Try it class - Undefined - Carve your own stamps Wed, Feb 5th 6 - 8pm

Last week I attended an Undefined Class taught by my downline - Allison O.  I think she is THE Undefined specialist!  If you check out the Stampin Up home page many of her stamps have been featured on their site :)

I want to have a class with this great kit so I thought I'd see how she taught her class and take some notes for my own future class.

What did I learn?

Tip #1 - Go with a design in mind!   I spent a few moments before the class searching what I might want to carve and looked up some images online.

Tip #2 - Have a great drawing.  A good first drawing will make a great stamp. 

Tip #3 - When you are carving move the rubber and not your tool.  

There are many more that I wrote down that I will share at my first Undefined class!

133402 Undefined Kit - all you need to get started for just $25.95

Here was the image I found online.
 

 And here is what I carved.  .  .

And my first card . . .

And my second card.

Now what to carve next :)  Any suggestions??

Check your calendar and let me know if you'd like to attend my Undefined - Try it class on Wed, Feb 5th at 6pm.  

All are welcome - teens too!

Have a great weekend!

Cheers,

And a close up of the 3D Spiral flower made with the Big Shot die.

Due to technical difficulties . . .

I may have to take a pause in blogging.  I am getting a message that my iphoto library is full or nearing capacity.  Is that even POSSIBLE??

I will share with you some of my photos from Manager's Reception in Houston.  This is a special event for demonstrators that are performing at a certain title and we are SPOILED!

I had a fantastic time with Sharon, my new friend from Cincinatti.  We ate and ate and ate and I even rode on the Ferris Wheel despite the squeaky sounds it 
made!

The theme for Manager's Reception was Be a Big Fish!  This is the cool scuba diver that posed for a ton of pictures.

My buddies Krista, Kelly and Lynsay from Edmonton.

Holding on for dear life on the Ferris Wheel.

The view from the top of the ferris wheel.

Kobe beef sliders, chicken and lobster - YUM!

Chocolatey goodness on a cookie.

Sushi at an Aquarium - is that just weird in my mind!?!

Smoked salmon and cream cheese spun on a fork.

Crab cakes,

Oysters,

Shrimp,

Smashed potatoes (sweet and regular) and you could add pork and chicken to the mix.

 Not to mention the roast beef and turkey!  Plus trays and trays and trays of other desserts!  I love this company!

Thanks for checking in and I hope to have my iphoto problems fixed soon.  If you have any ideas please let me know!

Cheers,

Vivid Vases swap card

 I'm still pluggin ahead on my vases but this card will WOW you when it's done.  

Just kidding. It's a clean and simple card but just with a lot of fussy cutting.   I'm pleased with the way it turned out though.

133818 Vivid Vases

If you are in the downline swap act surprised when you get this card :)


Hope you have a great weekend and take some time to craft a little this weekend!  I know I will be on Sunday at my downline get together!

Leadership swaps

I did a few swaps for Leadership this year and I was WOW'd by the quality and variety of swaps I received.  Downside - I have a ton more stamps on my "list to purchase" now.

Birthday cards galore!

This weekend's Kids camp I focused on Birthdays!  It's nice to have a good stash of cards to start the year.

Here was our technique card - a shaker card.  The confetti was made with the new fringe scissors and I {heart} the new Sale A Bration embossing folder.  This one is a MUST get and it's free with a $60 order.
 

This was our Birthday card set.  Each card has the same card "map" or plan but there are slight differences.  The kids loved creating them and they looked fabulous!

 

Thanks for checking in.

Cards on the Move - Day time class - Thurs, Jan 23 10 am

Are you free on Thursday morning?  Want to learn how to make some fun WOW cards?

I have had some requests to open up some spots for my WOW Cards on the Move class.

These are super fun and easy and you'll definitely WOW the receiver!

 The first card is one for those "wheel lovers" in your life.  Often called a spinner card this motorbike does some pretty sweet tricks!

This flip flop spinner card was CASED from Lyssa Z.  It's amazingly simple but stunning!
 

 And my absolute fave - a double slider card.

Date - Thurs, Jan 23
Time - 10-12pm - some of these cards may take a bit of time so it won't be a super quick WOW class
Cost - $15

Let me know ASAP if you'd like to take part in this class.

Cheers, 
K
