Have you used the Stampin'
Around wheels yet? They are just
fantastic - a really quick and easy
way to create borders and backgrounds,
decorate cards, scrapbook pages,
gift boxes and more. My favourite
at the moment is the So Swirly Jumbo
Wheel which coordinates with the
Priceless stamp set. Check out my
blog (June 23rd post) to see a cute
little box and matching 3x3 inch
cards made with the Priceless set
and So Swirly wheel.
To purchase your stamp set and
receive your matching wheel, just
contact me to place an order. You
can place an individual order (which
I can even have shipped directly
to your door) or you can order at
a workshop if you attending one
in September. You can also order
at my Open Stamping Night.

I am planning a series of classes
in November covering basic stamping
and cardmaking techniques. These
classes will be perfect for new
stampers but also suitable for experienced
stampers who would like to go over
the basics and learn some simple
card layouts as well. (Not to mention,
a fun social evening!)
Before I announce dates I would
like to get some feedback as to
which night of the week would be
most suitable for most people. I
am planning to run 3 or 4 sessions
on the same night each week for
the month of November, for example
it could be every Tuesday night
in November from 7.30pm to 9pm.
I will cover lots of basic techniques
such as 2-step stamping, background
stamps, embossing, chalks, etc.
You will learn basic card layouts
and create approximately 3 projects
at each class. You will also receive
instructions to collect and keep
for future reference.
I may also go on to plan future
technique classes covering more
advanced techniques at a later date.
If you think you may be interested
in the Stampin' 101 classes, please
contact me by Friday 5th of September
to put in your preferences for days
of the week that suit you. I will
send out an email with the chosen
dates the following week.

Sunday 7th of September
is Father's Day. Have you made
a Father's Day card yet? If you
struggle with making cards for
the men in your life, here are
some tips and ideas for you:
Patterned Paper - use
a fairly large piece of masculine
patterned paper (something with
stipes is always good!) as the
background for you card and use
word stamp such as Happy Father's
Day or Happy Birthday mounted
on a neutral cardstock in the
centre.
 
Hardware
- use some of the Hodge Podge
Hardware on your card - it can
really help to add that manly
touch. The photo turns are great,
as are the buckles and brads.
Earth Elements - The Earth
Elements colour family is fantastic
for manly cards. See the Project
Planner at the end of the newsletter
for an example using Earth Elements.
Stamps - I love the LOVELY
AS A TREE set for manly cards.
I often turn to my background
stamps too for men's cards. I
reach for the Canvas Background,
Weathered Background and Sanded
Background.
Distressing - Try tearing
the edges of your cardstock or
maybe using the distressing tool
in the Cutter Kit.

Crystal Effects
If you want to embellish any
image without embossing, this
is a quick and easy way to do
so. Crystal Effects adds a pretty,
high-gloss, lacquered look and
the applicator tip gives you great
control.
Add a drop or two of our Classic
Ink to the Crystal Effects and
you'll make a high-gloss coloured
finish.
Crystal Effects great as an adhesive
to attach button and other heavier
embellishments.
Add a three-dimensional effect
to your projects with Crystal
Effects. Simply apply a thick
line of Crystal Effects to the
outline of your stamped image.
After the line has dried, add
a thinner coat of Crystal Effects
to the inside area of what was
outlined.
Crystal Effects can be used with
any stamped image that has been
coloured with any medium.
Do not shake - this can cause
bubbles that will show up in your
work.
Recap after use to prevent the
tip from drying and clogging.
Allow at least one hour drying
time.

This month's project would
make a great Father's Day card.
It would be equally great as
a birthday card or any occasion
really.
