April Stamp Club

April clubs are already done, I can’t believe how fast the time goes! It’s 3 weeks till May-imagine….one step closer to Summer!

For club this month, I showed the ladies different way’s to cover chipboard. The one we used for the actual project was using patterned paper with glitter. You can cover chipboard in so many way’s-covering with craft or classic ink, stamping a pattern with a stamp, covering with glitter, clear embossing, patterned paper, cardstock, rub-on’s and so much more….here’s the card we made:

The second project we did was a Scratch ‘n Sniff card-if you haven’t tried this, you really want to!!!! The cards made are just YUMMY!!!! I cased this card from a swap card received by Rosalie Crich and I added the greeting and made it into a Scratch ‘n Sniff.
Scratch ‘n Sniff Tip: I used 2 different coloured markers to colour the strawberry, huffed on it and stamped on my cardstock. Let dry or heat set, then use the versamarker to cover the stamped strawberry. Use clear embossing powder mixed with Sugar-Free Kool-Aid (1Tbsp Kool Aid to 1 ½ Tbsp of Clear Embossing Powder) to cover the strawberry and heat set.

I just love how bright and "summery" this card is! Can you tell I’m looking forward to Summer?

Have a great day! Josee

What I love about Stampin’ Up!

Ok…this isn’t the only thing….but, I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the free stuff!!! We found out recently that all the demonstrators will be receiving a free stamp set called Time Well Spent! It’s going to be a level 3 hostess stamp set out of the Spring-Summer Collection 2008 Catalogue.

Some of the ladies have begun to receive them already and I have to tell you………the samples are AWESOME!!! I’ll be sure to share some when I get mine!

Did you know that Stampin’ Up! Canada started about 5 1/2 years ago?? Amazing how time flies…and I can honestly say…they just keep getting better!

While we’re on memory lane….here’s a picture of my stamping room when I first started with SU in April 2002.

I was so proud and of course still am!!!

If you haven’t seen my stamp room…I’ll take some photo’s to show you how much it’s changed & post them soon!

Have a very happy RUBBER STAMPING day!!! Josee

All ready for Christmas…
