LNS Challenge 113
This week's challenge over at the Late Night Stamper's is a color challenge!!! The colors are Blushing Bride, So Saffron, Certainly Celery and Early Espresso. Here is what I came up with:
I used the Bold Blossom stamp set, which is currently in the Occasions Mini Catalog and will also be in the Summer Mini Catalog too!!! This card really makes me think "Spring", now if the weather would ever cooperate here in Minnesota, that would be perfect!!
The base of the card is Early Espresso, followed by Certainly Celery and then So Saffron. The So Saffron was ran through the Big Shot, using the Polka Dot embossing folder. Then I stamped the stems in Certainly Celery ink and the flowers in Blushing Bride ink. I cut out all of the flowers and attached them with pop dots. Then I added a rhinestone jewel to each center. For the ribbon, I put down a piece of sticky strip red line tape and the gather the 3/8" Certainly Celery satin ribbon along it.
Supplies:
- Bold Blossom stamp set
- Early Espresso, Certainly Celery, So Saffron and Whisper White card stock
- Certainly Celery and Blushing Bride ink pads
- Big Shot and Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder
- 3/8" Certainly Celery satin ribbon, Sticky Strip tape, pop dots
- Rhinestone Jewels
I hope that you can find time to play along with the group. Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/StampinUpLNStampers/ and join in the fun. You have until Sunday night to added your card to the photo album marked Challenge 113 Members.

Then there is a strip from Springtime Vintage designer series paper. I stamped the stems in Always Artichoke ink and colored them in with Pear Pizzazz SU marker.

My Stampin’ “Classroom”
I thought that I would share some pictures of where I have my class every month. I have classes in my basement, which works out perfectly!! It's a wide open space, enough room for 8 people and all of stampin' items are down there. I would love to show you pictures of my actual stamp room, but that would require some major cleaning and I'm not sure if that will ever get done!!!!!! The one thing I wish for, is to finish the bathroom done there, hopefully we can get to that this year.

I set up two 6 foot tables and at each table there is four stations. This night was my monthly card class, so there are 8 different cards to make. Everything is put at each spot, then you take one of everything out and make your card. The card stock is cut, scored and folded and ready to go. I provide everything including the snail, scissors, pop dots,etc. All you need to bring is yourself!!
Did you notice my decor elements on the wall? I just love these items from Stampin' Up!, it's a fast and easy way to added a little something.
And of course, don't forget the treats……

I always serve yummy treats and refreshments. My next card class will be on Tuesday, March 22nd or Wednesday, March 23rd starting at 6:30pm. The cost is $15 for 8 cards with envelopes. If you are interested, just let me know. There is always room for more and it's so nice to leave with 8 cards that are all done and ready for you to use!! Anyone and everyone can stamp, it's a wonderful hobby and/or business.
Thanks for stopping by and letting me know what you think of my area.
