Dec. 1 Theme

Last Saturday we were at Doug's aunt's house and she brought out this large bag of stuff "from a long time ago." All kinds of ribbon and trims and lots of vintage things. So I was thinking I need to use them. The card itself doesn't have to look vintage, but use something vintage on it. She had lots of teeny rick rack in a pack that said 10 cents. It was unopened! I'm excited to use it. Hopefully you have something cool you could use.

Background stamps. I just bought three new ones and haven't used them yet. I think it would be fun to do something with the background stamped and then whatever you want in the foreground.

This picture has the worst lighting I could have used, but here they are. The top one is varying shades of yellow. Kinda cute I thought. and the bottom one turned out more like a 1st graders cut and paste project.. but it was fun anyways.

Nov. 15 Cards

I made my cards last night and mailed them this morning. I wasn't for sure what you wanted on the paper peicing. I've never done that before. So I made something. Do any of my cards come to you postage due? I don't know if you can read the yellow card it says"happy day".

I know I'm super late posting this. I've been really busy trying to get my classes together I'm going to teach. For this weekend to send I think we should do a monochromatic card. The only color you can use on the card is yellow. You can use as many shades of yellow, but only yellow. Have fun!

Paper Piecing. You know how you do it when making quilts? Lets try to get that look from paper piecing on cards. It might be tough, but I think I'm up for the challenge. Here are two examples:

It can be a design of shapes and simple, or more intricate like the leaves one. GOOD LUCK.

Here are my cards. I know we said a variety, but I didn't get a variety made. But I did make 9 on one sheet so I mailed all nine. I like the red with the snowflakes. I think that my Christmas cards this year with be red and green snowflakes. I'm getting the ideas flowing. The stamps are all studio g. They aren't as cute as yours, but I hope they work for you.
