Garden in Bloom Gift Card Holder

Today's sample is another project from my May Stampin Class.  We made this cute gift card using Bermuda Bay card stock and the Garden in Bloom stamp set.


Dimensions:  Bermuda Bay card stock:  8 3/4" x 4 1/4" and scored at 1", 5" and 5 1/4".  The outside white panel is 4" x 3" and the inside white panel is 4" x 3 1/4".





Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack

Another sample from my May Stampin Class.  I posted this card a while ago but the girls loved it so I made it part of my class projects.  This card is a great way to show off all the great color combinations you can work around by using the "Have a Cuppa" Designer Series Paper Pack from the Occasions Mini Catalog.


I would never have put Wisteria Wonder, Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo and Smoky Slate on one card... but I think it looks great the way the colors all compliment each other.



Washi Tape Wednesday: Elegant Butterfly

Today I'm sharing a card using my latest obsession... Washi Tape.  I love the way the blue washi tape offsets the silver and back and white tape.  This simple card was done in 5 minutes.



Happy Mother's Day Butterfly Basics

One of my Mother's Day cards from my May Stampin Class.  WE outlined the flower with a glitter pen, Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.





May Stampin Class Projects

The girls who attended my May Stampin Class got a treat with some Mother's Day Cards.


We made this Stand Up Fold Card using the Butterfly Basics stamp set with Old Olive, Lost Lagoon and Daffodil Delight.

The Lost Lagoon card stock is a regular folded card size:  5 1/2" x 4 1/4".  The folded white piece of card measures 9 3/8" x 4" and scored at 5 1/4" and 7 1/4".








Color Me Irresistible Specialty DSP

I had a lot of fun playing with the Color Me Irresistible Specialty DSP paper pack.  I simply sponged some Pool Party ink down the center and added some butterflies and leaves.  I positioned the leaves so the tops look like the butterfly antennas.  The butterfly is from the Bold Butterfly thinlit set and the leaves are from the Bird Builder punch.






Alter It Thursday: Washi Tape Holder

My latest obsession is with Washi Tape and I've been collecting so many of them that I needed to find a creative way to store them.  So I made this cute box from an empty aluminum foil box. I covered the inside paper roll since it holds all the washi tapes in place.  And you can use the metal razor edge to cut off the washi tape.
