The Sitting Pretty stamp set is so much fun. That's all I can say. Benches, ferns and critters. What a great mix. Here's the two cards during my live class:

Create with Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop!

Welcome to a Saturday Blog Hop at Create with Connie & Mary. Our blog hop theme was a hard one for me this week. We are all featuring our favorite new designer paper from the Annual Catalog. Oh my, it's ALL beautiful but I had to pick one right? I went with the Garden Impressions Designer Paper. The colors are so vivid and vibrant. This is my card using one of the pattern sheets:

All my card needed was a little strip of the designer paper to add some beauty alongside the stamped sentiment layers. I used the Around The Corner stamp set and the image does exactly what the title implies...stamps around a corner:

I fussy-cut the two little birthday hats that I stamped using Coastal Cabana Ink on Coastal Cabana Cardstock and they both fit perfectly on the image that I stamped using Highland Heather Ink. Don't you just love our two new purples? The birthday hats were glued in place using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I love those too!

To complete my card, I added some Iridescent Sequins in the background and some Silver Baker's Twine on the edge of the designer paper. here are the measurements of my layers:

• Card Base: Bermuda Bay Cardstock 11" x 4-1/4". Score at 5-1/2".
• Layer #2: Coastal Cabana Cardstock 5-1/4" x 4".
• Layer #3: Whisper White Cardstock 5" x 3-3/4"
• Layer #4: Garden Impressions Designer Paper 5" x 1".

Card Supplies:

• Stamp Sets: Around The Corner
• Inks: Lovely Lipstick, Coastal Cabana, Highland Heather
• Cardstock: Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White
• Accessories: Iridescent Sequins, Silver Bakers Twine
• Tools: Paper Snips, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, Stampin' Dimensionals
• Designer Paper: Garden Impressions

Sheltering Tree Reflection Techniqe & Video and Twist Turn Card Fold & Video!

Hello and Happy Friday! I've got two projects and two videos for you today! Both videos are from two past Live Facebook Classes I held a few weeks ago. This first project uses the Reflection Technique with the Sheltering Tree stamp set:

I show you this technique in my video. I love how the reflection sits at an angle:

I even added the bicycle in there as a reflection too!

My next project features the Twist Turn Card Fold. Isn't this a neat card? Thanks to Rebecca Bullock who is part of my team and sent me a card with this fold that prompted me to make one!

This is the inside:

3D Thursday and FREE Project Sheet!

 

Good Morning and welcome to a new Thursday which means a new project from our weekly 3D Thursday team. This week, it's Twila's turn and she created this beautiful wreath just in time for the 4th of July:

I love that Twila created this in red, white & blue with a little touch of glimmer and SPARKLERS! How genius is that? Just don't light them on fire!

This is what the wreath looks like hung up on a door. Isn't it so festive and patriotic looking?

June Club Projects!

w

Good morning and I hope I will inspire you today with two projects from my June Clubs. The June Club was all about coloring this month. I showed the girls how to color with our Stampin' Write Markers on one card and our Stampin' Blends on the other card. Before I show you individual photo's, our club just complete a six month period and we are starting a new one from July to December. I need two more people to fill one of my clubs. What is a club?

• We gather once a month to create together. Local and non-locals are welcomed to join in. If you are not local, I mail you two to three projects that we create by mail.
• With a six-person club and a six-month period, each person gets to be hostess one month out of those six months.
• For your hostess month, you will earn Hostess Rewards on all sales.
• You can take outside orders to help with your Hostess month sales.
• You are eligible to earn Hostess sets from the catalog on your Hostess month.
• All that is required of you is a $25 order each month.

The first card uses the Lilypad Lake stamp set and coordinating Lakeside Framelits Dies:

I showed the girls how to add shading to the images with our Stampin' Blends markers:
