Jar of Joy Card Class To Go

Hello!

So very sorry for the absence but this summer has been spent dealing with my husband's infected knee replacement. He had surgery April 30 and got a brand new knee. All was well until May 31 when he spiked a fever and the knee started draining. The first two weeks of June were spent in the hospital. He is still getting IV antibiotics and has a wound vacuum. To say the least, my time is spent caring for him and all the stuff. There was no time for crafting but things have improved and I can 'play in my craft room' a bit more often. I have boxes and projects waiting for me!

So happy to announce my first Christmas Card Class for this year: Jar of Joy Card Class!! Here are the details about this class: Jar of Joy Class . I did a video showing the cute cards and made one of them so you can see how to make this slant front card. It's not hard, just has a unique cut. 

Here's the Video over on You Tube:

Floral Impressions Suite is Blooming!

Hello!! Back with a pretty floral card that features some of the new In Colors. Flowers are my favorite. I enjoy gardening and blooming things. There is so much inspiration in nature and color combos is one of those things that we can take inspiration from. The brand new Floral Impressions Suite is perfect for flower-lovers.

Today's card uses Floral Impressions designer series paper as my starting point. Here are the colors listed that this paper coordinates with:  Crushed Curry, Darling Duckling, Fresh Freesia, Garden Green, Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Peach Pie, Pecan Pie, Pool Party, Pretty in Pink, and Strawberry Slush. 

Which color would you pick to use first? My goal was to use all five In Colors. I started with Timid Tiger. The piece of DSP has all the colors so it didn't matter how it was cut, it would look good. My flowers were chosen from the list of coordinating colors, too. Timid Tiger, Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, and Strawberry Slush on these cards. Which is your favorite?

I matted the DSP on Garden Green. The oval is one of the dies in the Impressions Abloom Dies. There are two so you could layer them, too! On a whim, I added the ribbon tied in bows and the In Color pearls.  The 'thank you' is from My Small Business stamp set and is stamped in Pecan Pie. 

Here's the link for the VIDEO that shows how to make this card. 

Cutting Instructions:

Card Base: Cut 4 1/4" x 11, scored at 5 1/2"

Mat Layer: 4" x 5 1/4"

DSP Layer: 3 3/4" x 5"

Basic White piece to die cut and stamp flower

July Club Create announced

 Hello, My Stampin' Friends,

Welcome, July. June is a blur for me, how about you? Summer is in full swing and I have just the thing to keep you cool-a card class delivered right to your door.

July's Card Club Create features the Inspiring Imperfections bundle. This beautiful set is inspired by the Japanese tradition of Kintsugi. It is a traditional technique of repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer. The mended gold veins become a celebration of imperfection instead of hiding it. What a great philosophy.

Register now to get this beautiful packet of card kits and be sure and add on the bundle. If you add the bundle to your card kit when you register, you save the shipping and tax! Deadline to register for this class delivered right to your door is Sunday, July 20.

Kits are mailed this month on Monday, July 28. These cards are stunning in real life!

More Info about my Club Create can be found HERE

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stampin',
