Artisan Wednesday Wow

Welcome to the Artisan Wednesday Wow! Blog hop.  Hopefully you were able to see Heather Summers adorable scrapbook page!  

If not be sure to make it all around the hop and get back to her blog:)  

Here is what I came up with for the month of April's Face book Project!  

Some cute little craft boxes, decorated for a baby shower!

Here is a close up of the details.  I added distressed dots with Craft Whisper White ink.  

Stamped the umbrellas separate on Whisper white and popped them up over the bases that I had stamped in Soft Suede.  These were fun and pretty easy to make!  

Thanks for stopping by, now be sure to hop on over to the amazing Jane Lee and

Artisan Wednesday Wow!

Welcome back to another round of Artisan Wednesday Wow!

I hope you had a chance to check out another beautiful project from Heather Summers!  She is so talented!!  If you haven't stopped by her blog yet, be sure to make it all the way back to her.

Here is my third project of the month.  I had done a similar jar for Easter and really liked it so I thought it would be perfect for an Artisan Post!  I used the Pop-up Posies and sponged around the edges.  Instead of the brads they came with I decided to use some Vintage Brads.  Let me know what you think!

 Now it's time to stop by Jane Lee's amazing blog!  You have to see how creative she is!  She always does such a great job!

Paper Pumpkin Class

So I am sure most of you have heard of Paper Pumpkin...Right?  It is the amazing kit that comes to you in the mail every month!  And each month you receive a SURPRISE craft to do!  Well we decided to make a class out of it:)  Since Paper Pumpkin is geared towards those who want a quick craft to do, I figured why not step it up a bit and show a few other things to do with the kit!  So here is the first class...

Above is the "original" intention for the kit...pretty cute huh?  Below are two items I made with some of the product and some additional product then what comes with the kit.  Just to give you a few ideas of how versatile it is!

 Then below is a ramped up version of the kit, with a few extras on it:)  

 So do I have you intrigued?  All you have to do is click here and specify me as your demonstrator:)  Then every month I will offer the class for only $5.00!!!!  Can't make the class one month?  No biggie! You are already getting a great deal for the kit!  Hope you join today!!!

Parks and Rec Cards

Hi Everyone!  Well I started up another round of my Parks and Rec classes.  It is always fun meeting new customers and teaching them card making:)

 Here are the two cards we made the other day.  Inside the top one says Mother...I did the title inside that way they could do any word they wanted out of the set.  The next one we did was a birthday...because you can always use a birthday card!  

Thanks for stopping in!  See you again soon:)

Downline Meeting

I have such a great group of down line!  I truly enjoy ever time I get to hang out with them.  This months meeting was no different!  And with so many new things popping up daily (it seems) at Stampin' Up!  It was a jam packed meeting.  

Every down line meeting I hold I try to give my group a workshop ready card and 3-D item.  Since that means keeping it simple I tend to use some of the GREAT kits that SU! offers.  I also wanted to get there hands on the Polymer stamps so they could see how amazing they are!

And perfect for a baby card!  Here is the front, the cloud background was ran through the embossing folder on Marina Mist Card Stock, then I sponged the clouds in with whisper white.  

 Here is the inside of the card with the little pop-up...

Club Card

Happy April Fools...not my favorite holiday.  I don't really enjoy pranks or being part of pranks...so I try to sit it out.  But I am always on my toes so I don't look to naive believing someone else's prank:)  

 Here are the two cards I made with my clubs this past month.  Above is my regular club and below is advanced.  Not a huge difference, but a step up in how much I put on the card.  Hope you like them! and thanks for stopping in!
