I am so excited when I make something and the process is seamless!!!! LOL!
I just finished these cards and I love them!

The technique is the Swing Card. It's actually very easy to do!
Using the Square Framelits I cut out the front and then embossed it to give some interest.
Then I used the Painted Petals stamp set, used Blackberry Bliss ink on the flowers.
Then for ADDED interest I fussy cut the flowers out and popped them on with a dimensional!!
One little Gold Glimmer butterfly with a few pearls and it's done!
To open it you gently pull the Painted Blooms Cotton Twine to the left and VOILA!
…..the INSIDE!

I am LOVING this photopolymer stamp set, Lovely Amazing You.
The font is so pretty and refreshing!
Ok and here's the second one we'll be making.

Same technique just different colors. Oh and I forgot to tell you that the little clothespin was used to keep the card shut while I photographed it!
Here's the inside of this one.

OF COURSE I needed Crystal Effects with a tad of Dazzling Details Glitter!
What do you think???
Ok friends –please let me know by tonight if YOU are coming!
I'll need to prep for YOU!
Re-cap–we make two full cards (with envelopes) plus one for your Technique Booklet.
Class fee is only $10.00
Hope to see YOU tomorrow night -6PM

Here are some cards we made at my Thursday class this week !
I lOVE the Easter ones and how too darn cute is that bunny!!!!!!!!
AND I -of course- copied the Daffodil/Basic Black card and tweaked it! Did you see how I sponged Daffodil Delight ink on the Back to Black Designer Series Paper??
LOVE IT!!!!
What do YOU think??

I know it's hard to see(I will get better at editing!LOL) but in real life this Easter card with the chicks is too darn cute!!!

And this one is my favorite! This bunny is so LIVELY and HAPPY and just exudes the essence of SPRING!!!! It was fun just adding a few touches of color and of course CRYSTAL EFFECTS and Dazzling Detail Glitter!

I know this favor is difficult to see but he is so cute! It's our cello bag filled with mini marshmallows. The bunny is created with our punches! And his tail is a pom pom!
My dear friend Faye gave me this and I am now making them for my favors! THANK YOU FAYE!!!!!
If you want to make any of these Easter cards–contact me . I'm having 'drop in classes' just for this purpose! ( at YOUR time convenience!)
And lastly –look at this card!! I LOVE it! I THINK this is from Patty Bennett!!!
Thanks Patty for sharing!!!!!! It's beautiful!

Ok friends–time to either clean my house or stamp!
mmmmmmmmmmm………..life is short, I'll stamp now, clean later! LOL
