Technique University Monthly Meeting.

Once a month a group of ladies meet at my house for a “Technique University Session”, from 1 – 4 pm. Everyone gets to try the techniques and gets to take home the sample they have made along with instructions, to be filed in a clear file. During this time we learn 16 new techniques, last month the techniques learned were:

• Dahlia Fold
• Scallop Punch Butterfly
• Rubbing Alcohol
• Polished Stone

The next Technique University Class will be held on Sunday 20^th September from 1 – 4 pm. In this class you will learn 16 techniques that can be used for scrapbooking and card-making. Class cost is $25: – $5 for class costs and $20 credit towards purchasing items from any current Stampin’ Up! Catalogue.

Cool Choo Choo Train, Right on Track

I just love this stamp set and co-coordinating wheel, available from the Spring Mini Catalogue.

These are so versatile, they can be used for Birthday cards or Baby cards. The wheel makes a cool winding track and could also be used as a farm fence.

Selection of Sympathy, Thinking of you, Get well Cards

These cards are handy to have on hand, especially for the unexpected moments in our life. (Most of these cards have been “cased” from Splitcoaststampers web site)

Belated Birthday Card

A while ago my lovely up-line Vicki sent me a beautiful birthday card. Using the Fifth Avenue Floral Stampin’ Up! stamp set on white glossy card. Doesn’t it look gorgeous?  And the added zing of Dazzling Diamonds glitter just sets it off lovely.
