Song of My Heart Stampers

Learn to make these Easiest Ever Easel cards for your friends!

The June 2019 Class of the Month includes TWO fun and easy special folds you'll love adding to your cards! This "easiest ever" easel card is so simple you don't even need to remember measurements!

An easel card is a card that stands up by itself on a desktop or mantel. Sometimes they're really complicated, but this one requires exactly ONE fold!

Unlike many fancy easel cards, this one has plenty of space to write, too, and it's on the inside and not the back. I LOVE practical but pretty WOW cards! And this is just ONE of the seven projects this month.

You can get my Class of the Month files for free when you place an order of $35 or more at http://bit.ly/shopwithLyssa using the June 2019 code VGTGN97S. The featured stamp set is Free as a Bird, but you can use any stamps you like with the layouts and techniques you'll learn in this month's class.

Class of the Month is my online rewards club--but there's ZERO commitment on your part. Play only when you want to! When I get notice of your order with the code for the month, I send you the project PDF files and a handmade thank you card with samples of new products inside.

I'll keep track of the number of times you've played, and when you've participated five times you'll get to pick any $30 item for free. Or save up ten points and get $60 worth free! I even pay the shipping on your freebie. WOW!! Complete details, fine print, all that yadda yadda is here.

Hope to see your name pop up with that code, very soon! Let's take a class together and learn something easy and fun.

June 2019 Class of the Month Club is here! Free as a Bird

I'm in love with the whole Bird Ballad suite of coordinating products, but especially the sweet stamp set with all the little birdies on a branch. I've created this month's class with seven projects (two easy fancy folds!) to show you just how versatile Free As a Bird can be. You'll enjoy learning to watercolor in three different ways, too!

You'll love learning the Easiest Ever Easel card and the Pull-Up Pocket fold... two quick "better than flat" card tricks that you can do any time without having to remember any fancy measurements or scoring. That's real-life papercrafting!

If you're not familiar with the way my online club works, you're in for a treat!

All you have to do is place an order of $35 or more at my online Stampin' Up store: http://bit.ly/shopwithLyssa and use the special June 2019 code VGTGN97S. I get notification of that order and automatically send you the club project files for the month: four brand new layouts with measurements, supply lists and complete instructions, plus 2-3 bonus layouts.

Each month's PDF file also comes with mailing tips, stamping basics, and any scoring or cutting guides needed. I've not had a single unhappy stamper yet! Complete online club details here

I also send you a handmade "Lyssa original" card! Inside you'll find the sampler of the month, a selection of coordinating papers and embellishments for you to try out and see if you'd like to add to your wishlist for next time. Who loves happy mail???

The last thing I do each month is keep track of who played along. Each time you participate by using the club code when you order, you get a point towards a shopping spree where I pay the shipping!

Learn to make these cards for your friends with furbabies!

I love making cards customized to my friends' likes and interests. Who wouldn't want a custom card that said, "I see you! I get it!?" Pulling together colors for my friend's big orange striped kitty or snuggly soft golden retriever is super satisfying. Pets work their way into our hearts, and it's great to have just the PERFECT card whether the occasion is happy (like an adoption) or bittersweet (a goodbye).

You can learn to make these two cards plus four other designs and several animal variations in the May 2019 Class of the Month Club! Your friends will love it and you'll be so glad you took this class. Start a binder, because once you take one, you'll be back for more!

BONUS this month--for every Class of the Month Club participant, I'll be donating $3 and a cat or dog card to my local Humane Society! They LOVE handmade cards to thank donors and congratulate new adoptive pet families. It's a match made in heaven for us cardmakers!

Complete club details are here: Nine Lives & Happy Tails Class

The club code to use while shopping in May 2019 is: FXHTJJJM ($35 min. order before sh & tax)

The deadline to participate in club each month is the 28th.

