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.

Stampin' Up! Flower Shop Birthday Card

I've been playing around with the Stampin' Up! Flower Shop set and was inspired to make this birthday card.  Used Stampin' Up! Flower Shop and See Ya Later stamp set and the In-Color 2014-2015 Designer Series Paper pack.  I  love this paper but how do you decided which pattern.. they are all so beautiful.   Hope this inspires you!
