Spring is Blossoming!

Spring is here (so they say), and so is a sneak peek of a brand new stamp set and gorgeous new DSP (designer series paper) that will be in the next Stampin'Up! catalog coming out in July. So during the month of April, you will be able to buy these brand new products with a purchase of at least $20. Click on the link in the sidebar for full details, and then click on over to my website and the Shop Now section to place your order. Remember, this is only during the month of April, and then they will not be available again until July!

Also, check out the Clearance Rack (link in the sidebar) for some great online "Grab Bag" deals while supplies last!

Tons of Techniques

Our last "Tons of Techniques" class was a lot of fun. Here are the projects we made. We used sets from the Occasions Mini and Sale-a-bration Mini. The first card was made with the Create a Cupcake set and coordinating punch. The fun texture of the icing was created by embossing the Tombow multi-purpose glue!

The next card uses the Clearly for You set. The focal point uses the Faux Silk technique, and the background was made with a technique called Texture Plate Smoosh (from the Technique Junkie newsletter).
The next 2 cards are examples of Embedded Embossing. Class participants were given a choice between these cards.....no one could choose, so we made both! The first card uses images from the Sale-a-bration set, Punch Bunch. The technique used on the focal point of both cards is called Neutral Shadows (from the Technique Junkie newsletter).
The second card uses the Plane & Simple set from the Occasions Mini. Each card uses the same technique for the background just a little differently.

Be sure to sign up for the next Tons of Techniques class, scheduled for Thurs., April 28th, 6:30 p.m. or Fri., April 29th, 10 a.m. Space is limited, so contact me today at the e-mail address above to reserve your spot.
