Cucumber - four cooll  

Cucumber Crush In Color Club Cards

Today, I'm sending out kits to our In Color Club Group #2 and it reminded me that I have yet to share the final color cards featuring Cucumber Crush!  This bright & cheery green is really growing on me and I can see how awesomely it combines with all of the other Brights Collection colors!  And, I can't wait to try it on some Christmas cards!  

In color cards - ALL

Join The In Color Club—Are you still interested in purchasing the In Colors in a budget-friendly way?  I have a wait-list for Group #3 of my In Color Club.  Not only do you get all of the colors over 5 months, you also receive supplies to make 20 cards with the new colors!  See complete In Color Club details.  Let me know if you're interested in joining our next round!

Cucumber Wishes   

Background Basics—I started by embossing a 3-7/8” x 5-1/8” piece of Cucumber Crush with the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder.  That layer is adhered to a 4” x 5-1/4” piece of Basic Black, then mounted on on a Whisper White card base.

Striped Banner—I punched the end of a 1-1/2” x 4-1/2” piece of Cucumber Crush Envelope Paper with the Banner Triple Punch for a fish-tail banner.  Have I told you how much I love this punch?!  It makes banners so quick & easy!

Cucumber Wishes 2 

Sweet Sentiments—I stamped the Perfect Pennants greeting in Cucumber Crush onto Whisper White card stock, then die-cut it with the Circles Collection Framelits.  It's adhered to a Basic Black 2-1/2” Circle Punch and popped up with Dimensionals.

Finishing Touches—A couple of simple accents finish off this card. I added a Black Baker's Twine bow with a dab of Multipurpose Glue along the bottom of the circle.  For a little sparkle, I adhered a small Silver Glimmer Paper star punched with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.  It's adhered with Multipurpose Glue, too.

  Cucumber make a wish

Two Cool—I used the same elements here and stamped a different sentiment from the Perfect Pennants set.

Cucumber grateful

Three Cool—Another version using the same elements, but this time I tried a Merry Everything greeting.

Cucumber way to go 

Four Cool—For the last card, I tried a horizontal version with a congratulatory phrase from the Bravo set.

Cucumber way to go 2

_________________________________________________________________________

Today, I'm sharing cards from the Tip Top Taupe month of my In Color Club!  Participate in the Club to get all of the new In Colors in a budget-friendly way!  Are you interested in joining?  I still have openings in Group #2!  See complete details for the In Color Club.

Taupe friendly wishes - 4 cool

In Color Club Cards Featuring Tip Top Taupe—One of the bonuses of being part of my In Color Club is that you'll also get additional supplies to use with that month's In Color to create 4 matching cards with envelopes!  That's a 20 cards in all!  These are the cards you can make during the Tip Top Taupe month!

Taupe friendly wishes - friend 1    

Background Basics—I love the striped paper from the Envelope Paper In Color assortment. I think the 3" x 4" element makes a terrific background for the fun phrases from the new Friendly Wishes stamp set!  After adhering it to the Tip Top Taupe card base, I adhered a piece of matching Tip Top Taupe Dotted Lace Trim around the card front. 

TIP: The lace wraps all the way around the card front and I adhered the ends under the focal point layer.  I learned quickly that SNAIL doesn't hold the lace well.  I ended up placing Dimensionals on the edges of the lace, half on the lace & half on the paper, to hold it in place more securely. 

Taupe friendly wishes - friend 2    

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the Friendly Wishes phrase onto Whisper White card stock, then die-cut it with the Deco Label Framelits and popped it up with those Dimensionals.

Bitty Blooms—I created some simple Tip Top Taupe flower accents using punch-outs from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. I curved the blooms around the point of my Bone Folder to give them some dimension, then adhered them with Glue Dots.  The centers have sparkly Rhinestone Jewels.

Taupe friendly wishes - always 1    

Two Cool—I used the same elements to create another vertical card using another sentiment from Friendly Wishes.

Taupe friendly wishes - always 2

This time I tied the Lace Trim into a textured faux-bow!

Taupe friendly wishes - love 1    

Three Cool—Of course, I had to try a couple horizontal versions.  This Friendly Wishes greeting was smaller, so I added a couple of the accent images on the top and bottom of the label.

