Bliss is making good use of her "stash" of assorted printed paper for this month's workshop.  Hope you can join us for another relaxing afternoon of card making!

Insta-Instructions

With the popularity of smartphones, Instagram, and collage/picture apps, I thought I would try to incorporate these digital tools into my November workshop instruction sheet.  We always try to prepare a guide for our cards, as many people will pick up kits to complete on their own time.  For each card, I created a "mini collage," which included a picture of the card and a key pointer or two.  I had so much fun creating collages in the "PicCollage," "PicFrame," and "A Beautiful Mess" apps (thanks, Rae!).  Here are my creations... I hope they were helpful for our workshop participants!

 

May Workshop: Guys and Grads

bring your tape runner!

To celebrate the guys in our lives, Bliss will be creating a fun set of cards using the Cricut.  We can't wait to try the new cartridge, "Total Sports."  Don't forget, Father's Day is just around the corner!

And since May is graduation season, I'll be working on a simple set of graduation cards. The new 12x12 paper pack, "The Graduate," includes many neutral tones, so I hope to incorporate some color.  Kits will also come with your choice of cardstock - you can celebrate your most recent graduate with his/her school colors.  Hope you can join us for this month's workshop!

Stampin Up! Inspiration

On Saturday, I attended Shereen's card workshop using Stampin Up! products. We did 4 cards and repeated them 3 times. I don't consider myself a good stamper (I get so nervous!), but I always enjoy learning new craft techniques.  Here's a shot of the 4 cards we created.  Can't wait to add them to my collection...

Bliss will be using the new Cricut cartridge, "Holiday Frames and Tags," to create gift tags, treat boxes, and even a card or two.  Let's enjoy this Christmas season together with an afternoon of crafting... Take a break from shopping! 

November Workshop Update: Finished TY Cards

It's been a challenging week, but designing these cards was a great stress relief.  And I always feel a sense of accomplishment after putting my creativy to work!  I decided to embellish my set of cards with paper flowers and titles from the "Thank You" digital kit.  Meanwhile, Bliss enhanced her set with fun Cricut letters and shapes... I love how we always come up with different ideas and implement them with different styles.  It makes learning and creating even more fun. Hope you can join us for our workshop tomorrow or are inspired to create your own notecards!
