Virtual Club?

There are some who live far away from SD that want to make my cards from my clubs.Since I'm really busy with the clubs and BSTC I have decided to sell my club tutorials for $10.00 each month. No supplies, no stamps, no product to buy, no hostess benefits.

You will get the full color photos and instructions emailed to you each month.I'll have this ready by the end of the week. In the mean time here are sneak peeks of the cards we made at club last week.

The Revised Budget Stamping Club

After much thought and customer input, we will offer the Budget Stamp "Club" as a Tutorial only service. We will still be using the same set "Touch of Kindness" for a quarter(3 months) Since we started late we will showcase this stamp set until the end of June.
It will be offered as a subscription with recurring PayPal payments of $5.00 a month .You can try it for one month to see how you like it at a mere $2.00. If you like what you see you will automatically be enrolled into the Budget Tutorial Stamp "Club."(BTSC) You can quit the Budget Tutorial Stamp Club at any time, as long as you have paid for one month after your trial month.
Subscription members will be given a surprize at the end of a six month subscription.
Becky and I will make as many samples as we can design from the featured stamp set for only $5.00 a month. You will get easy to understand instructions and full color pictures. The tutorials will be emailed to you as a PDF file or Word doc.
Please email me if you have any questions: sarah@stetlerarts.com
Shown is a sample of one of Becky's creations.

Recipe for UDI Card

I have been asked to give you the recipe for my DT card I made for yesterday's Utah Diva's entry.
Card Base in Real Red (RR) CS/102482 4.25 X 11 folded protrait view to make a 4.25 X 5.50 inch card.
Daffodil Delight (DD) cardstock background/119683 5.25 X 4 inches.
Whisper White (WW) cardstock/100730  4 X 1/2 strip
Pear Pizzazz (PP) cardstock/119795
Real Red ink/103133
Two- 4.24 X 2 inch Celebrations DSP/117164
2 step bird punch (wings are the leaves)117191
1 inch circle punch/119868
Fancy Flower punch/118073
Itty Bitty Shapes/118309 ( I actually used the retired trio flower punch but forgot they were retired..my bad)
Perfect Polka Dot Embossing folder/117335
Curly Cute stamp set clear/120510
Basic Pearls/119247
Run your DD background through the Perfect Polka Dot folder and adhere to the RR card base
Stack your two DSP together and punch out the middle of each using half of the Fancy Flower punch. It is easiest to do this holding the punch up-side down.Then run these DSP sections through the Perfect Polka Dot Folder.
Adhere the DSP to the top and bottom of the card front.
Punch out a RR fancy flower, 1 inch DD circle,3- tiny RR flowers, then run through the Perfect Polka Dot Folder.
Punch out the wings from the 2-step bird punch in PP.
Attach the Fancy Flower, circle and tiny flower then pearl in the middle of the card.
Attach the "leaves" under the flower. I didn't emboss the leaves.
Stamp your sentiment on the strip of WW with RR ink.
Attach the sentiment to the top and attach two flowers on the ends and attach a tiny pearl on each tiny RR flower.


I hope this helps, and thanks for looking,

Wood Panel Technique

This technique is really easy. You'll need a 5 1/4 X 4 piece of So Saffron CS,then score every 1/2 inch either way you want the "panels" to run.You can do it either horizontally or vertically. Then take a Soft Suede ink pad and run down the length of the panels. Don't move your ink pad cross grain of the scored lines. Then do the same thing with Early Espresso ink pad. You can make it as dark as you like.That's it, too easy right? If you have any questions just give me a yell.

wood panel technique

I have been asked to provide the instructions for the wood panel technique.I'll do that this week end and post it here.
