I did find some time to stamp yesterday (Mr. Brown brought me a box!) but I made my card for Blogger's Challenge for Friday. That means you are getting to see Card 3 from the Start to Finish Stamping Library Class. This one is basically a case from a Stampin' Success magazine published for demos (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS PUBLICATION!). I made it an A2 card, used different colors, and tweaked the design the tiniest bit, but basically, it is a CASE of a Stampin' Up! card.
The basecard is Ruby Red and the other colors are Ballet Blue, Certainly Celery and Crushed Curry. This one was done with the Circle Circus stamp set. Everyone seems to love this set and when I first got it, I wasn't inspired. But it has really grown on me, and it is very versatile. I guess Stampin' Up! does know a few things!
Just in case anyone wonders, I got the name for this class "Start to Finish Stamping" from a demo group to which I belong. I didn't check out their class but thought this would be a good name for a class that involves talking about tools, how to efficiently and accurately cut cardstock and some basic stamping guidelines.
I need to go pack for the class and will pray tonight that I remember everything! I'll double check before I leave tomorrow too -- nothing worse than not having something you need and having ten class participants know that you screwed up!
By the way, if you love the neutrals carstocks that Stampin' UP! offers, we were informed today by a demo who had spoken with the Home Office that the neutrals cardstocks are going to be packaged differently in the new catalog. You'll save some dollars if you order your neutrals (page 159) prior to the new catalog debuting. Currently sold in packages of 40, these neutrals cost $0.1875. In the new catalog coming in July, they will be offerred in packages of 24 and will cost you $0.2291. Knowing that, and knowing there are new colors with all their corresponding accessories, not to mention new stamps and other new toys, it might be worth thinking about. At least you've been warned.....
See you on Friday with Blogger's Challenge! It's Mother's Day Cards -- I'm excited already!
God Bless You!
