25% OFF SALE ON BOTH OF MY DVD"S HAS BEEN EXTENDED

We have extended the 25% off sale on both of my DVD's.  Check them out at my website http://www.astampineveryhand.com/.  The sale will now end on July 25th.  Pick them both up at this price they make great gifts for people who want to start stamping and making their own cards. As always shipping is free.  The Stampscapes DVD is featured in the stamp section of the Stampscapes website http://www.stampscapes.com/information.html and also was reviewed in the News section Sept. 2010.

Stampaway Is Just 5 Weeks Away!

Just 5 weeks left and I haven't completed one trade yet and I plan to make 75.  I think I have them in the final stage of design.  I have changed it 5 times now.  I am waiting for some watch gears that I ordered which I hope will finally make me happy.  When I have a finished sample I will post it.

I had planned to take a class a Marco's Papers in Kettering, OH. while I am at Stampaway but they have not put out the class info yet.

The classes I am signed up for are Advanced Cards for Men, Stamp the Night Away, Ranger Shaker Ornaments/Pendants and Inky Spinners & Sliders.  This years class selection was not the greatest in my opinion.  I have heard this from many other stampers who are planning to attend the convention.. They can't make us all happy I understand that but the selection left me very disappointed.  That is not going to stop me from going.  The techniques and the new product you get to see in the booths every year is so worth the trip even if you don't take the classes.

My next class will be Sept. 11 and I will teach the Advanced Cards for Men.

I need your comments!  I need your feedback!  I am planning another DVD and I want to know what would interest you.  More Stampscapes, Beginning Scrapbooking,  A Technique Video with several different stamping techniques.  Please feel free to comment or you can email me at rubberstampdiva@gmail.com.  Please I would really like to know what would interest you.

Finally one of the best parts of going to Cincinnati for Stampaway is eating my home town food.  Cincinnati Chili Skyline or Gold Star, Graeters Ice Cream,  Montgomery Ribs, Frisch's Big Boy with the real sauce,  Grippo Pretzels and I could go on and on.  I am trying to loose a little weight so I can pig out while on vacation and enjoy Stampaway.

NEW ARTICLE FOR THE EXAMINER

If you go to the http://www.examiner.com/paper-craft-in-knoxville/janet-winkle you can read my new article about Stampaway USA rubber stamp convention in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I am working on my trades which are stamped creations which you can trade with other stampers.  I think I am going to go with the logo theme which is steampunk.  Steampunk involves gears, and turn of the century (1800 - 1900) style items.  Steampunk trends is becoming very popular in scrapbook paper and rubber stamping.

Please take a minute and read my new article about Stampaway!

CHRISTMAS IN JUNE NOT JULY CLASS JUNE 12, 2011

Very busy again getting ready for my next class which will be Christmas in June not July.  This is another request class.  We will be doing the Stampscapes Ornament card and the all over glitter ornament card also using the Stampscapes stamps.  Both of these cards were made using the Spellbinders Heirloom Ornament die which for some strange reason they have discontinued.  I have tried to buy some more but they have jacked the price because they are now in high demand.  We will also be making a card using Flower Soft and last but not least a House Mouse card using the Gamsol pencil technique.  I will not be teaching during the months of July and Aug. so I hope to have more time to blog.  I also plan the start blogging about my trip to Cincinnati and the Stampaway USA Rubber Stamp Convention.  I get so excited every year to go and see whats new in the world of rubber stamping.  I will also get the chance to visit my family because Cincinnati is my home town.  Below you will find sample of three of the cards we will be doing on June 12.  If you would like to join my class just visit my website  http://www.astampineveryhand.com/




I don't have the House Mouse sample finished yet.

May 15 class Butterflies & Blooms

I have been really busy preparing for my next class Butterflies & Blooms which will be held at the Stables Community Center off Boyds Creek in Sevierville, TN.  This is what I would call a request class.  I asked what my students would like to learn more about and this what I have put together.



Artlenz

The card is done using the harlequin stamp AZ 123 by Artlenz and I also used the silhouette butterflies by Northwoods rubber stamps.  The flower is silk colored with Marvy ink pads and misted and then finished off with stickles.


                                 
                 Faux fabric technique which I learned from Split Coast Stampers

I stamped and heat embossed the apple blossom image by Stamp Affair and then I bleached it.  I then embossed it using a lattice Stampin up folder.

We will also be doing the faux fabric technique with vellum and metal flowers using crackle accents by Ranger.  If you would like to join this class please visit my website  http://www.astampineveryhand.com/.  You can pay for the class using your paypal account or you can contact me for info to pay by check.
