My lastest CASE

This is not one of my original designs but I had fun making this card. It is a case of a card (copy and share everything) that I found on splitcoaststampers. I colored the half pearls with Calypso Coral Stampin' Write marker then sprayed it with hairspray and let it dry to keep the ink from rubbing off you could also a clear top coat craft spray.
Items used to create this card were:
Very Vanilla, Soft Suede and Calypso Coral card stock
Field Flower stamp set
Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder
Apothecary Framelits (new)
Scallop Edge Border punch
Calypso Coral 1/8 Organdy ribbon (retired Sale-A-Bration 2012)

Summertime

We made this cute drawer box to hold the cards we made at recent stamp camp. I found the instructions on http://splitcoaststampers.com under resources.

Red Hat Birthdays

I went to http://valitasfreshfolds.blogspot.com/2011/10/fashion-hats-punch-art-set.html  and bought her complete instructions and made this cute card. Be sure and leave me a message and tell me what you think and also be sure and stop over and purchase your own instructions from Valita.
Join me for a fun afternoon when we will create this cute Punch hat as well as a second card that I will share at the work shop. Because some prefer early, others prefer mid-day and others late afternoon I've decided to open arrival time between 10 and 4. Deadline to register and pay is March 19th.
