February Card Making with the Group

Sue brought this lovely cherry blossom design for us to make together.

We stamped with Staz-On on vellum.

With a coordinating background behind the vellum

the soft markers deepened.

A lovely card for spring!

Jean brought a surprise--a masculine project for all.

The Anna Griffin collection "For the Boys" made beautiful cards, each different.

Bonnie brought a card with a beautiful bouquet.

Could even be a Valentine card!

We ran out of time for the two other kits,

but we'll do them next month!

Be My Valentine!

Two versions of a vellum Mason jar design.  One for a 2 year old.

And one for a 5 year old.

Cute design variations span the age gap.

New Life for Some Old Card Kits

I needed some birthday cards in a hurry.  This card was already made, but lacked embellishment and a sentiment.  That's a candle 3-D sticker, a stamped sentiment and a stamped and glittered confetti pattern on the tabs of the tri-fold card.  Some jazz!

This kit had a gray card base and a plain white top.  I embossed the white top with a crackle folder.

Then added some pennants using the scraps in the kit.  With twine hung between eyelets and a silver die-cut sentiment, it now has some pizzazz and yet can still be masculine or feminine.

Moral: Save those incomplete cards or kits!
