Bouquet of Flowers

This wintery weather has to go...now the rain, but that means May Flowers. To celebrate we had a class with a variety of flower inspired cards.

My favourite stamp set was used for this, any guesses? Yes! Everything Eleanor :)

 
Excuse the photo, didn't take to well..glare from the printed window sheet DSP.

 
This is a simple 4 x 4 card using Smokey Slate, my go to grey!

 
Use of framelits and embossing folder to create this one...
 
 
A quick and easy card to duplicate, a bunch of cards, fast results!

Envelope Card

Isn't this a great use for our envelopes.. can you tell how it started out?




 
After the flap was cut off, I ran it through the bigshot with the Fancy Fold embossing folder.
 
Surprise! There is a pull out layer too!

Today I would like to share a little Bunny Treat Holder.. He was made with the Oval Framelits and Petite Purse die (retired).

 
Of course I had to show his cute bunny tail too!

Spring is here to stay!

The sun is shining, the snow is melting and temperatures are on their way up! Yeah, Finally!!!
Here we are into the 2nd week of April, Easter is approaching fast but still have a blanket of snow..hope the Easter Bunny can hide his eggs without leaving clues with his footprints :)

Mondays' class was cards folded with a twist.....

First we tried our hand at card-in-a-box, have you seen them? They are all over the 'net'.

 
We used Betsey's Blossom stamp set for this one.
 
 
Do you remember making Spinner cards? Usually made with a penny in the groove, no longer available so we used CS 3/4" circle with double stacked dimensionals in between.
 
 
This card used the thinlet dies and we extended the card base for a double fold.
Love, love Crisp Canteloupe.
 
 
The Spiral Flower die and Bigshot to make a pin from felt...
 
Finally, a group photo of the projects together...
