Madison Ave. Flowers

Stampin' Up does such a great job making coordinating products.  It's what made me fall in love with their product and decide to be a demo.  It's so much fun!  Won't you join me?  The starter kit is only $99 now until March 22nd.  You can pick anything out of the catalogs up to $156.50 with no shipping.
 The card above will be made in all my clubs in March.  This card was CASED from Michelle Weber.  Until I saw her card I didn't realize the flower shape was the same shape as the smallest Floral frames Framelits.  We used the itty bitty punch pack 4 petal punch to fill in the stamped border inside the card.

Upcoming Class March 20th at Canal Street during Scrapbooking

Nancy and I will be having a class at our scrapbooking group for scrapbooking friends.  If you would like to sign up talk to Nancy or I.  The class is $12 for 4 cards.  I will be teaching this card and another Easter card.  This card would work well for Easter or sympathy.  I CASEd this card from Ann Marques on Stampin' Connections.  She used it for a Sympathy card.  Her's had God Bless you stamped on it and a large rhinestone in the center of the cross.  I used a small pearl.  We will stamp Easter Blessings inside or a sympathy sentiment.  I hope you will join us. 

Let's Fly Away

My neighbor Garnette asked me to search for some ideas for a dinoroar card.  I saw this cute card on Stampin' Connections with the pteradactyl flying inside the card.  I had to give this card design a try.  There went 2 hours of my evening.  Sometimes I let a project take me in totally and time just gets away from me.  It was fun though.

Carrie's Cards from Feb. 28th Canal Street Class

The class favorite of my cards was the blue jean card above.  The tricks to assemble are to attach the bakers twine on the back with demensionals a little tighter than shown.  Pop up the mat with demensionals.  Place the jeans over the line with a dimensional.  Pull down slightly on the line.  The middle jean was stamped off to get that acid washed look.  We used rhinestones, a punched flower, and a bakers twine knot to decorate the jeans.

Nancy's Cards from February 28, 2013

Here's 2 great cards that Nancy prepared for Canal Street classes on February 28th.  She used Sale-A-Bration sets on both.  My favorite is the top card.  I love the colors in the Sycamore Street Designer series Papers used on the bottom card with matching ribbon.  Place an order today of $50 or more and receive free Sale-A-Bration products.
