Snowflake glitter paper!

This card is so stunning.  I just love the simple clean look.  The snowflakes cut out from the champagne glitter paper is so beautiful.  I hope you enjoy this one.  I like it again because when you are making so many cards at one time, this is one that you can do quickly and easily.   Janice

On A Roll Over Glimmer Paper

This next card is so simple but so elegant.  I just love it.  I hope you do too.  I just recently got the ornament framelits from SU.  I was refraining but could not resist when SU came out with the special.  If you have not gotten the ornament framelits now is the time.  It is a great deal.

The ornament is using the champagne glitter paper again.  Did I tell you I love this paper?........
I also love this embossing folder (page 6 in the holiday catalog).  It is $7.95.  It is so beautiful.
I used Night of Navy for the card stock and the ribbon.  What a simple card for you to make for your
Christmas cards.  Janice

Bird Christmas Card

This was a mistake made into a gorgeous card.  I meant to use the embossing folder to make the line across.  Oops I used the framelit.  So I decided to just separate the two pieces and show some of the cherry cobbler card stock underneath.  What do you think of the mistake?

Penguin Walk

This was my card for the shoebox swap.  My friend Jaylyn loves penguin.  She found a penguin on line (sorry I cannot remember who it was).  I then decided to change it a little and make it a little Santa because I need to use my silver glimmer paper!!!

I love my bow.  My idea was to look something like a beautiful package.  Of course it is so easy to use the googly eyes.  The googly eyes are not just for Halloween.  This is another card that will be at my Christmas Card Buffet.  Have you signed up yet?

If you have not been on the SU website recently you might not be aware of the sale rack.  They have lots of items on it.  But many items will go fast.  So hurry over there and get your favorite items.  Remember to put my name as your demonstrator.  Thanks Janice

Thanksgiving Card

Turkey Day is one month a way.  At the shoebox swap on last Saturday this was one of the cards we made.  I liked that it was using punches.  I am a punch freak.  I love punch art.  It is a fun challenge for me to try to make cards using SU punches. 

The feathers are using the designer label punch. 

I love Thanksgiving Day because it is a day that everybody talks positive about what they are thankful for.  So often in our lives we focus on the negative.  This is a day we can smile and say Thank You and truly mean it.  Too bad Thanksgiving Day isn't every month so at least once a month we are grateful for the wonderful things we have.  Janice

Holiday Boots

Hi My Friends

Well I worked on this next card at Vickie's house on Saturday afternoon.  The boot stamp set was one I was not going to get.  But..... there have been sooo many great cards made for all the different seasons I had to have it.  I did the Fall Witch's boot.  Now I have warm fuzzy girlie boots.

So what do you think? I have a friend that is a shoe crazy lady.  She just loves fun shoes.  This reminded me of her.  Note - the champagne glimmer paper.  I love that paper.

I will be using this card in my Christmas Card Buffet.  So make sure you let me know you are interested in signing up for it.  Janice

Man Card

Hi My Stamping Friends

Yesterday I was stamping with some of my SU demo friends.  We get together once a quarter for a shoebox swap.  We each bring a card already for each of us to make it.  It is me getting to go to a stamp camp.  It is so much fun!!!!
Well Amy had a great Man Card.  I do not have this stamp set, but........  I might have to get it.

 Isn't this just a great man card.  I love the the use of the Designer Series Paper.  I enjoy adding the holes around the vanilla piece.  It is so easy to put the holes in with SU Paper Piercing Pack (page 30 of the holiday catalog).  It makes it so easy and look so great. 

I will share more of the fun cards we made later this week.  Janice

Kids in the snow

I love watching the kids playing in the snow.  They make such great snow angels!!  Back in my day we did not use inner tubes.  Our butts got sore!!!!  We had the wooden sleds and toboggan.  We all hated hauling that big toboggan back up.  But it was fun to go down with so many people on it.  OK so I'm dating myself.  I do have fond memories of my dad making what seemed like a huge mound of snow for us in our backyard.  It was safer and mom could see us by looking out the window!  She did not have to freeze watching us.
The next card is made with those cute kids from "Wonderful Winterland".  I just fell in love with that set.   It is in the holiday catalog on page 8.

 This is the front of the card.  It is almost impossible to see that I have Night of Navy as the main card in this picture.  I love that I used the Delicate Doilles Sizzlit.  I love love love that.  It is so easy and looks so nice with so many cards, scrapbook pages.  If you do not have that you are missing out.