Remember, my club is different from any other out there. You participate ONLY in the months YOU want to--there is no commitment. Once you play five times, you get a shopping spree--or save your points until you have ten and get a bigger one! Each month you decide to play you get a point; the full-color multi-page PDF class file with step by step instructions, measurements, supply lists and tips; a handmade card from me; and a bunch of samples to try (could be ribbon, papers, embellishments, die cuts--anything!)

Hope to see your name pop up on my list to get this class and support our furry friends together with our fun hobby!

May 2019 Class of the Month Club is here! Nine Lives and Happy Tails

I'm excited to announce a first! The May 2019 Class of the Month features TWO sets--and you can make all the layouts with either one, if you don't have both of them! Nine Lives, featuring kitties, and Happy Tails, featuring dogs, both have coordinating punches that make these adorable sets even more fun and versatile.

It's best if you have both options : ) because the cute accessories and furry friendly sentiments are interchangeable--but you can make all the projects in this class with one or the other, depending on your needs.

Learn the easiest way to make additional elements for your cards, like this fun yarn ball and crazy string. You will love making custom cards to match the colors and personalities of your friends' beloved pets--and having just the right sayings for our furbabies who cross the rainbow bridge.

Join my online rewards club and start getting spoiled! Class of the Month Club

I'm so excited to share my online adventure with you--the Class of the Month Club! It's the most flexible online club option out there. I'm so SURE you're going to love it, that I'm not even requiring a commitment to "lock you in."

Here's how it works!

What Does Lyssa Prepare Each Month for COTM Club Members?

• I choose a stamp set each month and design 4 beautiful cards with it. They will range from easy to intermediate, with at least one advanced fancy fold or technique every month. There will also be 2-3 bonus designs, giving you even more ideas for that set!
• I'll create a 6-8 page PDF document with full-color photos, cutting measurements and step-by-step instructions, along with lots of tips for all four of the cards. Any necessary templates and cutting guides will be included.
• I'll "sneak peek" a couple of the projects, so you can decide if you're going to participate for the month. No surprises!

What Do COTM Club Members Have to Do Each Month?

• You place your order that month (any products you want) on my Shop with Lyssa site, using the club code. This lets me know you want to be in Class of the Month Club and get the perks and points!
• The club code will be published on the 1st, and your order with the code must be placed by the 28th of the month. You'll be able to see what's on sale for the month and adjust your personal order to get what YOU want to add to your tools and supplies.
• Your order will come straight to you--no waiting for the hostess to close, or trying to schedule pickups.

What's the Cost for COTM Club Each Month?

• Your Stampin' Up order will need to be at least $35 for the month to count for club, before shipping and taxes.
• Class of the Month Club is a fantastic way to stick to a crafting budget and still get lots of bang for the buck! I'm on a budget, too, so I know what it's like to want both supplies AND ideas--and have to choose between them. With COTM Club, there's no having to choose! Get BOTH every time you participate, as often as YOU are able to participate.

What Happens After Your COTM Club Order Each Month?

• The club PDF file will be e-mailed to you within 48 hours after your order. Just print it out and start creating! Your friends and family won't know what's gotten into you. The PDF will go to the email address you used when you ordered unless you tell me otherwise.
• I'm completely confident you'll fall in love the full-color photos, measurements, step-by-step instructions, design hints and practical tips that you'll be receiving every month for COTM Club.
• Start a binder for the amazing files you'll be getting each month, and you'll soon have an envious collection of tried-and-true inspiration right at your fingertips. Your skills will grow with each additional month as you play along.
• Your Stampin' Up order will come straight to you--no waiting extra days for delivery.

What Are Your COTM Club Rewards?

This is the FUN PART! Every time you participate in Class of the Month Club, you get a point. When you get five points, you get a $30 shopping spree--and I'll pay the shipping! This club is NOT a commitment for a certain time period--you participate at YOUR convenience! Play along as your budget allows, and whenever you've been able to take part five times, reward yourself with something fun and FREE.

