Workshop

The weather has been so nice, who wants to be inside? Me and the kids went to the zoo today and got to enjoy the sunshine. Now they are napping and I have time to update my blog...wish I was napping.

I have a workshop planned for this Saturday and these are the cards we are making.

I love these File Folder cards. I've seen them everywhere and finally decided to make one. I think they would be perfect for a teacher or someone who is super organized, not me.

I included a Whisper White insert so you can include a note. The Bakers Twine is tied around the card to keep it closed.

Stamp Set: Just Sayin', Teeny Tiny Wishes
Cardstock: Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Whisper White, I am Me DSP
Ink: Calypso Coral
Accessories:  Envelope Punch Board, Pool Party Bakers Twine, Ovals Collection Framelits, Word Bubbles Framelits, Big Shot

These cards very popular right now. I used the Scallop Tag Topper Punch for the closure part. I thought any mother would LOVE to get this card for Mother's Day.

I positioned the sentiment just over the hole where the ribbon goes so you can't see it.

Stamp Set:  Delightful Dozen

My friend/fellow demonstrator, Heidi Boos, gave me this card for my birthday and I loved it. Everything about it. I copied it exactly, because you can't mess with perfection, but I used different DSP, ink colors, and ribbon color. It's almost as cute as hers.

Workshop Cards

I had a workshop in March...3 cards for $6 and these were the cards we made.

This card uses Banner Blast stamp set and Banner punch, both from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. I was inspired by a card from one of my fellow demonstrators and friend, Heidi Boos of Stuck on Stampin'. She makes the best cards! Love her style!

Stamp Set:  Banner Blast (Sale-a-Bration), Remembering Your Birthday

Cardstock:  Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, Real Red, Whisper White, Fresh Prints DSP

Ink:  Coastal Cabana

Accessories:  Banner Punch (Sale-a-Bration), Banners Framelits, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Pearl Basic Jewels, Big Shot

 I like how this card turned out. Love the Coastal Cabana Ruffle Trim along the Chalk Talk tag.

Stamp Set: Starburst Sayings

Cardstock:  Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Very Vanilla, Retro Fresh DSP

Ink:  Baked Brown Sugar, Tangerine Tango

Accessories:  Chalk Talk Framelits, Starburst Framelits, Circles #2 Bigz Original, Coastal Cabana Ruffle Stretch Trim, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Big Shot

I was going for an easy card that didn't use the Big Shot and I thought Washi Tape would fit the bill. When it first came out, I wasn't too sure if I would like it, but I do. It's fun to use, peels off if you make a mistake, and comes in coordinating sets of three. And you can use it for so many more uses other than cards!

Stamp Set:  Yippee-Skippee!

Cardstock:  Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo, Melon Mambo, Whisper White

Ink:  Island Indigo

Accessories:  Garden Delight Washi Tape, Decorative Label Punch, Extra-Large Oval Punch, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Rhinestone Basic Jewels
