Card Buffet Class - Tues & Wed, Aug 28 & 29

Here are a few of the cards you can choose to make at the Card Buffet Class this week on Tuesday or Wednesday, August 28 and 29!  I think I have an additional 15 cards to choose from as well!  Also, if the sentiments on these (or any of the Buffet Cards) are not what you're looking for, we can always find a sentiment that will work for you - just let me know at class!

I'm kind of in the mood for fall, so this card makes me happy!!  I found the idea while browsing Stampin' Connection - thanks Connie Tumm!!  It features a Soft Suede card base and the new Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper.  We also had fun playing with the new Scentsational Seasons Stamp set and coordinating Holiday Collection Framelit dies - they are perfect for stamping that hot chocolate mug and die-cutting it with precision!!  The "Thank You" sentiment is from the Blooming with Kindness stamp set, a beautiful stamp set from the Annual Catalog.

Blooming with Kindness  wood-mount  126420  $22.95

Blooming with Kindness  clear-mount  126422  $16.95

This next card (that I made a similar version of at Ronda Wade's Baggie Book event earlier this summer) also features the Comfort Cafe Designer Series paper.  We also used the new Delicate Designs Impression Folder along the bottom of the card - I think it's the perfect compliment to the paper above!  The sentiment and pretty flowers (stamped in the new In Color, Midnight Muse) are from the Embellished Events stamp set, another fun set in the Annual Catalog.  The final touches are the Midnight Muse Dahlia and the pearls - what a pretty card!

Delicate Designs Textured Impressions Embossing Folders  127023  $8.95

Embellished Events Stamp Set  clear-mount  126497  $20.95

This next card is a CASE from Ronda Wade - this was her convention swap this year.  I didn't have the DSP color she used, so I changed it up a bit.  I love how she used the Orament Punch to make the strawberry, and then the leaves on the strawberry are from the Bird Punch.  We also used the Chevron Embossing Folder on the white card stock and tied a simple Wild Wasabi 1/4" Stitched Grograin "cheater" bow to add a little accent.  The sentiment "Sending Many Thanks" is from the Petite Pairs Stamp Set.  It's such a sweet card - send it to someone sweet!!

Of course, I had to do a Mary Fish card this month - the hardest part is choosing which one to do!!  I loved this card the minute I saw it.  Plus...  I love that, with the purchase of this Stamp Set, Moving Forward, Stampin' Up will donate $3 to the Ronald McDonald House Charities.  And... that tricycle is too fun - I wish I could ride it!!  This card also features the Chevron Embossing Folder and the Scallop Square Duo Bigz Die, as well as the Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper.

Here is one more card using the Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper - like I said, I was in the mood for fall and this paper just says "fall" to me :).  I found this card on Stampin Connection as well - thanks to Jen Mitchell for her simple, but beautiful, card!  We used the new Elegant Butterfly punch and then layered it on the largest die cut from the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die.  A few strips of coordinating colors - Pool Party, Cajun Craze and Summer Starfruit - and this card is about complete!!  The final touch - the sentiment - Thinking of You.... is from the Thoughts & Prayers Stamp set.

Scrapbook Class/Club - Tuesday, August 28

Here are the fun summer pages we'll be doing next Tuesday, August 28 at Scrapbook Class/Club!  Please let me know if you'd like to join us!  Just email me at amy.frillici@yahoo.com or call (989) 330-0259.  These pages are too fun..... and perfect for some fun in the sun/water pictures!!

These first two pages were inspired by a scrapbook layout I saw at Jill Hilliard's blog, http://jill031070.blogspot.com/.  We started with a Real Red base and add LOTS of color with the Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper. 

We created some "waves" at the bottom of the page with the Large Scallop Edgelit die with the Big Shot. 

The "clouds" were created with the Cupcake Builder punch - love that idea!!  Finally, we added the "SPLASH" with the new Typeset Alphabet Bigz Dies- these dies create perfect letters every time and can be used in so many applications!!

Summer Smooches DSP  125409  $10.95

 

Large Scallop Edgelit  127019  $7.95

 

Cupcake Punch  121807  $16.95

Typeset Alphabet Bigz Die  127553  $89.95

This third page for the month features the Floral District Designer Series Paper, which was the inspiration for the colors on this page (Rich Razzleberry, Lucky Limeade and Daffodil Delight). We added a strip of Lucky Limeade 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon - I am really going to miss this In-Color ribbon when it's gone next June!! - and then a thin strip of Daffodil Delight card stock cut with the Scallop Edge Border punch.  

I tried to get a close-up of the flower on the top right of the page because I was really proud of how this turned out - apparently, I shouldn't be too proud of my photo-taking skills because I couldn't get a picture to turn out well enough to include on my blog...!  Anyway, I used one of the Paper Daisies Accents and stamped the big flower image from the Betsey's Blossoms Stamp set on it in Lucky Limade ink - this stamp coordinates perfectly with the flowers on the DSP!!  Then,  I used a sponge dauber and added some Rich Razzleberry ink to one of the smaller paper flowers and put it all together with a Lucky Limeade brad - what fun!!  You'll just have to come to class and make one to see how cool they are!!

This card starts with a Very Vanilla card base, then a layer of Soft Suede, then another layer of Very Vanilla that is embossed at the bottom with the Delicate Designs Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  The greeting, stamped in Soft Suede, is from the Greetings of the Season Stamp set in the Holiday Catalog.  I just love the soft, rich look of this card - how about you??

Isn't this last card cute??  It was so much fun to make, too!!  We start with a Cherry Cobbler card base (my all-time favorite holiday color!!) and add a layer of DSP from the Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack.  This is a 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" stack of 48 sheets of DSP (4 each of 12 different double-sided designs), so it's a perfect variety of designs to choose from - see how different the cards look with the two that I chose??

 

 

We stamped the cute mug from the Scentsational Season Stamp set and die-cut it with the coordinating Holiday Collection Framelit Dies.  These items also come in a bundle and are 15% off the total price when you purchase both.  We then mounted it on the Labels Collection Framelit and stamped the "Christmas Cheer" sentiment from the Sweet Essentials stamp set on the flag below - what fun :).  I'd love to receive a card like this in the mail, wouldn't you??
