  • New Ideas for the New Weekly Deals!

    When the new weekly deals were released, I had to laugh because so many of the items on sale are ones that I’ve used in classes and stamp club this month!  Check it out:

    See the Weekly Deals in the online store

    So for example, this last week at Stamp Club, we used both the Mother’s Love stamp set and the Something Borrowed embellishments:

    April Stamp Club projects with Watercolored Mothers Love and Petal Potpourri

    And then a couple weeks ago, we were doing an Embossing Folder Fun technique class and we used the Handheld Stapler and Deco Label Framelits (not the ones on the weekly deal this week) but you could do the same technique with the Label Framelits:

    Lotus blossom double embossing technique

    And of course, there are those fabulous Washi Sheets that I’ve been sharing with you as part of my Card Celebrations! Fun with Washi Sheets class:

    And if you were interested in registering for this class by mail, I do have the instructions ready and available NOW and will be starting to mail out kits in the next couple days.

  • Fun with Washi Sheets–a birthday card and NEW CLASS by MAIL!

    I will admit, I saw the washi sheets when they came out in the Occasions Catalog and I didn’t give them too much thought.  Sure, washi was fun, but did I really need sheets of them?  Well, I finally decided to get a pack and start playing and turns out that having bigger pieces of washi is actually a lot of fun and great for all kinds of projects!  In fact, I created my April Class by Mail around Washi Sheets and the Celebrate Today stamp set bundle because I was having such a great time.

    See, totally fun, right?  And some of the cards use big pieces of washi sheets for backgrounds, die cuts, or punch outs that you need the bigger sheets to get these looks.  I have all the details of this class by mail below (or join me in person next week on the 15th in either the morning or evening class session).

    But first I thought I would share one of the cards from the class that was actually the very first one I created:

    You could recreate this card with regular washi tape, but the thing that is cool about the washi sheets is that you get to pick the width of the strips you want.  So, say you loved yellow and wanted a wide yellow strip in addition to the skinnier yellow strip shown above – you can totally do that!

    I cut my strips of washi sheets to slightly different widths and then placed them on the background paper.  Then stamped with the coordinating Celebrate Today stamp set for my central sentiment. 

    Turned out totally cute!  Don’t you agree?

    Want to make this and the 7 other cards?
