Monthly Madness February 2019 Cards!

Hello!  My new venture of selling monthly card kits is off to a great start.  Last month, with the kick off of my very own Facebook page (Tina's Monthly Madness), I sold all my kits!  So awesome.  I just hope we can keep this going and growing!  I am excited to share with you month number two cards.  I decided on Get Well and Sympathy cards because these are ones that you might not need every day, but when you need them, it is so nice to have them made or have a kit ready to put together in short order!  Pretty flowers can make for a good get well card, so I went with cute and funny.  Sympathy cards are more simple.  I love how all the cards came out, and I hope you do too. 

Before I show you the cards, both the fronts and the insides, I want to remind you of the details.  You get 2 of each of the 5 designs (total 10 cards) for $30 (+$5 shipping) for the first month you order and every consecutive month you order.  Plus, you get a bonus thank you card, made by me, ready for you to send.  If you skip a month or more, the next time you order, the amount goes up to $40 + $5 shipping and you miss out on the bonus card. And then lastly, if you want me to make them for you, instead of receiving kits, you would add $10 more.  You can pay me by paypal or send me a check.  If you are doing Paypal, pick send to friends/family option and put in my email -stamperfw@aol.com.  If you want to send me a check instead, email me and I will send you the address.

Now, on to my card share...
Every month, one of the cards, will have a special fold or in this case, a slide pull out!  

This next one is great for a guy that needs a little humor!

I think sometimes people think the Pure Innocence girls are only for kids.  Not true at all.  I would be thrilled if someone made me this card, and I am not a kid!

I couldn't resist giving you a special pop up kleenex box on the inside!

This first sympathy card is probably one of my favorite go to designs and so glad I can share it with you!

The next sympathy card is also a simple design but very pretty.

And ... this is my bonus thank you card for the month.  Too cute!  I hope you will be getting one!

If you can, please share my blog post and/or my new Facebook page.  I really want to grow this little venture.  I so enjoy making the kits for you.  I thank you so much for your support!
Don't forget to order by the 15th so you don;t get left out!  Don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions.

Happy Stamping!

New Monthly Madness and January 2019 Samples!

Hello!  I know my blog is lonely.  So many cards I made in 2018 still need to be uploaded here.  I "hope" to remedy this issue sometime soon, even if it is just a photo a day!  Last year, I did do a few months of card kits from my home and it was quite successful so this year, I decided to try to grow this little venture into something more.  I now have my very own Facebook page!  For my friends, that do not do Facebook, no worries, I will still use my blog here to share photos and details.  Speaking of details, here is the scoop ...

Each monthly set will include 2 each of 5 different handmade cards either in kits where you make them yourself or cards premade by me. 10 cards total!  These are complete cards so there are inside panels too, with sentiments.  

Then there are 3 options:

Option 1: All In!  This is the every month option and is the best value.  $30 + $5 shipping.  You get the set of 10 card kits plus a thank you bonus card made by me that is ready to send.  Each kit has complete instructions with color photos.  Everything is cut, stamped, and ready to assemble.  (As Always!)

Option 2: Pick and Choose!  Pick the months you prefer to receive your set of 10 card kits.  $40 + $5 shipping.  This kit also has complete instructions with color photos.  Everything is cut, stamped and ready to assemble.

Option 3: Premade by Me!  This set is for completed cards made by me for you.  Add $10 to Option 1 or 2.

Date & Deadlines:  I will have the month's card samples available to show you no later than the 10th of the month.  Only a limited number of kits are available each month.  This is another advantage for Option 1 to make sure that you do not miss out on the monthly set!  Payment is required by the 15th of the month.  And the kits (or cards) will be sent out by the end of the month!  I can do paypal or you can send me a check.  Contact for info.  

Now that I have shared that with you, let's get to this month's kit cards!  Enjoy!

The Jar of Hearts is 3D.  You could add sequins and make it a shaker card!

This is the inside.

I love this one!

And this month, everyone will be doing option 1(or prepaid option 3) so everyone will get the bonus card!  I love how these turned out.  I hope you do too! 

Remember the deadline to purchase is January 15th.  Send me an email at stamperfw@aol.com.

Crazy Christmas Card Class Share!

Hello!  Remember me?  I love my job but finding the time to create when I am not working has been a struggle.  So, to give me a boost, I decide I should teach my crazy class!!  This is the 4th year I have taught this one and it is one that everyone loves.  Who wouldn't since I do almost all the work and you get everything to make 30 cards.  And that  is why I say CRAZY!   I am teaching at The Crafty Scrapper, but as always if you can't come, a kit is the way to go.  You don't want to miss out on this one.  On their website, you will see the group photo, but here I have the individual cards to show you.  Oh, and this time, there are 3 cards that kinda have a little something special, still easy enough to make with or without me, but couldn't resist adding a little extra fun.  Here are the 15 different cards you will be making...enjoy!

