Every month I have a Card Maker’s Class at my stamping studio. It’s the perfect class for every level of stamper. You get to make the cards that you need and work at your own pace. Card choices vary each month. I’m there to help you with anything you need. Upcoming dates for this class are:
Friday, October 27 – 10 am and 7 pm
Friday, November 17 – 10 am and 7 pm
Friday, December 15 – 10 am and 7 pm
Here is a look at the card choices from the September class last week.
Every card is in a shoe box with all the supplies inside. You select a box take it back to your seat, make one or more cards and then clean everything and return the supplies to the box and the box to the table.
My Paper Pumpkin subscribers get to make a bonus card – it’s an alternate idea using the stamps from the monthly kit. This month my class was held before my kit arrived (actually my kit arrived the day of class) so I had a second idea for the August kit.
If you live local I hope you can join me!

Remember a few days ago I posted about the Spooky Cat Bundle and the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper – you can read it HERE. I was telling you about the Designer Series paper and how some of the designs were special. For this card I used the Pumpkin print paper which coordinates with the Patterned Pumpkins Thinlits Dies.
Those little pumpkins are from the Spooky Nights Designer Series paper – cut perfectly with the Patterned Pumpkins Thinlits Dies. I also used two other strips of paper from the pack. The stamps are from the Spooky Cat stamp set – the “Happy Halloween” and also the little striped image at the top. Plus I added Black Rhinestone Jewels.
Something exciting is coming soon – two perfectly coordinated crafting kits filled with projects for your holiday card making and gifting needs. Fun, easy and ready for you to get creative!
You must subscribe by October 10th to receive the October Kit and by November 10th to receive the November Kit.
I have a couple of cards that I made using the August Paper Pumpkin Kit – Giftable Greetings. For these I’ve used the stamp set and the ink that came in the monthly kit and then added some card stock that I had already on hand.
The Thinking of You card also has some Pearls and Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine added to it. The Sympathy card has an added strip of Designer Series Paper that’s been stapled on.
I just received my September kit and plan to play with it this weekend to create an alternate idea for this month’s A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop happening on the 28th. So be sure to stop in an see all the ideas that our group has.
There are many colors in the Stampin’ Up! color families that can be considered fall colors. Even though I usually say that my favorite time of the year is spring; I think my favorite colors of the year are the fall colors. I love all the earthy natural colors that are considered the colors of fall.
The card I have today actually came from a project that a demonstrator friend, Erica Cerwin, created. She made these cute fall boxes filled with some type of candy. She always finds the neatest stuff. I loved the project but was working on card ideas for my stamp club and decided to take what she did on the box and turn it into a card. If you follow Erica you will see that this looks familiar.
These are the colors that I used – Daffodil Delight, Peekaboo Peach, Tangerine Tango, Garden Green, Soft Suede.
The stamp set is called Pick a Pumpkin and the coordinating Patterned Pumpkins Thinlits Dies. You can get them as a bundle. The dies also match the pumpkins on one of the Spooky Night Designer Series paper patterns. The stamp set has no words with it so I used the set Banners For You and the Bunch of Banners Framelits to add a greeting to my card.
I’m not sure if you can see the large scallop in the Soft Suede – it’s part of the background and that die is in the Seasonal Layers Thinlits die set. I love the big scallop edge.
Last weekend we went up to visit my son Ryan at school in Indiana. We stayed over night at his girlfriends parents house. I made a gift basket for them – I brought them a variety of things from Georgia. And I also made a sweet little treat for the dog! An 8 month old puppy.
I had a clear box from an earlier catalog – I believe they were 3×3 clear boxes. I filled the box with milkbones. Currently we have Tiny treat boxes that are clear – you could use those for cat treats or mini bones – or use the Acetate Boxes in the Holiday catalog and fill one of those with milk bones.
I used the Smoky Slate Gingham Ribbon to tie around the box and added a tag. The tag is Basic Gray card stock cut with the Layering Squares – one of the scallop squares. And a piece of Watercolor Paper. Stamp the dog from Bella & Friends and watercolor. Here is a picture of Cooper – isn’t he cute! He even looks like the little dog on the tag. And that’s Emily – Ryan’s girlfriend.
