TGIF and my October Thank you Cards!

Hey there crafty peeps!


Another week has flown by and I have to say I have really enjoyed this one.  I have been creative, social and hard at work all week.

Got an invite out to supper last night and enjoyed a lovely meal with Pam Gale and her family, and then after supper, stamping.  Pam is going with me to regionals in St. John's and we were working on her swap and I was trying to stamp the endless elements of mine.

Hers is so cute.  I already have plans for it.  I will be sending it to my son and his wife.  Haha now I"ve gotten you curious haven't I?  But once again no pics yet for you, of either swap card. 

The other half of this post is my October Thank You cards!  I am trying to get ahead of the thank you cards and found when you have to make a lot of cards, simple is definitely the way to go!  If you placed an order this month one of these beauties will either arrive in your mailbox or in your order!

Have a little look -

 

The stamp sets used were "Work of Art" and "Flowering Flourishes".  I love the white space, it looks so clean.  I used Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Pear Pizzazz to stamp the background and embossed the flourish in Gold Embossing Powder.  Nice and simple but still has a wow factor.

 

Well that's it for this post.  Off to the craft room to design a class for some wee girlies.  We are going to make some Halloween decorations.  I have an idea that just may work! 

 

Lots of hints in these last couple of posts, I am trying to drive you crazy!  Is it working?

"I Hear Bells!"

Good Day Stampers,

I am home for a couple of days from camping to prepare for my "I Hear Bell!" class.  It's almost the end of June and I don't know about you but I have a wedding to attend in July. 

I figured my stampers might have a similar problem, so I am currently designing a class for Wedding and Anniversary cards.  Of course these cards will also work for a B-Day card with a simple change of a sentiment.

I have a share for you today.  I have two cards done for my class and have two more to do.  I used Fabulous Florets and Velum card stock for the first one and the second one uses Flowering Flourishes.  I got this set not long ago and haven't had time to work with it.

Have a look -

 

This is the first card for the class.  Not too much fussy cutting for my stampers.  They tend to complain if they have to fussy cut.  lol.  But I have been replacing my scissors with Stampin' Up!'s Paper Snips and I have to tell you it makes a HUGE difference.   My stampers were so impressed They have been purchasing the scissors.

 

Here's a close up of the middle of the flowers.  Purty!

 

Now for my second share -

 

 

I used Flowering Flourishes and the BoHo Blossom Punch and lots of pearls.  Love it!  These flowers could be done in any color and I will offer that option to my stampers.  You know it's great when we can match the colors for the weddings we are attending.

 

So that's it for me I only have today and tomorrow to get these classes in the bag so no time to chat.

 

Ringing in my ears hugs!
