A-MAY-ZING Deal!

Hello Card Shoppers!  Are you up for an A-MAY-ZING Deal?

Guess what!  I have a BUNCH of card kits leftover from card classes that need to be made up so that I can bring some order to my craft space!

These are cards that have been featured on Simply Shannon for card classes and more!  I am willing to make these kits up and sell them if you would like to buy them for the bargain basement price of $2.00 per card!  That is a savings of .50 per card!  This is quite a deal as many of these are considered "WOW" cards used to teach different techniques at classes!

Here's the kicker- It's a grab bag-I choose the kit based on volume...you tell me the type of card you need...and I will send you the cards, completely assembled with coordinating envelopes of course!  Please order in quantities of 10, but  you may ask for a variety grab bag this time (3 birthday, 3 blank, 3 thinking of you/friend) as I have a variety of kits already cut!

A-May-Zing? Yes, so don't wait, because when the kits run out, the offer ends!

Feel free to contact me with any questions!

May Flowers and More

I am so excited to create these cards with you on the 25th!  They are creative, lovely, and so much fun to make if I do say so myself!  I hope you'll join me and craft these cards- 3 each of these 4 designs- enjoy some girl time, and see just how talented you truly are!
Join us on:
Wednesday, May 25th at 
7:00pm at my home:  
1613 Woodstream Lane, 
Allen,TX 75002

RSVP by emailing me at shancanstamp@yahoo.com to let me know you will attend.  Please respond by Sunday, May 22nd so I can prepare your materials. In the meantime, check out May flowers and more!

I know we just celebrated Mother's Day, but soon after our class, we will be needing a Father's Day card!  This card is also a great masculine birthday card!  You may add whichever sentiment best suits your needs.  This card features the Plane and Simple stamp set and the picture doesn't do justice to the texture in this windowframe design.  I hope you'll come see it and create it for yourself!















I love this card and it uses the promotional stamp set Four Frames-which as you can see, coordinates perfectly with our decorative label punch!  I also just can't get enough of the paisley print designer series paper so it is also a focal point in this card.  Throw in some SU hardware and Voila' your friends will see that you've created a masterpiece!

Did I promise May flowers?  Well, here they are in a refreshing and new way!  This is actually the build a blossom stamp set and punch used a little differently!  I love the newsprint designer series paper and decided it needed a bit more attention.  I may give the vanilla a bit more texture for the class as well.  I think some polka dots will add the extra touch that will put this card over the top....and it will give you another chance to use the big shot our favorite tool!

Spring flowers bring butterflies and one of my favorite tried and true stamp sets Baroque Motifs.  This card is sooooo simple, yet sooooo beautiful.  You may not be able to tell in the picture, but I added white frost shimmer paint and the shimmer really defines the elegance of this card. (If you click on the picture it enlarges and you will get an idea of how the shimmer adds to the finished product).  I promise your friends will love getting this card, but you may have a hard time parting with it!

12 beautiful cards-3 each of these 4 lovely designs with coordinating envelopes, an evening of fun and stamping- all for $20.  I hope to hear that you will be able to join us for May flowers and more!

Chocolate!

My daughter's pre-school is collecting donations for a family dinner and each class is collecting items for baskets for a specific theme. How excited I was to find out our theme was chocolate! Another excuse to pull out my "Eat Chocolate" stamp set! These are some of the items I made to donate! So quick and so easy! I hope you feel more inspired than hungry!

These were our Valentines from Nora for neighbors and friends. They were quick and easy. A little designer series paper wrapped around Hershey's nuggets and put in a bag. A 4x4 square of real red dry embossed with the polka dot embossing folder and the big shot folded in half as a topper. A little white organza ribbon wrapped around the top with a white heart punched on red layered on top! Quick easy, cute and loved by all! What a great idea for you to use for any occasion! Shop now on my website to look at all of the great designer series papers, stamps and punches available for your next wow idea!

BIG news

These cards are dedicated to my little sister-my hero, who just got the news this week that she is 5 years cancer free! Can I get a WOO HOO friends? I donated these as thank you cards for her relay for life fundraising efforts! She is AMAZING and I so proud of her and her fighting spirit! She has twice survived this monstrous disease and now she has beat it!

For you stampers who would like to CASE this card, the card itself just uses designer series paper. This is retired cottage wall as she needed purple for the cause of cancer itself. I just used a ribbon loop and affixed it with a brad. Easy peasy! The inside is stamped with hope happens, which is from the stamp set, "Hope Happens."

The envelope (If you stamp with me, you know I have a no naked envelope rule;) is stamped in pink with, "Ribbon of Hope," and love life, live life comes from the "You're a Gem" stamp set in the new mini.

Congratulations Rachelle and thank you for being an inspiration to me and so many others. We love you!
