I learned about Zentangle while on vacation. Well actually I saw it at an art show where the girl had made them into cards. I wrote down the name and went back to look it up on the internet. I was blown away. I had never doodled while in school or while on the phone, etc. I thought surely I can do that... what have I got to lose, some paper and time. I thought I'd just try my hand at it without

There must be a use for it. Well there is for the rubber for the wooden stamps. I use pieces in behind

Soon we will say goodbye to this current catalog. I think a retired list will be coming out sometime in June and you'll want to get the items you love before they are gone. I'm currently taking orders for the next round of Stampin Up catalogs to be here around the first part of July. If you are interested in a new catalog, please send me a check for $10 with New catalog in subject/memo. I'd like

Tammy Carhart comes thru again. Thanks tons for sharing your project. I's all about the sharing as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for giving back by sharing. I love it and think that you should now try your hand at doing this with some fabric. What a cool idea to turn this into a mini quilted wall hanging. Think about it. Great job.From Tammy Carhart to Joan: I had to share a picture of the card I

Well I saw this on DIY Dish video, chalkboard labeling and thought it was something new. I got all excited. Trying to get back to their site to check out their label templates, seems tons of folks are labeling this way so guess it's not new. They were using Chalkboard paint which is crisp white and with a wet cloth wash it off and start over. Ok, I have my chalkboard pens and then I'm off to get

Well Spring is bursting out all over. What better way to celebrate than with Stampin Up's 2-step set: Awash with Flowers. This tall card to the right is the one we are making but of course a little tweak here and there can change the look of a card and someone in class always improves what we start with. Anytime you have a variation or a card, let me know and we'll post it. Below are a couple of

We're using "Awash with Flowers" and here are 3 versions of the same card. They were cased and tweaked to what I had on hand. Not sure you can tell the difference but the designer paper is Old Olive. The card is A.Artichoke with W.White. The top card and one on the left are using Rich Razzleberry. The lower right is using Cherry Cobbler. We're making the lower right card but you'll have the

Tammy has been one busy gal. Don't you just love all the great backgrounds you can get by using the embossing folders by Stampin Up. Remember these will also work in a cuttlebug. The reinstines by Stampin Up are so easy to use as they already have adhesive and come in many sizes just perfect for this card. There's that bling again. Thanks again Tammy.

Just 3 little flowers by Tammy. She's used the butterfly sizzlit because it cuts and embosses at the same time.

Well I had some pink to see the difference and one of the girls chose this color so I snapped a photo for you to see. I've cut for yellow but may have some pink on hand, first come first choice. This uses the same as for the yellow except it's Pretty in Pink ink over Pink Pirouette. Go down to March class and compare.

The wreath was done with reinkers and then she's filling in the background with acrylic paint and brush and this way she can paint out anything she doesn't like.

October is my last month for classes this year so I hope you have reserved a seat. 3 cards for the holiday/winter season. Time permitting, you'll also get to make 4 Holiday tags. Well now don't you just love this "Northern Flurry" embossing folder for a simple and elegant card. Talk about fast. The impression is just so impressive. I used Pear Pizzazz for the actual card. Card #1 has been the

Welcome to one of the easiest boxes/bags you will ever make. It's a 2 4 6 8 template. Here are 3 sizes you can make. Idea is to score at equal points, 2", 4", 6", 8" to make this box. You must have a bit left over to have something to glue the corner to. The bottom is scored accordingly. I normally score the bottom to match the sides, 2". However on the smaller box I only scored at 1.5" or else

Well I hope you booked your seat for stampclass at my house or the Senior Center. Did you see my class schedule at the site below.Don't forget that I have a September special. Class is normally $15 however, if you need some supplies this is the month to come. Place a $15 order while in class and you'll only pay $5 for the class. That's a deal.Did I happen to mention that I'm cleaning house and

We did a Shake Rattle and Roll card in the August '10 stamp class. It's a fun way to get out some stress and viola, is a cool way to make backgrounds. So next time you are stressed break out the reinkers, dump out your stamps from the clear Stampin Up cases and find those marbles from your childhood. It's such a fun way to use up some scraps of cardstock and next time you need some accent pieces

My stash is growning. Just so many cards to choose from. Do you need a sample to work from? I've decided to sell off some of my extras. Here are a few. Rarely have 2 of the same card that are just alike. Placement, wording, coloring, etc. can vary and that's the way handmade should be. Perhaps I should number them as I list them. Humm, that might be a good idea.Often I can change the

July was a Mystery Hostess Month. All orders over $15 were going into a pot for a Hostess. Now you can't get any better than that and you didn't even have to clean your house.Good luck everyone. Looks like I have enough to draw for 2 hostesses.Come back shortly and see whose name Don drew out. Hope you have your Hostess choice ready as well as what you want free for $15.Thanks to everyone who

Recently I read a very nice article in the monthly Stampin Up magazine about an Amish girl who is a demonstrator. She has a great business that requires someone taking her to the library so she can use the computer. She also needs someone to take her to and from her workshops in the home of stamping friends. So it goes to show that anyone and everyone can do this job and you just learn as you go

Well it's not to late to reserve a seat for one of the July Stamp Classes at Joan's. There are 3 card projects. The ideas were case'd and tweaked based on what I had on hand. They were all three fun to make and actually go quickly. If you are coming to class and have the paper piercing mat pack, bring it as it will speed things along. Other than that, bring a sweater.Come back later for details.

Well I'm just thrilled to announce that one of my stampers said that her company would pay the postage to mail the cards to the troops. So I think we should plan a date to make some cards, and round table is fun as each person is assigned one job on the card and we have time to talk.I'll supply all the materials for these cards. So I'd like to ask that you make suggestions as to a card that you

June, 2010 class projects. Well I enjoyed making all of these with a little help and inspiration from others. The 3-d flower card was just so much fun but won't fit in an envelope. I found this card idea on pg. 72, Papercrafts May 2006, cased card by Amber Crosley. I changed it up by texturing the colored piece. The butterflies are a die by Stampin Up as well as the plates and verses. The

July 4 is not far away. Celebrate with some easy cards. This has been the favorite. This was made by dragging a Real Red pad across using the edge of the pad, along with Brilliant Blue for a Patriotic Card. Want to join me to make some of these cards to send to the troops.

Don't live near by but want the benefits of a club and the projects. Here's a thought, get a group of your friends together, divide that number into the required $150 to get hostess benefits. The group order can ship directly to the hostess for that month.

Think of your markers as a q tip. When inking up stamps you'll want to ink in one direction or else it get fuzzy, like a q tip going back and force. The marker is made up of fibers. I also like to store my markers lying down but if one end starts to dry out, just stand it on end as the ink runs to both ends.To reink your markers, you might want to rest the tip over your stamp pad and just add
