February Stamp Clubs
I am so excited to get you the February Club projects while it is still February! Not only that, but because of the school vacation week here in the Northeast, my Hyannis club isn't even meeting until next week. If you would like to join us to make these fabulous projects, please contact me today!
This fun card uses the Bootiful Occasions Stamp Set found in our 2012-2013 Catalog. I made the fur trim using our white gel pen. When I saw this card design by Mary Fish, I knew that we had to make it.
I love the boldness of this card! The Honeycomb embossing folder is so hot right now. To easily cut the hexagons for the inside, run your designer paper through the folder before you cut to make it super simple, and get the perfect size. To create the second layer of the cake, first make a "mask", cover over the first layer and stamp the second layer over it, that will allow your flat bottom to look rounded. I'm not sure who the designer is on this card, but I have to say that I thought it was fabulous! We used the Topsy-Turvy Celebration Set.
This card I made as part of a Creating Clubs that Rock class. The girls at my club thought it rocked, it was voted as one of the 2 favorite projects this month. We made this card by embossing the Swallowtail Butterfly stamp with Iridescent Ice(I used clear EP with a dusting of glitter on this sample). We then brayered on Old Olive Ink onto the Glossy White card stock. I did find that because the butterfly is so detailed that I had to go back in with a sponge and get a little more ink between some of the finer lines. This card is absolutely beautiful for any occasion.
Fun and simple. Make a Wish is a great birthday set to have on hand for making birthday cards or invitations. The Top Note Die should be a staple in every paper crafter's die collection.
This card designed by Becky Roberts is what made me decide to buy the All Dressed Up Bundle. Even thought the card looks difficult, it is actually very simple to put together.
*Please note that the Pop 'n Cuts Card Base and Dress Form are not included in the Bundle (right side top 2 images).
Who wouldn't love this little photo album? We used a variety of DSP, so that everyone's had a different style. This sample shows it with papers from the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack. The Feel Goods Stamp Set in the Spring Mini Catalog should not be overlooked.

Saturday's Workshop
I had a workshop on Saturday with a group of wonderful women. My hostess wanted to do a valentine card. I'm going to be straight with you here, I didn't buy any of the new valentine sets! Oh no, what was I to do. As you know I like to case, but I did't have any of the stamps that everyone is using. I had to design my own card! I had some of our new products and I loved the color combinations of the More Amore DSP, so I borrowed the color combo and came up with the card you see here. I used the stamp set Delightful Dozen to save the day.
Delightful Dozen (Wood 122650, Clear 122654, also available in Spanish, French and Digital Format)
Our second Card that we made on Saturday was inspired by Mary Fish's design. The girls loved the simplicity of cutting out the flowers with the new Secret Garden Framelits.
Secret Garden Bundle (Wood 131100, Clear 131099, also available separately)
Coordinating Secret Garden Stamp Set + Secret Garden Framelits = two products at a 15% savings!
If you are on Cape Cod or live in Southeastern MA, I would love to do a workshop or private class with you and your friends. Contact me today to reserve your date!

January Stamp Clubs - Is Coppying Okay?
Below you are going to find all the projects we made at this month's stamp club. Not a single one of them was designed by me.
Sometimes I feel like I should be down in my craft room designing unbelievable fabulous projects that I can share online like many others out there. Here's the truth, I'm not that great of a designer. Sometimes I can come up with something original that I absolutely love, but not usually.
I am a busy Mom, and I don't have all day to spend designing original projects, just like many of you. I am trying to run my business the best I can between my families busy schedule of swim practices (5 days a week), weekend long swim meets, girl scout meetings and soccer practice. I am also the Girl Scout troop cookie mom for one of my girls, co-VP of the PTO, and sometimes a Sunday School Teacher. Sound Familiar? I know many of you are just as busy or even busier then I am.
I do feel however that I am fabulous at searching out others beautiful designs (usually while I am sitting at swim practice). It is my job to bring my customers projects that they like to make, and it doesn't matter who designed them.
Stampin' Up! encourages "CASING" Copy and Share Everything. Thank goodness for me. Even though the projects you see here aren't usually original designs, I hope they inspire you to "CASE" them as they did me. I do like to put my own little spin on things sometimes so they may not look exactly like the originals and you can do the same.
I hope that you can make a little time in your buy life to join a stamp club, or to sit down and try one of these projects yourself. If you are brand new to stamping check out my previous post about our new Paper Pumpkin, that would be perfect for you!
By the Tide is my favorite stamp set in the Spring Mini, living on Cape Cod, how could it not be. Original design by sarahs31.
We do a bit of Whale Watching on the Cape. The card I cased was a bright yellow thank you card, but I loved the idea of making it a valentine. Oh, Whale is in the Spring mini and there are also Happy Whale coordinating Clearlit's dies available to go along with it. Original design by Shauna Cundick.
Chalkboards are HOT right now! You can find the instructions for making them in my last newsletter, if you aren't getting that, make sure you subscribe (new customers only please, no current demonstrators.) I used the Amazing Family stamp set for this card because I do have an Amazing Sister and I am planning to mail her this card. Most of my club members used the "Friend" stamp from the set. My design came from crossing a card designed by Julie Camell and a card designed by Becky Roberts.
This card layers the new Bitty Butterfly punch and the Elegant Butterfly punch. I didn't change to much from the original. Because I didn't have the stamp set that was used I made it a birthday card and since I didn't have enough of the Delicate Details Lace Tape that was used on the original, I went with the new Natural Trim Ribbon in its place, my club members loved this. Original design by Amy Oneill.
I had wanted to use the Stylin' Snowfolk set on a christmas card, but I had so many other projects that it didn't happen. When I saw this card, I fell in love with it. You are getting a sneak peek at a few Sale-A-Bration items here. The Sycamore Street DSP (Designer Series Paper) and the Sycamore Street Ribbon and Button Pack will be FREE product choices with your $50 order beginning 1/22. They are both also part of the Hostess Bundle that hostess can earn with a $450 workshop. Original design by Laura Mellinger.
Blooming with Kindness is a great set to begin card making with since it comes with an image and greetings. On my card I actually used the Happy Birthday form Perfectly Penned. I got the original card as a swap from Convention, it was designed by Susan Rodgers.
