Card Class #1

Good afternoon. I had five lovely ladies over this morning for a card class and this was the favorite. The colors used are lucky limeade, wisteria wonder, elegant eggplant, baja breeze, and whisper white. The flowers were stamped using Versamark and then punched out with the Fancy Flower punch. They were layered on top of a whisper white top note and parts of the Little Leaves sizzlits die were attached with glue dots as well. Three basic pearls and some wisteria wonder ruffled ribbon were added to make this card pop. I had several different stamps they could choose from to stamp on the bottom of the white top note - most chose one of the "friend" stamps I have. What a great card to send to a special friend!

Grateful

Good morning. I have a teenager in my house!!! My son turns 13 today -unbelievable how fast time flies! Thought I'd post this new card I Cased from A-MARIE off Stampin Connection since I am soo grateful to have my son in my life.

I used Crumb cake as the base, then layered early espresso that I ran thru the big shot with the square lattice embossing folder. On top is a piece of cajun craze that went thru the big shot with the top note die and then a new technique I learned....just turn the paper sideways and run it thru again! You get more of a square sized top note - love this! Used the big stamp from the Day of Gratitude set and inked it with cajun craze and then went over the edges with an espresso marker. Added a brad from the antique brads collection, popped it up with a few dimensionals and what a great card!

Happy Harvest

Isn't this card adorable?!? It uses the great stamp set Loads of Love and the pumpkins in the back are from the accessories set. I CASE'd this card from Laura Love on stampin connection. To make the truck I stamped the image onto a piece of Frightful Sight DSP and then cut it out. I also stamped the image onto whisper white cardstock, colored the tires, bumpers,and pumpkins, and then adhered the paper truck on top of it. Much easier than I expected as I had never done this paper piecing technique before. The cajun craze, early espresso, and old olive were great colors together and make me excited for fall!

Halloween fancy favor boxes

Here are some cute fancy favor die cut boxes I made the other day for Halloween. On the black one I used a stamp from the set Batty for You and some Frightful Sight DSP. For the old olive one, I used the absolutely adorable halloween owl from the set Warmest of Wishes which is a hostess set out of the new holiday mini catalog. I used a different piece of DSP from the Frightful Sight collection. Tied up a medium sized cello bag with some matching ribbon and viola! A cute halloween gift!

Christmas cards for OWH

Here are 4 cards my PEO group will be making to send to Operation Write Home for soldiers who are stationed overseas. My goal is to get 100 cards made at our next meeting. I might use one or two of these at my Christmas card class in early November as well. I really like the ornament card that uses the colors Lucky Limeade and Rich Razzleberry - they look great together. And Frosty has been around forever but he is still one of my absolute favorite stamps. I will keep him forever!
