Christmas in July Class

I know it seems early to be thinking about the upcoming holidays but it seems like they arrive sooner each year. I can't believe it is already July!
This is a tease of the cards we will be making this month. The class is at my home on Saturday, July 25th at 10am and the cost is $15. If you need the address please email me at cindycreativecorner@gmail.com .
If you need a Stampin' Up! catalog, I will have one available for you at the class.

Black and White and Sketch Challenge for July

Card and sketch challenge accepted. My Stampin' Up! upline has started a monthly challenge. 

The color combo  #SWASColor1  is to use only black and white and the sketch challenge can found at #SWASSketch1 . I found it definitely challenging to only use black and white but I do like how it turned out. 

The stamp set I used is called Hello Life. The accessories are the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder, the Banner Triple punch, Pansy punch, Petite Petals punch, The center of the flower is made by using the Owl Builder punch. The sentiment is heat embossed to make it pop off the Basic Black cardstock. 

Paper Pumpkin June 2015

 I have a confession to make... I have been receiving the Paper Pumpkin kit since it started a few years ago and I love to open it and ooh and aah over the kit. I am not entirely sure I have completed an entire kit from start to finish. I have made a revolution to change that! This is June's kit named Happy Thoughts and I have completed it in an afternoon! The pieces are laid out above. It comes with just about everything you will require to put the kit together. Sometimes you will just need some adhesive. The stamp set is below. My daughter thought the flower looked like one she would have drawn in preschool. Which just makes it more adorable.

 A great part of the Paper Pumpkin is that it comes with a colored brochure on the front and a black and white step by step direction in the middle.

 And here are my FINISHED cards with matching envelopes. All 8 of them! I can not wait for the next months kit to arrive in my mailbox! If you would like to join me in the creative fun you can order your own kit and we can get together and make the next kit as long as you order by the 10th of the month you will receive it the following month and we can make a day to assemble the next Paper Pumpkin! Feel free to contact me at cindycreativecorner.stampinup.net with any questions!

Cards for Stampin' Up! Class

 How do you like these cards? I enjoyed getting a few of them as swaps so much, that I recreated them using different colors and different cardstock.
I am having a card class with these cards and you can come and recreate them, also. The class is on Sat, April 27 at 10 am. It will be held at Bulldog Bakery and Sweet Shop. The cost is only $10 for the cards with envelopes.

Stippled Blossoms Two Step Stamping

I used the popular design from DOStamping and cased it for my club project this month. Once I got the hang of remembering to stamp off one time for the bottom stamp color it was a breeze. I used Perfect Plum and Wild Wasabi ink. I love the white organza ribbon!

Ears To You

Loving these little bunnies. They are available as a single stamp set. We used them at my March club for a quick Easter gift bag and filled it with chocolate.

Sale A Bration Goodies

I used lots of items from the Sale A Bration catalog. The designer series paper is Sycamore Street and the embossing is the Vine Street embossing folder.
The pinwheel is also new from the Spring Mini catalog.
The main card is Razzleberry and Pool Party.

Twirly Whirly Birthday

I made this for a very sweet little girl who is turning 6 today. I used the new Sizzlits Pinwheel and the new embossing folder Cloudy Day. The DSP is Summer Smooches and the main card Daffodil Delight.
Happy Birthday Sadie Belle!

Valentine XOXO

Loving how many textured are on this card! 

The new Cloudy Day embossing folder has become one of my favorites.

Halloween Cards

I was just playing around with some Halloween stamp sets and made a few cards. Here they are....

Stamp set: Wicked Cool

Stamp set: Toxic Treats

Stamp set: Tricky Treats

Thanks for stopping by!

French Foliage

I am so happy my club starts back up this month. I missed playing in my scrap room. I was looking at a few blogs that I enjoy and this technique really seemed cool. So, thank you DOstamping. This card uses an embossing folder in a unique way and you don't need a Big Shot to make this card.

The background isn't a stamp set...it is an embossing folder. It has versamark on the folder and you use a brayer to make the color come to life. It is very cool, I think.

Summer Silhouettes

This is another fun card we are making in my card class this Saturday. I cased the main card from jillsink. I saw the colors and really liked the style of it.
