GREAT CLASS TONIGHT

Tonight I had a FABULOUS CLASS at my house!  I had 5 lovely ladies come for the first time.  They had a wonderful time and we made some great cards. Some of the cards were brand new ideas I came up with .  One was a repeat card from class last week (my all occasions class).  I would like to share these ideas with you also and so I'll do that today and tomorrow.  Almost all of the cards and papers are from the SU! Summer Mini Catalog which is ending on August 31st. So if you see anything you like, you may want to pick it up before it goes. 

Here is the first card that we did.  I used the stamp set sweet scoops. This is a card CASE from Dawn Olchefske - a truly remarkable SU! stamper. She made a similar card with different colors for the SU! Cruise Swap.  And just below is the envelope and inside of the card.  The Birthday sentiment is from the new stamp set in the Idea Book called Perfect Punches.  Do you like how the ice cream scoops are highlighted with dazzling diamonds glitter?  Got that idea from Dawn also!

This card was another card with the same design just a different stamp set.  This set is tropical party - another set in the summer mini catalog.  Love this set.  If you like it too...pick it up by the end of the month.  The dsp in both of these cards is Island Oasis and it is retiring paper as of 8/31.  That will be the last day to get that dsp.  It is really neat to change card stock papers and dsp to make different cards.

Here is another card we made tonight.  This one is a total Maria Pane original.  I used the Island Oasis dsp. (This dsp is so versatile) and the under $10 stamp All a Flutter, which is NOT in the new Idea Book.  This is a single stamp for $6.95, so a good one to add to your collection.  The card stock is old olive and tempting turquoise.  I used smooch paint on the butterfly and 2 whiffs of smooch spray in the gold over the stamped image and the card.  You can see the spritz without enlarging the card, but if you click on this card (or any card) you can see it in greater detail.  The swirl and sentiment are from another Summer mini catalog stamp set called Elements of Style.  That set is in the new idea book.

 Pictured below are all of the designs in the Tropical Oasis dsp we used tonight.

Ok, 2 more cards tomorrow.