Every participant also gets their own main catalog and appropriate seasonal publications, by request. And everyone who places a Class of the Month Club order will get a Free Product Sample of the Month inside a handmade thank-you card in the mail. The surprise sample could be ribbon... embellishments... papers... you never know! You will really enjoy getting an extra little goodie to use on a couple of projects of your own. Try it out--and if you like it, put it on your club order next month!

I'm so excited for Class of the Month Club each month!!!

I can't wait to share the next set of cards with you!  Will you be participating?

Maybe you'll wait for the sneak peek of the featured stamp set and decide?

I can't wait for you to become a Class of the Month Club Member... so I can SPOIL you rotten! Hope to see YOUR name pop up on the list next month. Email me anytime! Lyssa@songofmyheartstampers.com

March 2019 Class of the Month Club is here! Dandelion Wishes

Can you tell I'm longing for spring to begin?? Around here we eagerly look for dandelions in our yard... it means the winter is well and truly over. I've always loved dandelions. When I was a little girl, I cried all day after a neighboring farmer mowed down a glorious field of waist-high golden dandelions behind our backyard. I couldn't understand why he had done such a horrible thing!

I understand a little better now as an adult, but a good field of dandelions still makes me smile. I also love the wistfulness of the blowing seeds and the way you can see the wind dance as it moves the little parasols around. I have really enjoyed working with this stamp set, and should you decide to add Dandelion Wishes to your collection, I don't think you'll be disappointed!

February 2019 Class of the Month Club is here! Classic Garage

February's Class of the Month is revving up with the new Classic Garage suite from Stampin' Up!

We've got lots of vintage car fans in the family so I knew this was one bundle I'd be taking for more than just a test drive. It's well-designed, full of versatile images and lots of fun sayings. I'll be using the toolbox stamp for handy man cards, too. There's even a grease smudge stamp, how funny is that?!

One very nice thing about the coordinating papers for this suite is that the dies that match the stamp set go with the patterned papers, too. Here's a quick peek of all the fun patterns in the pack. I can't wait to make some scrapbook pages with this!

Want to order cardstock ready to match? Here's the colors: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Tranquil Tide, Mint Macaron and Crushed Curry

This month we have four projects and three bonus layouts, so you'll be getting a good variety of experience with the different elements of this fun suite. If you are on a budget, stick with the club minimum order of $35--but if you want, feel free to bump it up to $50 and earn yourself a free Sale-A-Bration reward choice! You can view all the SAB freebies to choose from here.

This is one of the fun background techniques you'll learn to make this month:

I'm so excited to share this month's masculine layout class, and I'm REALLY excited you guys are always chomping at the bit to see the new one each month. I love using my background in graphic design and layout to teach you how to make awesome cards and grow your skills as a papercrafter.

So go shop so we can start the fun!

Just don't forget the code : )

Last chance to get Butterfly Gala with the January Class of the Month!

A gorgeous, easy pop-up card and a gift card holder are both included in this month's Class of the Month club projects, for a grand total of seven card layouts you'll love. With step-by-step instructions, cutting measurements, design tips and full-color photos, you'll feel like you're crafting right along with me. I bring a unique background in graphic design to my creations, and I love teaching the principles behind good design to fellow stampers!

The price for all this amazingness plus club perks like earning shopping spree points and free samples in a handmade card each month?

Just an order of at least $35 before shipping and tax. Use the code SBXRTH6B TODAY (January 28th, 2019) when you shop Stampin' Up! with Lyssa to start enjoying the benefits of being in my exclusive, one-of-a-kind online club. Then watch for the February club code to post on the 1st--you won't want to miss what I've got in store this time!

Will you be getting this card from me? Butterfly Gala

Isn't this a fun use of ribbon? Especially the cute ruffly In Color ribbon. Hint: lay Tear & Tape down to adhere ribbon--it's very strong but also allows you to peel up and place the ribbon again if it's not quite straight.

If you don't have ribbon to match your project (I used Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink and Berry Burst), you can also use three slim strips of corresponding cardstock colors.

