I have a beautiful card to share with you today, along with some product info that we talked about at my Spring Open House Party last Sunday (carried over from the Holiday Catalog) ... and ... the party winners!!! I had lots of winners, so keep scrolling down and enjoy today's post.
Here is a sneak peek at one of the cards we'll be making at our
April Scraps and Prayers class. It uses a technique called the Emboss Resist technique. Instead of doing the technique with ink, we'll be using
Brusho.
Adding a layer of Whisper White AND Basic Black behind the top layer really steps up the card.
I embossed the front of the envelope and the flap and then added
Brusho.
Here's the flap of the envelope:
What a fun card and I think it's really pretty. I intentionally left off any sentiment, so I could have endless options for how to use it when I need a card right away. It's ready for a nice note inside and off it goes for someone special to enjoy. You can add a sentiment before you send it if you want one. I cannot stress enough how much a card in the mail means. We all need to step up our efforts of sending cards once we make them. Let's spread the joy!

The
Wonderful Romance stamps set is still available, but the coordinating thinlits are NOT. I checked with our home office and
Stampin' Up! told me they'd had some issues with their supplier and had now depleted their inventory and could not get any more of the thinlits. So sorry. They were pretty.

I enjoyed reading about which cards or projects inspired people the most and when they shared which improvements/changes they liked best in my 'new' studio. Most popular were the lighting, the displays (spread throughout the room), the new paint color, and the openness. Thanks! I agree! I love that we have more room ... and we seem to need it, as we continue to grow our numbers.
The party orders went in at the end of the day on March 19. I'll let you know when they get here and I get them all sorted for you. YOUR PRIZES WILL BE IN WITH YOUR ORDERS.
UP NEXT:
