Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet

This evening as I was making dinner, I caught the Friends episode with Phoebe's Smelly Cat video. I was never a big Friends fan, but loved Phoebe/Ursula on Mad About You. When I saw this episode, it reminded me I really wanted to share my Smell My Feet Tent Card.

As stated on the previous post, the tent card is making its way to nearly every stamping blog. I love Stampin' Up!'s new Batty for You stamp set - especially the smell my feet saying. Brings me back to my childhood I guess. So while you take a look at my creation, you can either start singing the childhood classic trick or treat song or the more updated Phoebe version Smelly Feet, smelly feet...why are you so smelly?

2007 Fabulous Fall Stamp Camp

Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the crisp air and bright skies...the gorgeous landscape backdrops...the crunching sounds of leaves underfoot. Now, my boys love this time of year as I tend to bake more...they translate autumn with the smells of my pumpkin bread or apple crisp. In Wisconsin, we truly have magnificent colors this year due to the late summer rains. Autumn colors in rich hues inspire me.

I love hosting my Fabulous Fall Stamp Camp. At this year's stamp camp, my customers made three cards and a 3D item.

I wanted to show a different fall color palette for one of the cards so I used Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, and Blue Bayou. WOW...it was a fabulous combination.

I then showed my stampers how to do the filmstrip technique. Easy to do and great way to stamp a silly card!

I also tried a different card format made very popular on recent blogs - the tent card. I love this new style and came up with lots of different versions.

The 3D item was a Trident Gum Packet. A big hit - so easy and adaptable to many different occasions.

All of the cards from the Fabulous Fall Stamp Camp have been uploaded to my stamped art gallery. I even posted the other samples I shared with my stampers - you can check them out here: http://www.stampwithjane.com/stampcampgalleryfabfall2007.html

September Technique Tuesday Class

Last week I held my September Technique Tuesday class. Another FULL HOUSE this month - and my stampers were thrilled with the techniques, color combos, finished cards, and their ability to quickly complete the projects!

I showed my stampers how to do the faux aging technique, the brayered bleach technique, and the rolling marble technique. Here was one of my favorites using Serene Sunflower and the faux aging paper technique:
