Crafting class fun

Hi ho, hi ho it's off to crafting class I go!!  With a weekend PACKED with Classes... I've neglected my blog and y'all!!  I'm sorry!  With so much crafting fun this weekend (events every day), I couldn't' help but quickly share some of it with you!

Creating some fun.. this weekend started off with our Watercolor Wonder Holiday Card Kit Class and we had a BLAST!  Creating 20 cards each with this old-fashioned watercoloring fun was the best with some amazing ladies, Spiked Apple Cider and our famous BBQ Popcorn...

The ladies took creative license with this fun cardmaking kit and I was excited to see the results!

The ladies had a blast wearing my collection of aprons!  Patti was inspired to jump out of her comfort zone and went to customize her Christmas Cards... she did an amazing job, too!  It was a hoot, if YOU missed out on this fun, make sure to CLICK HERE to see my upcoming classes and to RSVP (If you RSVP and bring a friend and receive a great gift from me!!)

Torii loved the sleds in this kit!  She maybe back in California but her heart is still back in Montana.  She has her sled, just like the one from the kit, on her deck... bringing a little winter fun home to sunny California! 

 

Georgia was having a ton of fun with changing the kit up and mixing the pieces... the fun thing, that I like to point out is, that I'm not the boss of YOUR cards... so have fun and change it up to fit your style!!

Preparing for holiday boutiques and the upcoming Many Merry Starts Kit Class on Dec. 12th these Stars are amazingly cool, easy and fun to create!  The Private Class on Saturday was a ton of fun with Pat and her friends and family we created some stunning Fall and Christmas hand-stamped cards to use.  Making the largest of the 3D Paper Crafted Stars within moments had the ladies blown away with the ease and beauty of this kit.

Thanks for coming by... today's class is prepped and I'm taking a moment to rest... but I couldn't resist a share with YOU.. some of my favorite people!  Make Sure that YOU are signed up for the awesome collection of crafting and cardmaking classes... making time for YOU in the midst of the holiday bustle is important and you can take the classes for FREE while buying Gifts for family and friends - most of my classes are FREE with a minimum purchase - SCORE!!  Seats are FILLING UP for the Holiday Wonder Card Class (Nov. 22nd) where we will be creating 20 cards to send this Holiday Season - before Thanksgiving so that you are prepared... so RSVP for this class, seats are filling and FAST!

I love the look of silver on the Night of Navy.  The Silver Encore ink pads are rich in color and stand up so well on this dark background.  Stamping the White Christmas tree scape image twice you can fill the page with the stunning scenic look that fills this background.  The Good Greetings FREE Stamp set is amazing!!  Christine is surely receiving this bonus FREE Gift for being a Hostess in a Private Class - SCORE!  Here one of the 19 FREE Sentiments are hand-stamped in the Silver Encore ink on the scene for an elegant look.

 

This White Christmas stamp set has many options - from cool reindeer, snowman, the polar bear and more!  Simply stamp the image you want in Night of Navy ink on the Whisper White card stock for a cute accent (it reminds me of a Cocoa Cola polar bears).

Tool Tip Tuesday:  Using the Stars Confetti boarder punch is easy - Simply punch the boarder, slide it until the pattern matches up (only silver stars show and thought the punched openings) and punch again - this will create a flowing and boarder and fun confetti as a bonus!  I like to stand when punching - with a punch like this, it's punching a bunch of shapes - this gives me leverage and helps me not pinch my hand - ouch!

 

Layer the Silver Glimmer Paper behind the punched boarder using the Glue Dots.  This sparkle is just stunning in the stamped night scene!  Layer this over the Smoky Slate card stock base using the Stampin' Dimensional adhesive for more depth to this hand-crafted Holiday Card.

Add the punched confetti to the inside of the card.  This is an easy and fun way to add interest and use up the stars - they are just too cool to waste!  Go retro and after you write a note, add the hand-punched confetti stars to the card and ship it - it will shower your loved ones with stars!

Variety - the class had options and women love options!!  Here Julia stamped a cute reindeer on a piece of Smoky Slate card stock for a fun variety.

This stamp set is so cute - it's fun to have a variety of looks and options in your crafting - great job Julia!

This scene does say 'Merry and Bright' with a fun nod to the Cocoa Cola Polar Bear commercials of the holiday season.  (I love those bears!)  This Silver and Night of Navy look with metallic accents and sparkle in the Glimmer Paper take a pretty hand-stamped card up to a WOW hand-crafted holiday card.  Sending hand-made cards will stand out in the crowd of mass produced cards and it shows that you care just a little more!  Plan ahead and book YOUR Private Class with me and if it's in October, you can secure this FREE Stamp Set as a bonus gift!

Birthday and Crafting Celebrations!!

I love so much about what I do... crafting soothes my soul and gives me some beautiful results from my playing, connecting with others when you send the card and bless them and then there are those ladies who I stamp with... they, they bless me beyond measure!  So when one of my classes had a wonderful celebration, it was beyond a blessing to be a part of celebrating a birthday!  See how awesome this surprise is and see why my stamping friends bless me so!

It is almost too pretty to eat!  When Pat brought in and surprised Helyn with a birthday cake we were in awe, but to have it be a stunning, hand made cake like this.. it brought tears to our eyes!

Pat likes to keep you on your toes, but she has a massive heart!  To joke with us all, to create a cake like this for the class - in the midst of her working full-time... there are no words for what a blessing this was.

Helyn was blown away!  She had a tear-filled moment then bounced back to enjoy the blessing.

The ladies and I were looking forward to fun card making and crafting.. this was the 'icing on the cake' and ohhhh the icing and home made lime flavored cake was divine!

Make a wish!!

My wish is that we are all blessed with wonderful moments like this in our lives.  I like to believe that these moments are why God bring us together.

Pat is awesome!  She even brought us all 'party favors' - no joke - she delivered us some awesome pens and cheer with this cool cake and warm loving!

So if you were to ask me 'Why do you love being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator?' - I'm blessed with many moments like this.  Moments where crafters join to laugh, love and even pray together and hold each other up.  The ladies that I'm blessed to craft with me are the highlights to my days - they bless me so with their company and friendship.  I hope that you enjoy our sweet slice of cake and consider joining in the fun!  We have a blast in our Stampin' Classes and on my Gettin' Crafty Stampin' Team - come join us!  Thanks ladies - you are an answer to my prayers!
