More Cupcakes

These are the last two cards we made at the crazy for cupcakes class. The first card was cased from Traciac at SCS. I love the designer series paper with the scallop edge folded over the image. On the second card I used Dazzling Diamonds to cover the icing section. I love how sparkly this card turned out. After the class I used this card as a birthday card for my brother-in-law Dave.

August Thank You Notes

I try to include a thank you note with every customer order. I know I always love to receive little notes, so I like to try to send them as much as possible. I don't nearly send out enough cards but I am trying to send out more, I really need to get my cards more organized so that I can easily grab the one for the right occasion. This is the thank you card I made for all August orders. I have always loved the Tart & Tangy stamp set, it just seems perfect for a summer card. You can't tell in the picture but I used one of the Texturz Plates for the Big Shot to dry emboss the background. I love the way this card turned out.

I have been meaning to post the pictures of the rest of the cards from the Crazy for Cupcakes class, but I have not got around to it yet. I have not been feeling very well lately, and have been very busy, so posting has really slipped from my to do list.

Crazy for Cupcakes Class

Recently I did a class with the stamp set Crazy for Cupcakes. When this set first came out, I didn't really think much of it. I thought, how much can you really do with a couple cupcake images and a balloon. But after seeing so many great samples with it, I finally broke down and bought it, used it a bunch, fell in love with it and decided I just had to do a class with the set. It really is so versitile. This is one of the cards that we made at the class. I cased this idea from Tessa at splitcoaststampers.com. You can't tell in the picture, but I added Crystal Effects to the cherries. I just love this stuff, it really adds to a card. I love this colour combination. I tend to use Old Olive and So Saffron quite a bit and now Basic Gray has been added to my go to colors.

Stamp Sets: Crazy for Cupcakes
Ink: Black StazOn, Old Olive Marker, So Saffron Marker, Basic Gray Marker, Real Red Marker

Spotlighting Trees

This is the third card we made at the spotlighting class. I love this card. I think I might use it for one of my Christmas cards this year. I cased this card from Maggie's Mommy at splitcoaststampers.com. It is hard to tell in the picture but I put dazzling diamonds on the popped up tree. This just adds so much to the card.
