Here are the fabulous cards we made at class last night!
I can't get enough of the beautiful Spice Cake Designer Series Paper in the Holiday Mini. It's featured here on the leaves and in the Thank you/pumpkin card below. We also used the new Houndstooth Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the Hand-Penned Holidays Stamp set from the Holiday Mini. What fun!
I saw this next card on the blog, inkspiredtreasures.com, a few months ago and have been wanting to try it out. It is a bit labor-intensive (coloring the leaf stamp from the Warmest of Wishes Hostess Stamp from the Holiday Mini and cutting the Rectangle Designer Frames Embossing folder image), but I think it was worth it! What do you think?? We also used the Polka Dot Textured Impressions Embossing folder, a Rich Razzleberry Flower brad, and a bit of Pocketful of Posies DSP. These bright, fun colors are awesome to work with (especially on the dreary winter days we've had here lately in Michigan!).
What a contrast.... This next card also uses the Polka Dot Textured Impressions Embossing folder, but has a much more muted color pallete. I love it just as much though!! I really enjoyed using the Victoria 5/8" Crochet trim on this card - I didn't think I needed this ribbon, but have really grown to like it! The pumpkin is made with three large oval punches - I love getting more than one use out of my punch!
This last card is super simple. In fact, I demonstrated it at a party I did about a month ago. I bought this stamp set (Day of Gratitude) last year in the holiday mini and was thrilled to see it made it to this year's Idea Book and Catalog so that I could pull it back out again! The card features some traditional fall colors - More Mustard, Cajun Craze and Early Espresso, along with the 1/4" Early Espresso grograin ribbon. The sentiment, "Gratitude can transform common days into Thanksgivings", is perfect this time (or any time!) of year!
Card-making classes are always held on the 2nd Wednesday of every month. My next card-making class will be held on Wednesday, December 14 at 7pm in my new location downtown Alma, 127 E. Superior St. Come join us for a fabulous night of card-making! Just email me at amy.frillici@yahoo.com if you'd like to join in the fun!