You can see I incorporated the little skater from the set at the bottom.  He fits nicely in the new small scallop circle punch.  Did you know we have that punch?  It is a wonderful addition to any stamper.

Here is a close up of the kid having a blast going down the hill so fast.  Can't you just feel that air flying?

I added the blue jean ribbon which just made this card really be for a boy.  On the inside I put the little guy making a snow angel........  So darn cute.



Hope you enjoyed this one.  Janice

HO HO HO

Hard to believe that the holidays are right around the corner.  I don't like to push the time fast.  But it sure does creep up on me.  When the main catalog first came out back in July.....  I bought  the stamp set called Embellished Events (page 40).  I made a number of cards using that set.  It is a very versatile set.  I usually will separate the words from the main image on a stamp set.  I like to use the words but not always in the same location as how some of the stamp sets come.  So with this set I cut off the HO HO HO from the stocking hat.  Here is what I made.

It is a very simple card.  I used the embossed natural paper again.  I do really like it.  Especially the one with the musical notes on it.  Janice

Need a cupcake?

Hi Stamping Friends

OK so the next card I made awhile ago.  But I just love this cards.  I hope you do too.

Keeping calm as I have been writing papers for my class I am taking........ Not a chance.  I was so stressed out.  Well this card makes sense to me. 





 Yes I think a cupcake would have helped.....
 

Only 2 more weeks and this class is completed.  Then I have one more class after the holidays.  What was I thinking to go back to school.  I would rather spend my time stamping.........  That is a no brainer.

I would be happy to do this card at a private class for you.  Just contact me and we can set up the day and time. 

Have a stamping good day.  Janice

Christmas Card Buffet

Good Evening My Stamping Friends
I am sorry I have not gotten on to share anything with you.  I have been busy with my card buffet event.  It went GREAT!!!!  Everyone was very happy with it.  They want it again.  So I am getting Christmas cards ready for November's Christmas Card Buffet.  The dates will be:

 Here is a sample of one card I have made for it today.

 I just love those gingerbread men.  They are so cute and so easy to make.  Stamp and use SU framelit and it is ready to be put on your card.  I colored in the buttons on the boy gingerbread man (the one with the bow).  I then colored in the frosting lace on the little girl.  She has a red bow with a rhinestone in the middle.  The bow is made with the heart from the owl punch.
Love love love the naturals embossed cardstock!!!  I have not used it as much.  I keep saving it.  For what I don't know.

The color did not come out well in the picture.  The red is Cherry Cobbler.  The ribbon is Midnight Muse.
I look forward to making more fun Holiday cards for the Christmas Card Buffet.

Yes winter cards again

I'm sorry but I had so much fun playing with my winter sets last weekend.  This first card I saw by someone else and added my own style to it.  I am sorry I do not know who it was.  But I loved loved loved the concept.  It is using pearls for the snowballs!!!

The main card is midnight muse (in color) then bashful blue with the polka dot embossing folder.  I stamped the snowmen which are in that favorite Holiday Catalog on page 9 called Frosty Friends.  I just love this set.  It is a single stamp so it is not expensive.  After I stamped it I put the frame lit on top of it and ran it through the Big Shot.  The frame lit is called Apothecary Accents.  It has 4 shapes that are so unique and useful.  I added the 3 1/2" scalloped tulle ribbon in cherry cobbler.  It gave it that added texture.  That too is in the Holiday Catalog.  I got out my glitter brads that I have not used in awhile and added them to continue the sparkle I think of with snowmen.  I also added our dazzling details to the snow on the ground and a little on the snowmen.  I think of the snow glistening after people have been able to go out and make snowmen.  I hope you enjoy this one too. 

After you have been out making your snowmen, you must come in and have some hot chocolate!!!  Well this combined using the Sensational Season stamp set for the mug (done in Melon Mambo) and Make a Mitten (done in Pretty in Pink).  Kids get in so much trouble for losing their mittens.  I always think how much trouble I would be in for the times I have left my mittens or gloves somewhere....... 
The bottom of the card is using the Silver Glimmer Paper.  Then I pulled out my dusty wheel handle and used it with the wheel that goes with the Make a Mitten called Nicely Knit.  I loaded the ink from my Melon Mambo pad and wheeled it slowly so I could keep it straight.  It turned out so good that I did it again on the inside of the card.  I used SU dimensional to pop the mittens.  Oh I forgot to mention I stamped the mittens, then folded the piece so I could punch both mittens out at the same time with that great mitten builder punch.  With SU Whisper White card stock it punched nicely. 
Maybe I should go have a cup of hot chocolate even though it is not winter yet.  Janice

