My Christmas Crew Card Class
Tonight is the first of 3 in-person card classes, spending time with the Christmas Crew! I just love these characters and I've affectionately named them Oscar (the snowman), Jeremiah (the reindeer), and Lou (the bear)! Where did I get these names from?! Beats me! They just spoke to me! These are the 4 cards you'll be making (I'll have details on them later this week). We're also making a cute 3D little treat box. Again, more on these cards later! Sign up for my in-person classes here. I have 3...
More “SPOOKTACULAR” Halloween!
Well, I'm back with another card, but I need to tell you that I improved on it in my card class on Thursday night! So ... if you watched last week's YouTube (published yesterday), "they" don't know the secret, but you will! These are super-easy cards, especially if you can make simple cuts following my directions! I made 3 cards, all using the "oh-so-fun" Spooktacular DSP. Yes, I realized just before my FB live that the paper is sold out. If you place an order in my store, I'll send you a card...
Treats, No Tricks Halloween Cards
Well, I realized it's been way too long and that has certainly not been a treat for you! I make cards constantly, and the best way to let you know is to show you the cards! Last week was my Halloween cards and treats class. Check out one of my cards that I shared on the FB Live. I just love this card! This card was a re-make of Gail Ellis's Pretty Poinsettia cards (I'll share my favorite card that I tweaked for class in an upcoming post!). The easel card was re-made using a combination of the...
Memorable Blooms in Yellow!
Well, a couple of days late but I'm back with my favorite card in this 3 part series featuring the Memorable Blooms bundle. I'm going to let you decide which is your favorite -- they're both lovely! There almost exactly the same: The card on the right was my original card -- I started with a Basic White thick card base and adhered the Delightful Floral yellow flowers vellum to it. The top layer is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White CS, diecut with the hexagon from the Memorable Blooms dies,...
Memorable Blooms
Last night I did my FB live with the Memorable Blooms cards. What a fun bundle! I realized two things early on -- for the diecut hexagon with the inlaid pattern, you need to cut both the outer hexagon plus the "fancy die within" at the same time for best results (and to have an independently standing hexagon! The 2nd thing I discovered is ... adhesive sheets are your friend with this fancy die! I showed 3 different patterns -- the front card uses the hexagon die, cut out of the top layer. If...
