Hi everyone,
Now I have a funny one to tell you. Phyllis another friend of mine sent me 2 cards in the mail I received them today. Do you remember when I posted my stitch swatches that I had done with my new sewing machine? Well, she printed the pictures of it and got the clever idea to use it for flower containers or commonly called vases. Take a look at them:
Last year we had a good time making home made paper in class and in Phyllis's garage a whole day among friends. I had so much teaching the basics of making paper 101 that we all caught the bug and wanted to make more and try different techniques colors and fibers...
So she sent me this card which is the handmade paper she had left from our get together. Anyhow can you recognize the vase part? Pretty clever of you Phyllis. I like this card so very much. Of course when I see Peel Offs I am sold! hee hee.
So I invite any of you to go and get that swatch of stitches I had made, print it out and with your punches experiment with it. Just Like Phyllis did!
Now there comes the second beauty!
This one is also gorgeous, it makes me want Spring to get here yesterday! This is such
a colorful card, the colors are balanced, it looks like everything belong where it is without a doubt. Phyllis and Jo Anne have inspired me to make more cards again. Thank you my friends.
Thank you Phyllis for sharing your beautiful cards as well. I am so happy to be able to post them.
Just added this one as it is Phyllis's class version of the gold embossed square it is also very pretty. She added the turquoise background shimmer paper so it is making this card look more expensive. I too love to finish cards at home from a class because I can use all of my embellishments and dress it up a little better, good job Phyllis...
Before I forget I have another beautiful card to post. Jo Anne found the resistor that was the main item on the card so she was searching for it and sent me the card last night. So here it is. That is her 10th card she made in a local class with other friends.
I like a card that has the irresistable look. I think it is also very nice. Al the 10 cards were made in about 3 hours. Impressive.
Thanks for finding the resistor Jo Anne! :)
On another note, I have a lot of pictures of Stampin'Up cards to post. I will bring a few up tonight in a next post. Keeping the topics separate for easier read and viewing. So come back soon!
