The Bee's Knees

This is the thank you card I designed for Nora's "I Bee Three" birthday.  I think making these helped me recover from how un-bee-lievable it is that she is growing up so fast!  I used the ornament punch for the base of the bee, and the large oval for the black stripes.  The medium (now small) oval for the wings and the 1" circle for the bee's head.  The stamps are the new delicate doilies set and they just seemed to want to bee in this card!

Have a buzzin' day!

Kindness Matters Even When You're Creative

 These are the featured cards for my September card class.  Don't you just love them?

 This card uses the Creative Elements Stamp set and an array of beautiful bright and subtle colors.  This elegant card can be used for any occasion!

 

This simple black and white card uses what may be by favorite new set from the new catalog-Kindness Matters and an new old favorite, four frames.  Click on this card, and you will see subtle colors on the butterfly and embellishments.  We will use pastels to achieve this subtle effect.

 

This card was designed to give you a jump start on your holiday card making and if you attend class you will make two of these at no additional charge.  This features the Comfort and Joy stamp set from the brand new mini and  also uses the new pewter embossing powder.  I plan to pre-emboss the card for you so that you can learn the emboss-resist technique.  Isn't it gorgeous?

I sincerely hope you can make it to class to create these beautiful cards!

When:  Wednesday, September 21, 2011
Times:  9:30 am or 7:00pm you choose
Where:  My home 1613 Woodstream Lane, Allen, TX
