Technique Club continued

Here is the CHALKBOARD TECHNIQUE that I shared with ladies at my Technique Club a couple of weeks ago.  Once again I cased this card from another Stampin'Up! Demonstrator, Becky.

 I used the Hearts A Flutter Stamp Set and Framelits, both of which are in the Spring Catalog.

Valentines is just around the corner so for your stampin' needs, please visit my website: www.shirleybmckay.stampinup.net.

Thanks for stopping by and until next time, Happy Stampin!

Technique Club begins Sunday

So here's a preview of one of the techniques I will teach.  This was "cased" from another Stampin'Up! Demonstrator.  Thanks so much Kelly!  For those who don't know what "case" means .... "copy and share everything" and that's just what we Demonstrators do.

Card dimensions are as follows:  

Early Espresso 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4 

First Edition Designer Series Paper 4 x 5 1/4

Always Artichoke 2 1/4 x 5

Very Vanilla 2 x 4 3/4 

Other products used:  From My Heart Stamp Set, Labels Collection Framelits, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Always Artichoke Ribbon, VersaMark, Gold Embossing Powder

If you'd like more information, please feel free to contact me through my SU Website, shirleybmckay.stampinup.net.  

Later in the week I will share the other technique that I'll be teaching at Sunday's class.

Until next time, happy stampin!

Black & White Card Class - Part 2

I'm using ELEMENTS of STYLE once again to create a wedding or anniversary card.

 Other products used:  Jet Black Stazon Ink, Big Shot, Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit, Stripes Embossing Folder (used on the black heart), Full Heart Punch, Pearl Jewels, Loving Thoughts stamp set, Simply Scored Scoring Tool

Just a close up to show you more of the details on the card.

Stay tuned tomorrow for my third of four Black & White cards.

Thanks for joining me today.  I hope I have given you some inspiration to get some stampin' done!  Until next time....

Black & White Card Class - Part 1

The idea of having a Black & White card class was suggested to me by my upline, Karen.  I love the simplicity of the cards I will be sharing the next few days.

I used the ELEMENTS of STYLE stamp set on this one.  I stamped the Whisper White card stock and then ran it through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder.  Other products used:  Basic Black card stock, Jet Black Stazon On Ink, Basic Black Scallop Dots Ribbon, Rhinestone Jewels.

I cased this card from Katie Baldin, another SU Demonstrator, but I tweaked it to my liking.  One thing I love about being a SU Demonstrator ~ you can access Stampin' Connection and find all sorts of ideas.  If you are interested in becoming a Demonstrator and taking advantage of this month's promotion (see yesterday's post), please visit my SU Website: www.shirleybmckay.stampinup.net.

Have a great day and I hope you'll stop by again soon!
