Three Card Class TONIGHT

Just a reminder - we have our Three Card Class tonight at 6 pm.  I will be wearing a mask and hope you will too.

These are the three cards we'll be making.  All supplies will be provided.  I've written tutorials for both cards as well.

Happy Crafting,

Lovely Lily Pad

Today's share is a card I CASED (Copy And Share Everything) from a fellow demonstrator, Jan Chung, who is in my Stampin' Up! family, Iowa Inkers.

We will be making this card in our August 11th and 18th (dates corrected!) card classes. I needed to use up some of my retired Designer Series Papers, so I thought I would show you a different style card using the retired Lily Impressions papers. I don't have the dotted ribbon, so substituted with what I have on hand!

 Hopefully this will inspire you to use some of your papers you've been holding onto, not wanting to cut it up!

Poppin' Birthday Paper Pumpkin Card

Today is my sister, Kathleen's, birthday.  I made this card back in March or April and set it aside.  I'm amazed I didn't misplace it!

I used the Poppin' Birthday Paper Pumpkin kit to create this card.  This is the suggested card.

I did keep one back so I can create more cards with this pop technique.  I made two of these cards for family members so had to remember where I put them!  

Do you make cards ahead of time and forget where they are?  I used to put mine in a Birthday card binder.  Now I have so many, I have them in a tote so I can go through and decide who is going to get which one.  

Happy Birthday, Kathleen, Princess of Camelot Arms!

Golden Honey Thank You 2

So today's share is the last thank you card I've made so far using the Golden Honey designer series papers.  

Again, you see the colored in bee-hives and bees!  I just layered this onto the Gold Foil-Edged card and placed a piece of basic black cardstock across the front.   This Thank You is from retired stamp set, Daisy Delight.  It's very elegant looking in person!

Have you made any Golden Honey DSP Cards?  Be sure to share them!

Golden Honey Thank You

I love to color!  I took the black and white floral paper from Golden Honey Designer Series Papers and colored the flowers using my blends.  In do this, I am able to pull some other colors into the mix.  

This first card is done on Melon Mambo.  I layered a piece of Crumb Cake and then the colored flowers.  

This next card is done in retired Wisteria Wonder.  

I hope you get some inspiration from these cards.  There is so much you can add when using black and white designer series papers.  

Come back tomorrow for my last Golden Honey Thank You!

Golden Honey Thank You

How would you like to receive one of these Thank You Cards?  I decided to post all three of these together since they all have the basic design.  Thank you, Jeanie S., for the inspiration!

This first card has a simple Thank you.

This second card is to thank a friend.

This is the same as the second card except I turned it to open from bottom instead of from the right.  I truly love this design!

What do you think?  Ready to send a friend a thank you card?  Stop in today and purchase these in my store, or create them yourself!

You Made My Day

You Made My Day!  This is another card using the Golden Honey Designer Series Paper.

Who doesn't like a receiving a card -- especially if it is to let you know how much you are appreciated?  This says "You Made My Day" from the Here's A Card stamp set.  

This is a black and white design, so I was able to use whatever I wanted.  I used Petal Pink for the card base and coloring in the flowers.  I put a layer of Basic Black between the card base and paper. I used one of my stitched framelits for the outline and popped this up with a dimensional.  

I'll be selling all of these cards in my store, so if you want one, be sure to let me know!

Golden Honey Hello

Second day of Golden Honey!  Today's share is a variation of cards I found on Pinterest using the Golden Honey Designer Series Papers.

I will be alternating phrases so you don't get bored!  

Who doesn't like a "just because" card?  This says "Hello there" from the Here's A Card stamp set.  Again, you see the bees and hives are colored in.  I added another piece of Golden Honey and layered on the Gold Foil-Edged card.  I used one of my stitched framelits for the outline and popped this up with a dimensional.  

I'll be selling all of these cards in my store, so if you want one, be sure to let me know!  Don't worry, I'll be making more since I still have another full sheet of this paper!

Bumble Bee Birthday

Today's share is a card I made after I was inspired by all the beautiful designs on Pinterest using the Golden Honey Designer Series Papers I received from Sale-A-Bration.  I just now was able to do a little research and creativity.

I will be featuring a variety of cards and will consolidate those that are similar so as not to flood you with my designs!

First up is the Happy Birthday using the Golden Honey DSP.  I colored in the white of the hives and bumble bees and then added a strip of glimmer paper over black cardstock for a contrast.  The DSP is mounted onto Stampin' Up! retired Gold Foil Edged Cards & Envelopes.   I only made one of these so far.

I'll be selling these so if you want one, be sure to let me know!  Don't worry, I'll be making more since I still have another full sheet of this paper!
