Welcome to my blog!

Thank you for visiting my blog about cards and other hobbies. Stamp Club is for anyone that would enjoy making cards and learning new techniques - we would love to have you come! We meet the first Saturday of each month or the following Monday (unless changed because of holidays). (Each monthly get together is held those two days - sometimes one day is more convenient than the other!) An Evite is sent out each month - so if you would like to come to Stamp Club, just email me and let me know to put you on the Evite list: helencashon@gmail.com . Sometimes we have Stamp-A-Stacks or other classes also.

Dining Room - CLEAN!

Just wanted to share - my stampin' friends don't ever see this room this way!  The dining room and the table in there do get straightened up sometime!   The picture is proof! (Taken January 2012!)





March 2012 Birthday Stamp-A-Stack

March 24, 2012
Stamp-A-Stack is where we make several cards of several designs.  On this day, we made 3 cards each of 5 designs for $20.  Then also two bonus designs - 3 each of those two designs also.

We did not do this Cracked Glass card below - but I just showed it.  It takes a lot of coating the image piece with Versamark, then clear Embossing Powder, then heating - a number of times - like maybe 10 or 15 times, in order to get the clear embossing coating thick enough to crack.  When I did do it, I coated about 6 times, then put in the freezer to harden the coating.   Didn't crack well enough to demonstrate.  I let it sit out on the table overnight.  It did crack a little bit better the next day.
