Valentine's Countdown and a Sale

Here's another sweet card that's part of the Valentine's class I'll be teaching next week at Inspiration-Boutique. 

It's the best of Verve's coordinating Plain Jane stamps and A Cut Above dies. I think I really like this one.

Julee always has a sweet special at the store. It's time to go check the discounts and find something to give yourself for Valentine's Day, right?!?!?!?!

Valentine Verve

It's time for a fun and notable Valentine for Share today. This card is a sweet and quick card with Verve's No Matter What set and it also has a fun cut file using my Pazzles Inspiration Creative Cutter. Those spiral note paper layers were the result of enlarging and chopping a few cut lines from the original file and then I hand-scored with my Martha Stewart Score Board (which if I had the embossing tool for the Creative Cutter it would have all been done from my machine!)

If you're in the Treasure Valley and want a card like this you are in luck! Sign up for the Valentine Card Class at Inspiration Boutique in February!

If you want to know more about Copic Markers, there's a class for that, too!

I'll be back tomorrow with Stampendous and some of their NEW stamps and Essentials! Can't wait to show you!

New for my New Year

I'm teaching classes. Yep, it's an exciting new adventure for me. I couldn't be more happy in a setting with other crafty people. I'm getting to teach my first love [coloring] and how it flourishes [stamping] in my free time.

You'll find me at Inspiration Boutique in Kuna, Idaho, coloring and stamping two times a month.

Today it's a Copic Marker class and I can't wait for it to start. Signing up is real easy through the stores calendar program.  My next class helps out those spur moments when you need a card and even getting to the store to buy one take time. Here's one of the cards for our All Ocassion Cards class.

I admit that I'm trying to make sure the cards are metered mail safe. I usually hand deliver my more elaborate cards and those happen to be the ones I show through my blog. It's difficult to hold back. LOL

I'm using a Verve Stamps Plain Jane for this card, which reminds me, today is also the 5th of the month and that means Inspiration Hop! You can get to the beginning of the hop by starting on Julee's blog today.

I'm a bit happy about my new adventure and curious as well. So I want to know...
What's your favorite class to take?
