Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Symphony CAS

Good Snowy Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. We are under blizzard warning conditions here in NJ. So far, we have 15″ and it’s supposed to continue until 6pm tonight. No work today since only plows and emergency vehicles are allowed out. I let my pups out this morning, and they were buried, both of them are only about 20″ when standing on all 4’s. I saw that this is the 1st time in 30 years that we’ve had this bad of a blizzard warning. I thought I’d share this picture of 30 years ago when my son was 6-months old and this was his 1st snowstorm.

Today I have a quick and easy CAS card for you featuring one of my go to sets. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

February’s Free Online Fun Fold Class Registration Open

It’s time to cash in those Bonus Coupons (starting February 3), so Tara Carpenter and I are offering a Free Online Zoom Class for February.  We will be creating 6 different Fun Fold cards; we’re hoping to show you how easy some fun folds can be.  This class will be FREE with a $50 purchase from my Online Store.   We will not be sharing the products we are using since the cards we make live will most likely be using new products that will be available in March (a week after the class).

The class requirements:

  • Visit my Online Store and place a $50 or more order before tax and shipping and after coupon codes.
  • Once you have made the purchase, fill out the Google Form HERE and submit.

What you will receive:

  • Zoom class with complete step by step instructions to complete each card as we go.
  • PDF with detailed directions and photos
  • A Link to the recorded class after we are done so you can watch it again and make more cards.

A week before the class I will send you the complete PDF of the cards so you can cut all your cardstock gather your supplies, so you are ready to go.  We will NOT be cutting cardstock or doing any die cutting live since all the cards will be different.  Everyone’s cards will be unique since you will pick which color cardstock and ink you want to use along with the Designer Series Paper, Ribbon & Embellishments for each card.

The class will be held on Sunday February 22nd from 1pm – 4pm Eastern Time via Zoom.  This will allow everyone all over the United States to participate live!  

I will email you the Zoom link to the class a day before the event.
