Yesterday I promised to tell you a way to get 20% off on my classes!  Well here it is!

BRING YOUR STAMPIN’ BASICS KIT!

It doesn’t even have to be all these supplies!  Just provide your own Snail adhesive, make sure you have a refill, and also a package of dimensional adhesive dots!

If you don’t have these, you can order them HERE – or just click on the green SHOP ONLINE heart on the top right corner of this page.  You will need to order at least a week before the class to get the supplies in time.  (that would be no later than Friday, August 10th if you plan to take the One Sheet Wonder class on August 17th).  If you have any questions, please feel free to email me (pat@mystampalooza.com).

Now, would you like to get this class for FREE? Place an order for at least $150 by Friday August 10th!  Make sure you include the Snail Adhesive, refill and Dimensional adhesive dots in your order and bring them to class.  When you reach the $150 threshold for your order, you earn 10% in reward dollars – you can order up to that amount in product, or purchase one of the exclusive Hostess level stamp sets at the back of the catalog!  These Hostess level stamp sets are already discounted – to give you even MORE bang for your buck.

Can’t decide what to order?  Drop me a line and I’ll be happy to make suggestions based on your stamping interests – whether it is cards, scrapbooking, gifts or home decor!

Yes, I have my hot little hands on this catalog!  …and I have to say, once again, my pockeybook will have a sad face for the next few months!  I can’t wait to get some of these holiday stamps and accessories to make cards, tags, gift boxes, and home dec items to show you on the blog!  I will be having several workshops and classes this fall, because, EVERYTHING is Stinkin’ CUTE!  Now there ARE holiday stamps, paper and embellishments in the Annual Catalog, so there will be a One-Sheet-Wonder class in August, just to get the holidays started.  We will make 14 different holiday cards from one 12×12 sheet of holiday designer paper, some stamps, embossing folders, and thinlit dies.  Details below:

Date: Friday, August 24th – One Sheet Wonder Card Class – $25, all supplies provided.  Location: Art Gallery of Fells Point on the Avenue, 825 W. 36th Street, Baltimore Md. 21211 (Hampden), 6:30pm – 8:30pm, Deadline for registration: Sunday Aug.12th.  Late registration $35  Please email pat@mystampalooza.com to register.

Stay tuned to learn how to get a 20% discount on the class!

I am so excited to introduce a class to you – Intro to Project Life – Scrapbooking in an afternoon. First of all, I will admit I am NOT a scrapbooker – WAAYYYYY too much time to create Just-that-perfect-page! And even the lure of quick scrapbooking with Project Life faded fast because, once again, toooooo much time (even with pocket pages) to create just-that-perfect-PROJECTLIFE-page! But, never fear the LIGHT has come ON! I have figured out the perfect WAY to do Project Life! …and I have put together a great class to introduce you to the MAGIC!  The class kit includes a 6″x8″ Project Life (PL) binder, 12 6″x8″ assorted PL pocket pages, One of two themed PL sets (stamp set, cards & accessories).  During the class, we will fill ALL 12 pages with cards, embellishments, and your photos.  There is plenty of room in the binder for more pages, if you want to add more later, and there will be plenty left over of the themed cards & accessories for that as well.  All supplies will be provided (coordinating color card stock, inkpads, markers, dies, adhesives) for use during class time.  The class will be held on Saturday, Sept. 5th, from Noon – 3pm at the Art Gallery of Fells Point (1716 Thames St., Baltimore, MD  21231), the cost is $80 per person, and anyone signing up for the class by August 25th will receive a FREE journaling pen!  The fine print: prepayment is required at signup.  No refunds for cancellations or missing the class – the kit and all class handouts will be provided to you after the class is held.  Message or email me to register for the class.  Payment can be sent via Paypal or I can email a Square invoice.  Registration will be confirmed when payment is completed.

Here it is as I promised!!! Valentine Schmalentine!  Just to prove there is something for EVERYONE on Valentine’s Day.  I saw this phrase somewhere in my travels, and could not get it out of my mind.  The font is “Black Adder ITC” – think it was a font included in one of the software packages on my laptop, because I did not download it specifically.  The cherub stamp, pleated ribbon and smooch spritz (I keep wanting to type “SCHPRITZ”! LOL) are all from the new Occasions Mini Catalog.  I did the printing right on Stampin’ Up’s Shimmery White Card Stock, and it printed beautifully!  I positioned it so that I could cut 4 cardfronts from the paper.  You can do this in any word processing program, even MDS (My Digital Studio), however I am a Corel Draw gal from wayyyy back, so that is what I set this up in.  If anyone would like specific instructions, please feel free to contact me.

I am in the process of setting up a special section on my blog that features content only available to my newsletter subscribers.  Detailed instructions for all of my cards will be there, as well as a few other surprises.  Where do you subscribe?  Well keep tuned as I have a February 15th startup date planned for that.  To celebrate, I will have a bunch of give-aways, and it is all FREE!!!

If you’re not sure about subscribing, not to worry, I will still have posts just like this available to everyone!  You can decide to sign up later on if you get CURIOUS! 😉

Until next time…Keep Calm and Find Yourself a Rubber Stamp!

Here’s the 2nd card we will be doing at the workshop!

Here is one of the cards we will be making in the first workshop to be held at “Studio Stampalooza” this coming Sunday, Jan 29th, from 1pm to 4pm.  For any readers who don’t know, my studio is in the (historic) Crown Cork and Seal Factory in the Greektown area of Baltimore City.  There is plenty of free parking, and it is only 3 blocks from Eastern Ave.  The address is 4401 Eastern Ave, but that is misleading because the entrance is actually on Fait Ave.  Here is a map that may help.

The charge for this class is $10 and we will make 2 cards, have beverages and a nosh, and lots of cameraderie.  I do have a surprise gift for the first 10 folks to sign up.  Since this is a Stampin’ Up event, I will have the 2012 Idea Book and Catalog available, as well as a 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog and the 2012 Sale-A-Bration Catalog for each participant.  Would you like to take the workshop for FREE?  Anyone placing an order for $25 (of product) or more can have their $10 fee applied to the order! Please call me (443-326-1365) or email (patriciabaker18@hotmail.com) to reserve your spot in the workshop!

Be sure to check in to tomorrow’s post for the 2nd card we will be making!

Until then,,,,Keep Calm and Find Yourself a Rubber Stamp!
