Open to ANYONE in the United States!  Everyone loves to play Bingo!  I know I do! So why not combine a few fun games of Bingo with a little card class as well.  I’ve held these in the past when I had classes in my studio and they were a big hit so I thought why not do them still since I have gone all online and share the fun with my customers and friends online as well.  So, I am bringing both my love of games and card making to you online.  This is a great way to have a little fun while still social distancing.  I am featuring some NEW catalog products with prizes all coming from the new catalog! 

Join me for an awesome card class…plus we will play 6 games of different types of Bingo as well!  Quick bingo, 5 number bingo and coverall!

You can bet on some awesome prizes from the new catalog!  Everyone who joins in will receive a SWAG BAG of supplies before Bingo (with shipping cooperating), with 2 lucky bingo cards, plus supplies to make the cards that night.  You must join us LIVE on Zoom on Saturday, August 15, 2020 at 1 pm central standard time.  We will play BINGO, and then create your four cards.   

Space is limited! (Every time I have done this live it sold out way before the event deadline….so do not delay!)    

If you can not join us live then you will get to enjoy the cards, but we will play Bingo together live on Zoom. 


The make and takes will feature the stamp set/bundle Fancy Phrases on page 126 in the new Annual Catalog.  You can use any set you have or add this on to your kit to be included. 


Everyone who registers will receive a swag bag of supplies and products that you will use on the make & takes and then have lots left over.  Plus 2 bingo cards and more to play bingo with us LIVE on a Zoom video call. 

Everyone with internet access can download Zoom.  I will open the room about 15 to 30 minutes early so everyone can join, and I can try to help everyone.  Zoom is easy to join so I know you can do it. 

Cost is $40.00 (includes supplies to be shipped to you early so you can create your projects along with us.  Plus, a swag bag of supplies and the chance to play bingo and win door prizes!)  Shipping is getter better, but I cannot guarantee anything.  Kits will ship by August 7th. 

Add on extra bingo cards (2 extra bingo cards for $10)  and the featured stamp set ($22) or the bundle ($40.50) that we will be using that day! 

Remember that space is limited!  I will be doing all the cutting and prep work and I want to keep our Zoom limited, so space will be open only WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!

Deadline to register is July 31, 2020…I will send out the Zoom link a few days a head of time. 

This is a card class with Bingo for fun, and I will be doing a couple different kinds of bingo for some added fun!  I will generate the freebies with host rewards, and I will give that back to all of you in a fun way!  I hope you can join in!

Four Corner Flap Card - How To Video


Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share the fun little card that I created during my Facebook Live on Wednesday night this week.  I created a fun little fun fold card inspired by Gloria Plunkett's design I found on Pintrest.  I loved this little card so much that I just had to make my own version of it.  Here's a look at my card that features the A Grand Kid Stamp Set and the Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper.  


I love this card for one reason because it showcases both sides of your designer series paper.  Which I love!  I I don't have to worry to much about which side I am going to use because you can see both sides.  Which is always a problem when you use Designer Series Papers.  Sometimes you just can not decided which side to face up.  This takes card of that problem.  


My sentiment came from the A Grand Kid Stamp Set which has some very fun sentiments that can be used for anyone not just a grandchild.  And considering I don't have kids or grandkids it's a good thing.  To make this card you will need four sheets of Designer Series paper cut at 2 1/2" x 1 7/8".  You are going to fold one corner down on each one to make the Four Corner Flap Card.  I measured in from one side a 1/2" on the bottom or top depending on which way your DSP will be facing.  And 1 1/8" from the side and made two little pencil marks to know where to score at.  

Video Tutorial: 



If you are viewing this post by email you may have to click here to view the video.  Not all mail servers like to show the embedded videos.  


