A Project from our Team Meeting + Class Info

Here's another project we made at our Team Meeting:

The gingham check effect is done by inking the stripes embossing folder with a brayer and using  2 colors of ink.  It's easiest to have 2 folders - 1 per ink color - to do this project.

I love this little vase from the Bright Blossoms stamp set!  You can get the stamp set, the Summer Smooches stencil, brads and DSP during the month of April only.  After that, the brads and stencil are gone and you won't see the other products until June!

Don't forget about my Friday 3-4-5 class this Friday, April 20.
It's starting to fill up fast, so be sure to sign up soon!  You can make 3, 6 or 9 cards at '3 cards for $5.'  It's a great way to have a little evening out with your friends and go home with some fun, new cards.  Envelopes are included.  Pay to register by April 19!!!

Summer Smooches

Well, I've redone my 'photo shoot' area and hope it works better.  I've really had a time of it, trying to get the best shots possible so I can share them with you.

After a busy day yesterday with my boys, including a trip to the Children's Museum and a Team Meeting, I'm ready to share a project with you.

This is one of the cards we made at my Team Meeting.  It's done with an Island Indigo card base.

The other colors are Rich Razzleberry, Tangerine Tango and Lucky Limeade.  The tag (Tag punch) is stamped with the You're a Gem stamp set.  We stamped off to stamp the flowers on the tag.

Here's the stencil we used for the background strip.  (We used the stencil on the left.)  As you can see, it comes with TWO pieces, so you have lots of possibilities for how you can use them.  The little flowers were punched with the Boho Blossoms punch and then we added a pearl accent to the center of each.  We used the Tasteful Trims die for the scallop border and added Rich Razzleberry ribbon to the other side of the stenciled background piece.  

After stenciling, we stamped little flowers, using the Bright Blossoms stamp set.

Important info:

The Summer Smooches products are available for April only.

On June 1, part of the products will again be available --- in the new Catalog --- but the fabric brads and stencils will retire.  Order them before the end of April, so you don't lose out!!!

Next classes:

April 20:  Friday 3-4-5 --- 

Come and make 3 cards for $5.  Stay a while longer and make 6 cards for $10. --- or 9 cards for $15.  There will be a variety of choices available, so come and join the fun!  Pay $5. to register on or before April 18.  You can pay for additional sets once you're here.  If you place an order at the time of the class, you can make 3 cards for FREE.  We'll take the fee off your order:)

April 21:  Saturday Brunch Bunch ---  

We're making beautiful Spring/Summer wreaths.  You will need to bring your Simply Scored tool with you.  I have decided to include the wreath base in the price of the class.  If you have already purchased the Simply Scored tool from me, order the diagonal plate and take the class for 1/2 price!!!  If you have not ordered the Simply Scored tool, order it before the class and take the class for 1/2 price!!!  In one of my next posts, I'll share with you your choices for DSP for your wreath.  They are going to be really pretty!!!

I hope to see you at a class soon.
