Sneak Peek of Black & White Camp Cards

I will be holding a Black & White Card Camp in September. There will be a morning session on Thursday, September 25th at 9:30AM here in my classroom and an evening session on Sunday, September 28th at 6:30PM also here in my classroom. The cost of the camp is $20 for 8 cards. If you bring a friend (someone new to me), you will receive $5 off your camp fee. If you place an order (minimum of $35), you will receive $5 off your camp fee. Currently, I am posting half of the cards. I will add the other four cards soon.


The card on the left was partially CASE'd from "cobbco_stamper" on SCS; it uses Fresh Cuts (such a versatile set!). The card on the right uses Embrace Life.


The card on the top was CASE'd from a card by "bksjones" on SCS; it uses Baroque Motifs (a favorite, very versatile set!). The bottom card is similar to a card made by "scrown8301" on SCS. I just love the Paisley background stamp!

This should be a rather fun camp! I hope you'll join me! Please RSVP to me by e-mail if you would like to attend.

HAPPY STAMPING

Christmas in August - Card Details - Part I

So, I thought I would break it down some and give you the details for half of the cards we made at the Christmas in August camp on Monday night. We had a great crowd! I wanted to keep at least most of the cards simple so that if people choose to copy any of them for their Christmas card, it won't be an overwhelming task.

I am going to start with the cards that are not made with actual Christmas stamp sets. One of them, Crab & Company has a couple of Christmas stamps that come as part of the set, but the overall set is not a Christmas set.


This card is done based on a technique on Amy Celona's blog. She is an amazingly talented Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I'm hoping to one day get to meet her! Every person that did this card at Camp came out with a card that looked different, but equally GORGEOUS!

Lovely as a Snowy Tree (titled as Amy Celona titled hers - I couldn't resist!)
Stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Sanded
Paper: Always Artichoke, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Craft Very Vanilla
Accessories: sponge, sponge dauber, hemp twine


This card I CASE'd (Copy And Share with Everyone - in case you were wondering) from "abcde" on SCS.

Jingle Shells
Stamps: Crab & Company
Paper: Certainly Celery, Basic Black, Always Artichoke, Very Vanilla
Ink: Always Artichoke
Accessories: Spiral Tab Punch, 1 1/4" Square Punch, 1 3/8" Square Punch, Real Red Marker


This card I cased from "Jova29" on SCS.

Happy Holidays Mistletoe
Stamps: Fresh Cuts, Happy Everything
Paper: Whisper White, Bravo Burgundy
Ink: Bravo Burgundy, Kiwi Kiss
Accessories: Bravo Burgundy 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon


I LOVE THIS CARD (it's one of my favorite stamp sets)! I cased this one too - I got this one from "samswindle" on SCS.

Baroque Motifs Christmas
Stamps: Baroque Motifs, Holidays & Wishes
Paper: Bravo Burgundy, Mellow Moss, Very Vanilla
Ink: Mellow Moss, Bravo Burgundy
Accessories: NONE

HAPPY STAMPING!

Christmas in August Camp Monday, August 25th - Sneak Peek!

I have all my cards ready for Monday's Christmas in August Stamp Camp! I thought you'd all like a sneak peek! There are still a few spaces left if anyone is interested! It's being held here in my classroom. The cost is $20 for 8 cards. If you bring a friend (new to me), get $5 off your camp fee. If you place an order, receive $5 off your camp fee (minimum $25 order to receive discount). If you're interested in attending, just send me an e-mail and I'll get right back to you!

I wish I could take credit for coming up with all these beautiful cards, but I really only came up with two of them! I cased the other six!


The Merry & Bright card (snowman) and the Snow jumbo wheel cards (ultra simple cards) are mine. The Baroque Motifs card I cased from "samswindle" on SCS and the Freshcuts card I cased from "Jova29" on SCS. I particularly like both of these cards because they are NOT actually Christmas stamp sets!



The Lovely as a Tree card I totally and completely cased from Amy Celona. I think my card looks beautiful and it totally does NOT do justice to Amy's card - she is simply AMAZING (you really should check out her blog)! The JOY card using Punch Pals, I cased from "mendiolat" on SCS. The Santa card using Jolliest Time of the Year I cased from "ckreege" on SCS. And the Jingle Shells card, I cased from "abcde" on SCS.

On most of the cards I did something to alter it in some way, shape or form, but the original ideas are not mine and I want to give credit where credit is due.

I'm excited about the Christmas in August stamp camp on Monday night - I just wish my order from Stampin' Up! had arrived in time to use new sets! Oh well, there's always next time!

Happy Stamping!