After cutting scoring and folding in the flaps on the designer series paper you are going to need something to put them on.  I used a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Just Jade Cardstock as my card front base.  I added each piece of the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper to the card front with a little Stampin' Seal Adhesive with just a little 1/8" border around the edges.  My center border was just a little bigger.  I stamped my sentiment from the A Grand Kid Stamp Set in Just Jade Classic Ink and cut it out with the next to the smallest Stitched Square Die from the Stitched Shapes Dies.  I cut it where it created a diamond and placed it in the center of the card front with a couple Stampin' Dimensionals.  I added the card front to a Thick Whisper White card base cut at 4 1/4 x 11 (scored at 5 1/2).  


Here's my Product Recipe card that contain the main parts of the card.  You can save this to one of your inspiration boards on Pinterest if you would like.  Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you have a wonderful weekend.  If you need any of the supplies you have seen today they can be picked up in my Online Store by clicking on the items in the Shopping List below.

Gorgeous Posies Project Kit & Rick's Kit Night

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit and the cards that you can make from this kit.  Stampin' Up! kits are great for everyone.  If you are new to crafting, or you are a seasoned crafter you will find the kit that's right for you.  Stampin' Up! offers four different types of kits; you have Subscription kits (Paper Pumpkin), All Inclusive Kits, Project Kits, and Product Medleys.  We are going to be talking about the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit today but before I get to far into this kit let me share with you a look at this kit.

The Gorgeous Posies Project Kit:  

The Gorgeous Posies Project Kit is as the name says a Project Kit.  Meaning it's a little different from the Paper Pumpkin Subscription Kit and All Inclusive Kits.  A project kit is a a selection of products with predesigned projects.  Almost all of the supplies you need to make the projects comes inside the kit.  With the exception of a Stamp Set, ink and adhesive.  They are designed for someone that may have a few supplies on hand but wants to make some fun quick cards but don't want to do any design work.  You get precut supplies ready to make the kit you just have to provide a few extra things.

Here's a look at everything that comes inside the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit.  I especially love the box that the supplies come in with this kit.  It will hold all the precut supplies and the finished cards once you have made them all.  This kit comes with the supplies to make 16 cards 4 each of 4 designs and matching Purple Posy and Highland Heather Envelopes.  I sat down a few weeks ago and made the cards (as instructed in the instructions) for this kit in about an hour and a half.  Yes, I made all sixteen cards in that amount of time and I followed the directions.  I normally will end up going rouge after a little while but I actually made them all according to the included directions, and I had a blast doing so.  For this project kit you will need the Gorgeous Posies Stamp Set, Ink Pads in Blackberry Bliss, Blushing Bride, Highland Heather, and Gorgeous Grape.  Along with your bone folder, paper snips and the following adhesives; Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals, and Mini Glue Dots.  The Mini Glue dots are not listed in the supplies but I found them very helpful with a few of the projects.  Here's a look at the Gorgeous Posies Stamp Set.

Closer look at the Cards from the Kit: 

Let's look at the cards that the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit makes shall we.  I took pictures of each of the cards that I made using this project kit just so that I could give you a closer look at how cute these cards really are.  Sometimes the pictures in the catalogs and website are not close enough to see them really well. 




Rick's Kit Night: 

I love our kits so much that I have decided to hold a Stampin' Up! Kit Night.  I know if you are like me you may have a Stampin' Up! Kit sitting around your house that you have not put together yet.  So I wanted to have a crafting night and we all get together and put one of our kits together.  You don't have to buy a Stampin' Up! kit to attend if you already have one.  You can bring a Paper Pumpkin Kit, a All Inclusive Kit, a Project Kit, or a Product Medley.  It can be current or retired as long as it's a Stampin' Up! Kit.  I wanted us all to beat the heat and during this time it's a great way to get together and do a little crafting.  


My Kit night will be held on Tuesday, July 20th at 7 pm CST via my Zoom craft room.  You have until Monday July 19th to register for this free event.  You can register by clicking here.  I hope that you will join me for a fun night of crafting.  
Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you have a wonderful day.  If you would like to order one of the Kits you will find all the items I used to make it in the Shopping List below.  

Happy Stampin'