Taupe friendly wishes - best 1    

Four Cool—This was another smaller Friendly Wishes sentiment, so I added the coordinating dotted line underneath.  This is the card where I found out the SNAIL didn't work on the Lace Trim, so it's pretty droopy.  Lesson learned!

In Color Club: Delightful Dijon Sassy Flower Patch

Current Classes & Special Promotions!

________________________________________________________________________

Hi Stamping Friends! 

Today, I'm sharing cards from the Delightful Dijon month of my In Color Club!  Participate in the Club to get all of the new In Colors in a budget-friendly way!  Are you interested in joining?  I still have openings in Group #2!  See complete details for the In Color Club.

Dijon Flower Patch - 4 cool

In Color Club Cards Featuring Delightful Dijon—One of the bonuses of being part of my In Color Club is that you'll also get additional supplies to use with that month's In Color to create 4 matching cards with envelopes!  That's a 20 cards in all!  These are the cards you can make during the Delightful Dijon month!

Dijon Flower Patch - 3   

Background Basics—It's pretty funny that I've been using the lightweight In Color Envelope Paper for everything but envelopes!  I used a 5-1/2" x 3/4" strip of the Delightful Dijon striped envelope paper to add a trendy accent to the Delightful Dijon card base.

Dijon Flower Patch - 3.5   

Sweet Sentiment—For the focal point, I stamped a Sassy Salutation greeting in Delightful Dijon onto a 3" square of Whisper White.  It's layered with Dimensionals over the top of a 3-1/4" square of Whisper White.  I really like that tone-on-tone white matting!  

Flower Shop Blooms—I stamped two of the realistic blooms from the Flower Shop stamp set in Delightful Dijon ink onto Whisper White card stock, then punched them with the Pansy Punch. 

Bundle It & Save—Purchase the Flower Shop stamp set & Pansy Punch together in the Flower Shop Bundle and save!

Then, I stamped two of the matching Petite Petals mini flowers in Delightful Dijon and punched them with the Petite Petals Punch. I popped these smaller flowers with Dimensionals, then adhered the flowers with SNAIL to the focal point. DONE!  So quick, easy & pretty!

Bundle It & Save—Purchase the Petite Petals stamp set & Petite Petals Punch together in the Petite Petals Bundle and save!

Dijon Flower Patch - 1   

Two Cool—All four of the cards are created with the same basic elements, but you can play with them a bit to get some different looks.  Here, I stamped a different Sassy Salutations greeting, the moved the flowers to the top of the focal point.

Dijon Flower Patch - 4   

Three Cool—Of course, I had to try a couple vertical versions.  These elements look amazing in both directions!

Dijon Flower Patch - 2   

Four Cool—I tried single-layer flowers on this one, and added the leftover Petite Petal to the inside of the card.  Sweet!

Birthday surprise - three cool 

Last Day To RVSP!  Today I'm sharing the final project from my Stamper Sampler Birthday Card Stamp-A-Stack Class coming up tomorrow!  We'll be making 12 cards (3 each of 4 designs) for just $20, so you can stock up on birthday cards!  Please RSVP by today, March 17, at 5pm!

My last card design features a colorful, extra-large birthday greeting from the Birthday Surprise stamp set!  It's a fun card that's great for anyone, male or female, of any age!   

Birthday surprise - first    

Background Basics—I started with an Elegant Eggplant card base then added a 5-1/2" x 1" strip of Bermuda Bay striped Birthday Bash Designer Series Paper along the bottom.  I also embossed a 5-1/2" x 2-1/2" piece of Rich Razzleberry card stock with the Lucky Stars embossing folder to attach to the top of the card background.  A 1/4" wide strip of Silver Glimmer Paper is adhered with Multipurpose Glue along the seam.

Birthday surprise - first 2  

Fun Sentiment—I colored the large Birthday Surprise sentiment with Stampin' Write Markers before stamping to create the multicolored letters.  I used Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Elegant Eggplant colors on Whisper White card stock. TIP: Use the brush tip end of the markers to "paint" the color onto the stamp, huff on on the stamp to re-moisten it, then stamp.

