Cards Class  - Sunday, July 22, 2018


With the buy three get one free Designer Series Paper Special going on, for this week's class, I wanted to highlight one of my favorite papers by showing four different looks with the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper.  Of course, we know that you have other occasions that don't necessarily lend themselves to florals, so I'm including a couple of cards at the opposite end of the design spectrum  using two new sets from the June annual catalog.   Join us Sunday afternoon, July 22 to create these cards to have on hand for upcoming occasions.We'll use a variety of papers, die cuts, punches and embellishments.    

You'll love creating these cards and then sharing your creativity with others when you need to send a special "thank you", a friendly "hello", or remember a Birthday.  Pick from a variety of sentiments so each card fits your needs..

Stampin' Up! Country Road Stamp set for masculine cards

  • Stampin' Up! Country Road Stamp Set
  • Create fast, masculine cards with limited supplies
  • 10 free stamp pads included with new demonstrators sign-ups

Stampin' Up! Country Road


Today's stamp set is a "must-have" for us here in Houston, TX.  It's going to be my "go-to" set for masculine cards, and I love how classy a simple Crumb Cake and Basic Black card becomes, using this set.  The Country Road stamp set immediately went on my purchase list as soon as I received this lovely card from Lorrie Skinner, during a recent swap. 




The basecard is Basic Black.  Then a layer of Crumb Cake.  Then the images are stamped in Crumb Cake and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  A frame in Basic Black cardstock accents the stamped image.  It's popped up on dimensionals.  Three Basic Rhinestones are adhered to the  upper corner of the frame. I keep finding myself humming, " Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah river...." while playing with this set. 

     




The star from the Country Road Stamp set is stamped in Crumb Cake on Crumb Cake cardstock and fussy cut before adhering it to the lower corner of the frame.  The center of the star includes another Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  This is such a versatile card design.  Birthdays, Congratulations, Get Well, Thinking of you.  This card would work for many occasions. (Still humming, "Country roads, take me home.  To the place I belong...) 

The imaged included in the Stampin' Up! Country Road set will help you create both classy and fun cards with limited supplies and colors.



  


(More humming, "West Virginia, Mountain mamma, take me home, Country roads...)

Stamp: Country Road
Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento ink, Crumb Cake
