Many Thanks Class
In February I held my first class for 2010..... Many Thanks. I ran this class again last weekend for those that were unable to attend the original class.
Each participant made 8 cards, 2 of each of the 4 designs. Each of the cards is very versatile and can easily be adapted to suit, other situations ie. Birthday, Best Wishes, Thinking of you, and some would suit with Sympathy etc. Infact you could make any or all of these cards ahead of time and just add the appropriate greeting as needed.
I was also determined to design one card that was suitably masculine. I know we can all easily design feminine, soft and pretty cards however we often struggle with cards for men. So without making it too difficult I wanted one card that would fit this bill whilst still using embellishments. The Curly Label thank you card uses Old Olive base, Very Vanilla overlay, a piece of Close to Coco as well as Close to Coco and Old Olive Ink. Finishing off with Old Olive Ribbon and two pieces of Hodge Podge. This card was a hit with all.
For the 2nd class I didn't realise until the last minute that I had forgotten to order the Pretty in Pink card stock and had to come up with a suitable replacement for the So Swirly Card. I have used Certainly Celery & Pretty in Pink along with the Pixie Pink Stampin Write Marker from the Bold Brights set.

Be Our Valentine
Valentine's Day was the perfect opportunity to try out my new punch and "I {heart} Hearts" stamp set when making a Card for Sam from both Ella and I. Fortunately the punch and stamp set arrived a few days before Valentines Day.
I used a white pen to write on the inside of the card.... I always like to let Ella write (have a little scribble) on the inside of cards we send particularly when she has helped me to make them in the first place.
Cardstock: Purely Pomegranate*, Very Vanilla, Kraft
Ink: Purely Pomegranate*

Walk in the Park
One of my Aunt's is often sending Ella Gifts which is always a pleasant suprise.
So when I found a lovely pewter Angel handbag holder (that you rest on the table so your bag does not sit on the floor) I thought of my Aunt immediately.
To go with the gift I decide to custom make a box to match the Tri-fold card.

This has been one very neglected blog. Not to say that I have not been spending time stamping, sadly I have just not spent anytime updating my blog. 
So much so that I failed to post my October Challenge entry. Below are 3 variations on the same card.
I made 35 of the card on the left as my swaps for our Regional Training in Cairns and 40 of the card in the center for Mum to send our following her surgery.
Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Whisper White
Stamp Sets: Sprinkles, All Oval
Punches: Lge Oval, Oval Scallop, Eyelet Border
Accessories: Dazzling Diamonds, Mat Pack
The card I made for my swaps was recently posted on the demonstrators website unders Stampers Showcase.... much to my suprise.
