Christmas in February
Many of you know that I hold a Christmas card class once a month January - November. If you attend each session - you'll have a total of 44 cards ready to go :) It is always a really popular class. This month I made a super sparkly card - and the ladies LOVED it! It uses the Night in Bethlehem set with the coordinating edgelits - both on the Carry Over list and still available from the Occasions catalog. The layer of buildings in the back is Basic Gray to look more shadowy. Then we used our Silver Glimmer paper for the front part of the village; and the star. Just how beautiful is that!
We lightly sponged the light blue sky with Marina Mist to give it a twilight feel - and Mary, Joseph and the donkey are popped up in front with dimensionals.
This is one of my favorite Christmas cards I've made, and I came home and made 10 more for my personal stash. My next class is on March 20th - so let me know if you'd like to join us. Each month features two new card designs. Full details are in my Upcoming Sections Page - link at the top of this page. ~Maureen

Inside the Lines DSP
So I've been having fun making cards with the Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper from Sale-a-bration; and SU's amazing watercolor pencils. I just cut out squares of images from the paper and watercolored and just look how pretty they look on these cards.
I really love the floral design elements, and there are many -
And being able to color and blend the pencils - is a breeze -
This final one got a couple added - sparkly butterflies -
I know this paper is no longer available - but I am so excited that there is new coloring DSP in our brand new SU! catalog that begins on June 1 - so stay tuned!! See you soon. ~Maureen

Post SAB share
Hi All - I know Sale a bration this year is over - but I had to share this cute TEAM card I made. It uses the FREE SAB Medallion set and the SAB glimmer paper. These pictures don't really do it justice.
It's a combo of the Mint Macaron and the Bermuda Bay glimmer.
I love the medallion builder - just look how great that comes together.
Aren't they beautiful - I just have to make some more and to me that little glimmery butterfly just finishes it off.
See you all soon!! ~Maureen

March Club 2 - Baby Wipe Technique
The baby wipe technique is such a fun and easy way to get lots of color onto a stamped image. This month in my Technique Club #2 here in Prescott - it was the technique we learned. Here is the technique card we added to our binder -
Above we did several colors on our baby wipe and made the balloons - every one that you stamp looks different. And below is he actual greeting card we made with the technique.
For the card we made a baby wipe palette of about five different colors (more than usual but we were only stamping once or twice, so it didn't get muddied.) After stamping our verse - we cut out a beautiful butterfly with pink glimmer paper and added it with a few glue dots.
The glue dots were only on the body of the butterfly allowing the wings to pop up a bit, and give the card some dimension.
Just love the final look of this beautiful spring card. See you soon! ~Maureen

Twinkle Twinkle - Babies are the best!!
This is the second card we made at my March's Cards and Coffee and I just love it! Isn't that sweet baby sleeping on the moon the best! Especially love those little glimmer stars lighting up the sky! (Unfortunately that color of glimmer paper is no longer available - but you can color the silver with re-inkers and aqua painter - just check out YouTube for instructions!)
We had a lot of fun water coloring with SU's new watercolor pencils and blender pens. Make's it just so easy. Everyone can be a watercoloring pro!
Below is the inside of the cards with the rest of that darling little saying and few little stars -
and here are a few I did after class - you can see the water coloring is a bit different on each - adding to their uniqueness. Plus, I messed up on one, so had to cut around the star and have it hang over the blue layer - but I still love it.
Maybe I love these so much because I am expecting grandchild #8 the end of June and it's gonna be a boy! Can't wait to meet that new little guy!! See you soon. ~Maureen
