Registration Open for October Delicate Pines Online Class

Hi, stamping friends, this is my 2nd post today. If you’re looking for my card, you can find it Here. We just finished up with our September Fall class, and everyone got a sneak peek at our October class. We’ve got another class ready to go and we would love for you to join us!!

Tara Carpenter and I are teaming up to offer another fun online class using Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Delicate Pines Bundle along with the Snowflake Kisses Bundle and Elegant Pines DSP.  We will be creating 6 different Holiday/Winter cards during the class including 2 Beginner Stamper cards, 2 Casual Stamper Cards and 2 Advanced Stamper Cards.  Click Here to Reserve Your Spot

The class fee includes:

  • Stampin’ Up! Iridescent Foil Gems (full pack)
  • Stampin’ Up! Secret Sea 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon (full pack)
  • Pre-cut card kits to complete each card
  • Zoom class with complete instructions to complete each card
  • PDF with detailed directions

During sign up you will have the option to add additional items to your order that you can take advantage of at no additional shipping cost.  These items are optional, however if you want to recreate the cards you will need them. If you’ve attended a previous class, you were given a discount code, there is a spot to put that code on the form and the discount only applies to the products that you check off that you wish to purchase, not the class.  Since the Bundles are already discounted, the discount does not apply to them either.

The class will be held Sunday October 19th (this is a week earlier than our normal classes due to Tara and I attending our yearly retreat) from 1 to 4 pm Eastern Time via Zoom.  This allows anyone in the United States to participate live!  Can’t join us live… no worries, we will record the session so it can be replayed at any time.

I will email written directions that will include directions, cardstock cuts as well as photos to help you create each card.

The bundles are not included in the price of the class.  You can purchase the bundle through me at an additional 10% discount of the Online Exclusive price (see below).

Class Cost $35 + $10 (Priority Shipping) 

Additional purchased items will be included in the above shipping price.  I will invoice you through PayPal and invoices must be paid by October 5th to insure I can get the products delivered, packaged up and out to you with enough time.  

Deadline: Sunday October 5th 

Click Here to Register for our October Class. Let me know if you have any questions.

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. How is your week going? We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend.

I have a fun Christmas card for you today that is really very easy. I am loving the new products from the September-December Mini Catalog and the September Online Exclusives. How about you, what’s your favorite?  If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

On a panel of Basic White stamp, the elf image from the Stampin’ Up! Festive Friends Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the image with Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Ivory, Granny Apple Green, Real Red and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers. To get the elves outfit Garden Green, first color it with Dark Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Marker then go over it with Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Marker.
