Time for a Red Cup!

The 2nd Sunday of every month is a full day of card making.  Starting at 2 pm, I hold my 2nd Sunday Coffee & Cards class.  This is a class for all ranges, from beginning paper crafter and card maker  to the more experienced.  At any given time I can have people who’ve never stamped before, to people with years of crafting experience.  It’s such a joy to see some stamp for the first time.  Picking the stamp up off paper and seeing the crisp, clean images that come from using high quality Stampin’ Up! products is so much fun!  And we all wait for that “Look what I made!” moment when they’ve completed their first card. 

Yesterday, we played with the Coffee Cafe bundle and made 3 delightful cards using the Coffee Break suite of products.  I served cafe latte’s from my amazing Nespresso machine; I think all the ladies have put their super cool milk frother on their Christmas lists!  And Sarah brought her homemade “uni-Scotti” – one baked biscotti full of cloves and chocolate chips.  It was a delightful way to spend a cloudy summer afternoon.   

Then, I surprised everyone when I pulled out the 4th card.  I’d used the new Merry Cafe Stamp Set from the new holiday catalog with the Be Merry designer series paper to recreate the beloved “Red Cup” we all look forward to at the holidays.  This was the true favorite of the day.  

It’s so much fun to use this holiday set, that I’m going to feature it all week long!   And you can get yours starting September 1st.  Or, join my team of Stamping Bees and you can get yours right now!  Need a catalog?  Email me today for your copy.
