The great comedian Groucho Marx once said, “I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be.” As for me, I choose happiness! And I also chose “Choose Happiness” as the July Lesson of the Month stamp set. Here are the three projects we will be creating this month, each designed with specific objectives in mind.
Card #1: Distressed Collage
Lesson Focus
- Creating a collage card
- Adding vintage touches
- Using an acrylic block to create a background
Card #2: Clean and Layered
Lesson Focus:
- Creating monochromatic cards
- Using an acrylic block to create a background
- Creating clean and simple cards
Project #3: Tag with Bag
Lesson Focus
- Creating a collage tag
This month’s lesson will include the following:
- the Choose Happiness clear stamp set (C 134198, $17.95). Already own this set? You may substitute any set of any value up to $19.95.
- Chevron Tag a Bag Gift Bags (131370, $3.95)
- two completed cards (envelopes not included) and 1 gift tag
- emailed pdf project sheets which contain step-by-step instructions and photos on how to complete each project, 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 are strictly limited to the first 30 enrollees.
- You will have until 12:00 Noon (CST) on the 29th 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 29th. The tutorials and video links will be emailed to you by July 31st.
- The cards and tag 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 projects.
- There is no commitment. You can subscribe one month, and opt out the next. However, you will receive a surprise valued between $3.95 – $5.95, for every three months you enroll (on your 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th month…).
The price for all of this is only $34.95 each month! Ready to enroll? Email me at: ann@thestampinschach.com
Until next time…
Hi, Eva! I am not certain what the problem could be. I’ll talk with someone who is more computer savvy than I am. I signed you up, and sent out your invoice 🙂
I for some reason cannot email you to let you know I want to do the class. Never had the problem before. What am I doing wrong? Eva
Woah! That’s a LOT of fussy cutting! Sending good lotion and massage for your poor fingers. 🙂
Really beautiful collection of cards Ann. I especially love the first. Lots of lovely layers & detail. Choose Happiness is really growing on me.
