I haven't seen the stands for them yet...we'll get them when we do the actual swap from the hostess. I'm planning on keeping one calendar at my desk at work, and the other to display at my classes and workshops. I showed May in my last entry. Here is March. What do you think?

More Sneak Peeks - New Projects

Not much to say other than I'm having a blast with the new products!!! A mini Mannequin brooch holder, an eye pillow filled with flax seed and lavender, a 6 x 6 calendar page for a calendar swap I am involved with and a card using the adorable maze from the new mini.

I'd love to hear your feedback. I'm thinking about making the Mannequin and eyepillow kits available for purchase, as well as completed one's. Let me know what you think or if you would have any interest in either a kit or one already made.

Sneak Peek - New Mini and New Classes

Isn't she adorable? This is some of Stampin' Up!'s new fabric from the New Occasion Mini which will launch on January 4th. While I'm not allowed to show you the catalog, I can show you sneak peeks of projects.

This is an easy sewing project -- even for beginners and it will be part of my new monthly series focusing on Stampin' Up! fabrics. Some projects will use machine sewing, some hand sewing and some no sewing at all. Class sizes will be limited to 4 people, but if even indicate they want to sign up then I can schedule a second class. Depending on the project, each class cost will vary a little. This class is only $20. To sign up for this class, join my free meet-up site at http://www.meetup.com/Stampin-n-Stuff/.

I'd love to hear any comments you have. This was such a fun an easy project. I can see making these not only for pin cushions, but also to display brooches, earrings etc.

More sneak peeks will follow...fabric and paper.

Merry Christmas to all of you, and Happy Holidays.

Holiday Catch-Up

Boy am I behind on posting. I have so many classes, and with work and an unscheduled charity event, I haven't had a second to post anything. I did want to post my most recent Stamp Set of the Month Workshop. This month we used Lovely As a Tree. I really enjoyed this project, as did my clients.

Its a stand-alone card box with a small pocket for stamps. We also made a matching pen to include in the box. Isn't it adorable. One of my downline already made a similar card box full of baby boy thank you notes. This pattern for the card box is from Becky Roberts at Inking Idaho. Thanks Becky.

Then here are the four cards we made to go inside the card box.

True, we made all Christmas cards, but look at how different each card looks, and that was with using only one stamp set. Of course, each of my clients purchased the stamp set as part of this class (unless they had it already) so they were eager to go home and duplicate the cards.

Thanks for leaving a message to let me know that you stopped by!! I'll post my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack, Mini Card class, Simply Adorned Class and swaps soon.

Stamp Set of the Month Class - Just Believe

Its that time of month again where I focus my class on one stamp set only. With the price of the class you get the stamp set in your choice of wood or clear. Here are the projects we made this week:

After we discovered how easy it was to stamp on candles I surprised my ladies with making a Just Believe candle. It was so much fun to see them so excited! And its sooooo easy. For credits, ingredients, measurements and directions, click here.

I kept going back and forth on this card, but boy did they like it. I really liked what one of my customers did. Instead of stamping the En Francais onto the DSP paper (you can hardly see it in the photo), she stamped it in white on the black card underneath. Then she tore two corners of the DSP so you could see the written words underneath. Really beautiful.

This is a card I have been wanting to make for quite awhile. It is so easy. I could not for the life of me find any instructions on how to do the diamond, so I came up with my own way of doing it. Check back for ingredients, measurements and directions. When you see this link go live.

This is one of my favorite cards. Once again, you'll have to check back for the link as I haven't loaded the credits and the rest of the deets yet. Instead of the medium sized window pane in the picture (cause I ran out), we used the small one. I think I like it better!!

And finally,

Many of you have seen this card before as this is the card I took to swap generally at Convention this past year. These ladies had not seen it so I couldn't resist bringing it out again for them to do. You can get all the information to make this card here.

As always, thanks for stopping by!
