September Virtual Card Class

Yesterday was the monthly card class that I have been holding for almost 10 years.  People have come and gone over the years, but yesterday all but one of my core people attended to make the following three cards.

The past several months we have been holding the classes "virtually" through a Zoom meeting, and I believe I can say we all have a good time.  It obviously isn't the same as being in person.  For some people it is easier not to have to travel since we moved to our new 55+ community 3 years ago and are further away from most of my original attendees.  It saves a ton of time as well as gives us the opportunity to wear slippers to craft!

If any of you are interested in card classes, please let me know.  I can work on a time that is convenient for you if Saturday mornings don't work.  Sign ups have started for my next quarter of classes that are planned and already to mail out or to schedule a porch pick up.  Please email me at abolse@yahoo.com with any questions or details of the upcoming classes.

Several seats still remain for the October 3rd World Cardmaking Day BINGO Bash!  Sign up soon so I can get the kits and BINGO cards out to you!

Have a great Sunday!

GO EAGLES!

Saturday Thoughts

 

Having a "Whale of a Time"

 After last Friday's video I couldn't make myself put away the Whale Bundle and stack of Designer Series Paper I had left over so I decided to try another video and created another card.  This card is popular with many bloggers lately, since you can still mail it without any additional postage, as it fits in a business size envelope.  

Join my Facebook Group, "Menagerie of Crafts" to view the video I made demonstrating how simple and easy this card is to make.  Uses all Stampin' Up Products and dimensions are listed in the comments area.

Until the end of September I am offering some specials on these items with reduced shipping costs as well as some cardstock shares.  If you are interested, please let me know I would be more than happy to answer any questions.  ENJOY!

Have a GREAT Weekend!

 

Whale of a Time

This past week I had a "Whale of a Time" designing six sample cards for my September Stampin' Up! Special.  This is by far my FAVORITE bundle in the Stampin' Up!  BIG catalog.  The samples are basic and simple and can be used for all ages and occasions.  I challenged myself to do a video using this bundle.  My first attempt wasn't bad, but it was 45 minutes long and even though I thought I had my work area front and center, most of the time you could only see half of my sample!  UGH!  

For my second attempt I  just explained the bundle of products and how I made them, taking about 15 minutes.  This one was better, but I still was a little off on the centering and I cracked myself up with all of the times I said "UHM", if that is even a word!😀  Decided to post it as is and work each time I make one to improve.  If you are not a member of my "Menagerie of Crafts" Facebook Group, please ask to join and view my video. Unfortunately the video is too large to imbed in this post.  Here are the samples from that video/

For the month of September I am offering a special if you want to purchase any of the items to make these cards.  Attached is the special explaining the costs and how to order.  Besides the stamp set and punch I am offering a kit to make the above cards as well as several paper share options if you want to purchase papers in lower quantities.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or want to place an order!

Cards for Troops

Today I am sending out a challenge to all of you that love to make homemade cards and anyone else that wants to participate in a great charity opportunity.  During these past months of staying at home during the pandemic, I have created over 300+ cards!  Also due to the pandemic, the opportunities to sell these cards has been limited, so the opportunity below put a smile on my face.  I challenge each of you to follow my lead.

Yesterday on one of my card making Facebook Groups I came across a post with a BIG need for homemade cards through mid September to be collected and send off to our troops.  All kinds of cards are accepted, they just ask to watch the thick embellishments and especially the use of glitter.  

As soon as I post this, I plan to pull out my shoe boxes of completed cards and fill a Flat Rate Priority Mail Envelope to send off to the organization listed below to do my part in this very special "need".  Hope you all will accept my challenge and send some cards before the mid September deadline.  Thanks!

Send homemade cards to:
