Lots of Cards

Well, it has been a little while since I have made time to post. I was busy with workshops, a weekend away with my wonderful husband and getting a new job. The new job is actually at the same school I have been at for the last 6 and a half years but in a new capacity. I will be an Instructional Paraprofessional instead of a classroom tutor. I will be working in the Primary (k-2) Emotionally Handicapped Collaborative. I am very excited about this change! This position actually has benefits and gets me vested in the NH teacher retirement system!!

Anyway, on to some cards! Lisa and I did a Sale-A-Bration card class a couple weeks ago. We had a very good turn out and people seemed to like the cards a lot. I thought that even though Sale-A-Bration is officially over, I would share the cards with you so you can use those free sets you got to make some great cards.

This first one uses the Friendship Blooms set and the Love and Happiness Rub-ons. The rub-on was applied to a scrap of Old Olive cardstock and then punched out with the 1/2" circle punch. The card base is Kraft cardstock stamped with Chocolate Chip ink. Layers of Chocolate Chip and Old Olive cardstock on top of the base after a length of the Chocolate Chip twill ribbon from the Occasions Mini Catalog is tied around the two layers. The Large flower is stamped on a scrap and then cut out and popped up on Dimensionals.

This next one also uses the Friendship Blooms set. It uses Confetti White cardstock cut 4 1/4 x 11 so that it opens vertically. We decided to do this for a bit of a change but this card could be made on a traditionally cut base as well. The top piece is Blue Bayou cardstock and the bottom piece is Blue Bayou Designer Series Paper. The strip across the middle is Confetti White with Blue Bayou on top of it. We stamped the row of three flowers in Craft White ink and embossed it with white embossing powder. The large flower is stamped on Confetti White and cut out. It was then popped up on dimensionals.

My intention was to post several more cards as well but time has slipped by and I need to get ready to do this very class with my friend Janet. Perhaps later tonight I can get a few more cards from the class posted for you.

Enjoy your day and Happy Stamping!
