The scallop square is from the Scallop Squares Duo Bigz die. For a different look, I used a 1/16" hole punch on each scallop. A bow made from Pretty in Pink satin ribbon finishes off the card.
Have a great night, everyone!

Tuesday Night Card Class: May 31, 2011
April showers bring May flowers! All of the cards from tonight's class have a floral / nature theme.
Mariko brought her Two step bird punch to share with the class. Thanks Mariko!

This card has a lovely rose made from 1/4" grosgrain ribbon. I am looking forward to showing you how to make this rose tonight!
Last but not least - the flower pot card! Isn't it great that these flowers will never wilt? This card has a removable insert (see photo below). Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the flowers to the insert. Make sure the height of the finished card doesn't not exceed 5-1/2" or else it will not fit in the envelope!
Have a great night, everyone!

Tonight's cards!
Here are the cards from tonight's card class. See you soon!
This is a tri-fold shutter card! Start with a piece of 5-1/2" x 12" card stock and score the long side at 2", 4", 8", and 10". Next, rotate your paper 90 degrees. Along the long edge, measure in 1-1/2". Using your paper trimmer or a craft knife, cut slits from the 2" score mark to the 10" score mark. Repeat this cut on the other long side.
I used Play Date Designer Series Paper and the Beautiful Wings Big Shot die to decorate the card. The stamp set, Happy Greetings, is from the Summer Mini Catalog.
This card features the Inlaid Embossing technique! Punch out a few shapes and adhere them to your card stock. Then run it through the Big Shot using the Square Lattice embossing folder. This results in a gorgeous quilted effect! The sentiment is from the Simply Said stamp set and the swirl image is from a holiday stamp set called Season of Joy. (Don't you just love finding ways to use your holiday sets throughout the year?)
The last card features the Level 2 hostess set from the Summer Mini catalog. I received this set from Stampin' Up! as a gift for my recruiting efforts!
Here are a few more ideas for using your holiday supplies throughout the year ... the Ornament Punch also doubles as a vase! Just trim off a bit from the bottom. And the polka dot paper is from the Jolly Holiday Designer Series Paper collection.
I applied some Champagne Glass Glitter to give this card a little sparkle and shine.

New Blog Banner
I used My Digital Studio to redesign the banner at the top of my blog. I hope you like the new look! Here is how the banner looks:
The scalloped border was created using the All Scallops stamp brush set (118819, $3.95). This set is included with the full version of the My Digital Studio software, or you can purchase it separately.
A few more keystrokes to in type my contact information and the banner design was complete! I like to keep things quick and simple.
Have a great day, everyone!

The butterfly is from the Simple Friendship stamp brush set (119835, $3.95), which is also included with the full version of My Digital Studio or can be purchased separately. I stamped it in Early Espresso.

Double Embossing Card
This card features the eye catching double embossing technique featured in the June 2011 issue of Stampin' Success. This is a monthly magazine that is mailed out to all demonstrators! I combined the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder with Melon Mambo Stampin' Emboss powder and the heat tool.
1.) Ink a brayer with Versamark and roll brayer on the side of the embossing folder with the design pressed in. Note: this technique works best with embossing folders that have a bold design.
2.) Place your paper face down on the inked side of the embossing folder and run it through the Big Shot.
3.) Remove paper from embossing folder. Sprinkle the inked side of the paper with embossing powder and set it with the Heat Tool.

Tuesday Night Card Class - May 10, 2011
Thanks for Being a Friend Card
I love cards that can be put together in under ten minutes! The beauty in this card comes from the new Flower Garden embossing folder in the Summer Mini catalog. After embossing, use a white watercolor crayon on the raised areas to make the flowers stand out against darker color card stock. Simple, yet striking!
Stamps: Happy Greetings (2011 Summer Mini)
Markers: Cherry Cobbler, River Rock
Paper: River Rock, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla
Accessories: White Watercolor Crayon, 3/8" Early Espresso Taffeta Ribbon, Scallop Oval Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals
Big Shot: Flower Garden Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (2011 Summer Mini)
Elements of Style Stair Step Card
Do you recognize this card? This was one of my most favorite designs from 2010. I've had several requests to do this card again and I finally gave in to the peer pressure!
Embossed aluminum foil looks fabulous on a card! Adhere the aluminum foil to a scrap piece of card stock so it will not tear when running it through the Big Shot.
Use your Paper Snips to cut out the hummingbird - the sharp pointy tips on these scissors make it easier to cut around detailed images.
Stamps: Elements of Style
Ink: Early Espresso
Markers: Blushing Bride, Regal Rose, Old Olive
Paper: Blushing Bride, Whisper White, Early Espresso
Accessories: Paper Snips, 1/8" Early Espresso Ribbon, Basic Rhinestone Jewels, Stampin' Dimensionals
