February Stampin Up Workshop Cards

I'm a little behind getting these posted, but here are some cards we did at my Stampin Up demo's monthly workshop last month. Unfortunately, I don't know names of stamp sets, but everything you see is from Stampin Up. The last one is really bulky and didn't scan well. Tomorrow if we have daylight (more winter arrived today and our highs are supposed to be in single digits for the next 48 hours!) I'll photograph it and hopefully will get a better image.

Basic Grey Porcelain Card Kit

This past Saturday I picked up this card kit at my local scrapbooking store. Untrue to my character, I actually took it home and immediately started assembling. Normally it would lay around the house for several weeks before I took it out of the bag! I made 4 of the cards on Saturday and the remaining 4 on Sunday.

**No stamping on these cards. Everything that looks stamps is rub-ons. Everything that looks like ribbon is paper (die cut), and lots of chipboard accents.

Valentine Vignette

I've decided to jump on the "test tube" bandwagon, although I got these a little late to make a lot of Valentine gifts. This is a variation on Mrs C's tubes. I happened to have found that darling stretchy, curly ribbon at my LSS. I was going to use it on the tubes, but the reds didn't match very good and frankly I was too lazy to go down to the basement to find matching CS and ink!

Supplies Used: Tubes - Stampin Up Curly Label punch, Stampin Up Bella Rose DP, Stampin Up Riding Hood Red CS, Stampin Up Cute & Curly (label) stamp, Martha Stewart Valentine's stamps (for sayings and on punched-out hearts), Martha Stewart border punch, Marvy Heart punch, test tubes from Impress. Card - Making Memories ready-to-glitter stickers, Stampin Up Branching Out stamp set. Ribbon from my LSS, unknown manufacturer.

No More Apologies

See that button on the top right of this page? If you click on it you can read the "Blogging Without Obligation" story. I've decided to live by this from now on. Life is too short, if you know what I mean.

January 2009 Stampin Up Workshop

Here are the cards we did at the most recent Stampin Up workshop I attended at my demonstrator's home.

Kelli's Birthday

Tomorrow is my niece Kelli's 24th birthday. My parents are in Yuma for the winter and I have "control" over their checkbook. They called the other day and asked me to make Kelli a card and put a check in it for her. They also gave me "permission" to make one card and put their names plus mine and Stan's in it. Since I'm a procrastinator and didn't start until tonight, I took them up on that! Hope you enjoy my creation.

Supplies used: Stampin Up Bella Rose papers, stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms, ribbon unknown source.
