Join me live on Friday, December 30 at 7pm EST for my very first Bingo & Card Class! With your class packet, you will be stamping, card making and learning, and have the opportunity to win Bingo prizes and door prizes.
Bingo
We will be playing Bingo by Zoom. Plan on 6 fun-filled rounds with fabulous stamping prizes. You will receive 2 Bingo Boards in your class packet, but will have the opportunity to double your Bingo Boards to 4 total when you upgrade at checkout.
Feeling lucky? You may only win twice, and after that you will receive consolation prizes if you keep on winning. We want to spread the awesome prizes to more participants, after all. Each of your Bingo Boards will be in play for every round of Bingo.
Card Class
This is a card class! You will receive a Swag Bag with DSP, ribbon and embellishments. You will also get 4 card kits with written directions for assembly. Stick around live on Zoom after the Bingo event has ended to stamp with me and put your cards together. Or use your directions at any time to complete your card kits.
I will send a detailed list of the supplies I am using for the card kits. If you have the same stamp sets and ink, pull them out to use them. If not, substitute any supplies you have on hand. Your all occasion cards will be lovely either way.
Sign Up Now
This event is limited to the first 25 stampers who sign up and pay. The deadline to sign up is December 19 at midnight EST. Your class packet will mail by USPS on December 20. In the event the post office is unable to deliver your package to you by December 30, I will email Bingo Boards for you to use for our games.

The Fitting Florets Collection has just been released! Stampin’ Up! demonstrators have had the opportunity to play with this collection for a month now. It is time for customers to join in on the fun!
During this early release of products from the Fitting Florets Collection, there are some that will be available only while supplies last, or thru January 4, 2023, whichever comes first. This includes a stamp set, Framed and Festive, that can stand alone, without the Fitting Florets Collection. It is perfect for your Christmas card needs!
During my live card making demonstration, I shared 3 cards using this amazing collection! You can watch the class here.
For my first card, I shared a fun-fold design and created a very lovely birthday card. This was really quick to put together, and provides a great “wow” factor. The oval dies I used here are very versatile. Here is a look at the finished design.
Fitting Florets Christmas Cards
For my next 2 cards, I showcased how to use the Fitting Florets DSP and create seasonal cards in fun color combos. I tackled the Evening Evergreen Card first, stepping it up with lots of gorgeous gold accents. I used the fanciest oval die cut, and added in the basic oval die as well.
And for my last card of this class, I added in something extra cute: a sweet pair of Cherry Cobbler mittens. I just couldn’t resist pairing this color with the Balmy Blue DSP. For this card, I used the oval die that cuts tiny hearts on the paper, rather than cutting an oval out. But that basic oval die works well for layering purposes every time.
Get Your Card Kits From This Class!
With a qualifying order over $35 in my online store using the Host Code 773YEY33 from November 1-6 2022, I will send you a set of card kits (1 of each design, 3 total) that you can use to recreate these cards at home. Your cards will be easy to put together- I will do all the cutting, die cutting and embossing (but no stamping).

Join me on Monday evenings at 8pm (EST) for a live class on my FaceBook page, The Maine Stamper. Or watch for my YouTube videos posted shortly after, the The Maine Stamper channel. Hope to see you there!
Color Swap: Who Wore It Better?
I always create a color swap card from my card class. And since it is more difficult to change up Christmas cards with alternate colors, I chose the birthday card instead.
My first card was darker blue and pink, using a Night of Navy card base. And while I changed the tones, my color swap card is also pink (Polished Pink card base) and blue…but Balmy Blue instead of Navy. Here they are for comparison. Which one is your favorite?
It’s always a splendid day when we get to do some stamping! I really enjoyed breaking out the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set and Splendid Stems Dies from the Splendid Day Suite for my latest online card class.
While there are many items in the Splendid Day Suite, I did not use all of them. In fact, with this very fern-y based stamp set, I did not even use the color green. The Splendid Thoughts Bundle is featured in all 3 of my class cards. Check out my video for the class here.
Splendid Day in Night Of Navy
My first card from the Splendid Day Online Class is all blue and white. I adore this classic color combo. The Designer Series Paper, Sun Prints, gives us something beautiful to work off of immediately.
I prefer the Thick White Cardstock when choosing a white card base. I also love lots of matting and layers. This card was really very easy to put together. The stamping is not two-step, even though it appears it might be. The outline and inner fill do not line up exactly at all.
Splendid Masculine Christmas Card
My second card from the Splendid Day Online Class took a more masculine turn. I chose some DSP from Painted Christmas, picking out a pine cone pattern. The Distressed Gold Specialty Paper added an elegant touch as well.
After heat embossing my fern outline with gold powder, I did a little water coloring using ink refill and a Water Painter. I did this on Very Vanilla Cardstock, not Water Color Paper or Shimmery White Cardstock. And the Stitched Rectangle Dies helped to bring this card together.
Let’s Celebrate a Splendid Day
My third and final card from the Splendid Day Online Class is done in purples. The shiny Fresh Freesia DSP is from the Splendid Day collection. I paired this with some Rich Razzleberry embossed in none other than the Fern 3D folder.
This card features a lot of special touches, like some background stamping with first and second generation ink, as well as silver Metallic Mesh Ribbon. I used Rhinestone Basic Jewels to add another accent of silver.

I love to create a color swap card, and couldn’t resist trying my Night of Navy card (made with Sun Prints DSP) against a Calypso Coral/Cajun Craze card (made with Pretty Prints DSP). Many of the patterns on both of these sets of Designer Series Paper are identical in design, but vary in color. Which one do your prefer?
