Happy New Year!

Last night I was making some New Year's Eve note cards for someone.  This is what I came up with.  Thought I would post it to my stamping blog as my last post and project upload for 2012. Hard to believe 2013 is just around the corner.

The stamping technique I used in both is Embossing.  The numbers are embossed in the above picture and the numbers and champagne glasses are embossed in the picture below.  If you look at the numbers really closely you will see that they have two-tones.  This is has got to be one of my fav techniques.  I love embossing and by adding another color this is what you get....Two-Toned Embossing.   :)

Stampin' Up! Supplies used:

Stamp Set: Embellished Events, Short Order Numbers (retired)

Paper:  Whisper White card stock, Basic Black card stock

Ink: Going Grey Stampin' Write Marker (retired), Daffodil Delight Stampin' Write Marker, VersaMark Pad

Accessories:  Gold Embossing Powder, Black Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Basic Rhinestone Jewels, Stampin' Dimensionals

Happy Stamping and Happy New Year!

2013 Stamping Events

If you want to get your creative juices flowing in 2013, please check out my stamping events below.  The Club you will need to make a 6 month committment but for the stamp camps you do not.  These events are a great way to make some extra hand made cards to have on hand or to get a head start on your scrapbooking.  I know it is always hard to find time to scrapbook.

Stamping Event #1 - Michelle's 2013 Stamp Camps


A Stamp Camp is a stamping event where you come to my house, use my Stampin' Up! products and make an assortment of cards for a price.  Come join me for some stamping fun!

During 2013, I will hosting 6 Stamp Camps.   These Stamp Camps will generally be held every other month as well as on the 3rd Sunday of that month. Please see list of months and dates below. I have included an email link for registeration beside each one for your convenience. There is no commitment for these stamp camps, attend one or attend them all - it is up to you!

At each stamp camp, you will make an assortment of 12 cards (4 each of 3 different designs) with matching envelopes. The cost for each Stamp Camp is $20.00 for club members or $25.00 for non-club members and is due at the time of the stamp camp. You are always welcome to place an order if you wish. The card designs will be uploaded to my Stamping Websites (this one as well as my Stampin' Up! Demonstrator website) a week or 2 before the stamp camp date so that you can see what we will be making. Please register at least a week ahead of the class you want to attend as space is limited.

 Stamping Event #2 - Michelle's 2013 Stamping Technique Cards and Scrapbook Club
A stamping club is an organized group of members who agree to meet regularly for a period of time, place minimum orders, rotate hostess benefits and have lots and lots of stamping FUN!

For this Stamping Technique and Scrapbook Club, the committment is that we will meet every other month for 6 months (the months are listed below).  Our first Club meeting will be on either February 23 or 24, 2013 (date to be confirmed).  Our club will usually meet the 3rd Saturday or Sunday of each month but that is dependant of the hostess' schedule for that month and may change. 

At each club meeting we will learn a new stamping technique, make a card 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. That is a great price for all that is included in this club.  Sign up with a friend and receive a Stampin' Up!
