Hostess Club Spots Open!

This is an example of projects I've done with my club members!

 July means that it is time for a new round of Hostess Club!  The Holiday Occasions Catalog is huge and trendy this year so I know your wish list is going to be long!  If you would like to get some help with that wish list joining hostess club is the way to go!  I am hoping to have a 12:30 pm Club and a 7PM Club.
Hostess Clubs meet for 6months with 6 members taking turns being hostess.
Each member commits to placing a monthly order of $25
In return Hostesses get a free shipping on all orders during their membership period, exclusive class project each month and a turn receiving all the hostess benefits that are earned during their month.  They get to meet and spend time with new stamping friends and discounts on certain classes.

Sneak Peek of Sketch Class

 Here is a little peek at the cards I designed for my upcoming Sketch Class July 26, 7Pm.  I really love these cards.  I've used lots of brand new Stampin' Up! products.  I also used the special stamp set A Reason To Smile that is only available in July and can be purchased for $5.

This Card uses Papillon Potpourri-and the new butterfly punch!  Love them!  Already my biggest selling stamp set and punch!

 This card uses the new edge folders and the large scallop edgelette die!  Two Step stampin' on this card needed the Stamp-a-majig big time!

If you look close at this card I had left it in the car in my purse and the pearls slid from the heat-I fixed them no but I didn't see it when I took the picture-It was over 90 that day.  I love the little shell edge on this edgelette-don't you!

Christmas in July!

I had a great time yesterday with a group of Ladies that requested Christmas as the card Class Theme-these are the cards I came up with for them!  I hope you enjoy!  I have three card kits left over if anyone would like to purchase these kits.

Stampin' Pinwheels!

These card are from a Pinwheel Class I did-requested by my friend and customer Jackie-the top is traditional Pinwheel that I figured out a little cheat to help make them easy to make-maybe I'll post a video on how I did them when I get back from vacation.  The one below uses the faux pinwheel technique-and some of the new Stampin' Up! In Colors-and BTW-I love the new ink pad format with the dense sponge pad!  They stamp like pigment ink but dry soooooo fast!  I know it was naughty but I replaced all my ink pads.  Don't tell anyone.  K?

Powerhouse Studio

I wanted to share a picture of my stampin space, here I'm set up to have a class for 6.  This is my basement, my husband noticed one of the lights was out yesterday and then realized all the fixtures had at least one of the two bulb out!  I thought I was rapidly going blind but here I just needed new light bulbs!  I can seat 7 comfortably at this table-if I have more I can add a table classes at the Powerhouse are limited to 12.

Pop-up Surprise Card Video Tutorial

This was the project for my hostess Club in May-I love how it turned out-the video is a little long-sorry.

EMILY'S BIRTHDAY CAKE

This is the cake I made for Emily's Birthday-March 17th, she turned 17! It's a bit lopsided but was cute and tasty. I didn't plan to make it myself and didn't really have the time but when I arrived at our favorite bakery I found out the owners wife was in labor and they weren't able to take any cake orders! I took that as a sign that I'd have to do it myself since we love Swiss merange butter cream and this is the only bakery I know of that uses this decadent icing.

APRIL TRADITIONS 3 FOR 10

These are the three cards we did at Traditions for the April Card Class! This was a lot of fun! I love the Ladies at Traditions they are so great to work with! Next Month we are doing Masculine cards-Challenging! These we Spring occasions for Ladies! The strawberry card can be a Mother's Day for anyone you might be thinking of on Mother's Day, The other two cards could have the main image switched out for any image in the set-It was fun to see what everyone choose to make!

Tomorrow is Project Scrapbook-Friday April 12, 12:30. This Layout uses the Summer Smooches New Catalog preview products that are available the month of April-The large flower images are stenciled and the Trims are cut with the tasteful trims Die-the journaling label was created with the new framelet die and matching stamp set! I love this layout-I wish the photo did it justice!
