Happy Mail--Happy to be Done!

 

I am done!  These are the last cards from the SCT March virtual event, Crop & Create. These 3 cards are from the Concord & 9th class taught by the talented and so funny, Cathy Zielske 

Reminder--these are not my own designs!  The cards are the designs of the instructors from these classes.  I am just recreating the cards from the class. 

This class used this stamp set, matching dies and an embossing folder called Happy Mail. We stamped the images, did a whole lot of die cutting and used the embossing folder on the three cards. I really like the set--so unique!  And, two of the three cards are pop-up cards, as shown in the second photo.  So Fun!

 

So--I have finished all of the classes from this event.  Now, on to more classes in pouches on my shelf!  More to Come!

Fresh Cut Flowers

 

I am continuing making cards from the SCT March virtual event, Crop & Create. These 2 cards are from the LDRS Creative class taught by Angie Hunt.  

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 class used 2 stamp sets and a mask stencil for each.  The sets were Fresh Cut Tulips and Fresh Cut Daisies.  We did a new to me technique by using the masking stencils--the negatives--when stamping all of the components.  Once everything was stamped we then colored the sweet floral images in the tea cup with Copic Markers.  I really liked this class and now have ordered the matching dies along with layering stencils for both sets!  I added the Best Wishes sentiment from my stash. 

 

I have one more classes to go--hoping it is done by the time this is posted!

I am continuing making cards from the SCT March virtual event, Crop & Create. These 3 cards are from the Altenew class taught by Bridget Casey 

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 class used this stamp set, matching dies, a stencil set and 3D embossing Folder called Floral Laurel. We stamped the images, did ink blending with the stencils and used the embossing folder for all three cards. I really like the florals in this kit.  The sentiments are perfect for sympathy and thinking of you cards so  I am sure I will use this kit often in the future.

 

I have two more classes to go--hoping to finish in the next few days.

New Day Cards

 

Today is the day of May and I am posting a set 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 4+ 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 17th month of The Catch Up Club!

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 from the recent Scrapbook & Cards Today Crop & Create Delivered.  

The set of 3 cards were created by Christopher of  Brutus Monroe.  The set is called New Day and includes a stamp set, coordinating dies, a stencil and some rub-ons that work with all of them.

I have a few more classes from this event and hope to finish them soon..........

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 today, but we have all promised to post cards that we have missed the making along the way!

The set of 4 cards were created by Taylor of Taylored Expressions.  The set she used is a Crete-in-Quads called Flit & Flutter and includes the stencils and coordinating dies. I have also purchased some Foil-it panels that match.  The ink colors I used are my Taylored Expressions ink pads.

The second set of cards are from Gina of Gina K Designs.  The class was called Over The Edge Cards and we used the Hand-picked Flowers bunde with included a stamp set, coloring stencils and dies. I used Gina K ink cubes for all three of the cards.

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 class was called Birthday Bonanza and was taught by the very talented and funny Cathy Zielske.

We received a fun bundle for the class.  Our kit included the Birthday Bonanza Stamp Set, Matching Dies and Stencils.  We also got 4 C9 ink cubes!  I love the card Cathy demoed and she also showed us some additional cards at the end of the class.  I think my favorite part is the cover plate with the leaves and balloons--too cute!  These will for sure be used in the future!

I am so happy to be finished with all of the classes!  I just found one packet left from the fall 2023 Simon Hurley class, so that will be next on my list.   Then, I need to tackle some of the Pinkfresh Studio Create and Connect events I too have pouches on my bookcase!

I am continuing to work through the pouches with classes from the Fall SCT Crop and Create Delivered event. Today I am showing the three cards from the Simon Hurley for Ranger Class.  

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 class was called Astro Paste Techniques and was taught by the very talented Simon Hurley

We received a fun penguin stamp and die set along with a stencil for the class. Plus we got a fun rubber stamp strip called Confetti along with 2 tubs of Astro Paste--I love that stuff!!!!!!  We did a few different techniques with the stencil and the Frostbite and Clear Skies Astro Paste. We watercolored the penguins, using inks and a paintbrush, after embossing the images.   I know I will use the sweet penguins in the future along with the stencils--and the Astro Paste for sure!

I have just 1 pouch left and I know I will be done by the end of the year.  Then, I need to tackle some of the Pinkfresh Studio Create and Connect events I too have pouches on my bookcase!

Whimsical Greetings

 

For the past few weeks, I have been making cards from kits that I have sitting in  pouches in my stamp room.  I have a few kits from the Scrapbook and Cards Virtual Events called Crop & Create Delivered.  These three cards are from fall of 2022!  Yes, they have been in my room for a long time...................  This class was taught by Jenn Shurkus, called Whimsical Greetings and features Lawn Fawn products.

These 3 cards use the Sunny Squirrels Stamp and matching die set.  It also used the Lawn Fawn Sunflower Greetings Die set.  The patterned papers are also from Lawn Fawn.  They sure are cute cards as so many of the Lawn Fawn products feature cute creatures!  Now I have a few thank you cards to add to my stash!

Reminder--these are not my own designs!  These cards are the designs from Jenn Shurkus!   I am just recreating the cards from the class.
