Brandy's card class - What fun!!!

Last night was Brandy's card class.  What a great time.  Just spending time with friends and stamping is such a great night out for me.  If you would like to attend one of Brandy's card classes, you can check her schedule or contact her at http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/brandyboccia

This is so pretty! Using the Create-a-cupcake punch for the clouds was ingenious!!!

Say so long to this set... Cheers To You has been discontinued. Get it while you can! 

I think this stamp is so pretty! It's new in the Stampin' Up! catalog and it's called Four Frames. 

And the green punch on here is being discontinued.  I really wish Stampin' Up! wouldn't discontinue their punches.  They still have the hardware available that utilizes this punch!  But Brandy did a great job with all of this... sooo pretty!!! 

Brandy's 5-18-2011 card class

First, Brandy, I'm sorry these were published so late.  I left the next day for the ocean and didn't have time to publish them. 

These are some terrific cards we made at Brandy's house.  If you like the cards and would like to attend one of her classes, you can contact Brandy at http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/brandyboccia

I love Create A Cupcake!!!

This was fun! 

Who doesn't like beer?  Cheers to you! 

And aahhhh Sweet Summer; 

Brandy, Thanks for a wonderful evening, as always!!!

Stamping with Lynn

Today was a pretty good day. Started out a bit on the slow side. Rich left for St. Louis... got up at 4am (YUCK *~*) because his flight to Georgia was early, then a layover and onward to St. Louie.  The pups were wired and took a wee nap.  My friend Lynn Haase, who lives about 5 miles from me, is always UBER busy, but today, alas, we were able to get in some stamping time.

Lynn made this beer card with Stampin' Up Cheers To You set.  The pretty ribbon type of scallopy border, she made with a Martha Steward border punch.  She just did it on both sides of the paper. My friends are so ingenious this way!!!!  But she had made this before I had gotten there.  While I was there, she was working on something for her father's 80th birthday.  Happy Early Birthday dad!!!

I, on the other hand, made 12 birthday cards, in 3 different colors, using the Stampin Up Pocket Sillhouettes set and Well Scripted set, and 2 different Stampin Up embossing folders.

Here they are in Riding Hood Red and River Rock; 

Here they are in Marina Mist and Bashful Blue;

And here are the final four in Perfect Plum and Pale Plum.

As Lynn mentioned while I was stamping these, hahahaha... these are going to have to go to all my "gal" friends... I don't think a fella is going to want this card. 

Now that gives me something to look forward to doing with her on our next stamping adventure.  Manly birthday cards.

Thanks for checkin' them out.



Lynn's club with April's cards

Well... when I get together with friends to stamp, it's always fun.  Last night was Lynn's club night and she wanted to use the cupcake punch and the shakers and movers die.  This is what April brought for us to make. I love them!!!  Then again, there isn't anything April has done that I haven't liked.  If you like the cards and want to join one of April's stamp classes, you can contact her at http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/mystampplace/blog
