STEP CARD USING COPIC MAKERS AND FLOWER SOFT

This is a card a did last week and I promised I would post the cutting directions so if you did the free make and take demo at Your Scrapbook Superstore or not I hope you will enjoy this card.
Card size 4 1/4 X 11
With a paper trimmer line cardstock up so that the edge of the card is at 1" mark. Position the cutting blade at 1" from bottom and cut from 1" to 6.5". (this will make a 5.5" cut line)
Within that 1" score at 1", 2", and 6.5".
Score again at 5.5" from the base of the card just next to cut line. (you will have a 1" cut line about this)
Folds from bottom of card is mountain, valley, mountain, mountain.

The card was then colored with Copic Markers and assembled. We then added Flower Soft to give it texture.
I hope your will try this step card.

BACK FROM STAMPAWAY USA 2012

Well I have returned from Cincinnati and the Stampaway USA convention as well as teaching my stampscapes classes in Centerville, Ohio at Marco's Paper. I had a wonderful time teaching and learning. Best convention yet! It was a pleasure to teach and work with the folks at Marco's and I hope to return in the spring of 2013. As for my classes they were all great except one. I will just say the teachers had no respect for the people they were teaching! I took Tim Holtz class and made a beautiful journal using techniques I already knew and watched him sign autographs. I did not get his autograph, but I can now say I have taken his class! Northwoods Men's card class was great as always. Pat is a very good teacher! Stamp the Night Away was a lot of fun. Folded card class was great. Last but not least Embellishing solid stamps was really good. Watercolor class was very bad and I will leave it at that!!! If you have never been to Stampaway I would like to encourage you to attend. This was my 15th Stampaway convention and God willing I will go back next year. I am including some pictures I took at Marco's Paper and at the convention and I hope you enjoy them.

These three pictures are from my class at Marco's

STAMPAWAY IN CINCINNATI IS JUST 5 WEEK AWAY!

I am really getting excited about Stampaway.  As many of you already know I will be teaching Stampscapes at Marco's Paper in Centerville, Ohio during Stampaway week July 31, 2012.  There will be two classes 9:30 to 12:30 and 3:00 to 6:00.  I hope if you are in the area you will try to take my class.  This will be my first time teaching at Marco's and I hope it will be a success, but I can not do it without your help so please sign up by contacting Karen at 1-937-433-7030 or visit there website at http://www.marcopaper.com/.  Marco's has a great selection of classes available during the week before and after Stampaway.
 
I have also started designing my trades for Cincinnati.  So if you are planning on attending the convention look for me in the line on Friday night and Saturday morning.  I would love to trade with you.  What is a trade you say?  Well it can be what every you would like to stamp and trade.  Most people trade artist trading cards but mine always seem to be a little larger than the standard card.  I have put together a collection of different things to come up with my design now I have to produce them.  I will try to make 75 and I hope to have one to show you very soon.

I checked the Stampaway website yesterday and there are still some classes available at  http://www.stampawayusa.com/home/sa_classes.html.  We only get this great convention once a year so please if you can make plans to attend.  Even if you are not taking classes this is the best rubber stamping shopping experience you will ever have.  See you at Stampaway!
