Once upon a Springtime

Hello Everyone,

Had my monthly card class over at Simply Said Rubber Stamps yesterday. Everyone enjoyed themselves.

Let me share one of the cards from the class.

Quite a bit of layers and various different DP's adds a lot of interest to a card. The fairy is darling and we used Wink Of Stella to add just the right amount of shimmer to the image and the saying. 

If you haven't tried Wink of Stella yet, you must try it. I suggest starting out with the clear. It will add shimmer to your color and it really adds just the right accent.

Sending You Happy Thoughts

Happy Wednesday Everyone, and welcome back.

I want to show you the 2nd card I presented at my card class last Saturday.

This stamp is from Woodware and it's from their line of bubble stamps. They have about 8 different stamps in that bubble line. They are all really great with the circles in the image. Since I am drawn to circles I just fell in love with these. The flower was colored in and then the color was overlayed with the Wink of Stella to give some shimmer. Sorry it really isn't very visible on the picture. I taught everyone how to make a multi-loop bow for this card using the Craft-Dee BowZ tool and everyone's bows looked great! That tool is so easy to use.

Hi Everyone,
Well it was the third Saturday of the month this past Saturday, time for my regular card class,The Card Shop class at Simply Said Rubber Stamps.

Here is the first card I presented:

The bird just reminded me of spring. Couldn't pass that up after the winter we've had. Have you used Wink of Stella yet? Well we used it on some of those circles in the bird, love that embellishment, just adds the right touch of shimmer. Also used some pearls from Fabscraps those are yummy.

Embossed the right half of the front of the card, added some gold leafing, layered a gold panel and some designer paper and tucked in a few greenery sprigs and wella!! a darling celebration card.
