Valentine's Card from class

Here is another card we did for class. This was just last week. We did 2 cards and a little die cut basket. This was one of the cards.

The base card stock was metallic. It was kind of like foil covered. The white paper was my favorite Georgia-Pacific white cardstock from Walmart. The dies were from Spellbinders. The stamps were Stampin Up. The shading was done with Stampin Up ink as well.

I have returned!

After a long time away, I have some cards to post. I have been making things. Just not getting them posted here.  I have been teaching card making classes about every other week. I am excited because I am working with a local business owner to start having the classes at her place of business so we would have more room. 

Here is a a card we did for coloring. class. Lots of the people here have been getting copics and this was a chance to practice.  I LOVE this stamp. I got it at I Brake for Stamps. It is a Wee Stamp by Sylvia Zet.

I cut out the scallop circle and circle with nestibilities. The background paper came from Tuesday. It had pretty cooper metallic parts that don't show up in the scan.

Manly Birthday Cards

I am sooo behind on blogging and really tired of my work taking my whole life. Rumor has it that I will have an easier time in November and December. I am looking forward to it. So here are the cards we did at one of my prior card making classes. We are still having classes at my house about every other week.    

All of these stamps are from garage sales. The car set is my Stampin Up.  The other was an unmounted stamp. I don't know who makes it. There are different colors of distress ink on each card.

Spellbinders Bird Die

Aren't these cool? I saw on Becca's blog that she did a pop up card with this die. Check it out here http://www.amazingpapergrace.com/birdcage-popup-card-and-giftbox-part/ It is amazing. This is on my wish list so I can make one too!  What do you think?

Pop up wedding card

 I did a pop up wedding card. This is the pop up die from Stampin Up. I colored the cake with Copics. I got the wedding cake stamp at a garage sale . The Together Forever stamp is from a stampin Up set.

I stamped the flowers on the paper under the cake with a stamp from the same set as the Together Forever stamp.  I always think I can do these quickly but it is surprising how much time they take.
