Fisherman Birthday

 

Today is the last day of August and I am posting a group of cards for our challenge-The Catch-up Club!  A few of my stamping friends, Darlene, Jeanette and Terry along with myself, have signed up for a number of virtual stamping events in the past 5+ years.  One of the benefits of these events are that they are available to rewatch or even watch for the first time at a later date as they are all recorded. The 4 of us "try" to watch live and chat by texting during the event.  But, life steps in and there are times when one or more of us are not participating during the live.  Then, the kits from sponsors sits in our stamping area until we are ready to watch the video and create.  During one of the events, we decided we needed to push ourselves (and each other) to get some of these events done!   So--we all decided to devote one day a month, the last day of the month for the somewhat procrastinators that we are, to post cards we missed making. 

 So--here we are in our 39th month of The Catch Up Club!  So, we are now on year #4

Reminder--these are not my own designs!  The cards are the designs of the other instructors from these classes.  I am just recreating the cards from the class. This month the creations are again from Sarah and The Paper Cut.

These masculine birthday cards from a Stripes and Silhouette parts & pieces kit that I recently bought at one of their Comment Sold Sales.  There were enough pieces for 6 cards.  There were 3 full kits, minus the sentiment.  Then, there were enough parts to make 3 more cards.  I picked a birthday sentiment from the Anytime Expressions from Taylored Expression.  I die cut the sentiment from kraft and a backer from black from a coordinating die set called Modern Sentiment Labels. One of these cards is heading to my nephew who lives on a lake for his birthday later this week!

 

Sarah offers many different kinds of classes through the year and kits can be ordered from their website.  I have a few other virtual classes from The Paper Cut that need to be completed.   And, I also have parts of other virtual events and classes from many previous classes!

On a side note, this is the last day for The Paper Cut in Appleton.  Sarah has sold the business to Brass & Bliss, so everything is moving to Tennessee in September.  Sarah still hopes to offer monthly classes with kits, but is not sure yet how everything will go.  It is good that I still have a number of full kits still to complete and I recently got maybe a dozen parts and pieces kits to make also!  I will be busy for a few months and I do hope that Sarah will continue to create kits!

I hope you enjoyed my cards!  Here are the links to the other of the Catch Up Club.  Please be sure to check out Jeanette's, Terry's, and Darlene's blogs.  They may post tomorrow or in the next few days but we have all promised to post cards that we have missed the making along the way!  Come back in September to see what else I am behind on!
