I had some requests on how to make the layered frames on my last baby card - enjoy!!

Baby Booties from Christmas Stockings.. so cute!

I wanted to share with you the second card we are making in our Technique Club this month. The theme this month is punches and sweet smelling embossing powders! This particular card I made using the Stocking Punch with the Stitched Stockings Stampset. All I did was cut them down by 1/2 and move the cuffs down. I'll do a tutorial for the little pom poms later this week, and also for the homemade baby powder scented BLUE powder I made. :) (teaser)

Technique Class has two dates each month (a Monday and Wednesday) - check them out and if you have been watching and like what you see, be sure to join the club and get these classes FREE!

Want to Take Your Bigshotting to the Next Level?

Try my NEW Bigshot Club! If you have a bigshot and have been wanting to get beyond punching letters for scrapbooks or simple images for your cards, this is the club for you! Each month we will focus on a die or technique and you will receive a 'diecut' for your ring of ideas (a cut-out of a die/image). Of course you get hostess benefits for one of the months, and the fun of a free monthly class - click here to learn more about the club!!

For February, I threw it open to YOU - my class attendees got to choose their two favourite cards from my Leadership swaps to make, and these were the two you chose! The red hearts card is by Terry Brickmann, and the chocolate gift card holder is by Cathy Parlitsis - thanks for the great cards ladies!

If you would like to drop into this class, click here to learn more and to register for the class only. Otherwise, take a second and learn about the club - it just opened and it's calling YOUR name!!! :)

I'm so sorry for my delay in blogging lately! I have had a bit of a catastrophe happen here - my poor lens on my camera has bit the dust! It died at Leadership a couple of weeks ago, and I've been terrified to take it in, and find out how much it will cost to fix - don't worry, it's on my to-do list this week, but ugh! You don't realize how much you use something like this until it is gone!!

But in the meantime, my projects I've been creating have been backing up a bit, so I have decided to put my perfectionist self away, and post imperfect photos for you until I get my camera fixed - be gentle with me! :)

SO, the very first thing I'm sharing with you are the projects for Wednesday's Quick & Easy Lemon Squeezy Card Class!

I'll be featuring each of these cards over the next couple of days on my blog with further details on how to make them, but the cool thing is that each of these cards uses the same two stampsets!!

Friendly Phrases (one of my favourites from the big catalog), 126151, $17.95 clearmount
Sale-a-Bration, Fresh Vintage, 125117 (FREE with a $60+ order!)

Make sure you get that order in Feb/Mar up high enough that you can get this stampset for free - it's SO pretty!!!!

All of my class attendees on Wednesday will make these three cards with matching envelopes, and an exclusive special that night as well! If you haven't signed up for it yet, be sure you grab a space now!

Also, this Quick & Easy Club members get this class for FREE - if you have been curious about clubs and want to get your toes a bit wet, this is a GREAT club to start with - check out the club option here!!

Announcing a New 'Club' - and you don't even have to leave your house!

2012-02-02T14:07:38-08:00

How excited am I?! If you were at my Open House on Saturday, you know why! Today I am officially announcing my new Club which is quickly becoming one of my most popular offerings - how cool is that?!

Tired of getting junkmail in your mailbox? Want something more FUN to look forward to each month? Join this club, and make checking the mail exciting with 3 stunning handmade cards and a brand new stampset each month!

There is no class associated with this club, so if you are in a remote location (or just don't like to leave your home) you can still participate! As a club member, stampsets are customizable each month (you are given a choice to keep the monthly stampset or replace it with your choice of an equal or lesser value), and you will receive 36 cards over your 12 month club!

Look no further! The Stampset of the Month Club is here! Click on the pic or here to learn more!!

LOVE this idea, and want to try it out for February only? Each month you can purchase the Stampset of the Month collection individually as well - click here to look at February's offering!
