Introducing May Stamp-of-the-Month: Sheltering Tree

►MDS Retired List – Excel

_____________________________________________________________________

Hi Stamping Friends!

I'm so excited to share my new Stamp-of-the Month class with you!  This month, we are featuring the lovely Sheltering Tree stamp set! 

I hope that I'm not disappointing anyone, because I decided to change this month's featured stamp set from Celebrate Today to Sheltering Tree.  I honestly was having trouble coming up with cards that I really liked with the Celebrate Today set, and if I'm not happy with it, how can I expect you to be happy with it? 

But, I had all kinds of ideas for this popular tree set!  Feel free to throw rotten tomatoes if I've upset you!

Here are all the class details…

May Stamp-of-The-Month Class Kit—Sheltering Tree

You'll love the fun images in the fabulous, four-season stamp set called Sheltering Tree!  It's been a really popular choice for my customers so far, so if you've been on the fence about buying it, now is the time!   

My stamping friends are loving its versatility and fun accent stamps for each season.  The images are good for all kinds of occasions, and work nicely for both feminine and masculine cards!  You really can't go wrong with this stamp set—it's an instant classic!

►Sheltering Tree Class Kit—Your kit will come with the Sheltering Tree photopolymer stamp set ($24.95), which is the all-clear style for achieving perfect placement every time. If you already have the stamp set, you can substitute other items of equal or greater value and pay the difference.

You'll also receive a full pack of Dimensionals foam adhesive dots.

Let's take a look at this month's projects!

5 Lovely Sheltering Tree Cards—Along with the stamp and Dimensionals, your class kit will also include all of the pre-cut supplies to create 5 pretty cards with your Sheltering Tree set!  Explore this fabulous tree through the seasons and try out some fun folds & techniques, too!  Envelopes are included.

We'll create the following projects:

• Soft Sky Summer/Winter Tree Card—Try the Double-Time stamping technique to create either a summer or winter tree card!
• Autumn Raking Leaves Card—Create a beautiful fall tree in rich, gold & rust colors.
• Warm My Heart Card—Use the Spotlight Technique to create a somber winter card with a delightful contrasting peek of spring!
• Oval Frame Blooming Tree Card—This fun, tri-fold card has a front oval window that frames a pretty spring tree on the inside. Create a two-color tree with the Thumping technique.
• Summer Friends Card—A fancy Z-fold style card with a summer bicycle theme.  I can't wait to show you the INSIDE of this one!  Wow!

Stay tuned…I'll be blogging about each of these projects in the days to come to give you a closer look!
