Aug 23, 2020 | 12 Cards of Christmas, Cards, Class by Mail |
It’s time to get started on Christmas Cards (if you haven’t already). The time consuming part is the design, cutting and prepping. This class has that part done for you. You will complete the fun part – the stamping, assembling, and writing notes and sending to family and friends. My plan is to offer several of these classes between now and December. And the best part – we will do this with safe social distancing. This is an at home class and available for porch pickup or in the mail.

Christmas Card Stamp A Stack – In the Pines
This first Stamp a Stack class will feature the In The Pines stamp set on page 43 for the Aug-Dec Mini Catalog. If you remember my 12 cards of Christmas challenge – this is going to be card 4 & 5. I’ve already completed one set of 12 and will complete another set as part of this class.
Class supplies will include all the cut card stock, paper, envelopes, ribbon, and die cut, and embossed pieces. You will supply your own stamps, ink and adhesive. A written tutorial with photos will be emailed to you and a link to a video showing you how to make the card. Each class kit will include supplies to make 12 of the same card. I will also schedule a zoom for us to gather virtually to make our cards together. Date to be determined after everything is mailed.

Apr 20, 2020 | Achievers Blog Hop, Cards, To-Go Class |
Hello – it’s Monika Davis from the USA. I’m joining the Maui Trip Achievers Blog Hop this month. This blog hop is for demonstrator all over the world that earned the Maui Incentive trip last year. There are many amazing stampers in this group so be sure to visit the other blogs in the hop. The list is down below. I’m so excited to have earned this incentive trip and go on one of my bucket list trips. A special thanks to my customers and team members for supporting me throughout the year. Greg tells me all the time that he can’t believe the places we have been able to see because of Stampin’ Up! – now to achieve the next one……

This month we have an early release from our upcoming Stampin’ Up! Catalog. It is the Ornate Garden Suite and it is full of beautiful products. Two stamp set and die bundles, a specialty designer series paper, an embossing folder, a ribbon combo pack and some shiny gilded gems. Today’s card is one I shared last week on my Facebook live. You can watch my FB Live from April 13th to see how I made this card a a couple of others – https://www.facebook.com/AtMonikasPlace/videos/576835672927289/
So Grateful Ornate Garden Card

I used the Stamparatus to help with this card. Use the step feature I was able to stamp the large “So Grateful” all the way down my piece of card stock and keep it all perfectly lined up. Then I added my small words in between each one. I trimmed the Whisper White panel very close and then added it to the card front over a piece of the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Feb 20, 2019 | Baby, Big Shot, Cards, class |
In my monthly card class – Quick & Cute Cards – I try to always have an option for a baby card – with both a blue and a pink option. I guess maybe I need a neutral option too. Do people still wait for the surprise to find out at the birth if it is a boy or a girl? My oldest is 27 years old and we waited until he was born so it was a surprise. But my two younger ones we knew before they were born that they would be boys. I wonder what young parents are doing these days. Anyway I thought I’d share with you the card that I currently have in my card class.

I love the Little Elephant stamp set in the Annual Catalog. It comes as a bundle with the Elephant Builder punch – that’s a 10% savings! For these baby cards I paired the bundle with the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper and the coordinating Baker’s Twine. You could easily switch the Pool Party and the Petal Pink and use the Soft Sea Foam print that comes in the paper pack for a neutral gender card. Pair that one with the silver and white Baker’s Twine instead of the colored ones that I used on these cards.
Supply List
- #148340 Little Elephant Bundle = stamp set + Elephant Builder Punch
- #146284 Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper
- #146286 Twinkle Twinkle Card Stock pack
- #140272 Thick Whisper White Card Stock (I use this for the card base)
- #100730 Whisper White card stock (I use this for the tag, circle and stamping the elephant
- #147118 Gray Granite Classic ink
- #147107 Pool Party Classic ink
- #147108 Petal Pink Classic ink
- #146288 Silver & Petal Pink Bakers Twine
- #147015 Silver & Pool Party Bakers Twine

- #143730 Wood Crate Framelits (that’s where the tag is from)
- #141705 Layering Circles Framelits
- #143263 Big Shot Die Cutting Machine
This set can be used for more than baby cards. It has a variety of greetings included – for friendship, thanks, and celebrations. Thanks for stopping by today.
