Huge variety

I held a stamp class the other night and we made a set of four cards and a nice gift box out of the Parisian Breeze Specialty Designer Paper. The instructions were CASED from Sue McAleavy's blog at http://sohappytostamp.typepad.com. The incredible thing is, 4 women, given identical supplies created 16 very different cards. Here are some of them. We had a great time! Next workshop, Father's Day!

Parisian Breeze Card Set

Hostess Gift

I went to a friend's home the other night for a Girl's Night. She had a beautiful spread of appetizers for us and we enjoyed a little wine and lots of conversation. It was SO much fun. I thought about picking up a bottle of wine or some flowers before I went, but decided to take her something I'd made. So, I made her this set of cards with her initial. I used the Urban Garden DSP and the Lovely Letters. I made 3 each of the Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss. She really liked them.

Scalloped Dress Card

I finally got the large scallop circle die and am having WAY too much fun with it. I made this card for a friend's birthday (yep, it's retired paper) but I tinted the white taffeta ribbon with Apricot Appeal

and used the new oval scallop punch and Oval All set from the Occasions Mini and some Pretties.

CRAZY FOR FLOWER POTS

I am SO hooked on these darling little flower pots! I've been playing with them for a couple of days, and challenging myself to NOT use the Big Shot. I've been using it for just everything, and thought my punches were feeling a little left out. So, I got out the punches and the stamps and paper snips and just fooled around a bit. Here's what I've come up with so far. So many options, I'm pretty sure I'm not finished with these yet!
