October MS Card Class

Hey there friends! These are the cards we are making today at the MS Society card class. The Christmas card was actually created for this class, but I liked it so much I added it to last months Christmas Card Class! :o)

Christmas Lane Stamp a Stack

Good Morning friends! If you are joining Deb and I today for the Christmas Lane Stamp a Stack, these are the cards and the card holders you will be making. I just love all that yummy Quilted Satin Ribbon, all the sweet little jingle bells and mini brads, and the rustic bakers twine. I can't wait for the fun to begin!

Sweet Taylor

Hi Friends! Here is a quick project I made featuring our sweet kitty Taylor, who passed away 3 years ago. The soft colors, gorgeous butterflies, and the darling cat, make for a frame we will be displaying for years to come.

Ingredients: (All SU! unless otherwise mentioned)
Soft Subtles DSP, C is for Cat, Four Frames, Decorative Label Extra Large Punch, Rose Red Classic Ink

Baseball Thanks!

Big C is finishing up the baseball year, and was lucky enough to have 3 great coaches for his Select Team, two of which were also his Rec coaches. We made these quick and fun cards to thank them, and picked these colors to match their uniforms. (If you click on the photo above, you should be able to see the embossed bats, balls and hats more clearly)

Ingredients: (All SU!)
Basic Black CS and Craft Ink, Black EP, Whisper White CS, Daffodil Delight CS and Classic Ink, Just Baseball (retired) Stamp Set, Thank You Kindly Stamp Set, Decorative Label Extra Large Punch, Heat Tool, Stampin' Dimensionals.

Gatefold Sympathy Card

One of the things I really like about this card is the gatefold. Slip off the belly band, and you have the open card below.

Good morning everyone! I hope you've had a fabby long Easter weekend. Where we are, the kiddies get one more day off of school, and I have to say, it almost feels like summer here! 4 whole days of playing outside, biking, walking, doors open, lovely weather....can't wait until the summer holidays start! Whatever you've been doing this long Easter weekend, I hope you've been enjoying yourselves.

This card is one we'll be making at the "Spring is Blossoming" card class, held Fri. May 27 from 7:30-9:30 pm, and Sat. May 28 from 1-3 pm. (see sidebar on the right hand side) Come join us to make six cards (2 each of 3 designs) and a 12x12 scrapbook page! (btw, you can add any sentiment you want, I chose "With Sympathy" merely because when I need a sympathy card I don't feel like making one, so I appreciate having them on hand)
