Scaredy Cat Spectacular and Flower Fest swap

I'll be hosting a Scaredy Cat Spectacular on September 18. Participants will get the stamp set, 5 make and takes, enjoy a card contest with prizes, swapping, door prizes and a full lunch! Details are on under Classes on the tab above.

Frankie made this cheery Flower Fest swap using the Eyelet Border and Modern Label punches, as well as an Itty Bitty punch and a pearl.

I've started my Classes to Go with the Button Buddies stamp set. Click on the tab above to see the details. It's the first time I've offered something like this, so go easy on me. I'm open to suggestions! I just want to provide you with a handful of ideas for a single stamp set at a time.

Also, I may add a class this month. Right now, I'm keeping my calendar open so I can work on many projects for the Kitsap Arts & Crafts Festival at the end of the month in Kingston. Have a great day!

Flower Fest card and American Ink gathering

I expected low numbers at my American Ink team gathering Saturday, so I moved our get-together to a Mexican restaurant. This time of year, there are many people on vacation and who have family obligations. Still, we ended up with eight of us. It was fun! Kim brought the Flower Fest/Pennant Parade swap above.

 

For Kim's card, we inked up the flower stamps in Wisteria Wonder, then used a sponge dauber to wipe off the ink around the outside of each flower and sponged on Island Indigo (both are new In Colors). Notice the bitty flower and brad in the middle of each flower? The designer paper is free with hostess benefits - Cheery Treat.

If you'd like to attend an American Ink gathering to see what demonstrators do when they're together, we meet the second Saturday of every month. Just contact me and I'll hook you up! Don't forget - there's never been a better time to join Stampin' Up!. The starter kit is only $99 plus sales tax.
