Everyone was so excited to learn new stamping techniques. It was fun to see how people used those ideas to create cards that were all their own. LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE SMILES!
Traci (our DREAM Director of Operations) is so proud of her cards. She is a stamping expert!
Our sweet Marty worked to get Shannon caught up on what we were doing. Shannon LOVES stamping--she's a natural!
Marty, Shannon and Wayne munch snacks and get those beautiful holiday cards done! Labels: Creating your DREAMs Stamping Club, DREAM Charter School, Heidi Davenport, stamping club

I am showing the stampers the right and wrong way to use the Stampin' Up! punches. I LOVE teaching these basic techniques to new stampers!
Traci, Crystal and Lisa LOVED picking out patterned papers for their one-of-a-kind cards!

Here is another action shot of our holiday stamping. Check out the intense technique that Traci is using!
Everyone was having a really nice time relaxing together. It was a great afternoon of laughing and getting ink on our fingers. I am so lucky to have this amazing opportunity to share my love of stamping with these amazing people.
Here is a beautiful card that Sara created to celebrate Solstice.
Wayne put a creative twist on the holiday cards. I love his use of the three ornaments with the pop of orange.
Wayne is a really creative and down-to-earth guy with an contagious laugh! It was so much fun to stamp with him. Labels: Creating your DREAMs Stamping Club, DREAM Charter School, Heidi Davenport
Well, this is week 8--can't believe it! I am so excited about the edgy New York City sketch that Marty created this week. He loves to sneak off to the craft room and make his little creations. He then snaps a picture with his Blackberry and emails it to me. It's fun for him and I look forward to getting his cute email.
This is the sketch for this week. I thought for sure that our design team would make lots of city skyline cards. I was amazed as they emailed their designs to me this week! They are all so different and so beautiful. We would love to hear your comments and have you add your card.

This is a card designed by Jen Nagel inspired by Sketch #7.
HAPPY FRIDAY Stampers! I wanted to shift gears a little from my holiday cards to a really fun card card using the RAZZLE DAZZLE stamp set.
The main image was really fun to make. I colored directly on the rubber using four different colors of markers. This card has an elegant feel with a little fun, colorful twist! I would love to hear your comments and thoughts about this card!
With a few days left in Autumn, I wanted to feature this card. Every month a group of us gather for a fun shoebox swap where we all design a project and make each other's projects. It is so much fun to see what everyone comes up with. This beautiful card was designed by one of my friends and wonderful Stampin' Up! downline, Jenny Bonet. I made this card but it's a direct copy of what Jenny created--I loved her original design so much. If you want to check out some more of Jenny's creations, check out her blog at HEART TO ART CREATIONS. Labels: autumn cards, Heidi Davenport, Jenny Bonet, PaperCrafts Magazine
Starting with the new 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and continuing with all new punch designs going forward, Stampin' Up! has adopted a new body style for our punches!
A few features of the new punch style:
- Low-profile, rectangular punch body allows for easier stacking and storing
- Punches lock shut for easier storage and transport
- Dual labels on top and end allow for easy identification and selection when stored
- Available in three sizes: small, medium, and extra-large
- New punches allow for larger punched images and more intricate designs while providing greater ease of use.
- Extra -large punch images also allow for two-step designs like the Two-Step Bird punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog
- Corner punches allow you to punch a corner design along the inside edges of a page, not just corners
- larger, whole-hand handle design provides better leverage for easier use
- Available in an exclusive Stampin' Up! color
Welcome to Week #7 of Marty's Sunday Sketch. We are all amazed that it has already been 7 weeks of Marty's inspiration and our Design Team's creativity! I am always thrilled with the cards that they create from one week to the next.
I love when Marty sneaks off to THE MECCA to design his sketch. This week's sketch was done by punching out one flower and then Marty traced it several times to create his work of art.

***I had so much fun making this card using my BIG SHOT. It uses all BIG SHOT DIES which happen to be on sale from Stampin' Up! right now. Marty and I have been redecorating our apartment. As I have been sick and trying to recover, Marty has been a painting machine. After I assembled this card, I realized that it uses the same colors that we used in our apartment. Curious? Stay tuned for blog posts about the redecorating and painting. So much fun!

Over the past few years, there has been enormous demand from demonstrators and customers alike for a line of repositionable clear-mount rubber stamps. Well, you asked for it, and now you have it! Starting with stamps in the 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and the 2010 Sale-A-Bration Brochure, Stampin' Up! now offers our exclusive stamp art in both traditional wood-mount, and the new clear-mount option.
Our new clear-mount rubber stamps are the result of extensive research with the intent to maintain the very best image quality in the stamping industry, while at the same time offering the ease-of-use and storability inherent in repositionable clear-mount rubber stamps.
Clear-Mount Rubber Stamp Features
- Nine different sizes of clear blocks available individually or as a discounted bundle.
- Blocks have ergonomic grooves on all four sides for easy grip and traditional wood-mount feel.
- Stamps and blocks are durable and easy to clean with your Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist.
- Optional image labels on stamp backs let you decide if you want to see the image through the block or not.
- Tight die-cutting for easy image positioning.
- Large clear blocks can be used to create collages or spell words with alphabet sets.
- Stamps store easily in standard, DVD-type cases with artwork on front and spine, making organization easy.
Everyone loves DASHER and why not when the little guy is less than $9.00 and one of Stampin' Up!'s top selling stamps! You get this one stamp which is simply gorgeous when stamped on your holiday cards.
DELIGHTFUL DECORATIONS is a really sweet and easy to use holiday stamp set! This is a simple card with clean lines and relaxing colors.
This is Marty's 6th Sketch which was created in THE MECCA with a few basic supplies. I took one look at this and thought to myself "what will we possibly come up with"? As usual, the Design Team is always amazing and sees creativity and art in even the most basic of things. I think Marty likes challenging us in that way.
