March Lesson of the Month…It’s Like Stampin’ with Me in My Kitchen!


Are you ready to party? March’s Lesson of the Month features the Tea Party set from Stampin’ Up!’s main catalog!The focus of this month’s lesson will be threefold:  adding interest to a sentiment image, selective inking, making a tea bag holder.   Here are the three projects we will be making, each designed with specific objectives in mind:  

Card #1:  Clean and “Wow”

 Objectives for Card #1:

  • Creating dimension through layering
  • “Wowing” with embellishments and glitter

Card #2:  Clean and Vintage

    Objectives for Card #2:

    • Distressing to get a vintage look
    • Selective inking
    • Tying a double bow 

    Project #3:  Vintage-Style Double Tea Bag Holder

    Objectives for Project #3:

    • Creating an easy double tea-bag holder.
    • Using colors, embellishments and texture to enhance a theme.

     This month’s lesson will include the following:

    • the Tea Party clear stamp set (C 129138, $16.95).  Already own this set? You may substitute any set of any value up to $16.95.
    • one package of Tea Lace Paper Doilies (129399, $2.95)
    • one sheet of dimensionals (100 count) 
    • 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.  Due to the fact that I create all cards myself, class sizes will now be limited to the first 30 enrollees.

    • You will have until 12:00 Noon (CST) on the 23rd 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 23rd. Because I am late with this month’s order, I will expedite the order, and mail the stamp set, paper doilies, and dimensionals to you within 24 hours after I receive them.  The tutorials and video links are usually emailed by the 24th of the month, but will likely be a few days later this 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.  If you are not a patient person, please do not enroll. 
    • 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…
