Happy Birthday, Brenda!

5/26/2012

Still not done with the flip card trick! Today's version features a birthday card for the lovely Brenda M - yay, Brenda!
Brenda is the gal who first introduced me to Stampin' Up!, by taking me along to a class by Julie U - who is now my upline! What a ride!
So back in that first class, Julie had a card using the then brand-spankin' new Tart & Tangy stamp set, along with the now long-retired Summer Picnic DSP. Brenda and I both have been faithful hoarders of this paper ever since. It seemed only fitting that I use up my last few scraps of the cherries DSP on Brenda's card - this one's for you, baby!

I have a new "card trick" that I'm totally in love with - the flip card fold! So fun - the card has a center piece, in the shape of your choice - that flips back and forth - so nifty! I liked putting an image on the front, with the sentiment behind. So dramatic!

For this month's class gift, I have everyone's new Catalog & Idea Book - woo hoo! Such a happy time of year! This catalog opens June 1 for orders, I already have my own list going, I can tell you!
To go along with it, I made everyone a bookmark, using the 2012-14 In Color suite: Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals, Summer Starfruit, Gumball Green & Midnight Muse, paired with their "fun" complimentary colors from the Color Coach swatch book - I like everyone to have an actual sample of new colors to consider!
Here are the instructions from tonight's class, as well - enjoy!

I don't know about you guys, but my birthday card stash is getting low! So, in honor of all the May birthdays around here (including mine!) May's class focuses on celebrating birthdays! We'll have a mix of old AND new (like from the New 12-13 Catalog & Idea Book, yay!), and the class will consist of 3 cards and one shadow box insert. I hope to have your new catties here for you as well! $20 includes all your supplies, but bring your fave adhesive and paper snips if you have them! Be sure to RSVP for May 17, 6:30 pm, so I can cut out all your CELEBRATE letters ahead of time for you! Let me know if you need a daytime class as well, I have plenty of availability for that next week. See you soon!

Double Pocket Appreciation

Everyone with children in school know that it's that time of year again - Appreciation Week! I've been busy making Pillow Box Treats for my schools teachers, and tokens of my gratitude for all the people that serve on my various boards with me. Here is a set of a nifty little item I learned to make at Phoenix Regionals this year - the double pocket card! So simple, made from a sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" paper, and when you use a double-sided DSP like I did here, you get twice the impact! These were fun to decorate - I included a grateful bookmark and a cup of coffee on me in my two "pockets."
I always use appreciation times as chances to whittle away at my retired stash of papers and accessories, too - I love to use these up in a good cause!

Flirtatious Specialty DSP (retiring VERY soon!), Elegant Soiree & Raspberry Tart DSP (retired); Melon Mambo, Soft Suede, Wisteria Wonder, Pretty in Pink, Daffodil Delight & Kiwi Kiss (retired) CS; various buttons and matching ribbons.
