New Cards for the Shop...

Oldest daughter and I went to card class last night, and we made some really nice cards for the new shop....

Cathy made this beautiful Easter card that we think we will duplicate for Mothers day as well.


Cathy also made this Bliss card...this Bliss set is so classy and no matter how you use it the cards always look great!

I made this "Just for You" card...I love the color combinations.


I also made this Springtime Smiles card...I keep thinking I do not want to buy this stamp set, but this lil girl is so adorable I think I can no longer resist.


We both made Easter Basket cards...I love the polka dot texture in the background, and how cute is this lil chickee?!




We also both made this Southern Belle...which turned out to be our fave for the night...how gorgeous is she!!


I think we will have a great starting selction to fill our card rack!

More Cards...

Yes it was another great day of card making class...and I really think these are the best I have done so far.

This first one is so pretty with its Tiffany Blue hue, and texutrized vellum decorated with petite pearls and then laid over the stamped butterfly images to soften the look makes this birthday card a special one to give.

This thank you card is a great way to say thanks! Paired with a flowering plant with room to write a personlized note inside will brighten anyones day.


How fun is this lil guy!! Great for a boy or a man!


Yes of course...there is yet another owl. How adorable is this get well nurse owl??!! Sure to perk someone up who is feeling under the weather.

Card Making Class Take 2

We had card making class again. I loved it and had fun, but 6:30 - 10pm makes it so late for me, I start to really tire by the last card.

Here was the first card.....

A lot of cut outs and a little busy, but I think it works nicely together making it a very cute card. There is even a little heart button glued onto the heart at the top right, and a dot of bling in the O of Love.


This card is the opposite of the above, a very simple card, yet still a very cute card. The hole making to weave the ribbon through I think will take work to get even, I suggest starting at the middle, not an edge like I was shown, that way it should be more evenly woven across.



This glittery love card was my least favorite to make. I think it looks great and it was a lot of fun....until the glitter part. I am not a fan of glitter....and we had it everywhere! But thankfully the end result is great!


This was the last card I made, I was getting pretty tired by now....but this ended up being my favorite card, so I am glad it ended up being the last, I really enjoyed making this one and think it is the cutest of the bunch! You stamp the little girl and then with these special water color markers using your ink pad you color her in. And I love the texture on the heart behind her.


Loads of fun!! My friend will be having her own first card making day in a couple more weeks....cant wait for more card making fun!
