Christmas Card Event

Today I held my 10 Christmas Cards + Breast Cancer Awareness Event! I remembered to take photos at the morning class, (sorry, not the afternoon class)

Both tables working very hard:


Lyn and Jan:


The pink themed morning tea, I think we all gained a dress size after eating this!


And the so scrumptious cupcakes that Sarah made and decorated:


This was my favourite card of the day:

I have used the very versatile Medallion stamp along with the Concord Crush and Pear Pizzazz in- colours.

Well, I hope all my ladies enjoyed themselves (I know I did) and now our Christmas cards are prepared!

Elegant Kindness

I believe this is called a "gate fold card." Simply a piece of A5 cardstock, just folded so that the 2 sides meet in the middle.
The softness of both colours- Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery, the pearls and the En Francais stamp, give a graceful and elegant feel. Do you agree?

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets: Echoes of Kindness, Heard from the Heart, En Francais
Card/Paper: Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Whisper White
Ink: Bashful Blue
Accessories: Bashful Blue marker, Certainly Celery marker, 1/4" Certainly Celery grosgrain ribbon, Mat Pack, Pretties Kit, Dazzling Diamonds

Crayon Resist Class Cards

These are the cards that we made at my crayon resist class last Thursday. It was a great evening. If you missed this class and would still like to learn this cool technique, email me and we'll schedule a date.
The first card is a bookmark card. The bookmark is folded over and attached with magnetic strips:
And the second card uses the stunning stamp set, Fifth Avenue Floral.


I love the colour combos on both of them: Rose Red, Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive and Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Basic Gray.

It's been great hearing about the Stampin' Up! convention. I would love to go one year.
