The card today is one made by one of my friends and fellow demos, Kathy Morgan, for the Orlando Leadership swaps. Hope you enjoy it. It’s really unique and as always, a beautiful card.

This is one of the last cards our Cards Galore students made. It features the little set “Bella’s Bloom” . It’s a nice set for making small gift cards. I used some of the Haiku DP (now retired, but new ones are very interchangeable). The card is accented with one of our Flower brads. I cased it from a card submitted to our SU website, but I thought a “knot of ribbon” was a bit bulky, so that’s where I redesinged the card and added the brad. This is an example of “coloring with markers” so you can get multiple colors on your stamp before stamping.

This is another card the Cards Galore class had in their stash of cards. This is an ongoing monthly class where each person makes 10 cards, 2 ea of 5 different designs. That way they can keep one and give one, or give both. Each month the theme and cards change, so you’ll end up with over 100 cards if you come every month.

I used the new Sweet Stems stamp. The layout was actually cased from one I saw online, but I changed up the ribbon and it’s placement and added a little sweet stems stamping to the background. Colors used were barely banana, riding hood red, whisper white, and kiwi cardstock. The images were stamped with black stazon and then colored with markers in pumpkin, olive, and regal rose. The ribbon is the new Kiwi and Vanilla satin two sided ribbon.
