En Francais and Wild Rose

This is another of the cards we made last night at $2 cards. This is the first card I have made with both these sets and I also love both of them. I have way to many favourites!

Recipe: En Francais and Wild Rose and Basic Phrases sets, Perfect Plum, Lovely Lilac and Whisper White cardstock. Perfect Plum, Pretty in Pink and Mellow Moss ink. Word Window Punch. Stampin Dimensionals. Very easy!

Boho Backgound/Garden Whimsy

This is one of the cards we made last night at $2 cards. It was one of the favourite and everyone made a fantastic job of it. Boho Background and Garden Whimsy are 2 of my new favourite sets at the moment. Everyone thought this backgound stamp was amazing because of the way it looks like designer paper when finished. It really is a lovely background!

Recipe: Boho Background, Garden Whimsy (words) Purely Pomegranite and Whisper White card, Purely Pomegranite ink, Pretties Kit and Lg Oval Punch.

This card is for my Grandmother who turns 80 tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

This card was adapted from a more basic version that I had done at my last workshop and all the ladies absolutely loved it so I thought I would dress it up for my Grandma's birthday card. While all her other cards are going to tell her she's 80, mine will tell her that she is 'Cherished' which I think will go down a bit better!

Recipe:

Baroque boarder wheel, baroque motif stamp set, bravo burgundy and very vanilla cardstock, bravo burgundy ink and hodge podge hardware and non SU ribbon.

Please note: This card looks a little off balance because it wouldn't sit flat in my scanner because of the brads and hodge podge!

My first card using Dazzling Diamonds

This is a card we made at one of my recent workshops that everyone really liked. It was also my first time using dazzling diamonds so it was lots of fun.

Recipe:

Bud Basics stamp set, Carte Postale stamp set, basic black, tempting turquoise and glossy white cardstock. Basic black and tempting turquoise stamp pad. Heat and stick powder and dazzling diamonds. White 1/4 inch SU grograin ribbon.

My first $2 card evening

My first $2 card evening was a great success and all the ladies had a great time and some lovely cards were made. These are 2 of the cards that we made and I have added the rest to my slide show. These 2 were 'cased' from the current catalogue. We used the Baroque Motifs set and the 'a little bit of happiness' hostess set. These are 2 of my favourites from the new catalogue.

My first Workshops were a great success!

This is one of the cards made at my first 2 workshops and the ladies who attend both workshops really loved it. Thanks to Michelle for all the help and inspiration with the projects we did for both workshops. For this card we used French Script and Natural Beauty. Two stunning stamp sets that everyone loved. Thanks to all the ladies who attended. I know from your feedback you all really enjoyed it. Look forward to seeing you all soon.
