Stamping & Crafting Events

My teachers assistant

by

I have had a teachers assistant at my classes this month, it is my 5 year old granddaughter. I have had the joy of having my two grandchildren, Samantha 5 & Hunter,2, for a sleepover with grammy for 3 days which fell on two of my satellite stamp class dates.

Samantha loves to craft and is always wanting to go to the Stamp Studio to stamp and create. When she saw I was putting together my July class kits she wanted to help. She helped me cut out dies using the Big Shot and stuffed the envelopes with all the materials. Is was fun to watch her as she organized everything on her own. What was Hunter doing while we were prepping? He was either taking his nap, playing with the school bus or helping us.

They both got to attend the classes too! Sunday I had my monthly Coffee & A Card Class at the local Panera Bread. We went a little early to set up for everyone. They helped me put out the place mats and make sure we had enough chairs for everyone. Samantha was a great teachers assistant as helped instruct the gals and stamped her own card. Here’s Samantha’s card.

 

 

She was SO proud of her card!

She even wrote this inside: ” Happy Birthday U.S.A.

From Sam”

 

 

 

 

Here’s my sample:

 

We took my July 3/$10 class to Tinley Park, and Sam reminded everyone to be careful, and which stamp pad they were to use and how to stamp.

Samantha reminded me that she wants to be a teacher and a mom when she grows up, this was great practice for her.

I really enjoyed having a teachers assistant and hope Samantha is able to help again soon.

Varied Vases for Coffee and a Card

by

I am held my Coffee and a Card Sunday morning and have chosen to use the Varied Vases stamp set for our card. I hold this class the first Sunday of the month at a local coffee shop. We have several people attend to enjoy chatting & stamping over a cup of coffee. We love getting to know each other better every time we get together. Some of the gals arrive a little early for breakfast. We have also had others ask what we are doing, some even sit down and join us!

This is the card we will be making today. It uses So Saffron as the base, Whisper White, Granny Apple Green Designer Series Paper from the Brights paper stack. They will all enjoy the reminder of how to do the split ribbon technique.

This set was designed by one of our Million Dollar Achievers, Mary Fish. I love the fact that there is also a coordinating punch, which when you purchase together in the bundle you save 20%.

Here is my sample of the card participants created.

I had the joy of having Samantha & Hunter as helpers for my class.Samantha even stamped the card along with the gals.

When we got home she wanted to write inside, it says: “I love you. Happy Birthday to the U.S.A. From Samantha” She wrote MOM inside because she said mom has to give it to the U.S.A.

Holiday All Day Stamp Camp Fun

by

All seats were filled at my All Day Holiday Stamp Camp last weekend! Attendees enjoyed learning new special folds, quick & cute holiday cards, gift packaging & tags.

I wanted to share more gifting ideas so each person had an assortment of 3 gift bags filled with goodies (I showed one of them on Friday) setting at their seat when they arrived. Some of the treat bags were filled with products we would be using throughout the day with extras to take home to use to recreate the projects they learned plus more. ( I forgot to take pictures of the seating with the gifts). One held goodies to snack on throughout the day.  I shared that cute & quick treat bag Yesterday.

If you have ever attended one of my All Day Stamp Camps you know that I ask if there is anything you are wanting to learn to do. I try to bring you at least one requested project if possible. Eileen requested to learn how to make a tunnel card while at my last stamp camp so it was our second project of the day. She saw a video that Liz Yuille (an U.K. demonstrator) shared but she was having trouble recreating it.  I taught them some of my tips and tricks on putting this type of card together and gave them ideas on how to use stamps they already owned to make more of these on their own. Eileen said my tips were very helpful and she felt she could now make it on her own.

Here are a few photos of the day.

Here’s Lynndee showing her support for Stampin’ Up! by turning her Dutch Letter into SU!

Have you ever had a Dutch letter pastry? They are WONDERFUL!! They are a light pastry with an almond filling.

These tables are hard at work!

Gift Card holders are always welcome this time of year! I overheard several say they will be making this one again!

Gail is making sure her gift box goes together smoothly.

It was fun to see how adorable all the boxes were with the different Designer Series Papers. They were able to choose their own patterns from the goodie bag they received.

Lynndee is making her tag using the Felt Stitched Shapes that were in another goodie bag. Add some more Designer Series Paper, a silver foil doily and some punched trim and you have an adorable gift tag to add to the gift box they just made.

Lots of laughing and chatting as they decided what they were going to purchase over dessert. Everyone who purchased got to choose a wrapped gift under the ornament tree.

I’d like to give a big Thank You to Peanuts Bar & Grill for letting us spend the day stamping, learning & laughing the day away.

Watch for my next big event, My Weekend Getaway, coming February 2,3 &4!  We’d love to have you join us for some stamping & crafting fun. We even have tables for those who love to scrapbook to join us.

Scrapbook Expo Bound

by

It’s been a little crazy around here these past few weeks as I have been making samples for my upcoming classes and the Scrapbook Expo being held in Schaumburg this Friday and Saturday. I am so excited to see so many of you there again this year. I have had a spot at the expo for the past 15 years and have made many, many friends throughout the years. It is always so much fun to see those of you that come from out of state, seems like this is our meeting spot! We continue connecting through social media all year long but I always love seeing everyone in person ad chatting about what the past year has brought them.

Have you been watching me on Periscope? This is the newest way I am connecting with my friends across the country. We have tried other avenues but this is by far the simplest for everyone and they are loving it!! They get to watch me do projects and give tips live in addition to connect with me through their comments. They are also helping each other by offering tips and suggestions on their own through the chat portion of the scope. Do you know what the greatest part of us  connecting through scoping? They can do it on their phones!!!! If you would like to scop with me give me a shout out and I will let you know what you will need to do ( it’s SUPER simple!!).

Well, I am on my way now to set up and I just may do a quick scope from the Expo today as I am setting up as well as Friday and Saturday during the Expo.

Til we meet again,

Watercolor Wings, Butterfly Basics using Bohemian Designer Series Paper

by

These cards using the Watercolor Wings & Butterfly Basic stamp sets with the Bohemian Designer Series Paper (DSP) were just one of the great projects attendees of our Summer HapBEE Stamping and Crafting Getaway created. It was actually one card, but depending on which side of the Bohemian DSP they chose to show is what their card looked like. In this particular class they created an assortment of 4 different cards using these stamp sets, DSP and coordinating cardstock. All were wow’d by all! The first 20 who registered were VIP’s and attended an exclusive class just for them on Friday night. The project they made was a coordinating card holder that coordinated with these cards.We also offered scrapbook themed classes in addition to the card classes, all were included in the registration fee.
