Black and White and A Touch of Cherry Cobbler

Today's card is actually a sneak peek at one of the cards we'll be making at my Friday Night Cards class this Friday, July 12.  We'll be making 6 beautiful cards, with envelopes included.  If you get a friend to sign up for the class, too, you both will get to make a bonus card!!!  Adhesive is now included in the class, so all you need to bring is YOU!

I am totally in love with our new Modern Medley Designer papers.  You can do so much with them.

The In Color dahlia is attached with Liquid Tombow adhesive.  I only used 1/2 of the doily, so this card is efficient in its use of product.

The kids sing in church today, so that will be fun.  Chris and Jenn are working really hard to get all moved into their new house.  The boys are excited, but confused, at all that is going on right now.  They cheer big time each time they regain access to a 'new' box of toys.

This will be a busy week with my 2 classes.  The boys have Bible School all week, so I will be using my quiet time to work like crazy in my studio.  I need to finish the cards for Friday night and I have some new things I'm working on for my Prairie Treasures booth at the Root Cellar.

Have a great day. Today is a good day to enjoy some family time.

World Treasures

There's a stamp set in our new catalog that I just love.  It's called World Treasures.
Here's a little card I made with it.

I added dahlias to the flowers.  My colors are summer starfruit, gumball green, midnight muse and raspberry ripple -- 4 of our new In Colors.  The ribbon is a new one to go with these colors, too.  It's a stitched satin ribbon.
The little framelit works perfectly to cut out the text.
I stamped a coordinating envelope for my card.
Come back for my next post where I'll be revisiting the Comfort Cafe DSP.

Reason to Smile, Sample 2

Here's another card I made using the Reason to Smile stamp set.

I used summer starfruit, midnight muse and soft suede CS.  To add texture, I layered the focal piece using 3 graduated sizes of framelits.  I also used 2 different embossing folders to add texture to the background.
The text is from the Word Play stamp set.  I stamped images in the background of the text piece, for added interest.
I added a summer starfruit dahlia to the center of one of the flowers and a sprig of 2 stitched satin ribbons for the finishing touches.
