2012 Stamping Technique Card & Scrapbook Club

This year's club got me thinking, if you are unable to make the time committment of a couple of hours on a Saturday or Sunday every other month then perhaps you would like to participate in this club via email. It will work the same way, you submit your order of $35.00 along with payment each time we meet and I will forward you the supplies to make that club's projects and technique sheet along with step by step instructions. This way you can make each club project at your leisure and still get some scrapbooking and card making done.

2012 Stamping Technique Card & Scrapbook Club

Michelle's 2012 Stamping Technique Cards & Scrapbook Club


Want to get your creative juices flowing in 2012 or perhaps you want to have some extra hand made cards to have on hand, if so then I have the stamping club for you. 


This club will meet every other month for 6 months starting January 22, 2012. At each club meeting we will learn a new stamping technique, make a card or two showcasing this new stamping technique, make a technique sheet as well as create a double layout scrapbook page. Wow! If scrapbooking isn't your thing, not to worry you can always make extra cards!


Each time we meet there will be a new hostess who will receive the hostess benefits for that club meeting. The hostess benefits include hostess dollars that can be spent on exclusive specially-priced hostess products or any catalogue items as well as the chance to earn catalogue items at 50% off. The minimum Stampin' Up! order amount is $35.00. Everyone in the club must place a minimum order for $35.00 so that the hostess benefits can be reached. This order along with payment is due on or before the club meeting date. Sign up with a friend and receive a Stampin' Up! Club Bonus Coupon valued at $15.00.

Gold Ornaments

Now that my stamp camps are finished for the year I really need to get a move on finishing up my Christmas cards.  The inspiration for this card came from Mary Fish's blog.  I was recently on Mary's blog and saw an a card that she had made using the Pendant Park stamp set gold embossed on circles which were ornaments. Mary's card was simply stunning. I guess you could say this is my version of her card. Thanks Mary for your inspiration!  I usually don't stray very far from Stampin' Up! products but for this card I did.  One of my Mom's friends gave her a bunch of ribbon to pass along to me....Thanks Diane!  I immediately thought I am going to make a card for her using this gold weave ribbon.  Here is the card I made for her.  I had to make a bunch of these as they were easy to make. 

I will be starting up a new Stamping Technique Club in January be sure to check my "Clubs" link often for more details.  I would love for you to join us.

Merry Christmas Rosette snowflake card - December 11 Stamp Camp

Here is the second card design that will be featured at my Christmas card and tag stamp camp on December 11.  Yup the date has been moved.  We had a couple of sick kids last week so no time to stamp or prepare for a stamp camp.  I hope you will join me on the new last stamp camp date December 11, 2011 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.  Click here to register via email.

The rosettes are fun to make.  I didn't find them easy, perhaps with practice they will be come easier.  I also don't own the Scoring Tool so that may just be my next purchase or a Christmas present.  If you have any stamping items on your Christmas wish list be sure and tell your family and friends that they can order these items online on my Stampin' Up! Demonstrator website.
