BUSY – BUSY – BUSY!!! That seems to be the story of my life!
This week I’m preparing for my semi annual MEGA Stampin’ Class, which is coming up on Saturday, March 12th. I’ll be posting several cards a day between now and Thursday in preparation for those of you planning to attend. Enjoy today’s selection!
Several of these cards were featured at my Stamp A Stack this past weekend. If you missed it — I’ll be offering it again, Friday, March 25th at 9:30 AM. Send me an e-mail if you’re interested in attending.
I’ll be leaving this post at the top of my blog through March 5th — so if you’re checking back daily to see new cards, be sure to scroll down a bit to see the latest that I’ve added.
Card #1 — Happy Birthday Cupcake
This cute birthday card was made using the Create a Cupcake Stamp Set and the Build A Cupcake Punch from Stampin’ Up!’s Occasions Mini Catalog.
The colors are Real Red and Old Olive. I’ve accented with the Celebrations Designer Series Paper and Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon.
******************************
Card #2 — Vintage Vogue
This Birthday card can easily be turned in a Mother’s Day, Thank-you or whatever occasion you might need by changing the greeting. You may also choose to leave the greeting off until you have a need for the card, then you’ll know what to stamp on it!
The colors are Concord Crush and Pear Pizzaz. The Designer Series Paper is in our 6×6 Hostess Pack. It’s a little hard to see in the picture, the centers of the flowers have a little “bling”. I used the small Basic Rhinestones from Stampin’ Up!. If you choose to do this card for my Mega Stampin’ Class, you’ll have a variety in colors.
**********************************
Card #3 — Friend to Friend Owl Punch
I love our Owl Punch! There’s very little stamping on this card. It’s a lot of to put together….there are quite a few steps to building the owls, but so much fun!! Once again, there are lots of choices for the greeting inside the little word window.
The colors are Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Real Red.
******************************
Card #4 — Bliss (Butterfly)
This is a very elegant card and can be used for just about any occasion
….I saw a card similar to this somewhere (don’t remember where) This is my version. The colors are Basic Black, Whisper White and Real Red. The butterfly has a row of small pearls in the center. The stamped panel is framed using our Framed Tulips Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
*************************
Card #5 — Friends 24-7
This is a very nice card that I cased from another very talented demonstrator. It would be a nice masculine card by changing the “Friends” to a Happy Birthday, or Happy Father’s Day.
The colors are Crumb Cake and Marina Mist. A very quick and simple card to make!
