Sept 1st Cards

I don't know why, but I'm in a collage sort of mood lately. So, here they are. Stamped and pieced.

Cards

So I didn't get a stamp set for me like the one I got for you. Why, I can't remember. So I used some other ones instead. It is pretty simple.

This one I embossed with a snowflake Cuttlebug folder. Then I added some paper and the snowflake is die cut from felt. I am going to use this one for a card class I'm doing in November.

Christmas

My favorite cards to make are Christmas cards. I am teaching a class in November for Enrichment that will be Christmas cards. I need some super cute, but very cost friendly and not too intricate ideas for this class. Something that people can replicate easily and doesn't break the bank. This last card class I did was so time consuming. I had 30 kits of 5 cards each and I spent at least 20 hours putting the kits together! Hopefully you have some great ideas!

Back at It!

For September I want to do FALL (of course using the cute new stamps you mailed me!) It'll give me a change to break them in.

My Cards

I hope you will forgive me on the tri-fold card. I know how much you like fall, and I received this card in a swap a long time ago. I think it is fun and totally cute, but I didn't make it. Sorry! I liked the brown and turquoise. I stamped the flourishes. And added the ribbon. Very simple but elegant. As for February 15, lets do something distressed. Like use sandpaper or something to rough it up and make it look distressed. Also inks work great. I have a cool chisel tool that has a grinding tip. Just make something on the card a little distressed. Good luck!

Feb 1st Cards - Jenn

This is my tri-fold card. I just used DCWV paper and random ribbon from Michaels. I sewed around the edges of the card and the middle circle, glued everything down and voila.

This is my turquise and brown card - I did it vintage style...same as the last card i sent, I think. But I wasn't feeling very creative. Sorry. But I do think that it's super cute! Either color (the pink or the blue).


February 15th Theme - St. Patricks Day! Anything Green or Clovery or Rainbow-ish. Whatever you want!

Feb Theme * Tri-Fold

I think it would be fun to do a card the is tri-fold. You know, two flaps that open up, one on each side...

Sorry I forgot to take pictures of the cards I mailed for the 15th. My brain is gone.

February 1st Theme

I think it would be cool to do the color combination of teal and brown. I changed the background on my blog and that is the color scheme. I think it is fun. Good luck!

My cards

I mailed them today! I had lots of fun making them last night. The first card is the valentine. It is just a sticker that I found in my stash that I matted a few times. The second is the spring card. It is fun because the base is a transparency sheet. The third is the background stamp. The last card is the vintage card. I sewed the lace on the red cardstock. The paperclip can be used as a bookmark. I didn't make it; I received it in a swap a long time ago. I haven't really known what to do with it until yesterday. I hope you like it, or know someone that reads you can give it to.

Jan. 15th Theme

I've been watching it snow all day wishing that I could be somewhere else, someplace very warm! So let's make some cards with bright, springy colors. Also include at least one flower. Just try to have all 4 cards mailed by the 15th.