The greeting was die-cut with the Apothecary Accents Framelits, then popped up on the card front with Dimensionals. 

Shiny Sequins—I added a few Bermuda Bay Sequins with Multipurpose Glue to simulate confetti and, for some extra sparkle, added a Rhinestone Jewel on the top of each sequin. 

Birthday surprise - second 

Two Cool—I tilted all the elements on their side to make a vertical version of the card.  The sequins are moved to the bottom right corner.

Birthday surprise - second 2 

Shortened Sentiment—The Apothecary Accents die-cut was a bit too long to go vertical, so I simply cut off the sides flush with the edges of the card.  The sequins are moved to the bottom right corner.

Birthday surprise - third     

Three Cool—My third version shows the background panels in a different order and sequins underlining the words.  I love playing around with the elements to make new versions!  Too Cool!

Sunday Showcase: 5-Sheet Wonder Cards Details

Current Classes & Special Promotions!

____________________________________________________________________

Hi Stamping Friends!
 
5 sheet wonder - ensemble lgFor today's Sunday Showcase, I thought I'd give you a close-up look at the cards we'll be creating at my TC Stamper Sampler Class coming up on Wednesday, October 22, 2014, at 6:30pm.  
 
We'll be stamping a whole sheet of cardstock with the Letterpress Winter stamp set, then using a template to cut the stamped paper into pieces to create 10 matching holiday cards!  This technique is called a One-Sheet Wonder. 
 
Then, we'll be stepping it up a notch by using templates on 4 additional sheets of coordinating card stock to create additional elements for those 10 cards—a 5-Sheet Wonder!  It's a fun, fast, and efficient way to create a whole stack of cards! 
 
Class-To-Go Kits are available! 
 
See Class Details!  RSVP by Tuesday, October 21. 
 
FREE Class & Bonus Card Case—Simply place an order by October 22 at my Online Store for $50 or more using the Hostess Code: G6349UHR
 
*  *  *  *  *
 
Wonderful sheet 
 
One-Sheet Wonder Basics—Our projects start with a sheet of Whisper White card stock that we'll stamp with snowflakes from the Letterpress Winter photopolymer stamp set. 
  • Start with the largest snowflake in Island Indigo.  Stamp in a diagonal pattern and rotate the stamp 90° each time you stamp it.
  • Stamp the medium size snowflake in Perfect Plum in between each of the large flakes.
  • Stamp the smallest snowflake in Blackberry Bliss between the largest ones to fill in the spaces.
  • Stamp the medium snowflake in Soft Sky over any remaining white spots on the sheet.
  • Optional: Add small snowflakes in Island Indigo to fill in the centers of the Perfect Plum flakes.

The templates that I'm using come from the amazing LeeAnn Greff at Flowerbug's Inkspot. 

A Note About The 5-Sheet Wonder Templates—Since I paid to use these templates, I do not have permission to share the templates or measurements on this post.  My local class will be receiving a print-out of the templates as part of their class kits, but my online kits will only include the template for the stamped sheet.  All of my class kits will have ALL pieces pre-cut for the 4 additional sheets, so you don't need to have those templates to complete my class.  If you wish to have printable copies of the templates, please purchase them from Flowerbug's Inkspot. 

Card Elements—I used the 5-Sheet Wonder templates, one for each of the coordinating colors: Whisper White, Blackberry Bliss, Perfect Plum, Island Indigo and Soft Sky.  These will create the basic elements for the cards.  I also needed one additional sheet in each color to make the card bases.  Then, I personalized each card with my own additional layers, silver accents and sentiments. 
 
Let's take a closer look at each card we'll be making for the class...
 
5 sheet wonder- card 1

Card #1—We used the Scallop Trim Border Punch (retired) on the first one.  Then added some 1/8" Silver Ribbon and a sentiment from the Bright & Beautiful (wood) stamp set stamped in Blackberry Bliss.

5 sheet wonder - card 2 

5 sheet wonder - card 2a

Card #2—The Snowflake Card Thinlit dies were used to create the layered snowflake in Island Indigo and Silver Foil.  The retired Greetings For The Season was stamped in Blackberry Bliss, then punched with the Decorative Label Punch.

