Sneak Peak at June . . . Shhhh!

I've never been able to keep a secret . . . I blab exciting news like a great big stooly pigeon. Shine the light on me and I sing all the secrets. So here it is.

I'm planning fun MAN CARDS for June workshops. That's right. Man Cards. The dreaded word in cardmaking circles. Impossible to make, because defying logic manly cards do not have glitter, or bows, or bedeckled sequins. Nope, man cards are boring.

So I searched and found the perfect cards for us to make (I see we can sneak a sequin on, in a manly way, of course. Using manly Jackson paper, which is oh so manly, I've found the perfect cards for us to make for that special manly man in our lives.

Jackson paper is a pack of coordinating decorative paper and cardstock in rich tones of Barn Red, Glacier, Cocoa, and Juniper.

Here are pictures of the cards we will be making . . .

Beautiful cards, to be sure, but instead of these sayings, we will be using the ever so versatile Holiday Tags Stamp Set shown here:

You could pick anything from a Thank You to Happy Birthday to even Father's Day. Wahoo!

Classes will be announced soon, as well as the price. Super fun. Super easy. Your manly man will love his man card. Guaranteed.

Hope to see you in the Stamp Studio soon!

Blossom!!!!

The weather today is blurry . . . cold and rainy and no sun in sight which makes working with springy, bright paper even more fun! Today is my evening scrapbook workshop for Blossom. The kit is just $6.50 and you can either come to tonight's workshop at 6:00 p.m. or come on Saturday from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. OR you can order it to be done at home and I'll put that together for you too!

Easy, easy! PLUS, this is exciting, if you follow the cutting directions you actually will have leftover material to make another page or cards or . . . you know, any papercrafting project you have in mind.

I'm using my leftovers to make some Springy cards. That's what needs to be done on a rainy, blurry May day. Come on rain, bring it on!

Here are some cute samples of cards I'm going to stamp lift today (totally legal). Fun and easy! I'm going to use my scraps from the kit and leftover sequins and twine. Fun, fun!

Here's a picture of the layout the kit makes:
Let me know if you are interested in the kit in the comments below and I'll get it right out to you or sign you up for a class. It's fun to stamp with friends!
