Washi tape tags class

Oh my goodness I absolutely LOVE washi tape!  This is really the first big project I have made with it.  I have added some here and there on other things but I was seriously giddy making the projects for this class.  It is seriously fun, easy, and addicting! 

 

If you would like to make these projects with me, my class is on Wednesday, November 13th at 7:00 ($13)

 

Ok well first off this is the super cute box.  Wouldn't this box be so fun to receive a gift in?  I know I would love it.  Well in my box I don't have a gift but Christmas Tags! 

 

You can see a sneak peak of the cards through the window sheet circle.  The red piece of washi tape is on the card in the box. 

 



 

I put 15 cards and envelopes in this box.  They fit great since they are flat!

I basically pulled out all the holiday themed greetings from my current stamp sets and got to work stamping. 

 



 

Can you spot the Christmas Trees?  Which tag is your favorite?

 

 

Thank you cards are a must at Christmas time right?  These tags are perfect, just a little thank you note.

 

These are the envelopes!  I wrapped the washi tape around the back so there is a bit on the back as well. 

 

If you haven't tried washi tape, you seriously are missing out!  Check out the other washi tape you can get in my online shop here and in the Holiday Catalog.

2nd Annual Wedding Card Class

In January I held my 2nd Annual Wedding Card Class.  It was a success so I will probably have another one next year.  Here are the cards we made:

 Everyone who attends gets to choose which cards they make and how many of each card.  All the cards were well loved and chosen by many people.   I tried to make a variety and I think I accomplished that. 

 

This first card is made with various punches and the Occasions Alphabet.  I love the sayings on this alphabet!

 I just love the chevrons and butterflies on this card.  The silver Glimmer paper gave it just the right amount of shine

The neutral colors on this card really speak to me.  The Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Sahara Sand.  You can't go wrong with this color combo. 

 I loved that flower trim....

My favorite part on this card was the burlap inspired ribbon.  To make this unique bow, I had one long piece of ribbon and tied a knot near the end.  Before pulling the knot tight, I slipped a shorter piece through the knot.

 After stamping with Basic Gray Ink, I used Stampin Write markers to outline the leaves and color in the flower for a subtle pop of color.

 This card definitely had a lot of stamping.  The scalloped flower has 4 images stamped onto it.  We then crumbled it in our hands to give it some dimension before adhering it to the card.

 

 This card was the favorite of the night... the chalkboard technique is so big this year. 

 I started by rubbing the embossing buddy over the black cardstock (this helps the embossing powder to only stick to the versamark and not to the cardstock).  After heat embossing, I used a sponge with the white ink to add some "chalk dust" to the cardstock.

 The flowers were lightly dipped on the stamp pad to add a bit of color.

I hope you enjoyed these cards, I look forward to creating the cards for my wedding class next year!  Everyone is invited, if you would like to come just let me know!



Oh Whale Cards

If you recall, I recently posted about my spring downline group meeting.  For the meeting I made a super fun box with the fancy favor die.  You can see it HERE.  Today I want to share with you the 5 whale cards I made to fit inside the box.  After the downline meeting, I was able to hold a class at my house with my stamping friends.  These cards are made with the notecards and envelopes, so they are a bit smaller than a regular sized card.  I love them all, which one is your favorite?

This heart card would be perfect for Valentine's day.

On this Whalecome card I used a larger rinestone so it looked like a baby whale to me.

 

The waves on both of these cards were made with the wheel using versamark ink.  Love that stuff.

This Get whale soon card was the favorite at my class. 

This last card matched the box!  Love the doily waves!

Button Buddies class

Tomorrow I am hosting a class with this fun button buddies stamp set and I thought I should share the cards we are making with you!

This stamp set is so fun. Each image coordinates with the buttons we sell. The images look cute without a button, the button just makes it pop!

I am loving the scallop polka dot ribbon! they put 2 of my favorite things together!

ok so I have to admit... I LOVE rainbows! so this card makes me happy. I stole the idea to have the snail trail the kindness stamp. I love the new site for demonstrators! they have tons of fun ideas.

Ok so my friend Melanie totally opened my eyes. I probably would have never thought of this... a sick green pig! love it. (thanks Melanie for letting me case this card!)
