What have I been doing the past month?
Earlier this month I completed the sale of my home and the purchase of a new one. I have settled in now and have just about unpacked all my cardmaking/scrapbooking supplies. Today, I taught a cardmaking class at a local craft group and here are the cards I designed especially for the class. Whilst waiting for all attendees to get to the class, I like to get students to make a gift card of some sort. This week it was a 3" x 3" card. They made only one card. The butterfly stamp is from Penny Black and the flower card is Stampin' Up! (r) (SU) Elements of Style set. You stamp across the card, fold, add a bit of bling and a greeting - a quick and easy card. The next card, of which there are many variations around in blog land, uses punched edges (or decorative scissors) to create a ruffled look to the card. This design could be used for birthday, wedding or thank you cards. It is a simple card but it does take a little time to punch all the edges....
