Unmounting stamping wheels

Stampers!!! I unmounted my stamping wheels and put them on foam cling. Now I can stamp them straight, and color them in with my markers. 

FYI, you can fit 8 standard wheels in the SU DVD cases, (4 on each side),  and 4 jumbo wheels in one case, (2 on each side).

I couldn't figure out how to stamp them, SU doesn't make a block large enough for them. I tried diagonal on the large background block. Eehh... but my demo, April Prachniak, suggested the extended plate from the Big Kick/Shot.  How ingenious!!! April, Thank you for resolving my dilemma!!!!  

(PS) to unmount them from the wheel, all you need to do is take an exacto knife and break the seam.  Then they peel right off of the wheel.  I kid you not, our little stamping friend, Morgan, who is going to be 3 years old next month, helped peel them from the wheels. She had a blast!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

My stamp club for July

I've been so busy, I didn't post the cards I had made at my stamp club.  My stamp club with April was July 19th.  If you like the cards you see and want to attend one of April's classes or join a club, you can reach her at:  http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/mystampplace/

This is the coffee filter technique.  It was really interesting to do this. LOVE it!!!

She used the scoring plate to make the tile type of background;

And I kept asking her to emboss something. I have a ton of embossing powder and it's  another thing I found myself hoarding.  HAHAHAH!! So we embossed all of this.

Get Well and Sympathy

Another great card class with April Prachniak.  She did a get well and sympathy card class, cards you typically really don't want to have to send, but are necessary to have.  

Thanks April !!!  I appreciate my birthday present!! Love them!

More Great April cards

I have not been a good friend lately.  I realized the other day that I had not posted the cards I've made at my friend and demo's April Prachniak.  I haven't been to many of her classes lately, but have been to our clubs.  If you like her cards and would like to join a club or ask her about doing a class at your home, you can contact her at http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/mystampplace/.

Here are the cards we've made over the past few clubs;

Thanks as always April !!!  I have a fantastic time when we stamp!

Lots of stamping!

It has been a terrific 2 weeks of stamping.  

These are from April Prachniak's stamp club.  If you like April's cards and you live in the Baltimore, MD area, contact her for classes or upcoming clubs at http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/mystampplace/about

I had to order the ornament punch just because of this crab. How adorable?!?!?!

Now Lynn and I got this window die (from www.poppystamps.com). I may have already posted this, but I can't help it, it's so darn cute!!!!

And we made this card too;

Then while I was at the ocean, I took some shoeboxes to make.  All of these are cased cards.  If I find the original inspiration websites, I will post them. I am not taking credit for them.  

This one I changed up a little bit.  But it's pretty much the same. LOVE IT!

I did this with chalks, and have to say, I honestly didn't like it. It really needs the markers to make it pop.

This one I did use markers and think it looks so much better.

I did this one in two different browns.  What do you think?

This one is Close To My Heart.  I absolutely love tis set, called Perfect Day.  My friend Mary Hamre is a CTMH demonstrator. If you like their products and would like to place an order, contact her at http://maryhamre.ctmh.com/

And when we got back from the ocean, I went to Lynn's house and made 8 of these.  I never have enough get well cards. (Or Sympathy cards).

I love this set.  I loved it back when I was a demo and used it and still love it now.  

Thank you so much for visiting !
