March Card Club

 Hello Crafty Friends!

The Monthly Card Club is back!

It has been about 2 years since I offered my monthly card classes. So many things have happened in those two year. Some were good and some were not so good, but they have kept me from blogging.

Here are the cards. This bonus bundle will be available, with your monthly purchase, through the 15th of April. Please go to the Monthly Card Club tab for all the details.

These bonus cards were created with the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set. 154368

Have a blessed day!

Quite Curvy Stampin' Up! Bundle

 Have you noticed the Quite Curvy bundle in the Stampin' Up! Spring Mini catalog? I really like one of the samples so I thought I would CASE it (Copy And Share Everything). I only made one minor change in that I switched the sentiment.

Time is flying by, this catalog is already half way through its sales period. 

Soon we will be finding out which products will be discontinued from the Annual Catalog, so keep checking back for that announcement!

Check out my 24/7 Stampin' Up! store. I would love to be your demonstrator.

Tuesday Tutorial # 84

Mix it up a little bit. Instead of a card this Tuesday Tutorial is for a Baker's Box project.

This is a project that is in anticipation of spring! I used spring colors because I am looking forward to seeing some spring flowers soon! I've heard reports of crocus and daffodils getting ready to display their glorious tidings of spring.

This week I am sharing an encouragement card from my friend Jeannie. She sent it to me last year when I did need some encouragement. Love it!

I don't know anything about any of the products she used. Right now Stampin' Up! has a balloon set and it could be used to create a card similar to this.

Thanks for sharing this card with me Jeannie.

Tuesday Tutorial # 81

Have you seen the Sale-A-Bration brochure yet? This stamp set, "Hey, Chick" is a very popular stamp set. If you are planning on getting it don't wait until the last minute to earn it because the products in the Sale-A-bration brochure are "as supplies last".

Here's my version of a card using the Hexagon Dynamic embossing folder as a stamp for the chicken wire background.

Are you ready for some spring? Here in Oregon, almost everyone, at least everyone that I know, is ready for the ice to go and the flowers to grow.

Here's a card from my friend Betty. She used the Festive Flower Builder punch (Stampin' Up!) to create the tulips. Isn't it clever? It is an easel card that she sent for Easter.

Thank you Betty for the pot of spring! 

Have a blessed day,

Tuesday Tutorial # 82

This is a fun stamp set that I have had for many months and haven't had time to play with. It is more of a March card that I have created this time. I guess I just can't wait for spring and kite flying weather! ☺

Here's a card from Kim. She used a quote from Georgia O'Keefe to set the theme for the design of the card. That is a common technique, pick out the sentiment and then design the card. Works great, as you can see, for design inspiration.

She used a stamp from Stampin' Up!'s Work of Art stamp set to create the palette of colors.

My friend, Jeannie, knows that I like the beach and everything about it. We both like lighthouses, beach scenes and marine life cards. Here's one that she made for me using a lighthouse stamp. I love the little shell brads too.

The new Stampin' Up! spring Occasions Catalog has a lighthouse stamp set in it. I'm sure I will be making a lighthouse card in the near future!

Tuesday Tutorial # 79

Here it is another Tuesday! Time flies when you're having fun, the saying goes.

All the snow days we've had this month has helped me stay home so that I could catch up on all my projects and blogging. Actually my most time consuming project is this blog. I don't know how people keep up with their project creations, video creations and blog posts! I guess they are more organized than I am.

Enough talk! Here's this week's Tuesday Tutorial! ☺