 

 

 

 This is one of the special ones, as it has a pull out message ...

 

 Special card #2, see how it opens...

 

 Special card #3, Gate fold opening ...

 

Below are the details if you are interested in coming to class or would like a kit.  The store's number is 972-923-3151.  Or send me a message.

6 x 6 Christmas Card Bonanza (aka Tina's Crazy Class) Saturday November 10th 1:00 p.m.$60
For the fourth year, I am doing your favorite class and one that makes me think, I must be crazy!  You will follow my samples to create 15 complete cards in class. (By complete, I mean that they all have panels on the inside with stamped sentiments).  In addition, as part of your kit, you will receive the remaining half of a 6 x 6 pad from Echo Park called Merry & Bright, my detailed instructions, and measurements for each page left in your pad, so that you can cut the remaining sheets, add your own white cardstock bases to create a second set of cards at home.  Plus, you will also receive all stamped and die cut images, all the colored panels and inside sentiment panels for your "to go kits"!  If 15 cards, are plenty, then you will have embellishments, colored cardstock panels, and half of a 6 x 6 pad to create other items with.  Please bring adhesive to include pop-ups, mini or micro glue dots, 3M foam tape, an X by Xyron (if you have one), detailed scissors, and your preferred coloring medium.  (Copics I used: E00, E33, C7, G00, G28, YG17, Y17, R46, R89, R43, RV25, RV32, RV10, C2, R11, YR23, E42, BG10, YR15).  All other supplies provided.

I really hope you can come.  I really miss seeing everyone!

Guy Greetings Card Kit!

Hello!  I finished my next card kit samples a few days ago and just now getting them ready for you to see!  Since Father's Day is in June and I always hear ladies asking for guy card ideas, I thought it was a great idea to make a "guy" set.  Last month I gave with the kit, sentiments stamped out so that you could have the choice of what occasion the cards would be for and could adhere these to the insides to complete them.  I am going with that idea again because I know not everyone needs Father's Day cards.  I think mainly guy cards are for birthdays or Father's Day so I will be including 3 each of two different sentiments. ( See photo below.)  One note, if you need other sentiments, let me know, I am sure I have whatever you need, as I have a lot of sentiment stamps!  Of course, envelopes are included with your kit!  The cost for the kits where you color and assemble is $22 + $5 shipping.  If you would rather me put them together for you, that cost is $25 + $5 shipping.  I wish I could get the shipping costs down, but unfortunately, it is, what it is.  You can send me a check or use your credit card to send payment by Paypal..  Okay, it is time for you to check out the cards!  Enjoy!

This first one uses a stamp I have used before, but he makes me smile.  On this one I just had to paper piece his apron...so cute!

And the second one, gives me a chuckle for sure!  Last month I used the old lady gardener, this month we have the guy one!  Howdy Hoe!!

 

If you took my classes, this third card will be similar to one I taught in class, just somewhat of a simpler version.  I really wanted to do another idea with the tools.  After all, I only have about 40 cards pinned on Pinterest of ideas!  But in the end, I couldn't resist repeating a favorite idea! 

The view on the backside of the card ...

I found some nice baseball paper that I thought would be great for a baseball card.  I really didn't know how to create a baseball, but I do now!  And so will you, as I will be including a very easy tutorial.  One other note, yesterday I showed the cards to some ladies at church, and they thought the card was a vertical one ... well yes, it could be, but I planned it to be horizontal, as shown!  Whatever, lol!

 

And last but not least, for card #5, a little fishing owl!  Of course!  Love how this one came out.  I even like the fish paper, even though the images on it would be better smaller!  It still works!

And the sentiments for the insides ...

 





 

This next photo shows the way I finish all the cards on the insides, so these panels are included too.

 

 

The kits will be ready to go in the mail by next Tuesday, May 29th!  That will still give you two full weeks before Father's Day to get them done.   I make all at one time, so once they are gone, they are gone.  Make sure you get on the "I want one" (or more) list! Here are ways to get ahold of me ... Email, stamperfw@aol.com Phone, 817-938-7754 (phone or text), or FB Messenger.
One thing I am starting to get more special orders of cards that people need.  So, remember that if you need a card that maybe you don't have an idea for, don't have time, or don't have the stamps or dies that will work, let me do it for YOU!  You still have a choice whether you want it in kit form so it is handmade by you, or if you want me to make it for you.  Either way, I appreciate the opportunity!
Happy Stamping!
