June Card classes

 I am trying something different this month.  Many of the cards will have backgrounds with Distress Dioxide Inks.

The first one is what ever color you want with a full card black cardstock front.

This next set is background dioxide inks and it has water spray on it for a slightly different texture.  You can choose from holographic paper to glitter paper.  There are 4 different stamp sets you can choose from to have on the card.  You can also stamp some of the images inside and choose an inside sentiment as well.  Don't forget you can stamp on the envelopes too.

Being so close to July 4th, I decided we would still have time to do a patriotic card to send.  This is a shaker star card.

The last card is from the Strawberry mice set and uses splatter for the background.  There are other mice you can choose from as well as different sayings. 

If you are interested in coming to classes, let me know.  Have a scrapping good day.

Catching up on card kits

 I have been busy doing organization on my room and supplies.  When a new catalog or special comes out, I get the card kit so I can make samples and show you all how great they are so you can get them while they are still available.  What happens is life.  The order comes in and I am busy and I put them away in a safe place and the catalog or special comes and goes and I have no idea where they are.  For the past few days I have been trying to catch up on some of the kits.

Are we there yet

As of my posting, Are we there yet and Cosette are still available from my website.   However, if you go to the website and go to MORE, you will find the workshop guides and you can use up some of the stash you have and still make beautiful cards.  My Dream Maker cards were a little different because I didn't have the stamp set required.  You can download the guides for scrapbook pages and for cards.  You can see what each card needs and do just one style of card if you wish.  Have fun catching up on your work! 

dream Maker Album

 May is National Scrapbooking Month and there is a great special going on and you are in luck! This special will go until June 30 , 2023 or until supplies are gone.  I am working on the 6x8 album but changing it.  I am posting the pages I have done.  This can hopefully inspire you to make an album and make the changes you need for your photos. Have fun and give it a try.  This paper is ready to be used for any occasion!

Making cards

 I have tried a new pattern and really love it.  I need to make about 12 cards every so often for several groups that I belong to.  There is a pattern to make 15 different cards and here is the pattern to make 7 which I did twice.  #CDTChallnege #cdtonesheetwondershallenge 

March cards

The March card class is here.  I am a little late in putting them out as I realized we needed to do Easter cards this month.  Close To My Heart has had some spectacular sales but that means they have been a bit behind in getting order filled and out.  There have also been some supply issues.  There were requests for birthday cards more geared toward men.  

I have been delighted to be part of the Creative Design group.  I have learned so much from the designers.  I have used the re-inker and shimmer brush for sparkly coloring as well as the white Opal liquid pearl and re-inker with a water brush. It is hard to see it in the photos but there is sparkle all over.

Monday the 13th at 6pm we meet at the First United Methodist Church in Baraboo and Tuesday March 14th at Pizza Ranch in Portage eating at 12:30.  Let me know as soon as possible what cards you want to do and if there are some you know in the time constraints you can't get to, let me know what ones you want me to carry over for April.  See you there.

 

Christmas Cards

 Because life happens, I wasn't able to do the November Classes.  We are doing the Christmas classes on the 12, 13 and 14 of December.  January is planned for January 23, 24, 25.  There will be lots of snowflakes and snow people on the cards and you can use whatever sentiments you wish.

Here are the Christmas Cards:
