Elegant Soiree Group

I have a ton of this DSP leftover from a class I did a few months ago. I love the colors in the paper. They are nuetral and go well for both masculine and femine looks. I decided that I needed to try and use more of it up. So all the cards I made this weekend are from the Elegant Soiree DSP. I made a couple of each design and seriously...after this and the class that I did, I still have half a pack of DSP left! Does it ever end???

I am one of those people that though purchasing a pack of specialty paper like this was a waste because of the cost versus the amount, but I was SOOO WRONG! The paper goes a very, VERY long way. It was well worth the money I paid for it and I love that it coordinates with all the Stampin' Up! colors...so there is no mess trying to find paper to match it at a local store. This has to be my absolutely favorite thing about Stampin' Up! It is always a no hassle card making session because I know the colors go together and then I have cardstock, ribbon, and embellishments to match as well. It doesn't get better than that!

I hope you enjoy the cards I made this weekend using the Elegant Soiree DSP. You can purchase it in my store and remember that if you spend $20 you are eligible to purchase the Paisley Petals DSP and the Four Frames stamp set sneak peaks from the new catalog that comes out in July! That is 3 months early!!

Happy Stamping!

A Slice of Life

I think this hostess set from the Occasions Mini is super cute. It might seem like a bunch of random stamps, but they are beautiful! It really is a slice of everything you might need to send a card for. I used the beautiful flower and vase stamp to make this card. I didn't stamp a sentiment on it since it could be used for a variety of things and I don't have anything in particular right this second I needed it for. I just really liked it. I might also mention that I LOVE the seam binding that we carry. I waited so long to get it since I didn't know quite what it was....I would buy that over ANY other ribbon in the collection right now. I am really hoping that it makes the new catalog in July because I got a peek at the new Summer Mini and it is NOT in there! Fingers crossed that it is in the main catalog for the new year. I can't live without that stuff now! It is so easy to work with and doesn't create a lot of bulk when mailing...gotta save that extra $0.20 somewhere right? It comes in a variety of colors and I am in heaven. :) You can get hostess set featured here by placing an order of $150 or hosting a workshop that is over $150...plus you get other benefits on top of the cute stamp set.

Happy Stamping!

Elegant Soiree DSP

I have some Elegant Soiree DSP left over from a class that I did a few months back. I really need to finish up the pack. The colors in it are beautiful and work great for masculine or femanine cards. Here are a couple that whipped up the other afternoon.

The owl stamp comes from the Sale-a-bration Punch Bunch set and the set can be yours FREE with a $50 order between now and March 31st. Hurry!!! It is only one of many options you can choose.

The circle sentiment on the second card is also from the Punch Bunch set. I haven't totally finished this card yet. I can't decide if I needed another Birthday Card or if I needed a Thank You card...so I haven't stamped another greeting on it yet. I was thinking the Curly Cute set would work nicely on it when the time comes to send it out to someone I love. :)

Happy Stamping!

Designer Series Paper Class Examples..

I want to give you some more info on one of the classes that I offer. It is my Designer Series Paper Class (DSP Class). The cards in this post are just a small sampling of the cards that we make in that class using the best paper around! The samples are made of GreenHouse Gala paper and it happens to be one of my favorite.

The cost of the class is $15. You come and make 5 cards using the paper pack of the month and you get to go home with your 5 cards AND the rest of your own pack of DSP that we used. There is tons and tons leftover to do whatever you want with. I provide the punches, embellishments, card stock, ink, and stamps...you just have to show up! How easy is that??? Super easy!

On October 6th we are doing this DSP class at my house. Mark your calendars people! Wednesday, Oct 6th @ 7:30pm. We will be using the Elegant Soiree DSP which is beautiful! Rest assured we will be using the Always Elegant stamp set, and Elegant Lines Embossing Folder with our cards. There will be a variety of sentiment stamps, so you can customize your 5 cards however you like.

You must call, email, or get ahold of me somehow to claim your spot in class. I have to have payment for the class by September 30th. That way I can have you paper waiting from you when you get here the following wednesday.

Happy Stamping!