Birthday Card

The card today I am showing you is from a good friend Sarah.  I have to tell you I love elephants.  I find them fascinating.  But with a birthday hat on........  I did not think I would ever like this set.  We got it FREE at SU convention this year.  It is called You're Amazing.  Well I was not excited to say the least about this set.  But as I have seen more and more cards made with this set, yes I did fall in love with it.  So when Sarah had this card for us to make at a meeting last month, I knew this would have to be CASED by me soon.  So it will be in one of my events coming up.  But I thought I would share it with you today.

She used Summer Starfruit (in color) for the main card stock.  Many of you have been like me not wild about this color.  I do like it with a few colors but I don't like it to be the dominate color.  In this card I think it is just right.  I love the satin ribbon in Summer Starfruit.  That I use often.  You cannot see it well in the picture but if you look closely you will be able to.  She used the new circle templates for paper piercing (in main catalog).  She just did about a 1/4 of the circle.  It just adds that little something.  I also love that the piece of card stock behind the elephant is at a slant.  I did not take a picture of the inside.  But it has the card stock that the saying is on, on a slant also.  Again that little extra makes it so perfect.
Hope you liked this card today.  A little short but gotta run.  Janice

Winter Memories

As I told you yesterday, I spent time making cards using this wonderful stamp set called Winter Memories.  If you have not gotten it yet you are missing out on a great set.  I know it is difficult to make winter cards when we are wanting it to stay Fall feeling.  But you need to get your holiday cards done or you will run with your head cut off like every other year trying to find time to get them done and out in time.......  Sound familiar?
Well here are two cards I made using the early espress core'dination card stock.  It goes through the Big Shot and comes out so beautiful.  I sanded both of them to give that vintage feel. 
The cardinal one is using the wood grain embossing folder.  I used a blender pen to get the shading on the door and sled.  In case you missed them, SU has brushed bronze buttons in the Holiday Catalog on page 32.  I missed them the first few times I went through that wonderful catalog.  So in case you missed them check them out.  I used one on the cardinal card.  The 1/4" stitched grosgrain real red ribbon went through it very easily.  And I think it turned out gorgeous.

I also have used the More Merry Messages stamp set for many of my holiday cards.  It is a great set to have on hand as you make your holiday cards.  There are many good sayings for the different kinds of people you send cards to.  You will find that stamp set in the main catalog in the holiday section.

Here is the next card.  It reminds me of professional ice skaters because of the color of the skates.  I used soft suede to blend the skates.  The main card is made with our in color Raspberry Ripple.  The little bit of Raspberry Ripple satin ribbon just adds that little touch it needed.  What do you think?  OK so I used the Silver Dazzle Marker again......  I just love it.....  Really....  The embossing folder is in the Holiday Catalog (can you tell I love so much in that catalog!).  It is called Holiday Frame Embossing Folder on page 7.  Note the top and bottom of the frame is slightly different.  Either one can be on the top or bottom.  I just wanted to point out how much I have inspected this....

I hope you are at least starting to think about your holiday cards.  I would love to help you get your cards done ahead of time.  Contact me and we can set up a time for us to stamp so you don't get interrupted. 
Janice

Too early for snowmen!

Hi Stampers

Well this past weekend I spent most of Saturday making cards for my display board at Camp Stamp In Oga.  The set I am using is "Winter Memories".  Like I said yesterday, I love this set.  As you will see I have made a number of cards that are simple to make yet beautiful!!!  I hope you agree.  Send me a comment and see what happens.........

