Stamp with Michele

Celebrate Sunflowers

I have shown you a couple cards Linda made using the dies from the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle so I decided to show you a card I made where I stamped and colored the smaller sunflower stamp in the set. I used the new Water Painters to color with using some of the new In Colors. Also used is a die from the Tasteful Labels where I cut 2 of the same label & turned one of them to help pop up the words on the card.

Rainbow Glimmer Paper meets Butterfly Beauty

So when checking out the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog for the first time I almost missed the Rainbow Glimmer Paper. The picture really does it no justice but I know it is really hard to show the true beauty of many items and you normally have to see them in person. I tried to show this a little differently so you can see how beautiful it is. This paper has Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss, Granny Apple Green, Magenta Madness and Mango Melody in it. I used the top part though that only shows a few of these colors.

Stampin' Up! Products Used: Rainbow Glimmer Paper, Butterfly Beauty Dies, Mango Melody cardstock, Whisper White Cardstock, Old World Embossing Folder, dimensionals, Momento Black ink, Forever Fern stamp set for the words.

Stampwithmichele Covid-19 Update

Hello everyone. Thought it was time to do an update on how Covid-19 is affecting my business.

At this time I am still unable to have stamping events in my home so I will continue to do some Online Classes on Zoom, Open Stamping/Social Time Zooms, etc. I just found out today more businesses are able to open up or to have more persons at them starting Friday but there still needs to be some social distancing. As I am unable to stamp items for classes to send out, I am considering setting up a table where local persons can come at different times to do their stamping for a class and then we will do a Zoom Class to put them together. Another option might be to do the cards with a couple different stamps to help you find a stamp set in your possession that you could use instead of what I have used. You may comment below or text me 319-610-1114 to let me know your opinion or suggestion.

I have each year (most years) done a Hostess Appreciation Event for all my hostesses also. Originally they were held in December and changed a few years ago to May/June. I have had someone ask so I am asking for feedback from my hostesses: would you like to wait to see if we can do it in person or do you want me to do it Online? Please text me your thoughts 319-610-1114 so I can see how everyone feels about this or you can add a comment below if you would like.

Online Class- Everything Poppies Update

If you are local, contact me to set up a time Friday or after to come pick up your packet. I will be mailing packets to those from out of town either Friday or Saturday. You will receive an email by Sunday, June 14th with pictures of the cards and a video showing how to put the cards together. I will also have 2 Zoom Classes for you to stamp and put them together with me.

Zoom times will be Sunday, June 21, 2020 6pm and Thursday, 6/25/2020 6pm. I hope these times will allow for everyone to attend a Zoom class if they want to.

Let me know if you have any questions.

A funny thing happened this week. I sent out 7 or 8 cards and found I forgot to put postage stamps on them. Anyone ever do that? I realized but it was too late to get them back. I received 2 back today in the mail and have remailed them. I found out at least 3 have been received without postage and the receiver never had to pay for it. If you get one without a stamp and you have to pay for it, please let me know.

Guest Artist Linda Kjeld using the Celebrating Sunflowers Bundle

Linda used the Celebrating Sunflowers Bundle again pairing the Gold & Copper foil. This card she added some Designer Series Paper using a couple In Colors. Beautiful Linda.
