January 2015 Class Cards

The first class of the new year is on January 10, 2015.  These are the four cards that we will be making.  The first two are a sneek peek of new Stampin Up products.

December Card Class

These are the cards we will be making in the December 13, 2014 card class at my home.

Catty Event Swap

Stampin' Up is unveiling there new minis on December 3, 2014.  This event is for demonstrators only and is in select cities around the US.  The closest on to me is in Charlotte and I am about an hour and a half away.  My friends and fellow demonstrators Sandy Herman and Pat Wilkinson are picking me up and we are meeting about 9 other demonstrators for dinner at the Bradshaw Social Club.  We are also going to do a swap before the event which begins at 8 PM and this is my swap card for the event.

Christmas Stamp a Stack 2

Had to make more kits and came up with these cards.

November Woo Hoo Stampers Swap

The theme for this months swap was winter/winter holiday so I came up with this card.

Christmas Stamp A Stack

In my home in Granite Falls NC on November 15, 2014 I will be hosting a Christmas Stamp a Stack.  There will be 5 designs and you will make 2 of each card.  The price for this event is $20.  If you are not in the area or can't make the class kits will be available for you to purchase for $20 all you have to do is put the cards together.  Contact me if you need more information or would like to attend.

Woo Hoo Stampers Swap

My NY group meets on Saturday, October 18. 2014 I hate not being there but I have taken part in the swaps since I moved to NC almost 8 years ago.  The challenge this month was to use one of the thinlt cards the circle, label or snowflake from SU.  I have the label one and so I used it to create this card for the swap.

The open version is below.

October Class

My next class is October 11, 2014 and I have added this card to the line up.  If you want to see the other 3 cards we are making go to my September class, that class was cancelled so they will now be part of Octobers class.

Taylorsville Quarterly Meeting September 19-20, 2014

Last night was the beginning of the Taylorsville QM and we had a great time today we will be working on more projects and I can't wait.  These get togethers are so much fun.

  This is my shoebox swap card and what you can't see is the sparkle from the Dazzling details.

 This is the general swap card.  I just love this new stamp set Making Spirits Bright

The gift card swap is the other swap I signed up for and when you open this the inside slides up to present you with the gift card.

One of the contests I entered was Blast From the Past.  I used the retired Flowers of the Month stamp set.  The other contest I entered is the Christmas Card and that will be featured in my October card making class so I will show it to you then.

September Woo Hoo Stampers Swap

The theme for this swap was to use the Stampin Up Owl Punch but don't make an owl.  Challenging my first thought was to go with the tulips but as I was playing around my son told me it looked like the ghosts from the Pac-Man game so I came up with this card.  Put it on Daffodil Delight card because the machine in the arcades that were the game were yellow.

September Class Cards

My next class is September 12 & 13 these are the cards we will be making.

Southern Belles September Swap

The new Holiday Mini will be available on August 28, 2014 so I made this sneak peak for my North Carolina Stampin Up demo group.  It uses the new Festival of Trees Stamp Set and Punch and the Trim a Tree DSP pack.

Woo Hoo Stampers August Swap

I did a very simple card for this swap.  Not only did I do it as a birthday card but for the swap I did it as a Thanksgiving card. 

August Class Cards

These are the cards we will be making on August 9 at my class.

Woo Hoo Stampers 3-D Swap

My swap is cased.  The one I copied was done by JoAnne Hewins and I loved it so much that it was perfect for this swap hers was Red, White and Blue and these colors are just perfect for the 3-D swap. 

July Class Cards--Lots of Folds

Loving all the things in the new catty and besides showcasing them decided to redo some of favorites and make them new.  So this months class theme is folds.

This is a stand alone card it opens from the back and reworked from old pattern that had to be cut out.

Flip Flap Card open on flap and then there is another to open

Open version

This is a flap card again it was reworked from an old pattern and again nothing had to be measured and cut out.

Card when open.

Double pocket card made from one 8 1/2 X 11 inch sheet of paper and only one cut rest it all in the folding.

July Southern Belles Swap

This month's Southern Belle swap is a double pocket card made from an 8 1/2 X 11 piece of cardstock.  Great for putting in a gift tag and for my fellow demonstrators I added a Lottery scratch off.  Hope one of them is a big winner.

Shoebox Swap

The last shoebox swap that I did I didn't feel like making a card so I did a 3-D item.  Used a pencil as a stem created an area around it and then added a flower and a rhinestone.  I thought it came out really good.

June Class Cards

June 14 is my next class and these are the cards we will be making all items are in the new catty.  WOOHOO

June Woo Hoo Stampers Swap

June does not have a theme but to use new products from the new SU catalog.  I used the new In Colors and the new Work of Art Stamp set.
