Purse, Pen and Card class

Purse and Card class

This is the Purse and Pen that holds the cards.

My class consists of the purse card with matching pen and 8 cards. I used a quick card handout that will be given to create the cards. My grandson, Dustin's favorite was the window card that has a window cut out in the center of the card. The class in Friday, February 17 at my house.

Labels Framelits

 One of the wonderful new products in the Occasions Mini catalog are the Label Framelits. This is an easel card using them and also the Apothecary Art set.

 Another new product is the Edgelits dies and Textured Impressions Embossing Folders Adorning Accents. Also the Bordering on Romance set that matches the framelits is used.

 Guess what this cute gift is made from.
           Toilet Paper Rolls!!!
Yes, by wrapping smashed toilet paper rolls with my Big Shot and covering them with the FREE designer series paper in the SAB catalog you can create cute albums. There are pull out inserts that I used for pictures of my grandchildren.

 Technique: Double Embossing
This was another card that we made at class. The background is covered in the debossed area with versamark and iridescent ice embossing powder. The second embossing is with the vintage wallpaper textured impressions folder called Vintage Wallpaper.

I really like the way this card turned out. We used the SAB FREE set called Elementary Elegance. The colors are soft suede, river rock. and chocolate chip with very vanilla.

Occasions Mini Catalog Kreations

 This card uses the Edgelits and Bordering on Romance set. I also used the oval  Designer Frame.  I used some of the paisley petals dsp that I had.

 This card is cased from one by Connie Babbert. I used the Hello Doily background stamp with versamark and a mixture of white embossing powder and Iridescent Ice on the background of Pool party. The set is  Bordering on Romance. The colors are Pool Party, Blushing Bride and Soft Suede.

Telescoping Card

 I LOVE the new FRAMELITS!!!  These are so great to create a telescoped card like the one I made today. With the various sizes of the Heart Framelits, you can take one image and stamp it several times, color all, then cut into various sizes. Each size is popped up with a dimensional to create the Telescoped card.

The set is the Take It to Heart set. I really like the banner that is in the set also. I used a mini glue dot to adhere just the ends to the banner so it pops up also.

The background is the wonderful Vintage Wallpaper background embossing folder. This is a very quick and beautiful card to make.

My next class will highlight the framelit and edgelit dies. "I sure hope I get my edgelits before class time also. If not, we will definitly use the Label and Heart Framelits!!

Next class is Monday night, Jan. 23 and Tuesday, Jan. 24. Don't forget to RSVP!!  Book your party  now because the biggest sale of the year:SALE-A-BRATION starts next week too.

Valentine's Ideas for You

I am lovin' this P.S. I Love You set. It has so many wonderful stamps that can be used for a variety of cards and gifts for your special someone for Valentine's Day. The strawberry card was inked with markers and the bottom has Crystal Effects to appear like the Chocolate is Yummy and shiny. The strawberry's top has RED Dazzling Details which is NEW and so cute on the strawberries.

This cute little Triangle Box is a pattern  that is so easy to create.
1. Cut cardstock to 4 1/4" x 11". Then trim to 4 1/4" x 9". Keep the other piece for the small card. Score at 4 1/4" and fold in half.
2. Open back up flat.  Find the midpoint of the 4 1/4" which is 2 1/8" and make a small mark on each end.
3. Using my Simply Scoring  board. I scored a line from the 2 1/8" to the middle scored line on the end of the line. If the cardstock is vertical, it looks like a line from the midpoint to the right edge at the center fold. Do the same on the other side from midpoint to side. Turn around and do the same on the other end. Score well and fold. Punch a 1/8" or 1/4" circle punch on the ends that fold on both sides. Then thread a ribbon through the holes.  Decorate as you desire.

The last idea uses the background stamp called Tool Shed. I LOVE this stamp because it is awesome for a do-it-yourselfer who loves tools. I used the new Heart Framelits to cute the hearts.