5 sheet wonder - card 3  
 
Card #3—I added a sparkly 1/4" wide strip of Silver Glimmer Paper to the background.  The Merry Everything (wood) sentiment is stamped in Island Indigo, then die-cut with the Deco Labels Collection Framelits.  A Decorative Label Punch shape was cut in half and repositioned to make the Blackberry Bliss mat under the sentiment.
 
5 sheet wonder- card 4   
 
Card #4—I stamped the Letterpress Winter greeting in Blackberry Bliss, then punched it with the Oval Collection Framelits.  It's layered on an Island Indigo Labels Collection Framelit die-cut and a Silver Foil Deco Labels Collection die-cut.  A 1/8" Silver Ribbon bow provides the finishing touch.
 
5 sheet wonder- card 5  
5 sheet wonder- card 5a
 
Card #5—First I punched a Scallop Edge Border Punch, then I added some texture to the Island Indigo layer with the Decorative Dots Texture Impressions Folder and a 1/4" strip of Silver Glimmer Paper for sparkle.  The sentiment is from Merry Everything (wood), stamped in Perfect Plum, then punched with the Note Tag Punch, and topped off with a 1/4" Whisper White Cotton Ribbon bow. 
 
5 sheet wonder- card 6  
5 sheet wonder- card 6a
 
Card #6—The focal point of this card features a Silver Foil snowflake from the Snowflake Card Thinlit layered on an Soft Sky Label Bracket Punch background.  It's topped with a 1/8" Silver Ribbon bow.  The bottom has a 1/4" strip of Silver Foil, then a retired Greetings of the Season sentiment in Island Indigo, punched with the Extra Large Oval Punch.
 
5 sheet wonder- card 7 
 
Card #7—I embossed the card base with the new Filligree Frame Textured Impressions Folder.  The focal point is created from the Snowflake Card Thinlit.  I stamped the medium Letterpress Winter snowflake in Perfect Plum, then punched it with the 1-3/4" Circle Punch.  The sentiment is stamped in Island Indigo and punched with the 1" Circle Punch.  In between those layers is a hand-cut Silver Glimmer Paper banner.
 
5 sheet wonder- card 8 
 
Card #8—The decorative edge is punched with the Scallop Edge Border Punch. I used the Delicate Designs Texture Impressions Folder for the snowflake embossed border.  Then I wrapped the layer with the 1/4" Whisper White Cotton Ribbon. The Silver Foil sentiment is die-cut with the Wonderful Wreath Framelits.
 
5 sheet wonder- card 9
5 sheet wonder- card 9a
 
Card #9—Another decorative edge punched with the Scallop Edge Border Punch and more embossing with the Delicate Designs Texture Impressions Folder for the snowflake embossed border.  The banner is topped with a 1/4" Whisper White Cotton Ribbon bow. The Silver Foil sentiment is die-cut with the Wonderful Wreath Framelits.
 
5 sheet wonder- card 10
 
Card #10—The final card uses a 3/4" strip of Silver Glimmer Paper on the background and a 1/8" Silver Ribbon bow on the top.  The retired Greetings of the Season sentiment is stamped in Blackberry Bliss.

Tiny boxes - two cool       

Have you seen the Tiny Treat Boxes in the Holiday Catalog?  They are easy to miss because they are so... well, tiny.  Which also makes them automatically adorable even before they are decorated!  

Tiny treat 135829G 

Tiny Treat Boxes measure just 2" square and they come in a package of 25 for only $6.95.  They are designed to be used for making a Tiny Treat Box Advent Calendar!  What a fun and creative idea to hide those tiny gifts! 

We'll be decorating a Tiny Treat Box at my Fun & Festive Boxes Class, so you can try them out and see how fun they are to decorate! 

Tiny boxes - stripes  Tiny boxes - sweater       

Basic Boxes—We'll be decorating our Tiny Treat Box with some paper from the Trim The Tree Designer Series Paper Stack.  The patterns on the papers will vary, but they will all feature the traditional Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green Christmas colors.

