Monogramed Cards
At this month's Stampers 10 Meeting we'll be making Monogramed Cards. The Designer Series Paper is Elegant Soiree. We're using the Lovely Letter Alphabet Stamp Set and the coordinating papers and ink – Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, Soft Suede and Basic Gray. The Very Vanilla Card Stock was embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and the squares were punched with the 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" square punches.

Anyone who has been in my craft room between classes, knows that I tend to have a project going on every table. And then the night before a class, I spend a couple hours putting things away, getting distracted, putting a few more things away, getting distracted, putting …. well, you get the idea. Tomorrow is Open Table Night, so I bargained with myself – clean my tables and I'd get to play at my table for a couple hours – that's the one (okay, two tables) in the lower right corner.
I spent part of today putting away the Summer Mini stamps and putting out the Holiday Mini things when I ran across a stamp set that I had resisted getting for a year, but then one day I saw a card that made me order it right then – Autumn Days. When it came, I put it away and lost track of the inspiration. So tonight, I put the stamps set together and surfed Splitcoast looking for inspiration. I ran across two (among a lot of awesome cards!) that really struck a cord with me. One was a Pinwheel Card with a demonstration video by Barb Mullikin and the other was a wreath card by Karin Menghini. Here's my version of their beautiful cards:

It doesn't show up so well in the picture, but the wreath card base is Brushed Gold and the pinecones are heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder. I am really loving the new colors – Cherry Cobbler and Cajun Craze are definately favorites!
Hope you are inspired to create a little paper magic. And if you'd like to work on some of your projects, join us tomorrow night, Sept. 2nd from 6 – 8:30 for Open Table Night – a no fees, no frills evening of paper crafting among friends!

Meg’s Thank you
As I mentioned a day or two ago, my daughter just got out of the hospital and I promised to make her some thank you cards. Here's my first attempt.
I layered Basic Black Textured Card Stock on Very Vanilla, then Perfect Plum and Newprint DSP sponged with Perfect Plum.
I used the Hodgepodge Happiness Stamp Set {we'll be using this stamp set in our Sept. Class with Purchase}, Very Vanilla Craft Ink and clear embossing powder for the sentiment. I layered that on Wild Wasabi card stock punched with the new Decorative Label Extra-Large Punch featured in the new Holiday Mini Catalog.
The flower and leaves are from Stampin' Up Exclusive Sizzlits dies – Floral Fusion and Little Leaves. Thanks for the idea Ginger!
I finished the whole thing off with a little spritzing with Perfect Plum and 1/8" Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon.
Funky Four
August's Class with Purchase will be with the Funky Four Stamp Set, shown on page 93 of the 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog. This card is one of four designs - we will be making two cards of each design. Check out my Events page for all the details, dates and times for this class.
Don't you just love the new In-Colors? I've used four of the five here – Concord Crush, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz, and Poppy Parade.
