Merry Rejoicing & A Pop-Up Class!

Oh wow - Merry Monday #107 is an actual sketch this week!  At first glance, it looks like a challenge, too - time to break this baby down!
Since SU! (and I mean this in the nicest possible way, with love in my heart!) isn't even pretending to include holiday stamps in the main catalog anymore (and I know this because I have your new catalogs waiting for you!), I have now totally lost all residual guilt I feel about browsing my retired stamp sets for this challenge, lol.  One of my old faves, that totally didn't see enough ink, is this one, Rejoicing With You - love that partyin' angel! 
While I was at first intimidated by the tricky layers in this sketch, I decided to take my usual liberties with shapes, and arrived at a finished card that I actually liked!  I even got to make two, so you could see the inside sentiment!  Woo hoo!
Rejoicing With You (retired) Stamp Set; Smoky Slate, Whisper White & Island Indigo CS; Winter Frost DSP Pack (retired); Versamark, Island Indigo & Smoky Slate Inks; Silver Embossing Powder; Apothecary Accents & Ovals Collection Framelits; Occasions Piercing Template; Frosted Finishes Embellishments (retired).

Pop-Up Card Class May 15!

Wow - I can't believe I almost forgot to post our class for next week, too!  Yikees!  This class is all about Pop-Up cards, like the first sample you can see over here to the side!
We'll be making 4 cards, that all fold flat and fit in standard envelopes, but pop up and out to yummy goodness on the inside!  We'll be doing "portrait" and "landscape" cards both, for a little variety, and one card will be all about our new In Colors, so you'll have some samples right away, to go with your amazing new catalog that will be waiting here for you!  I can't wait for you to try these cards - you'll be stunned at how fun they are to deck out!  I'll keep posting the other samples - keep checking back!
So, class is announced for Thursday, May 15, 6:30 pm, chez Heroldt, with snacks and drinks as usual, of course, still for $20!  RSVP today to make sure I have your supplies cut and waiting for you!
I am also delighted to schedule a convenient day-time class for those that prefer, or a Saturday as well, just let me know, and we'll get our calendars aligned for whatever works for you best!!