Tiny boxes - stripes 3  Tiny boxes - sweater 3 

Box Sides Décor—Each side of the box, as well as the box top, is decorated with a 1-3/4" square of Cherry Cobbler card stock, then a 1-1/2" piece of the Trim The Tree DSP on top.  Most of my other Fun & Festive class boxes have a little accent of gold, so I added a 1/4" strip of Gold Foil on each side for a little shine.  TIP: Use just a few dabs of the Tombow Multipurpose Glue and be careful not to get glue on the shiny part.

Mosaic Madness Accent—I thought that the shape of the Mosaic Madness image kind of looked like a little holiday ornament, so I stamped one in either Cherry Cobbler or Garden Green onto Whisper White card stock, then punched it out with the coordinating Mosaic Punch.  One is popped up with Dimensionals on each side of the box.

Tiny boxes - stripes 2  Tiny boxes - sweater 2 

Box Tops—I added just a couple accents to the top of the box to finish it off.  I tied a pretty bow with Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding and attached it with a Glue Dot.  Then I stamped a tiny word from the Bright & Beautiful stamp set in Cherry Cobbler, punched it out with the Little Labels punch and popped it up with a Dimensional.  Too cute!

Anything Goes Open Stamp Night

Anything goes graphicJoin Me on Thursday, August 7th from 5:30 - 9:00 pm

You're invited to bring stamping projects and join me for an informal night of stamping at my studio!  Bring your own inks & consumables, and use my stamps & tools!  It's also a great makeup class night, in case you had to miss an event you were scheduled to attend. 

Learn More About My Anything Goes Open Stamp Nights.

Please note: Starting in September, I'll be cutting back on my Anything Goes Open Stamp Nights so I can make room for the Countdown To Christmas Class Series in my calendar.  I may try to add a night in sometime in the last quarter.

_______________________________________________________________________

Hi Stamping Friends!

It's ALMOST like Christmas!  According to my UPS tracking, my Holiday Catalog pre-order got delivered to my hometown UPS location this morning at 7am, but I can't get to it because they are closed all weekend. Waaahhh!  I'm itching and twitching like a kid at 5am on Christmas morning, having to patiently wait until I can get my hands on my holiday goodies!  Monday, sure seems like forever, right now.  LOL!

Oh well, it's not like I don't have lots of other creative projects to keep me busy.  Like the ones I'm working on today...my new TC Stamper Sampler Class featuring Blendabilities scheduled for August 20!  I'm still putting together the projects and I hope to have those and the class details on Monday.  So you'll have to wait a little bit, too!  Teehee!

TIP: Buy Your Blendabilities Now—If you are planning on attending my Blendabilities class, you'll have less wait time if you purchase some of the Blendabilities Markers colors and bring them to class.  Any colors you choose to bring will be helpful to keep the class flowing more smoothly.  Class-To-Go Kits will not include markers, but I will post a list of recommended colors when I post class details.  Order Blendabilities For Class.

Want a little sneak peek at one of the class projects?  I knew you would!
_____________________________________________________________________
 
Bloom with Blendas - two cool 
 
One of the cards we'll be creating during my class will be using the Blendabilities on some of the smaller flowers from the Bloom With Hope stamp set.  This hostess set is not only one of the prettiest sets currently available, but it has fantastic line images that are perfect for coloring! 
 
Bloom with Blendas - warm wishes 
 
This is the card base that we'll be starting with at the class, and I think I may have to change the smaller flowers to Night of Navy, because I want to use the Coastal Cabana for another card, but this one will give you the gist! 
 
Bloom with Blendas - warm wishes2 
 
Blended Blooms—I like the look of the colored blooms on the 5" x 3-3/4" Crumb Cake background for a more muted floral pattern.  I stamped the flower and leaves images in Memento Black Ink, then colored them in using the Rich Razzleberry, Coastal Cabana and Old Olive Blendabilities 3-packs of markers. 
 
Coloring Tips—I've been experiementing with different ways to do the blending, and there really is no wrong way, only personal preference.  For this card, I started by adding very thin lines of the darkest shade with the fine nib, then blending in just a bit of medium shade with the fine nib, and finally blending over the entire flower with the lighter color in the brush tip. I added more highlights with the Color Lifter, too.
 
