Class card #1- Tunnel Anniversary

I held a class on Tuesday and had 16 beautiful ladies attend! Unfortunately I only got a pic of the 4 from the afternoon class. Sorry girls, I'm slacking in my photo ops dept!

Onto the card.

The first card in this class was CASEd from a lovely card that was mailed to me for my birthday. Lori Helvick is the creator and you can visit her blog here.  The card I CASEd is here. Isn't it Lovely???!!! Lori does beautiful work!

And here is my rendition of Lori's card:

I started with an 8 ½" x 5 ¼" piece of So Saffron Cardstock and stamped the vine image from the Grateful Bunch stamp set in So Saffron ink on the front. I adhered an 8 ¼"x 5" sheet of Whisper White Cardstock to the So Saffron after stamping the sentiment from the Grateful Bunch in the center. Then I scored it on my Stampin' Trimmer and adhered it to the card base. Next I took an  8 ¼"x 5" piece of Flirty Flamingo, scored it at 4 ¼" and from both ends at 2 1/8" then I centered my Layered Oval Framelits over the center line and ran it through my Big Shot - keeping the oval to use on the front of the card. Then I added some interest to the right side of the Flirty Flamingo using an embossing folder.

The front was done with the Layering Oval Framelits, Number of Years Stamp Set, Flower Shop stamps and coordinating Pansy Punch, Petite Petals Punch and Peek-A-Boo Peach Ruched Ribbon.

Thank you for stopping by. I would love to hear from you just to know someone is reading my blog :)

Happy Stamping!

Anniversary Card

Good morning stampers! It is really humid here in Illinois today. The forecast is stormy so it's a great day to be in the craft room.

Today I'd like to share the card I made for hubby for our anniversary.

I started with a Night of Navy cardstock base. I stamped one of the Timeless Textures stamps on the background  with Night of Navy ink and wrapped it in a piece of Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon. 

I cut out one of the Layering Circle Framelit Dies in Chocolate Chip CS using my Big Shot. I also cut out one of the Sweet & Sassy Framelit Dies from the Affectionately Yours DSP with the Big Shot. I heat embossed the numbers from the Number of Years stamp set  in Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder and cut them out with the Large Numbers Framelits on the Big Shot. 

The Happy Anniversary Sentiment is also from the Number of Years stamp set; stamped in Chocolate Chip ink inside the Thoughtful Banners stamp and punched out with the Duet Banner Punch. The "I Love You" sentiment in the card is also from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set. 

I hope you've enjoyed today's card. Have a wonderful day. 

Happy Stamping!
