March Card Class Cards

Hey, everyone!!


I wanted to share some of the cards with you that we created at my card class this month. I hope they inspire you to make something fun, too!

This is the card I already shared earlier that Christina inspired me to make! One of the ladies in the class actually used the HAPPY BIRTHDAY sentiment from the Celebration Time Stamp set and created this card for her son! This is a very versatile style card, especially with these colors! The scalloped circle is from the More Mimi paper collection, which is Buy One, Get One FREE until the end of this month! So the scallop is reversible!

I just love this spinner card. I used VersaMark to stamp the ladybugs onto the red paper for a watermark effect. I stamped another one of the ladybugs from the Squiggle Ladybugs stamp set and cut it out. This is a fun card to play with. I added shimmer to the sentiment and ladybugs with my stardust glitter gel pens.

I had never used the Toodle Loo paper collection from TAC before this class. I used a sketch from the TAC catalog and from over at PaperWings to create this fun card! It features all the kewl patterns from this designer paper. There are lions, monkeys and elephants that were so fun to punch out and share with the class. The sentiment is a PWP stamp and only $2.95 for a set of 4 sentiments! Great deal!
This is a really sweet card to make for ANYONE! Not just for kids! I can see this being a fun card for baby showers, co-workers, neighbors, friends, family...really ANYONE! I love how quick it was to make and how easy! Check out the chick's wings...that is yellow Fun Flock! I love how soft the wings are!

Open up the card for a sparkly Easter greeting and a package of Skittles! These would be fun to take to school, too! I just love that cute skateboarding bunny on the package!

Thanks for hanging out with me today and seeing what new and fun things we've been creating! Hope you can make it to the next class, April 19, at 2 p.m.!

February Card Class

Hey, everyone!

Wednesday was my monthly card class and we had a lot of fun!! I wanted to share those projects with you today! First of all this month ends the Hostess Club. It typically runs for three months but only two signed up and managed to get enough orders to fulfill their commitments. I created some "thank you" notes and gifts for Karen and Donna. The paper is Miss Moxie and the sentiment is from The Angel Company's stamp set Build A Flower.
These are the projects we made in class.

This Window Box Treat Holder was requested by June L. She wanted to learn how to make these. I was so busy that I didn't get a chance to make the marshmallow pops for everyone but I shared the links with them so they can make them and they were glad to have that information! Julie Griffith from Paper Jewels is the creator of this sweet project. You can find out more by visiting her website here.

I used the Hip Hop Designer paper for the front of the window box. The candy and sentiment box are both from the TAC stamp set Sweet Goodies. The scalloped squares are punches from TAC.

Donna was this month's hostess and she saw a flower pot card I had made some time ago. She wanted to make one, too, so this is what I came up with!

The "flower pot" is sponged in Cognac Palette Hybrid Ink, the flowers are created with the Cricut. I saw Laurie W.'s post here and loved how she left a point on each petal. I thought it was such a unique look. So I attempted to something similar here but in hopes of turning green flowers into green leaves! The sentiment is brand new from The Angel Company in our new Serendipity Street. It's called Dream Come True and it's only $5.95 for 4 sentiments! LOVE THAT!

I had never made an easel card before but I have seen them all over the place lately! I wanted to use the bumblebee from this really fun Hostess Level A stamp set called Swirled Spring Life from TAC. I went with a black and yellow color scheme to go with the bumblebee. The Thinking of You sentiment and octagon shapes are from my Cricut. The white and black squares are as well. Talk about easy work for making kits!! Press a button and watch it work for you with perfect lines everytime! I used my clear stardust glitter gel pen for a shimmery effect and the shape of the "stopper" on the card is reflective of a honeycomb! I really love this card. The "hello" also shimmers and it is from the Trendy Greetings stamp set.

Last, but certainly not least, is this sweet little chick card! Isn't this image adorable? It is also brand new from Serendipity Street. This stamp set is called Easter Chicks. You get 7 images including a sentiment for only $10.95!! I used my Tombow Brights and Stardust Glitter Gel Pens to color him in. I outlined him with my Gray Tombow marker. I just love the way it adds some dimension. The paper is Angelee. I think it goes so well with the colors of the egg. The white gel pen I used for faux stitiching and doodle dots ties it all together! I created this card from this sketch. You might remember I used it for this card, too. Hope you will let me, or your Angel if you have one, know if there is anything we can do for you! Happy crafting and don't forget to go HERE for my drawing! The winner will be announced Monday, March 8, 2010.
