What's Your Type?

During my stamp club meetings, I try to introduce a new product, new technique or new "something" that gets my ladies excited to stamp.  During this month's meeting, we played with the What's Your Type stamp set.  Our focus was on the benefit of using photopolymer stamps for perfect placement and also the versatility of the What's Your Type stamp set.

I would never have purchased this stamp set had I not seen samples of it during the Sneak Peek this spring.  It looks kinda...geometrical? Not typically my thing.  But, after seeing the VERY cool alphabets that can be made and the possibilities with the backgrounds, I was hooked.

Aside from the cool, retro looking card, we made bookmarks to show off the possibilities of creating lettering. Some ladies used all caps, others integrated some lower case options that I found on Pinterest. (I love smart, creative people who SHARE!) Michelle used a combination and was happily able to fit her long name onto an 11" strip without worry :)

Give the What's Your Type stamp set a shot. Don't own it but want to play?  Just email me to set up some stampin' time.  I love to play!

Getting ready for Christmas without a Christmas Stamp Set

Yes, I know.  Nobody wants to think about Christmas, much less, winter at this point in time.  I feel like we've barely even had a summer!  That said, it really is time for the crafty-hearted folks to start thinking about their holiday crafting.  Every year around the middle of December I find myself rushing to get my holiday cards MADE and out the door.  I always say, "Next year I'm going to get these done early."  THIS YEAR is my year. (Never heard that from a Cubs fan before, have ya?)

On Saturday, August 16 and Monday, August 18 I will be offering the "Getting ready for Christmas without a Christmas stamp set" class.  Join me to make 20 cards, all holiday themed, without using one single stamp that comes in a "holiday themed" stamp set.

These cards are quick and easy, appropriate for all skill levels, but each has a certain zing that catches your attention and gets that little "ah ha" moment!

To register for the Saturday class, click this link -->  http://www.meetup.com/kellistamps4u/events/197960662/
To register for Monday's session, click this link -->  http://www.meetup.com/kellistamps4u/events/197960762/

Bring a friend who is new to Kelli's Korner and you will both get matching envelopes included in your class for FREE!

More Blendabilities are on the way!

On August 1, six more Stampin' Blendabilities colors will be available to YOU! Mambo Melon, Night of Navy, Calypso Coral, Wisteria Wonder, Smoky Slate and Crumb Cake join the Blendabilities family.  I'm a Blendies addict!  I'm having so much fun moving and blending colors with these amazing markers.  And now that I've gotten my hands on my FAVORITE Stampin' Up! color (Wisteria Wonder) there's no telling what I'm going to color next!!

I worked this card for a couple of days, adding more flowers here and there, picking and choosing just the right shade for each flower. I'm super pleased with how it turned out.

The flowers come from the hostess set I Like You.  It's a perfect line art companion to do some great coloring with your Blendabilities. I also decided to pull out my Simply Pressed Clay to make some matching flower accessories for my card. Blendabilities seem to color on dried clay really well. I colored my clay with Wisteria Wonder and used my Blendabilities to add a little depth in the creases. I really like how they turned out.

If you want to learn more about what you can do with your Blendabilities, I invite you to join me for my next Blendabilities instructional on Thursday, August 21 at 7:00pm.  Visit my Meetup page to register.
