Pull Up Card with Envelope

DATE:  Sunday, May 5th
TIME:  1 TO 3 PM
COST:  $15

Hey everyone!  Tomorrow is May 1st and I'm ready for Spring -- I just wish the weather would catch up with the date!

As mentioned before, May is going to be a month of interactive cards.  I love creating them and I love teaching them to you even more!  So let's start this month off with a fun pull up card that I found on the internet.  I redesigned it to a more manageable size for mailing.  I hope you like it.

This is a top view of the card -- nothing to look at, huh?  Well check out the second photo to see this card in action!

Isn't this cool?  There's also a space on the underside of the card for a sentiment or your personalization.  Since it's an unusual size, we'll be creating an envelope to fit using the envelope punch board.

This class is almost full.  If you are interested in attending, I MUST be notified by the end of day  Wednesday, May 1st.  Late sign-ups can not be accepted due to prep and time constraints.

I look forward to seeing you all again!

Waterfall Cards!

DATE:  SUNDAY, APRIL 28TH
TIME:  1 TO 3 PM
COST:  $20

Well here we are at the end of April -- where did it go?  I know I'm itching to teach you all a fun class -- three weeks without my happy stampers seems like a lifetime.  So here we go with two really fun and easy waterfall cards.

First up is a birthday card in A2 size (normal/regular size):

Since this is a technologically challenged day for me, you'll have to imagine how this works. I did a video but my photo library is not cooperating.  So use your imagination!

Second up is this A7 (European) size card (5x7) in landscape position:

Most of you have seen how these work and have signed up for this class.  I do, however, have ONE opening left.  So send me a quick email and I'll reserve this last seat for you!

As mentioned in my newsletter, we will continue with interactive cards through the month of May and partly into June.  There's some exciting stuff coming up -- keep watching!

Have a wonderful day.

Black Ice Technique!

DATE:  SUNDAY, APRIL 7TH
TIME:  1 TO 3 PM
COST:  $20

HAPPY APRIL!  Spring is ready to sprout -- the crocuses are up and I've seen some daffodils as well.  As winters go, this was an extremely mild one, but enough about the weather!  Let's get cooking with a fun technique that has been requested.  Black Ice -- it's soooo cool!

We'll be creating three fun cards on Sunday.  Traditionally, scene stamps go really well with this technique, but I had to test the waters and go for a flower card (it is, after all, April!).  So here are the three projects we'll be creating:

First up is a small version to get you started.  This is a top flap opening card (paper clip not included) and is a little difficult to photograph, but you get the idea.

Next is the flower version that I tried.  I do like it a lot!  This is one of Penny Black's wonderful sketched/painted flowers:

And lastly, a larger version of the first card using different scene stamps.  Scene stamps are great for just about any occasion for a card - they can say as little or as much as you want to convey to the recipient.

So this is Sunday's class.  Come have fun with this crazy group of ladies and enjoy learning a new technique.  Lots more coming up in the next few months including Waterfall cards, pop up cards and a new double slider card.  You won't want to miss these classes!

That's it for now -- see you Sunday!
