I have a nice investment in my collection of fun toys and I always enjoy learning new ways to use them.

That is one of the things I love about my job is sharing what I  love with others and being able to show them multiple ways to use their favorite products.

So spread the news - Bring a NEW friend and receive 1/2 off your class fee!

On February 8th- Friday evening at 6:30 we will learn some new techniques and Funky Fold cards!

Here is a sneak peak of just a couple folds we will be learning!

 I tell ya I have been in love with this fold technique for a while but it definitely takes the right creative coach to learn how to make this card! I finally found Kelly Acheson's tutorial and her's did it for me!

The creative process on this card was so fun and 3 hours (LOL) of just glamming it up! 

I LOVE Valentines Day it is my absolute favorite Holiday to make cards. 

I am lucky to have loved ones to send all these fun creations too!!

Don't you love the little trinket key? Guess what those are on sale on the clearance rack!!

NEW TECHNIQUE-Crushed Soda Pop Tops

NEW TECHNIQUE! Check it out! 

In the NEW Spring Catalog 

 Soda Pop Tops on page 24 which coordinate with the adorable Collage Curio set 

are too fun to decorate and then run thru your BIG SHOT and flatten!

TIP: When running the soda pop tops thru the BS make sure to flip all the tabs forward 

and just use the base of the platform put the top between your acrylic pads 

and roll it thru and viola!

I had fun creating this card inspired by the sample in the Spring Catalog on page 24.

Don't you love it when you create a card from 

the vortex of your own creative mind?

I rarely have the time to spend several (won't tell you how many I spent on this one) hours

to make something truly original. Thank God for my friends in the SU blog world who share their ideas each day to inspire and allow me to CASE such beautiful creations!

 I am a casing, tweaking , color combo switching queen.

But today I took the time and made something from the heart that really makes me smile.

I always make all my samples and put them on the shelf and whatever cards make me smile the most when I look at them are the cards I usually end up teaching at class! Not always the most profitable approach but my stamping friends seem to like it!

So here it is- I really hope you like it!

I love the eclectic vintage shabby chic feel of this card! It is a frilly fru fru!

If someone sent me this I would be over the moon! Just saying>>

Supplies:

CS: Vanilla base with Natural Composition DSP( the sheet with the lines), 

Tea for Two DSP, First Edition DSP, Amore Amore DSP

Stamps: Hey There Friend & the splashy dots (love em')

(From the NEW Paper Pumpkin kit coming out in March)

 I am addicted to these 2 stamps. I would by the whole kit just for the 2 stamps but thank goodness I happen to love the whole kit!

Punches: 3/4 in circle,butterfly,itty bitty punch trio,1 1/4 circle scallop, 1 inch square

Big Shot Heat Framelits, 

Accessories:Vanilla Seam Binding, Tea Time Trinkets, Vintage brad, trinkets clip & pin and since I can't sew a lick I used my gel pen around the edges to give it the illusion of stitching.

The placement of the bow and hearts was actually the most time consuming part. I had to get the right flow going? Do you do that? Now is the perfect time to stock up on your wish list.
