Monthly Stamping Opportunties

Below are Classes and other Stamping Opportunities you are welcome to join in
Thought I’d send out a list of the Monthly Stamping events that I host here at my Home.  Each of these is Open to You as a stamper.  Some events are on a month-to-month basis; some have commitments that have min orders and where you can earn Free Merchandise though the SU Hostess benefits

Just Cards
Three times to choose from:
Two evening (Monday’s and Thursday’s) 6pm-8:00.
Morning Coffee and Cards Class. 9:30am-11: 30am
All Cards are the same each month.
 There are THREE Designs and you make three of each card,
for a total of 9 Cards for $15.  (No order required)

Stamp Camp
Monthly: Saturday Mornings, 9am-12 noons.  Six stations are set up and you will go from Station to station and make 6 projects for $15.  These projects are not limited to only cards, hand stamped gift items are incorporated in with the projects.  Also each month you will add a new 6x6 Recipe card. (No order required)

Specialty Class that include but not limited to techniques and Scrap booking.  These Classes are on a quarterly basis, and are designed to teach you more about using Stampin’ Up! Products.  Each of these classes there will be a fee and will include the product needed.

Stamp Club
Stamp Club is a great way to learn and earn!
 Each month there will be three projects for you that are easy but do stretch your skills as a stamper.  As a Club member you agree to the club’s minimum order each month and the Free Hostess Merchandise (which includes Exclusive Stamp sets and Product Dollars to get what ever you want) are rotated so that each member receives these benefits.  There is no fee for being in a club.  When the new Idea Book and Catalog is released you get a free copy and it will be spiral bound!  Club member get special treatment.  It’s a great way to be able to start or add to your supplies on a monthly basis and learn more about stamping and crafting.  

Other Stamping events can be when you HOST your own Stampin’ Up! Workshop at your home with your friends.  I’ll bring the fun and all the projects, YOU reap all the Hostess benefits!
Contact me to Schedule yours!

All of these are on my Calendar www.janburnett.stampinup.net
March “Just Cards” has open spots.  Deadline to hold your spot is Saturday March 5th.
Class is Monday March 7th and Thursday March 24th

Creating your own designer paper

 Today was spent in my stamp room (mostly Playing) creating the projects for Stamp Camp this Saturday.  I usually spend sometimes days looking at all the samples that are on sites to get that creative juices flowing.  Some times it's easier than others.  But once it starts... It seems I can't quit!  I love that.  Above is where I've placed three of the clear mount stamps  from the "Nature Walk" stamp Set to create my own designer paper.
 Here is how it turned out.  It was easy!  The images are stamped in Crumb Cake ink.  The Bird cage is stamped in Early Espresso  to give that contrast look, and then I cut it out with our wonderful paper snips!  I applied it with some Stamping dimensional so that it pops out.  Colors I chose are Early Espresso , Not quite Navy and Natural Ivory.  Light sponging around the edges and layered on top of the textured Vintage wallpaper design that was created with my Big Shot and the embossing folder.
I'm hoping everyone will enjoy making this card and want to try making their own collage to create their own designer paper.  This stamp set is in our current Mini catalog which is available through the end of April, I suggest you add it to your collection.
