Nutz about Stamping

Mixed Bunch

Tonight my Raleigh Techniques Club meets and this month's hostess, Kristin, requested that the club members use Mixed Bunch on one of the cards. I love this stamp set and coordinating Blossom Punch so created this card:

 

 

 

Can you see how I used the Adorning Accents Edgelit and Adorning Accents Embossing folder too? This card uses a lot of products to create eye-catching elements. The result is guaranteed to delight.

Tea Shoppe

My Techniques Card Club has their January meeting this weekend and our lovely club hostess requested heat embossing as the technique. Of course I had so much fun designing the cards they will create and on each card I added a fun touch to the embossed image!

If you have received your Occasions Mini catalog in the mail, turn to page 35. In the bottom right corner you will see three brand new products: Scented Stampin' Emboss powders: Vanilla, Melon and Cherry! On each of the three cards my Techniques Card Club will make is an image embossed with one of these scented embossing powders. 

Here's one of the cards they will create, using the new Tea Shoppe stamp set:

 

 

The Melon tea cup is embossed using the new Melon scented embossing powder and it really does smell like a sweet melon! My club members had such fun embossing with the three different scents and my Stampin' Spot smell delicious!

If you'd like to try our new Scented Stampin' Emboss powders, place an order and give them a try. You can contact me at terri@nutzaboutstamping.com for ordering support, add these powders and Tea Shoppe stamp set to my Stamp Set of the Month Club selection, or go to my Online Store to place the order yourself.  

And if you live in the Raleigh, NC area and want to give my Techniques Card Club a try, email me for my February dates!

Techniques Club

This weekend is the December meeting of my Techniques Club and I have a really fun set of cards planned and ready. I decided to focus on Punch Art this month - a technique I haven't shared in all the years I have had a Techniques Club.

Here's one of the cards my club members will make:

Isn't that a cute card? I used the Serene Snowflakes stamp set, some scrap designer series and plain papers and several punches. After the snowman was assembled I decided to add some bling on the torn snow edge and a Rhinestone Jewel to the flower on the hat.

Have you tried Punch Art yet? If not, see if you can figure out what punches I used for the snowman and they give it a try at home. Better yet, if you live in the Raleigh, NC area I'd love for you to join my Techniques Club - new members welcome anytime!

 

 

Techniques Club

Next week my Techniques Club is meeting and our lovely hostess requested a fun technique that she had heard about. I know this technique well and love her suggestion so decided while I am at my RAD (Remarkably Achieving Demonstrators) weekend I would play with the technique to see what I can come up with.

Here's one idea:

I love Clean & Simple cards and the way I created this one would allow you to make several in one sitting. I used two different sized punches, two embossing folders and two stamp sets. Easy peasy!

If you want to learn this technique too watch for an upcoming Online Class - once you have this timeless technique in your technique tool box you will be amazed at the beautiful cards you will be able to make. And if you want to join my Raleigh Techniques club, contact me at terri@nutzaboutstamping.com for more information!

Ronald McDonald House

Happy Cyber Monday!

Today is the final day for my Turkey Trot Workshop promotion - a fun bonus while you shop for products featured in Stampin' Up!'s Online Extravaganza promotion.

Tonight is my November time at the Ronald McDonald House in Chapel Hill. Normally I create a card for the guests to make but this month I decided on something a bit different. Our December evening isn't until after Christmas Day so I thought it would be nice to create this 3D gift project idea:

I used the Stocking Builder punch and scrap Marina Mist and Cherry Cobber card stock. I also used the Serene Snowflakes and Short & Sweet stamp sets and scrap pieces of Frostwood Lodge designer series paper.

Can you guess what this 3D project might be? I know the families at Ronald McDonald House will love this gift idea and I can't wait to show them how to make it!

If you are one of my Virtual Club members you will learn how to make this 3D gift as one of the projects for my Virtual Club December class. I will walk you through step-by-step and also share variation ideas. If you want more information on my Virtual Club, click here.

Gift Givers

My Raleigh Techniques Card Club meets this weekend to explore new products and to learn new techniques. I am always challenged to keep ahead of this group and to research ideas and techniques to "wow" them. Each month the club members create three different cards and place orders to support the month's club hostess.

Here's one of the cards the members are making this weekend:

They will use Gift Givers and the Stocking Builder punch to create the cute reindeer stocking image. Are you wondering what technique they will learn? Take a look at the ribbon on this card. I bet you haven't seen ribbon like that in the catalog - and that's one of the techniques this month!

Watch for an upcoming Sundays with Sizzix blog post where I will show you this fun (and easy!) technique.
