August Monthly Meeting

Last night we had our demonstrator's monthly meeting. I look forward to this meeting every month. We sampled great new products from the 2016-2017 Holiday Catalog! The Designer Series Paper packs are gorgeous! The color palettes for Christmas and for Halloween are fantastic! We are under two weeks until the catalog goes live. I can't wait!

We had a few Show and Shares too! Susan demonstrated a variation of the Northern Lights Technique with the Lovely as a Tree stamp set.

First, she sponged diagonal stripes of Perfect Plum, Watermelon Wonder, Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise, and Wild Wasabi across a 5" by 3-3/4"" piece of Whisper White cardstock. Then Susan sponged a layer of Night of Navy and a layer of Basic Black around the left, top, and right sides.

On the bottom she torn a piece of copy paper to create a mountainous outline. Susan placed the torn paper above where she wanted to sponge the mountainous landscape and sponged the bottom with Basic Gray. Next, Susan adhered this to a 5-1/4" by 4" piece of Whisper White cardstock and then to a 5-1/2" by 8-1/2" folded piece of Wild Wasabi cardstock.

Finally, she add little stars with a white gel pen and stamped the happy birthday sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

This card would be great for both men and women! You could also change the sentiment and colors to suit almost any occasion! This is a terrific all occasion card.

Above are our Make and Takes presented by Sally, Beth S., Christine, and Lenore. We made four different cards using the Thoughtful Branches, Flurry of Wishes, Pop of Paradise, Fresh Fruit, and Baby Bear stamp sets. I apologize I do not know who the original designers of these cards are. If these are your designs, please let me know. I want to give credit where it is due.

We had another Show and Share by Vicki, however I would like to put together a longer tutorial before I share.

I truly look forward to our demonstrator meetings! We have a great group of ladies! We share ideas, techniques, and experiences. If you would like to come to our monthly meetings too, join my team! I would love to have you as a part of my team!

Thanks for stopping by!
Beth
