Hark...!

                                                                        Hi friends!

I was recently asked to do a program for a nearby church's Women's Group. When asked to do a program, (not a class), I try to think of a project that can all be set up in advance, and one that will teach a few basics to potential new paper crafters. 

I decided on this card. This is a beautiful hybrid set from Stampin UP. There are stamps, dies, and an embossing folder in this set, 'Merriest Moments'. I knew this set lives at my besties house, so I called Shirley and said, "I'll do all of the cutting and prep work, if you'll loan me the set, and help me day of program". Whew....she said yes! 

Inside of card:

This project allowed the ladies to: 

~Stamp with Misti, Stamparatus, and Tonic stamp positioners

~Heat emboss (sentiment on front of card)

~2nd generation stamping (Poinsettia on envelope and card insert)

~Die Cut

~Dry Emboss

~Use liquid glue and tape runners

~Use dimensional foam for card front panel.

They all seemed pleased. Each step was pre-set on one of the stamp positioners. We had a cuttlebug set up for die cutting the beautiful background, and a Big Shot set up for embossing the die cut. Everything went very smoothly, and the ladies were happy...Win-Win!

Thanks for stopping by, see you tomorrow with some more paper fun!

Hugs,

Patti J.

Class Kits

 Happy Satur-yay!

Hoping that your Thanksgiving was filled with blessings, good health, and pumpkin pie!

I have a few cards to share this morning. These were included in a recent kit that my BFF and I sent out to about 25 people.  I haven't made Shirley's kit yet, but as soon as I do, I'll post her three cards, as well. In the meantime, here's what I prepped and created:

This first card was a problem child to photograph, as the gold metallic mat and deer just shined so brightly! Each kit contained everything but adhesive.

Again, all pieces were included in kit. This may have been my favorite. I used a digi image from Beccy's Place. If you've never shopped there, you should! She has some great pre-colored images to choose from. I'm going to enter this card in her November challenge: Holiday themed, and created in November.

Last is this cute fun fold card. Who can resist a cute snow-person?

That's it for me today!  Have a great weekend, and I'll be back on the 1st!

Hugs and smiles,

Patti J.
