More Easter Cards!
Here's the rest of the easter inspired cards we'll be making this Friday 10am-12pm and Saturday, 4pm-6pm
this image is probably my most favorite easter stamp. it's by memory box. it's an oversized tree, but i just stamped part of it and i colored in the eggs with pastel colors of copics and for the finishing touch, i used glossy accents on the eggs and outlined the cardstock in diamond glitter.
This next card i stamped some fun new blossoms by memory box in the background and stamped the cupcake by impression obsession and blinged it up!
this next card is fun, i used new flower soft colors for the carrot car and some new fun flowers by impress. the stamps are by impression obsession and american art stamps. i think the martha grass edger is a definite punch to get.. i have been using it on several cards, but this edger is also great for halloween.. you can punch it out in black!!!
please call the store at 916 487 2737 if you are interested in this class!

Easter card class --
Please join us for anothe fun easter card making class
Friday, April 1 10am-12pm and Saturday, April 2nd 4pm-6pm
here are 2 of the 6 projects you will make!
i thought it would be fun to make a banner to put up for your easter sunday brunch party, easter egg hunt or just to make your work cubicle brighter! it's even fun to put it on your fire mantle. the punch is the mint green marvy and purple marvy oval punches. i then strung the banner with fun twine!! so cheery! the banner was fast and easy to make.. you can make lots of friends and family.
the next card is also fun.. i used the pink oval marvy punch to make the basket and cut off the top to put more eggs inside. this fun daisy ribbon comes in about 20 different colors!
of course, the martha grass edger is a must .. especially during this time of the year! sentiment is new by memory box! we'll have more cards to inspire you.. i just have to make them! please call the store at 916 487 2737 if you are interested in this class!
