April Stamping Class Projects

Well I did it again... I went a little overboard with this month's class projects.  Mother's Day was on my mind when I came up with these cards.  And Pool Party is becoming my favorite Stampin' Up! color in case you didn't notice.  I will feature more photos and details on each project over the next few days.  Enjoy!

Mother's Day Card:  Used Stampin' Up1 Modern Mosaic embossing folder with Soft Sky, White and Black color combo.

Mother's Day Card:  Used Stampin' Up! Oval Framelits, Secret Garden stamp set and framelit.  So sad that this set and framelit is retiring!!

Coaster Calendar:  May and June

Technique Tuesday: Faux Metal

I hope you are loving my Technique Tuesday series as much as I am. I love pulling out my 6x6 Technique Album and looking at all the great techniques we made. This technique is called the "Faux Metal" technique. This would be great for a masculine card.
