Spookalicious Totally Cards Tuesday
Other supplies used to make this card include:
TACs Brown and Kraft Cardstock as well as Miss Moxie Cardstock. Miss Moxie SWIC pattern paper. The circle stamp is from Glitter Gobblins. I used another SU! edge punch and corner punch on this card. The ribbon is Offray, not sure where I got it. The owl and circle are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and the sentiment is stamped in Rich Cocoa. I colored the little owl with Copics from TAC's new Color Caboodles, I believe the browns are from set G and the yellows are from set C.

Butterflies!
I have been planning and stamping class samples for my Totally Cards Tuesday class series. I want to have all my TCT card samples done for my Open House on July 24th. Here are two cards we will be making in my up coming So Long Summer class. Aren't those butterfly images beautiful?
The first card features Miss Moxie Soar With It Collection Designer Paper and cardstock and TAC's Trendy Greetings and Want to Fly Stamp Sets.
The second card features TAC's True beauty embossed with silver then colored with Copic markers from TAC's New Color Caboodles. The sentiment is from TAC's Thinking of You. The blue background is stamped with TAC's Victorian Elements with Palette Seascape ink. It's hard to see in the photo, but really it's a nice touch in real life.
If you want to make these cards PLUS two more, then email me to sign up for Totally Cards Tuesday in August. Here is more information about the Totally Cards Tuesday series:
Totally Cards Tuesday is the second Tuesday of every month. On Totally Cards Tuesday we will make 4 cards for $15.

Quick Mini-Class Tomorrow?
It's really hard to see in the picture, but the Father's Day card has a cutout window in the front. The 'It's Your Day' circle is on the inside of the card. If you don't need a Father's Day card, this would make a great masculine birthday card. The 'It's Your Day' stamp is from Birthday Wishes. I love Birthday Wishes, it's a great graphic word set that blends perfect with any images you have! You can get Birthday Wishes for 25% off now through June.
The Mother's Day card is a very soft feminine card that features Victorian Elements. I love Victorian Elements because of it's versatility. I used this great set for both the white background and the pink and green focal image.
You really need to see both of these cards in person, because the photos do not do justice. Hope you can pop in tomorrow! Hugs.

Escape Again - Part C
The first is a card I made with Animal Thoughts. It is a
quirky fun stamp set that I LOVE! I added paper pieced details on the polka-dot belly and the thought bubble. I love the sentiment 'hello peanut'.
The next item was not a swap. Sandy made one of these CUTE little treat bags for each of us. It was a fun little just because thing that made the day even more special. Sandy used Brighten Your Day Kitty. It is a mini set available for just $2.95 right now through March 1.
The last photo is Kathy's swap. It also features Cheery Thoughts and Tutti Frutti paper. I colored her with Copic markers and added a scrap of lavender ribbon. I think that this might be my favorite. I am not sure though, because all of the cards were pretty rockin'.
I have one more card to share with you. I will be back tomorrow. The card I have to show inspired the March project for my Stamp Club that is forming now. I have just two spots left in the club. Club starts Sunday, February 21st, so get your spot while you can. I have it on good authority that there is a new promotion coming for March, so hostesses in the club should benefit. As soon as I know more I will post about it.

More of the Great Escape - Part B
The second set of cards was Sandy's swap. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these cards. They are finished and pleasing to the eye, but not cluttered. The stamps are from TAC's Sunday Stroll. Sandy had us dot the green background and flower punch embellishment on the girl card and the yellow panel on the boy card using a pencil eraser and VersaMark. I love the detail it adds to the card.
That's all for today. I need to get my hostess club all finalized so we are ready for the first meeting!

Escape Was GREAT! Part A
The first card was Rachel's swap. It features TAC's brand new Anchor to the Soul and Angelee SWIC pattern paper. I loved Rachel's card because I never thought of putting Angelee SWIC paper with White Card Stock. It is a perfect combination and really makes Angelee look crisp and springy.
The next card was Lanette's swap. It features TAC's brand new Wonder and Joy stamp set and Pop Rockz Classic SWIC pattern paper. This is the first time I used Wonder and Joy. It was so much fun to color, especially with Copic markers! Isn't it cute the way Lanette taught us to color cheeks with Copic and Souffle Gelly Pens?!
The last card was Michele's swap. It is an adorable design! The little girl, from TAC's Cheery Thoughts, is stamped on a tag. The pink layer has a circle punch window for her too peek out. If you pull the blue tab, the tag pulls out and you can see all of the little sweetie! I embellished the front of the pocket with a little scrap of paper from TAC's Tutti Frutti Classic SWIC. The image is colored with Copic markers and there is a little glitter on the top of the cupcake. I think that this pocket front card is going to make it into our Stamp Club Technique Card Keeper Binder.
I will blog more of the great ideas and samples from Escape soon.

Stamp Club Filling FAST!
In club we will be making a card keeper and building on it every month. Each month I will have a fun card for you to make. Each card will feature a technique that makes the card different in some way. Pictured are the first two cards for your card keeper.
'Kick Up Your Heels' is our card for February. It features the Side Stepin' fold.
'Glad We're Friends' is our card for March. It features a peek-a-boo sentiment that is revealed when you pull the tag.
Your card keeper will have a page for each month. You can store your finished card on one side and a paper pattern, which you will also make in club, on the other side.
When club is done, in November, you will have a ring binder full of at least 10 exciting and creative cards PLUS all the patterns and notes you need to make each design again and again.
The binder is only one of the great benefits of stamp club! Club members also get to be hostess of a $250 party at least once! A hostess at the $250 level receives one Level A stamp set, one Level B stamp set, and any three items in the TAC catalog for 50% off! Hostess club members get a copy of all three 2010 TAC publications free with their good standing in the club. Wanna join us? Email me right away.

***** CLASSES, CLUBS, AND EVENTS *****
February 21 @ 3pm and February 22 @ 6:00pm is Stamp Club! I am starting a brand new stamp club. I have had a ton of requests for Level B hostess sets! Lots of you want the sets but maybe hosting a party isn't your thing. I am going to make it super easy and a lot of FUN for you to earn those hostess stamp sets. Here is how it will work: Every third SUNDAY afternoon and MONDAY night will be stamp club. I have only 5 spots on each day so sign up for your preferred day right away!
The purpose of the club will be to rotate hostesses. Each member will get to be a hostess one month. Club members will all receive a free copy of 2010 Serendipity Magazine, 2010 Inspiration Book and Catalogue, 2010 Inspiration Avenue Magazine, One Level A Stamp Set, One Level B Stamp Set, and ANY three items for half price all while building a handy card keeper full of fun cards and templates. To sweeten things even more, any month that has hostess specials or double hostess benefits, the additional benefits will be given to a Stamp Club member drawn at random. 10 members, 10 months, $25 each month.
To kick Stamp Club off right, we are going to have two hostesses this month! The first person RSVP for Sunday will be my GUEST hostess this month and regular hostess next month!! That's right, you are hostess two months in a row IF you are FIRST to RSVP for SUNDAY! The first person to RSVP for Monday will be my hostess this month and will receive 'Brighten Your Day' from Stamp Spree FREE!
