June Card Class

So it has been a long time since I've posted anything....school had a hectic ending and then I've been out of town a few times as soon as school was over.  I'm hoping to post more often - but I'm going to be moving soon too so no gurantee anything will slow down.

We are having Card Class June 30th at McAlister's Deli in Tyler at 6:30.  It is just $7 (we'll make 3 cards) and if you bring a friend it is 2 for $10.

Here are samples of the cards we'll make:

 This one is a sympathy card and has a few options for wording (on the outside and inside).  I really love the tree that comes with this set.

This one is inspired by 4th of July colors.  The petals are all from the Build A Blossom punch set...and then the red is sponged.

This is my FAVORITE one - it is made with a set that is retiring at the end of the month called "Puns from the Past."  It is hard to see but it's a cheese grater and it says "grateful for you." : )

If you're interested in coming to my card class, hosting a workshop or placing an order just call me - or leave a comment.

Chocolate Card!!!

Wouldn't this be a fun token of appreciation for a friend!  It holds a regular size Hershey's bar.  Come make it at my card class next Thursday.

I got inspiration for this card from this blog.


The sentiment says, "All you need in life is a friend who has chocolate...I'm that friend."

Cards for Class

Here are a couple of cards I have been working on for my card class coming up next week:

 This card was designed with Mother's Day in mind.  It says, "Happy Mother's Day," on the inside, or you can choose from other sentiments.

Just a simple birthday card too!  I love the button embellishments : )

The other card is still TBD (to be designed)....look for it Friday, I am off that day!!!

50 Years

I am working on making an invitation for a small get together we will be having this summer to celebrate my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary.  Here are some pictures I am working with to put on the invitation.  I thought they were really cute so I wanted to share.

 This is at their rehearsal dinner.

This was taken in December after they were married in June of 1961.

I am planning on CASEing this card, with a few alterations.  CASE stands for Copy And Share Everything - stampers are very good at this.

Welcome Baby Cards!!!

It seems like everyone I know is having babies!!!!  Here are some baby cards I have made recently:

 I have shared this card before, but I love the onesies - they are from Slice of Life - but the only way to get that set is to host a workshop between now and April 30th - sign up now!!!

I LOVE this card!  Change up the colors and it works for a baby boy too!  The stamp set is called Fun & Fast Notes- it comes in the starter kit, it has 8 stamps that are perfect for most occasions.  I also used glimmer brads (Occasions mini - $4.95) for the wheels!!!  So fun and so easy!

And now - my new favorite!!!!  It is a diaper....with ruffles on the back!!!

I CASE'd this from my upline - click here to see her version (with a template)!

I used the Eyelet Border a lot on this one - I love that punch!!!  I also used the Top Note Die as the insert for the card - that die is so versatile!!!

If you are interested in making or buying baby cards, I would love to help!

Personalized Luggage Tags

Look at this fabulous luggage tag I made at a class my upline offered!  I love it....and it was soooo easy too!  Here are directions from her blog. 

Here is the back side - I had to use pink somewhere!!