If you look closely, you'll notice that my color is a bit outside the lines.  Part of that is due to the Blendabilities bleeding a bit more on Crumb Cake card stock than it does on Whisper White or Very Vanilla, and part of it is simply that I didn't have my reading glasses on...LOL!
 
Bloom with Blendas - warm wishes3 
 
Finishing Touches—I stamped the Blooming With Kindness sentiment above the flowers in Memento Black Ink, then mounted the stamped layer on a 5-1/8" x 3-7/8" piece of Basic Black.  I wrapped those layers with 1/4" Rich Razzleberry Cotton Ribbon, which I tied into a knot and trimmed.  Finally, I added some Rhinestone Jewels around the sentiment and adhered it to an Old Olive card base.  
 
Bloom with Blendas - kindness 
 
Since there was so much coloring on the first design, I thought I would try a simpler version for the second card, to give class attendees another quicker choice. 
 
Bloom with Blendas - kindness2
 
The flowers are once again from Bloom With Hope, and I added some Daffodil Delight in the flower centers. 
 
Bloom with Blendas - kindness3 
 
The sentiment is also from Blooming With Kindness, and this time the card is tied with an Island Indigo Cotton Ribbon and mounted on a Rich Razzleberry card base.

Don't Forget—This Is A Stamp Club Class!

My Too Cool Stamp Club members will be able to select my TC Stamper Sampler Class featuring Blendabilities Markers as their discounted club class for the month of August!  Yippee!  Right now, I'm accepting signups for Club Group #2.  If we can get 10 people to participate before August 19, we can get that group going in time for this class!  We already have a few people signed up and I hate to keep them waiting.  Won't you join us?

Hi Stamping Friends!

I'm using today's Sunday Showcase to feature the projects from my upcoming TC Stamper Sampler Class!  We'll be creating a Modern Medley Card Set that makes a wonderful gift, or you can always keep for yourself!  <wink>

I was sad that gorgeous black & vanilla Modern Medley Designer Series Paper was retiring from the last catalog, so I stocked up with the intention of using it for a class just one more time!  Because I only have a limited supply, I only have limited space available for this class.

Choose Your Flower Accent Color!  Every card features papers from the retired Modern Medley Designer Series Paper along with flowers in an accent color.  My projects are in Real Red, but you'll be able to choose the accent color you want for your kit from ANY current Stampin' Up! color!  I'm particularly fond of this paper combined with Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Cherry Cobbler, Rich Razzleberry or Melon Mambo, but the choice is yours!

Choose Your Sentiments!  My local class attendees can choose greetings from any of my current stamp sets.  If you order the Class-To-Go, I've given you plenty of room to use sentiments that you already have on hand.

Introducing The NEW, More Versatile Too Cool Stamp Club!

Too Cool Happenings!

____________________________________________________________________

Hi Stamping Friends!

I'm so excited to announce my NEW Too Cool Stamp Club today and I think you're gonna LOVE it!
 
Get ready for a Too Cool Stamp Club Logo - mednew, more versatile way to enjoy my monthly Too Cool Stamping classes, plus earn Hostess Benefits, too! 
 
What's So NEW About It?  If you're familiar with my previous Stamp Clubs, you'll notice some awesome improvements:
  • Choose the Club Class that interests you most and works with your schedule!
  • Open to both local & online stampers!
  • Lower monthly minimum order!
  • Increased guaranteed Hostess Benefits!
  • Option to order Paper Pumpkin Kits for your monthly orders!
  • No weekend classes to interfere with your plans for the lake, date night or family time!
  • New perks & incentives for bringing a friend!
How Does It Work?  Members commit to placing monthly orders of at least $20 over a 10-month period.  As part of the club, they’ll have the flexibility to choose which “Club Class” they want to attend at the discounted rate: either the “Last Thursdays” Monthly Card Class, or the new TC Stamper Sampler Class.  Members will also receive at least $30 in Hostess Dollars to spend during one month they belong to the Club.
 
