those very special occasions?

If yes, sign up for my Mom/Dad's Day Stamp-A-Stack scheduled for Friday April 24th from 7-9pm. You will learn a few new stamping tricks and make 6 themed cards! All cards will have the option to change the greeting if you wish! There will be 3 feminine type cards and 3 masculine type cards showcased at this SAS...something for everyone!

Email me at lisaburns@rogers.com if you wish to register!

The project shown above is just one of the feminine cards we'll be making on the 24th. Hard to see in the picture but the top layer of cardstock is embossed using the Manhattan Flower Textured Impression Die - guests will get to try out the Big Shot to create this look! I've also used some Vanilla HodgePodge and 5/8 Chocolate Chip Grosgrain ribbon. The stamp set used is called 'Holiday Blitz' and is great for all sorts of different occasions and craft project needs!

Hope you can join us for some stampin' time!
