Dotted Dalia

Hi .... I have been a little detained with life here and have not been blogging as much ... sorry.  I have been finishing up a move of my antique hutch out of my stamping room and in it's place have made a die cut area with a table.  I am loving it!  I have been doing some more reorganizing in my studio especaillay where I sit and stamp and am liking the changes.  Also, I had a four legged friend in the house that was NOT invited  ..... and that I am horribly afraid of ...... I that I had to catch and get out of here.  DONE!!!  Now I can stop being so nervous!

OK ... back to the card .... I used 'Dotted Dalia' for the image and 'Happy Leaf' for the words.  It is a simple and easy card with no coloring!  I added a corner punch at the bottom corners, layered the words and added a ribbon. 

This Friday I will be the guest on Savvy Projects and I plan on sharing a few of the new ideas I will be making for my craft shows this fall.  Also, on Friday I will be picking up two great friends from the airport to come stamp and play with me.  We are going to have so much fun!!!  I can not wait to see them ... we did not get to see each other this year at seminar so we are still going to be able to have your yearly time together.  It will be so much fun Jen and Lori!

Card Club - Happy Leaf

The Angel Company is sponsoring Card Clubs each month and for any of my customers who attend the Card Club Class that month and orders $30 from TAC can purchase this hostess set for $4.50.  Plus, I will send you a PDF file with lots of cards that other angels have designed using that set.  I so love the words in this months set .... they can be used in so many different cards!

My Card Club Class is offered the second Friday night, second Sunday afternoon, second Monday afternoon and evening and second Tues morning and evening of each month.  If you would like to attend, check my calendar at the top and let me know.  You do not have to attend each month or the same time each month.  We will make 5 cards for $15 and you will get written directions and an envelope to stamp for each card.  These will be all occasion cards.

Sorry this is so late getting out ... I have been having trouble staying connected to the Internet but I am hoping it is fixed now.  The last few days it has been raining off and on so I have got a LOT of stamping done.  I was getting ready for the Friday night shows at Garfield's Lawnfield but it is raining again today so I am thinking I will be at it next week instead. I so enjoy those shows since they are on grass and they have wonderful music, food and all kinds of things going on.  I hope to be there next Friday night and the following but I will not be there on Aug 19 since I have some great friends coming for a visit!!  I am so looking forward to Jen and Lori coming to town!!  We are going to have so much fun ..... and a whole lot of stamping done!

Sunflower Gift with Purchase

This card can be made by everyone who attends my Open House this weekend which will be inside, unless you would like to sit on the deck.  It will be Sunday from 2-7 and then again on Monday from 4-8.  I have lots of samples, new classes, and products for you to see and purchase.  There will be three specials for those attending the Open House on TAC products so come check it out.  Please let me know so I know how many papers to cut.  You can come any time and leave at any time .... you do not have to stay all day.

This card uses the new Gift with Purchase stamps called 'Sunflower' which could be yours  FREE with an order of $30.  I colored it simply with only three Copic markers, added the Scor-bug dots and sanding for detail and the words are from another FREE set called 'Happy Leaf'. This set is a Level A set with a $100 purchase OR you can purchase it in Aug with a $30 order and attending one of my card classes for only $4.50.

I had fun yesterday inside stamping and making all kinds of samples!  I will not be at the market in Painesville today due to the heat .... and maybe not tomorrow either.  It is too hot for me to set up/tear down and sit out there for 4-6 hours.
