Surprise! I'm here EARLY today! :D

I got up earlier than usual, so here I am. :D Today you'll get the third card from the Wonderful Window Sheets class - a magic card, then the next two days will be the cards from last night's Advanced Techniques class. We had a great time!!

Don't forget the THIRD ANNUAL BIRTHDAY CARD CONTEST - click HERE to read the original post - we don't have many entries yet, and you've only got ten more days to get your card to me!






This is the "beginning" of how this card looks....
























And this is how it looks when you make the "magic" happen (I pulled OUT the middle, so I could get a picture of it for you)! Because I ONLY like to do quick and easy cards, I ONLY do these cards when I teach them. :D Get the picture? But you can go HERE to learn how to do them for yourself!

Card stocks: Glossy White, Whisper White, Basic Black

Inks: Jet Black Stazon, Green Galore, Only Orange, Brilliant Blue, Glorious Green, Bashful Blue

Stamp sets: Branch Out, Really Retro

Accessories: Window Sheets (Occasions Mini), Stamp-a-ma-jig, round tab punchm paper trimmer

I'd LOVE to see your card if you try this! :)

OK, I'm off. Not that I have anything PRESSING, but I don't have anything else to say. :D

Have a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!!!! Be SURE to take the time to STAMP something!!!!

It's WEDNESDAY! :)

Hi, all! I'm really sorry that I haven't been posting as long or as often as I should; Kenn blew up all the laptops, so until HIS new PC gets here, we're SHARING this one. I bet you can guess how that's going. :D

ANYWAY. Last night was my first OPPORTUNITY NIGHT, and no one came. :D It's too bad, too - I had this cute project to share. I found a tutorial for it HERE, but had to fix one or two things. Here's the pictures of the one I did for last night! (While you're at Stephanie's blog, check out some of her other projects - she does great work!!!!!)

Isn't it CUTE?!?!?

Here's the low-down:

Card stocks: Cameo Coral, Whisper White, Summer Sun, Garden Green, Close to Cocoa, Very Vanilla (see next picture)

Ink: Cameo Coral

Stamp sets: Really Retro (see next picture), Boho Backgrounds

Accessories: Five-petal flower punch, scallop circle punch, 1/2" circle punch, small oval punch, scallop edge punch, Very Vanilla taffeta ribbon, Build-a-brad, dimensionals, crimper


SO fun to do! Here's what it looks like when you pull out the insert:


This card WILL fit in a standard card envelope! You just have to be careful when putting the flowers on to keep it at the 5-1/2" heighth.

OK. Lots to do today, not to mention getting off here soon so Kenn can have his "turn". :D

Have a WONDERFUL day! If you try one of these flower pot cards, I'd LOVE to see what you do!

Because you ARE going to take the time to STAMP SOMETHING, aren't you?!?!?! ;)
