I Guess I've Been Busy

Wow gals!!

I didn’t have room on my shelf for all the cards I made this month so I began to put them away and realized I had quite a pile  I decided to take pictures. 

                   Check it Out!!

And believe it or not, this isn't all. 

There were some I just made separately to finish things up or to take part in a challenge online.

All of these in the pictures here were generated from my classes in August.

                       Whew!!

I think I'm tired! But no time to sit on the couch. I still have more cards to make. 

The month isn't over yet!

Okay...Let's see who's watching my blog. I have a little prize to give away. Let's see who can guess what my total comes to by the end of the month. 

Whoever gets the closest wins!

Class To Go

Hello out there all my blog followers!

This is to fill you in on one of the classes I teach each month. It is called the "Red Hen Roundup"

I hold this class in rounds, so when you sign up you are committing to the entire round. They usually run for four months and that is the case with the next one that's coming up soon. It will begin in September and run through December. The class fee is $25 each month. You generally make six cards and we make a Christmas card each month to give us a headstart at the end of the year. 

Up until now these classes have only been offered to my local gals but beginning with this round I have decided to offer them through the mail. Since COVID I have been filming videos for my ladies and since I'm going to continue doing them it opens up the possibility for those of you outside the area to join in. You would receive your kit in the mail by the middle of each month. All the die cutting and stamping would be done for you. You need only follow along on the video to put your cards together. Beginning next year I am going to charge $30 plus shipping per month for these kits to go, but to kick it off I'm offering it for the $25 price and only $3.50 for the shipping charge.

Let me know as soon as possible if you'd like to join in as it is very close to time for me to begin making the kits. I'll wet your whistle by showing this sneak peek of one of the cards we will be making in next month's class. Isn't it cute! And it is an interactive card since the koala actually swings back and forth. 

Come  on and join the fun!

Slimline Cards

 Hi All 

There's a new craze going around right now.....Slimline Cards. 

These are tall skinny cards made the size to fit in the long skinny envelopes (I forget what they're called 😋)

The Cat's Pajamas is running a challenge on their site to make one so I thought I'd use a bit of their product and give it a shot. 

The stamp set I used is #S-7859. It includes this darling bunny floating away on some balloons as well as the sentiment I used. I also used their set of dies for making peekaboo windows.

First you see them closed and then open. 

I just love this bunny and they use the same little guy on several of their stamp sets doing all sorts of things. 

On this particular set he is also riding a dragon dressed as a Norseman.

Here he is scuba diving. I love it!!

On that set he is also a pirate on a pirate ship. 

I used the bunny with balloons in my last class to make this cute card...

and set #K-5838  to make these.

I think he's adorable and you'll be seeing him again.

Hint....I already bought the set in which he is the Easter bunny.

 

Rainbows Abound

Time for my second assignment. 

This time I was tasked with doing rainbows and I have made many. 

If I shared them all you'd get bored really fast, so I'll just add a few. 

This one is a spinner card. You twirl the rainbow around before you close it and when it's opened it spins. How fun!!

This one is framed in on the top of a box. 

And finally a slider card. When you pull up the tab at the top of the card the sunshine and rainbow come up from behind the clouds. 

Day 3 is symmetry. 

Hmmmm...What shall I do for that?

Visual Triangle

Hi All 

I'm trying to take part in a challenge and this is my first assignment. 

I was to create a card with a visual triangle. I think I've got one here that's a touch lopsided, but that counts. Even the hot air ballon is triangular shaped. 

I used a stamp from The Cat's Pajamas #K-5838 CL, and the adorable plaid paper is from a 6X6 paper pad from My Favorite Things. I love every single piece of it!

Hint Sneak Peek....

The gals in my upcoming Red Hen Roundup class will be making the one with the clouds. 

My next assignment is rainbows. I'll be posting that next