Who Can Participate?  Anyone in the United States!  Whether you're local to the Fort Wayne, IN, area, or anywhere else in the country, you can sign up to enjoy classes and Hostess Benefits! 
  • Local Stampers—Will always have the choice of attending either the "Last Thursdays" class for FREE, or attending the TC Stamper Sampler Class at a discount, each month.
  • Online Stampers—Will always have the the "Last Thursdays" Class-To-Go Kit option, and will sometimes be able to choose from the TC Stamper Sampler Class, depending on how easy it is to make into a class-to-go kit.

Two Cool Stamp Club Class Options—Club members have the flexibility to select which Club Class they want to take each and every month—no need to commit to one style of class.  If you want to take both classes, you simply pay the full price for the second class.  You must select which class you want for the month by the RSVP date for that month's Stamper Sampler Class.  Choose from:

A sneak peek of the TC Stamper Sampler Class coming up on July 23.  More details to come!

  • Regular Class Fee—Varies depending on the projects each month.  Generally between $15-$25.
  • Club Member Price—$10 off the class fee.
  • When—Second To Last Wednesday of the Month (the week before Last Thursdays), 6:30pm.

  • Club Member Price—FREE
  • When—Last Thursday of the Month, 6:30pm.

Taking More Than One Class—You are always welcome to take more than one class!  Costs and requirements are the same.  For example, if the TC Stamper Sampler class was regularly $20, you would pay the discounted $10 class fee, plus a $40 order to cover the minimums for each class, plus shipping & tax on the order.

Class-To-Go Kits—If you can't make the class or are an online stamper, Class-To-Go Kits will be available for all "Last Thursdays" classes and some TC Stamper Sampler classes.  Kits will include all of the the pre-cut card stock and embellishments to assemble your projects, plus envelopes if needed.  You add your own stamping and adhesives.  No pre-stamping is included per Stampin’ Up! policy.  Step-by-step Project Instructions with photos of the completed projects will be emailed to you. 

Earning Hostess Benefits!—During one of the 10 months during your Club membership, you'll earn at least $30 in Hostess Dollars to spend on any current merchandise, including, but not limited to, the exclusive Hostess stamp sets at the back of the catalog.  Hostess months will be assigned in the order that members sign up.
  • Earn Additional Hostess Benefits—During your hostess month, you can accrue additional Hostess Benefits by adding outside orders to the club order.  Host your own party to get the most bang for your buck.
  • Shipping For Online Stampers—Hostess Rewards merchandise is shipped with the workshop order to me, so you will be responsible for actual shipping costs from me to you. 

More Club Perks!—Club members receive these additional benefits for being a member…

  • FREE Catalogs—You’ll receive new catalogs as soon as they are available!
  • FREE Class Passes—Stamping is better with friends!  You’ll receive 5 FREE Class Passes for the “Last Thursdays” class to give to 5 friends.

Ordering & Shipping—Monthly club orders must be a minimum of $20 in merchandise value (before shipping & tax), with the exception of the Paper Pumpkin 1-Month Kit option (details below).  Orders are due by the date of the class you select. 

  • Local Stampers—You can order in person, by phone or via email, and pay by cash, check or credit card.  Orders can be picked up at my house when it's convenient for you, or you can wait until the next class.
  • Online Stampers—If you're out of the Fort Wayne area, I will provide a unique Hostess Code for you each month and you will enter that when you place your order at my Online Store.  All classes will be charged a $5.60 shipping fee for Priority Shipping.  I will automatically send the "Last Thursdays" Class-To-Go Kit to you.  If I'm offering a TC Stamper Sampler Class-To-Go Kit that month, and you select that option instead, you will have to make a separate payment for the discounted class fee, plus $5.60 for Priority Shipping.  Payments can be made via PayPal or credit card on file.

Stamp Club Fine Print—Stamp Club orders do not qualify toward other classes, special events or workshops.  Once you place your first Stamp Club order, you are required to place a monthly order of at least $20 over then entire 10-month commitment.  The success of this club depends on the responsibility of its members.  This is a new program, so I reserve the right to change the guidelines in the event of an error or to make things run more smoothly.