Both cards use the Northern Flurries embossing folder.  It is difficult to see in the picture that I used Frost White Shimmer Paint on the snowflakes.  I used a sponge that I cut up into pieces.  In person it does sparkle.  On the skate card I added the rhinestones to the middle of each snowflake.  On the snowmen one I added a small pearl.
On the skates I used the new Silver Dazzle Marker on the blades.  I have looked for years for a "good" metalic marker for the holidays.  Well SU has come out with the BEST!!!!!  You will find them on page 19 of the Holiday Catalog.  The skate card is using one of my favorite color combinations, Pretty in Pink and Basic Gray.  It is so soft and delicate looking.
I have a love of snowmen.  As long as I don't have to be too cold.  I love to look at them, build them and admire them.  This is such a nice stamp set included in the Winter Memories set.  Now who does not remember making snowmen?  You must have lived in the south.  You missed out on great times.  Even though now that I am older...... I would rather be in the warm dry weather.  But I am here and I will continue to enjoy the snowmen from my car or window.
Take care and have a super great day.  Janice

Camp Stamp In Oga

Good morning.  I am up bright and early getting this updated for you.
Camp Stamp In Oga what is this you ask........
Well a number of years ago at SU convention three of us local demonstrators were sharing a hotel room with another friend from Texas.  We do this almost every year.  Each year we spend one night (and lots of moments along the way) talking about what we want to do to improve our business.  Well that year we decided to work together and offer a Stamp Camp for all of our customers.   This included supporting our downline too.  We started out calling it "Stamp In".  People came and we had 5 demonstrators that ran a table for 8 people making a card or 3D item.  We offer this quarterly.  We also included a Rubber Rummage sale of all our retired items on the other side of the room.  We rented from a church.  Within a few times we were having to turn people away.  We just could not hold that many people.
As of now we rent a large room and adjacent area and a room upstairs at the Wild Wood Lodge in PeeWaukee, WI.  We have added times to come and stamp, craft, and scrapbook.  Now you can spend your entire weekend enjoying the things we all love to do best.  STAMP.  You can choose from 1-3 days.  Friday afternoon thru evening is open stamping.  Sunday morning thru afternoon is open stamping.  Saturday morning is the Stamp Card portion where we get most of our stampers to come.  Then in the afternoon and evening we offer open stamping along with some break out classes.  It has been a huge success.  Our stampers love that we bring all of our ink pads, punches, dies, embossing folders, Big Shot, etc. for them to use.  They just need to bring their own card stock and adhesive.  It makes it a lot easier for our customers to come without bringing their entire stamping supplies.
When we moved it to the Wild Wood Lodge we decided to rename the event.  The Lodge is very woods and outdoor decorated so we decided it was like girl scout camping.  So we named it Camp Stamp In Oga.  We call out for "mail call" and people staying for Saturday afternoon get a special gift!!!  Those that stayed Friday night get a special gift and again for Sunday.   We love giving out gifts.
This time I will be one of the demonstrators doing a card.  Here is the card I will be doing.

I love love love this stamp set.  It is called Winter Memories.  It is on page 19 of the Holiday Catalog.  The skates reminded me of my childhood.  I skated down the street at my elementary school.  Back in those days they flooded our grass area and made it into an ice rink.  Now I'm dating myself.  But seriously those were such wonderful times.  Skating with boys (Oh MY!!)
OK back to the card.  The card is using our champagne glimmer paper.  OHHHHH that is so beautiful.  The fold is called Double Dutch Doors.  It is actually very easy to make this fold.  I hope you will join us for at least part of the weekend.  You will make beautiful cards and can take pictures of all the displays each demonstrator has up.  We all work very hard to make this a special event for everyone.

For more information go to our website www.CampStampInOga.com.  I look forward to seeing you at this event.  Janice

Boo!

I love Halloween for the fun and laughter.  I do not like scarey movies, but as a kid I loved going to the scarey looking houses.  Maybe you can relate to me about how it was safe for us to go trick or treating at night....  I remember going for hours.  We would walk so far.  Come home and empty out some of our candy so it looked like we had just started trick or treating.  We were sneaky. 
But now I love the colors that are so vibrant at Halloween.  At this time of year, witches are fun to talk about and see.  I love all the flying witches hanging in stores.  My friend has one that she hangs up in her work.  It is so cool. 
Well my SU demo friend Cheryl made this card while I was with her.  She thought it was as she called it "a Clown Card".  I loved it.  It is really easy to make.  She used the Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin' Pad found on page 23 of the Holiday catalog.  She used it to make the smoke coming out of the chimney and on the roof.  I loved this non traditional looking card.  As time went on Cheryl now loves the card too! 

Don't you just love this card?  The blue card stock is our midnight muse in color.  I am so glad she made it. 

