Card Class Cards

Hey, everyone!

I have so much fun when I have card classes in my home! We created 4 cards and I wanted to share them with you today.
This "Get Well Soon" card was created using Premium White cardstock from TAC. It measure 4¼" x 8½" and is scored at 4¼" with my Scor-Pal. The piece of Willoughby cardstock measures 3¾" square. The tent topper is created using two scallop punches, the square from the Sweet Goodies is stamped with Raw Sienna ink and the sentiment is from Trendy Greetings and stamped in Burnt Sienna ink. I used my white gel pen for the dots on the scallops. The base is Premium White cardstock.

I thought a colorful card like this would be great for sending a note of encouragement to someone who may need cheered up! The stamp set is Happy Day from TAC. I stamped the image in Burnt Umber, then colored with my Tombow Brights markers, Stardust Glittering Gel Pens, and Souffle Pens. The paper is Tutti Frutti designer paper, green cardstock and Premium White cardstock. The sentiment is stamped in Jardin Moss. The card measures 4¼" x 11" and scored at 5½" with my Scor-Pal.

This is one of two non-traditional Christmas cards we made. This square card measures 10" x 5½" and scored at 5½" with my Scor-Pal. The base is Premium White cardstock. The designer paper is our new double-sided More Mimi. The layers are brown, green and Premium White cardstock. The snowflakes were stamped in Belle Rose ink, with Ornamental Snowflakes. The sentiment is a PWP stamp that you can get for only $2.95 and is stamped in Burnt Umber.

When I think of Christmas cards, I really don't think of black, but this works! I really like the black and white contrast with the pop of Reflection Blue ink! The snowflakes were created with a stamp from the Circle Sampler stamp set. The sentiment is from Trendy Greetings. So very fun!! This card measures 11" x 4½" and scored at 5½" with my Scor-Pal. My next card class is Thursday, November 12. If you are unable to make it, you can always purchase the card class kits for only $10 (plus s/h if required). The images will already be stamped for you if you order a kit. Be sure to let me know you're coming so I can have your card kits ready. Feel free to bring a friend! The more the merrier! LOL

Hugs,

Double Challenge

Hey, everyone!

I am sorry I didn't get a chance to post anything for my StampTACular Tuesday yesterday! This is the first chance I have had to post anything on my blog! I wanted to share a few thank you cards I made for some really great ladies who had a FunShop with me in February! I hope you enjoy them!
This card features two of the stamps in the GOOD TIMBER (T-2700) stamp set. I used Viridian Leaf Palette ink (TT-213) and Burnt Umber Palette ink (TT-218) for the stamps. I sponged Reflection Blue Palette ink (TT-205) for the sky. The Thank You sentiment (TG-2972) is a free GWP stamp with any $30 purchase.

I just love this parrot from the Happy Day stamp set (T2736)! It's so fun to color. I used Noir Palette ink (TT-220) to stamp the image. I used Viridian Leaf Palette ink (TT-213) to stamp the sentiment (TG-2972). The sky is sponged with Reflection Blue (TT-205). I punched the image out using my Clever Lever Super Jumbo Circle Punch (D-73). The scalloped circle was punched with my Clever Lever Mega Scalloped Punch (D-700).

The sentiment (TG-2972) is stamped in L'Amour Red ink (TT-195). The image is from the Ice Cream stamp set (T-2630). I used Noir (TT-220) to stamp the girl out. I paper pieced the feet, arm and face. My gray tombow marker (F-07) gives a little hint of shadow.

This is the final Thank You (TG-2972) card I made. I stamped the flower and sentiment in L'Amour Red ink (TT-195) and the stem was stamped using Viridian Leaf (TT-213). I added Prisma Glitter (A-287) to the center of the flower.

These were really fun to make! I hope this gives you ideas on how to use the Gift With Purchase stamps you may have received for your $30 purchases. I have one more challenge to share with you today...the Scripture Challenge!

This week, the word is PEACE. I had fun with this challenge!! When I think of peace in terms of colors, I think of blues! I love blue and I just sort of put that together with the feelings I get when I am at peace!

My journaling reads:

Many times in my life, I have heard the word "peace" without truly understanding it's meaning. Sometimes I thought peace meant not fighting, or something my mother wished she had more of...as in peace and quiet. Peace was a symbol to be drawn on notebooks and displayed with two fingers. As I got older, I found out that peace is more than that. It's the feeling you cannot explain when God helps me make a difficult decision. It's the ability to be so heart-sick with grief that I don't know how I'll make it through another moment and then I suddenly feel God's presence and I know it will all be alright. As a mother and wife, daughter and friend, I realize peace is something to be sought after like a precious treasure and then once it's found, it's to be shared and used again and again. I also know that I have never known peace like the peace that comes from the Prince of Peace!

I hope you will enjoy your day!! There's more to share soon! Be sure you stop by Christina's blog to see what she is sharing...and Amber's too.