Learn to make this card and six other Butterfly Gala bundle designs (including a cool fancy fold!) when you participate in the January 2019 Class of the Month using the club code SBXRTH6B with any order minimum of $35 before shipping and tax at http://bit.ly/shopwithLyssa 

Don't own this stamp set & punch? That's ok! You can either order it when you place your club order, or sub in something else similar that you already own. The layouts and techniques from the class will still be useful for years to come!

Your club benefits and perks will automatically begin when you use the code.  Complete online club details here. I'll email to welcome you to the club and keep track of your participation points towards a shopping spree when you've played five months. Zero hassle! All YOU do is shop --and play!

Hope to see your name on my list of friends to send some fun new goodies before the monthly deadline of the 28th! I'm 100% confident you'll be back for more once you've tried my style of stamp club. Chat soon!

January 2019 Class of the Month Club is here! Butterfly Gala

Ready for fun in the new year? Join my online club and learn new layouts, technique and fun folds along with us, right in the comfort of your own craft room. This month's featured stamp set is the brand new Butterfly Gala and Butterfly Duet Punch bundle, perfectly priced at $35 to qualify for club!

My favorite part about this bundle is that the stamps come paired up to perfectly match the punch. So every time you stamp, you're getting two images at once! Mixing and matching the butterfly sizes and patterns is so much fun. And everything's really easy to line up, because it's clear photopolymer. You'll reach for this bundle over and over again for years to come!

Here's how my online club works: every month I prepare a class from scratch, with four projects and at least two bonus projects (this month there's a fancy fold!!) I format it all in a full-color, 6-7 page document you can print out or save on your device to reference while you're working. The files include not only measurements and step by step instructions, but also complete supply lists, bonus tips about caring for your stamps, stamping basics for beginners, and even mailing tricks from the pros. It really is like taking a class with me!

To participate, all you have to do is: #1--shop with the code for the month (this month's code is SBXRTH6B) at http://bit.ly/shopwithLyssa. Your order needs to be $35 or more before shipping and tax. The class files are emailed to you automatically when you use the code. You don't have to purchase the featured stamp set--it can be any $35 worth of Stampin' Up that you need to order.

*****NOTE: January is a Sale-A-Bration month! So while the club order minimum is just $35, if you spend $50, you'll get to choose one item from the rewards brochure for FREE. Click here to see the choices! And there's no limits--get a free item for every $50 spent. *****

After you've shopped, you can look forward to some happy mail from me, including a handmade thank you card filled with the Sampler of the Month, which can be anything from patterned papers to embellishments or even die-cuts. Give the generously-sized pieces a try and see if any of them will be added to your wish list for next month!

I'll keep track of your participation points, and when you've played along five times, you get a free $30 shopping spree. Or, you can keep saving up points and get a $60 shopping spree when you've collected ten. And did I mention that YOU decide when you want to play? The points don't have to be consecutive. This is one club uniquely designed to fit YOUR needs and crafting budget.

Hope to see your name pop up on the club order list very soon!

I can't wait to spoil you rotten : )

Love you to pieces, special needs support card

I've been having so much fun playing with the new Love You To Pieces stamp set and coordinating dies from Stampin' Up. It's just so unique and the ideas just keep coming! I've made fancy cards, simple cards, wedding cards, birthday cards, etc, all from the same bundle.

I wanted to come up with an encouragement card for moms of kids on the autism spectrum (near and dear to my heart), and I think the bright colors of this one echo that look pretty well. Here's what I used:

Happy crafting, my friend! And if you're one of the caregivers and support structure for a special kid, big hugs to you. Your vital ground work makes a difference in the quality of life for the child and everyone he or she will ever come into contact with. The sacrifices you make now will have positive consequences far into the future. I know it's hard and I wish we could go out for a cup of coffee and be real and just let it all hang out. Wouldn't we have fun? Sending love and strength your way today!
