Hi Everyone!!!

This week I'm getting ready to do something New.... !!!

A dear friend of mine is a Creative Memories Consultant and she holds weekly and bi-weekly crops that I sometimes attend. 

Several times she has talked about having me teach a Card class for her..... willllll this weekend we're going to do it and Saturday will be my FIRST Card Class...

I hope I don't disappoint her and her ladies. 

I've already posed one card I'm going to do and here's another one...

Not sure where I got this card from but Thank You who ever it was that had it on there blog!!!!

This card was one of the first cards I made when I started making cards, so though it would be good for a beginner class.

Here's a close up of the medalion and I used a brad in the middle.

and here's the inside.......

Thru the years I've used this card several times, everyone loves it! 
I've used it to send Recipes to friends and family too...
Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!

 

No Flippin' today!

Just takin' a break from my Flippin' cards....

I needed to get some cards ready for my FIRST card class with me as the teacher (YEAKS!) this Saturday!!

So I'm going back over and remaking some samples. 

Here's one of the cards we'll be making.

and here's the inserts........

Just a little stamping some neat folds and two tangs/bookmarks.

Hope they like it!!

Thanks for stopping by again!

Never Ending Card

This week I was Blog Hoppin and came across a new blog and as always I checked out several pages of new blogs to see if theres anything I'd like to try.  I really which I could remember the blog I was visiting when I came across the Never Ending Card, and she even had a link on how to make it.  Here's the Link

it's a video but very easy to follow...

So anyway, I had to try it and this is what I came up with on my first try.  I know I'm going to make more of these but next time I'll have it planed it out a little better. 

This is the front.....

this is the first fold......

second view.......

Second fold.........

3 view.....

3 fold.......

forth view...... or the back of the card

4 fold......

and that takes you back to the front.... can you believe it????? 

Once you open this card you can't stop opening it... I have to do it at least 2 times every time I start.... it's addictive... really.

Don't be afraid...it may look difficult but believe me it's soooo easy to make...the hard part for me was decorating it.  I'm still not happy with this one but it's for me to use as my guide.  Now that I can see, feel, touch, I'll know better how to tackle my next one.  Just go to the link I have above and it will walk you thru it with all the measurements too.

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!

 

Catch of the Day

Morning!!

Today I made our oldest sons Birthday card.  It's not for a week but had to get it done before other things got going...

He love to fish so this was perfect I though.  This cute little bear out fishing and then the Old Men Rule back ground paper for fishing was just perfect.  The little bear is from the CTMH set Beary Best (C1363), and the Catch of the Day is from what else but Catch of the Day set (C1277). 

this is the inside.....

 Yep, it's an easel card... to cute!!!

Hope he likes it, bet he will with the gift card inside...we could put it in a folded piece of news paper.   That's an idea... maybe I'll try something later with news paper. 

Will that's it for today.

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!

Happy Birthday

Hi Again!!
Today I was playing around with a card I saw and finally got it to work. It's called an Easel Card, it's called that because when opened it holds the card front in place like an easel.
Check it out!!
This is the Front.
Here's the way it stands.

And here's the side view so you can see the easel affect.

Too Cute!! You can write your note on the uper part that would be hid when in the easel view...

I can see where the upper part could be used to put a gift card or money too!!

Will what do you think?? Like it right??

Hope you enjoyed!

Just the Tea Cup on the outside of this one is a sticker. Just love this one!

The dress on the inside of the Hat card is a sticker too! How cute!!
