First, before I get to the cards…I’d like to apologize for not posting the past few days… I took a fall and didn’t think I had been hurt, but my neck and shoulders have been in pain the past few days… more than usual… so I’ve just been able to hold my classes and that’s about it!! sorry folks… I’ll try to behave myself and not fall again for a while!! But boy those paramedics who came out to help me out… wow.. too bad my daughter was in class and didn’t get to check em out!! hehehehee..
Ok…Now down to business!!
This month all our beautiful Designer Papers are going away for good….. and new ones will take their place in July in our new catalog. I taught a class last weekend using the retiring set SIMPLE FRIENDSHIP. The ladies all wanted to make their sets in different colors, one using CONCORD CRUSH and LAP OF LUXURY dsp, one using CHOCOLATE CHIP and the old Bella Blue papers, and one using POPPY PARADE with SUNNY GARDEN papers. I’ve included some sample pictures showing the different colors. But I also wanted to use a CURRENT stamp set that is NOT retiring with the CONCORD CRUSH and Lap of Luxury papers. Those papers coordinate so nicely with Concord Crush and the NEW Wisteria In-color available beginning in July. Here they are!!
this one used Rich Razzleberry for the colors
now here is the “rework” using Hope and Strength, Fabulous Florets with the Concord Crush and Wisteria Wonder
A close up of “bling” on the flowers……and how I used both colors on the flowers… cool huh! 
If you LOVE the purples…. you can still order the LAP OF LUXURY paper while it’s still here!! ORDER HERE for the Lap of Luxury paper while it’s still available! While you’re looking, there are a bunch of OTHER gorgeous papers going away for GOOD!
Anyone ordering a $50 or more order from me over the next 11 days (til the end of June), I will give you the Tutorial for making this beautiful Portfolio and cards!!
If you’d like to order a KIT to make this portfolio and cards, you can specify Purple (using Lap of Luxury), Red/Saffron (using Sunny Garden), or Browns (using the chocolate tones and Bella Blue (already retired but I have enough for a couple kits)), then order BELOW and specify your desired color!! All kits come with all pieces marked, and a CD with the tutorial. If you are ordering a kit including the SIMPLE FRIENDSHIP stamp set, please do it before 30 June 2011, as sometimes it’s hard to get an order in on the LAST day!! EVERYONE tries to get orders in at the last minute and sometimes we can’t get through to order!! So order NOW!! If you select the Strength and Hope Kit, I will include extra instructions for using the Strength and Hope, and Fabulous Florets stamp sets.
