Varied Vases Class to go

VARIED VASES CLASS TO GO

The beautiful sentiments plus the variety of vases in the Varied Vases bundle make it super easy to give pretty flowers that won't wilt to anyone you love. The fun vases can be stamped, punched or both! The options are endless. I love the fonts in this set too! This bundle is so much fun to create with. I just kept stamping and stamping! It quickly became one of my favorites and I just know you will love it too!

You will need a Gorgeous Grape ink pad to complete these projects. I've just used the one ink pad to minimize the cost to appeal to all levels of crafters-especially ones that are new to stamping and may have little or no supplies. You will also need a Snail Adhesive, Mini & Regular Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots. You can order these supplies here.

Each class kit will arrive at your front door sorted & organized by project. I will do all the scoring, punching & cutting for you (other than what needs to be done with your new punch.)

The cost for this class is $48 plus $7 priority shipping if you are not local for porch pick up!

This class includes the Varied Vases Bundle - Vases Builder punch & Varied Vases Photopolymer stamp set (a $39.50 value!) and all four make n' takes. You will need acrylic blocks to stamp with these stamps-I recommend block A, D & I-you can order those here. You will also receive the full PDF tutorial. Email me for registration link.

If you would like to add the Gorgeous Grape ink pad please state that in your email. You will receive FREE shipping on the ink pad plus 5 more PDF tutorials. If you add 2 or more ink pads you will receive 10 PDF tutorials. If you wish to add any product to your class kit you can email me your order or simply order in my online store using this host code WCWN3PCQ!

All class kits and included product will be ordered and prepared together after the deadline. This is a pre-order only and per SU! policy, I do not have products on hand ready to ship. Because of this, it takes about 1 week after the deadline for me to order, cut, prepare and ship all the class kits. Class Kits can only be mailed within the United States.

Registration will close August 30, 2018

Expected shipping date of all kits is September 6th

Color Your Seasons Bundle

Have you heard about the limited release bundle of products called "Color Your Season"? There is a beautiful stamp set that works for all four seasons, a set of framelits, and a new set of watercolor pencils. Why is this special? Because they aren't featured in a catalog and they are only being sold this month!!! So all three products are available 'while supplies last' or until August 31st -- that's it. You won't be able to get them again! Eek!

The Blended Seasons stamp set is gorgeous! I have really enjoyed making projects with it!

The card I made below uses watercolor pencils with a blender pen. I stamped the leaf image on the card base to add some texture without another layer. I finished off my card with our self adhesive sequins and a little wink of stella on the petals!

The set of watercolor pencils is only $12.50 and are a great set to play with!!!

Now... I really love the big stitched windows that the framelits make, as you can see below. It stitches both the outside of the window and the inside of the panel it cuts out. I used the watercolor pencils with my blender pen again.

This next cared I used our Stampin' blends alcohol markers and then fussy cut the floral image so I could "piece" it around the stitched label. Pretty fancy, right? It really didn't take very long to cut and I love how it turned out.

The card pictured below I made for a swap I participated in with other demonstrators at our team meeting Tuesday night! The bell was so easy to color and cut out with the matching framelits!! The heat embossing in gold and the addition of a few gold metallic pearls really makes the card shine!

For my final card I'm sharing today, I used the watercolor pencils but this time I stamped the leaf image on Whisper White thick card stock and blended the color with an aqua painter. I just love how easily you can move the color around with water.

Purchase this set of products while you can!! They are gorgeous and could fulfill all your fall stamping needs, including some gorgeous Christmas cards!!!! Check it all out in my online store and make sure to use my August hostess code WCWN3PCQ to get a FREE embellishment from the holiday catalog!!!

Happy stamping,

Darlene
