Advanced Card Class - Card 1
Sharing one of the two cards we made last month at my Coffee and Advanced Cards class. I focused on using one of my very favorite retiring sets and framelits - Botanical Blooms and Botanical Builder Framelit Dies. Really I am so sad that these are now gone - I have made so many beautiful cards - just can't seem to go wrong with these. So this first card is a gatefold card with a belly band. We used VersaMark ink on the background to leave that great watermark.
Then also continued it down the center under the sentiment. You can see here how the card opened. You just slide the belly band off and it opens in the center.
Here is a bit more of a side view. We layered the flowers and leaves so they were all attached only to the belly band and also slide right off with it. Added a few pearls or gems (their choice) for a finishing touch. The card was scored to fold and become a 5.5" x 4 1/8" - slightly narrower than our norm. This allows it to fit a regular envelope without being crunched.
Finally - here is the finished card and envelope - crying just a few tears here as this set goes. But I'm not ready to part with the set or framelits just yet. So you may see a few more creations :)
See you all soon ~Maureen

Personal Post Monday - a week in the life - lol!
So this past week I have been busy! We finished planting the garden, took care of sick kiddos, I had a couple stamp classes, I'm getting ready for my new catalog Open House this coming Sunday - but I managed to do a few other things too! I got in some stamping - made these cute cards out of a package of pre-printed "Thank You" notes I had. SU's Botanical Builder Framelits make it so easy and quick to make these beautiful flowers with a tropical feel.
Can never have too many thank you notes!
Also wanted to get some of that floral feel done on my house - so I made up 9 of these beautiful hanging baskets for my front porch. If you follow me on facebook you've already seen them. I really love the feel they give the house.
Also made up some other cute little flower arrangements for my front porch to bring some freshness and color.
Soon we're going to be getting so new rockers for the porch so we can sit there and relax - so looking forward to that. Hope you Monday is relaxing and your week is off to a great start! See you soon! ~Maureen
