August Technique Class Thursday, August 5th at 10:00 a.m. or 6:30 p.m.

Up first for August is this gift card holder using the Greenhouse Gala designer series paper and the Friends Never Fad Stamp set....You can change the sentiment to a wedding or baby one if you'd like.  I love the new Pear Pizzazz In Color with matching poly ribbon. (CASE of my friend Stacy McCain for the paper choice and colors as well as the reminder of this style of gift card holder)

This later gator (faux crocodile/alligator) card would be perfect for a bon voyage card, for some retirement celebrations, or just a silly thinking of you. (For a thinking of you, I'd probably write "Hopefully sooner rather than later")

Next up is a DIY embossing folder (first done by Dawn Olchefske)  This card also features some markers to stamp, sponging and faux Rock N Roll.

Finally, we have this distressed technique cowboy card.  We'll also watercolor on Very Vanilla on this card. (In September we will watercolor on Stampin' Up!'s watercolor paper.)

Textures Real and Faux July Technique Class-- July 1 at 9:30 a.m. or 6:30 p.m.

Retiring Colors Focused Cards

First is this floral card using the lovely Watercolor Trio stamp set. This set is so wonderful because it has versatile florals and three very useful sentiments.
 

This card was inspired by a fun and funky bag I saw at the Brighton store:

This card is so simple and fresh. It was inspired by a card by Cindy Coutts.

This soft card has the pretty new Square Lattice Embossing Folder as the background.

April 1 at 9:30 a.m. or 6:30 p.m. April $10 Technique Class

We'll make these projects on Thursday, April 1. I hope you can make it!

Baby Wipe Stripe (You may choose either the Happy Birthday card or the Very Thankful Card, but the flower will be the style shown in the first/Top Note die card.)

Chocolate Bar Holder

Transparency Butterfly Card

The final offering is this 3-dimensional rose embellished photo easel card...It is easier than it looks and mostly just requires a little fussing.

Scrapbook Class Thursday, March 25 at 6:30 p.m. or Saturday, March 27 at 10:00 a.m.

My Spring Garden Scrapbook Class is available in two color schemes (Regal Rose or Brocade Blue with Certainly Celery and Kraft cardstock for more masculine picture friendly version) and has a lot of options for you....The class is $10 for the two double page layouts as shown below.

I plan to scrap some pictures of my Roses and other Spring flowers, but EASTER SUNDAY would also fit as a title in the exact same space if you choose. Perhaps you wouldn't want to include the little flower embellishments? You can either use the Poppin' Pastels technique (shown on page #1, but not on the side borders in page #2) or leave the Versamarked Very Vintage wheel as a watermark look.  You could also use the Textured Wheel instead for no butterfliesand swirls....just a textured look.

The stamps placed on the page below show an option for adding even more Bloomin' Beautiful (the Stampin' Up! set name) accents to your pages.  Be sure to click on the photographs for a larger picture.  (I have to not crop the pictures so that blogger will not TURN the pictures sideways--sorry about the extraneous articles in the pictures.)