I hope you are getting your Halloween cards, etc completed.  Tomorrow is October already!  Yikes time is flying.  Janice

Last sneak peak

Good afternoon my stamping friends
I have a picture of my last 2 cards for the CARD BUFFET.  Remember you must RSVP for this class.  It is filling up so contact me soon.  I still have openings for all 3 sessions.  But you don't want to be too late and not get in.  The dates are Thursday, Oct. 11th from 1-4:30pm or Friday, Oct. 12th from 6:30-10pm or Saturday, Oct. 13th from 1-4:30pm.  The cost is $10 for 5 cards.  Any additional cards you make will be $1.50 per card.  You may make up to 3 of one design.  Now I am sure you will like more than one of the cards I have designed.......

These last two cards were chosen because I know many of you like birthday cards.  These would make great birthday cards.  I will have a few different sayings for you to choose from.  So you can make it whatever kind of card you are needing at this time.

Many of my cards are cards you can easily reproduce at home.  I try to do that so you can make more when you need (or want) to.  I know that if it takes too much time we don't tend to make many.
Recently I got a card from a friend and it was so wonderful that I was already tearing up before I knew what the card was for.  I know I get teary easily when I am happy.  So some of you might not be like me.  But I do know I get friends that tell me how much joy they get when they receive a hand made card.  I kindda like it when they tell me at first they could not tell it was hand made!
Life is busy.  But taking a moment to send someone a card to say you were thinking of them does so much for you and your friend.  Take the time to send someone a card by Monday.  Yes I'm challenging you.....  Let me know how it feels.  Janice

Headbands

Hi Stamping Friends
Today I am going to show you the headbands I made for St. Ed's Vendor Fair.  They were a big hit.  I sold them quite easily.  I only have 3 left.  They were very easy to make.

This is what some of them looked like.  I bought the headband itself.  Then I used the Big Shot to cut out the flowers.  I added some of SU fabric adhesive so I could layer them easily and back them.  I used SU ribbon to hold everything together.  I was thinking of little girls wearing them and I did not want them to come apart and risk a choking accident.  The ribbon actually goes right through the headband.  It was interesting because it ended up that adults bought them for themselves.  I had one girl about 14 that came and showed me how great hers looked on her.  She was so excited.
Stampin' Up's Big Shot is a must in any stampers house.  I use mine all the time.  If you would like to get one for half price contact me and we can get started on that.  Janice

Boots are made for walking

OK so boots are made for walking.  But these boots are made for a great card.  Here is another peak at 2 more cards we will be doing at the CARD BUFFET on either Oct. 11th, 12th or 13th.

  

This boot card is too darn cute.  You will want to make it a few times.  And best part of all it is not difficult to make.
The gratitude card is another great card for all those people that you want to let them know how much you appreciate them.  I will also show you tricks on how to make the leaf come out perfect.  You will be stamping and using the Big Shot with this card.  A simple but clean looking card if I do say so myself.
Off to my day job.  I hope you are enjoying this.  I know I am.  Janice

Vendor Fair

Last weekend I was at St. Ed's Fall Festival.  I participated in the vendor fair portion of it.  We were inside so we stayed nice and warm.  I had a great time seeing some of you at the event.  I met some very nice people and hope that many of them will contact me to attend some of my events.
I had fun making some fun packages.   The one that was the hit was the one that had the boot on it.  It was one of those stamp sets I was not going to buy when I first saw it.  Then I saw all the fun things people made with it and well.....  I had to have it.  It has been so much fun to make cards with it.  The little holder I made with the boot on it had pixie stixs in it.  The kids walking by all wanted their parent to buy it for them.  And some got there wish.
Here are a few pictures of my booth.

  

  

I put the bags through the big shot using the embossing folders.  The spider web was my favorite.  You can also see on the bottom of the picture the candy corn that I punched out using the pennant punch.  It worked so great.  You can make lots of them quickly.  Go try it.

  

  

As you can see I also put the brown paper bags through the big shot too.  It does so much for the look....
Have a super great day.  I hope it includes stamping.....  Janice

Another sneak peak

Have you been looking forward to the next sneak peak?  I hope so.  I got a few responses already for this event.  So time is a ticking.  Here is the next sneak peak.

So I am not only doing Fall cards.  I am doing a few Christmas cards.  I just love these two cards.  OK so I was not going to let anyone do the cardinal card because I love it so much I was going to save it for my Christmas card.  But I just love it and I want to share with you.  That is what I do is create and share!  You cannot see it in the photo but it does have sparkle to it.  I used the shimmer paint with some rubbing alchol.  It works so great and dries so fast.
The second card is using the new embossing folder that SU came out with.  I also used the new coordination card stock and sanded it gently.  Then I added with a dauber the glimmer paint on the edge.  OHHHHH it looks so beautiful.  I also added some dazzling details on the red flowers.  You will love these two cards too.

