Class is now in session! It’s time to order the January Lesson of the Month! This month will feature the Happy Watercolor stamp set from the Occasions Catalog. The focus of this month’s lesson will be watercoloring. Here are the three very diverse cards we will be making, each designed with specific objectives in mind:
Card #1: Feminine in Blue … Ann’s Signature Style
- Objectives for Card #1:
- Using Aqua Painters to layer color
- Mixing patterns and textures
- Adding feminine touches
- Achieving cohesiveness
Card #2: Quick and Easy … Mixing Fun with Elegance
Objectives for Card #2:
- Scaling down layouts to fit Stampin’ Up!’s pre-cut note cards.
- Using color to evoke emotions
- Making the most of minimal embellishments
Card #3: It’s All About the Watercoloring … A Technique Practice Card
Objectives for Card #3:
- Using Aqua Painters to watercolor.
- Creating a “splash” background
- Embracing color
This month you will receive:
- the Happy Watercolor clear stamp set (C 133191, $21.95). Already own this set? You may substitute any set of any value up to $21.95.
- three completed cards (envelopes not included)
- emailed pdf project sheets which contain step-by-step instructions and photos on how to complete each card, including measurements
- item numbers for each product used
- a private link to video lessons for each one of the projects, discussing how it was created and demonstrating how to do the techniques used
- email assistance to answer any questions you may have about the cards
This is NOT a card kit. Each card is a completed card designed by me.
- You will have until 12:00 Noon (CST) on the 18th of this month to email me that you will be participating and to pay your PayPal invoice, which will be emailed to you. My email addresses are: ann@thestampinschach.com and kimschach@msn.com. Either one is fine. Sets will be ordered after 12:00 Noon CST on the 18th. Once I receive the set from Stampin’ Up!, I will mail it to you. The tutorials and video links are usually emailed by the 20th of the month.
- The three cards will be mailed as I get them completed. I create each card personally, and depending upon the number of subscribers, it does take time to complete the set. This month’s cards will be time intensive due to the watercoloring.
- There is no commitment. You can subscribe one month, and opt out the next. However, if you subscribe for three consecutive months, you will receive a surprise valued between $3.95 – $5.95.
The price for all of this is only $34.95 each month! Ready to enroll? Email me at: ann@thestampinschach.com
Until next time…
















You put so much love, thought and time in to each creation…that is so evident, Ann. These are baautiful!
Cannot add much to the other comments…I continue to say that I would love to be in your head just for one week….wow the things I could learn!
Gorgeous! Speaking of which, I saw a picture of you with a group at Leadership – are you sure you’re retired? You looked to be the youngest one there!!
all such wonderful looking cards
All great looking cards Ann. Could not pick a favorite. Keep up the good work, I love to see what creations will come up next. You are so inspiring! Nicole
I agree with “Chris from Iowa”. Really love that first one but they are all great!
What can I say, the first one took my breath away! The second one is wonderful and the third is one we can work on but it too is pretty darn special. How in the world do you do it? I can’t even begin to think about you with the new alcohol markers!