Janice

CARD BUFFET EVENT

Good evening my stamping friends

I have a new event that I am hoping many of you will attend.  I will be posting pictures of the 8 cards I have designed for this event.  You will need to check back every few days to see more of them.  I'm just tempting you a little at a time.  Here is the first 2 cards.

I love the colors of Autumn.  My favorite color is orange.  In Stampin' Up I love Pumpkin Pie.  It goes with so many things.  Plus I love Pumpkin Pie, Custard and just about anything else pumpkin related.......
These two cards are fun fall cards.  I love the simplicity of the leaves card.  I am a clean look stamper more often than not.  The inside is also decorated but you will need to come to the Card Buffet to see what is inside!
Those of you that know me well, know I love my cats.  Squee and Clay.  They are so much fun to watch play.  Sometimes Squee gets a little rough for Clay.  Clay has a certain cry that says OK I have had enough.  Squee does stop.  Squee has been with us longer so he rules or at least thinks he rules.
The cat card has the googlie eyes on it.  I just love that SU has come out with the right size eyes.  It was so frustrating to look for googlie eyes before.  I always found them too big or too many sizes in one package.  Still have them sitting in a drawer......  Now this cat card could be for Halloween but it could also be a Fall card or birthday card for someone who's birthday is in the Fall.
So here is just a sneak peak at 2 of the 8 cards I have designed for the CARD BUFFET which will take place at my house on:
Thursday, Oct. 11th from 1-4:30pm or
Friday, Oct. 12th from 6:30-10pm or
Saturday, Oct. 13th from 1-4:30pm
How this event will work is you must RSVP for this class.  The cost is $10.  This will be for your first 5 cards.  You can choose the day of the event which cards you want to make.  You can make up to 3 of any design.  After the first 5 cards you will be charged $1.50 per additional cards that you make.  Example - if you make 8 cards you will be charged $14.50.  If you make 6 cards you will be charged $11.50.
There are 5 basic rules for this event.

1. You must RSVP for the class.
2. You must only make 3 of any design.
3. You must bring your own adhesive.
4. You must be kind to everyone stamping.
5. You must have fun and laugh.

So what are you waiting for RSVP today.  janiceborchart@yahoo.com

I'm waiting.....  Janice

Stamping and Sharing with Friends

Hi Stamping Friends

Welcome to my new blog.  I just got back from Stampin' Up Convention in Salt Lake City!  I had a blast with my friends.  It has been a great experience to be part of Stampin' Up.  I have been with Stampin' Up for 8 years now.  My cards have gotten more beautiful.  My ability to help you have a great SU party or class has improved 100%.  You have got to come and experience the changes.  So many things have changed since I first started with SU.  The best part is that this year it is only $99 to become a SU demonstrator.  Now that is a deal!!!  I don't understand how people cannot sign up.  If you are a hobby stamper you too can sign up.  You only have to spend $100 a month or $300 a quarter.  Now with a few friends helping it is very easy to spend that.  And you get 20% profit from the $300!  So really you are only spending $260 a quarter.  Go to the SU website and locate Janice Borchart as your demonstrator and you can sign up on line easy peasy.....  There is no commitment to how long you stay active.  No penalties.  No hassles.  But you get a Success Magazine every month with lots of ideas and techniques.  You get to purchase new product before it is available to your customers.  You get access to the SU demonstrator website with lots of information and ideas and pictures, etc.  Join my team and I will help lead you to fun.

I will be posting pics of cards I do in classes.  I do classes in my home.  I have turned one of our bedrooms into a stamping classroom and another one into my stamping studio.  So we have a fun classroom to stamp in.  My classes are fun and appealing to all levels of stampers.  My next class is Wednesday, August 8th.  The class is 3 cards that you make doubles of each for $12.  Time for stamping is anywhere between 3 and 8:30pm.  You can arrive at a time that best works for you.  I will be posting one of the cards by Tuesday of this week.  You will need to RSVP by the Sunday before class.

I am offering Personal Classes for you and up to 5 other friends.  You contact me with the date you would like the "Personal Class".  The class will be 3 cards for $6.  All you need to do is contact me and we can get the date set.

Have a super day stamping my friends.  Janice
