Everyone loves to receive a sweet card in the mail, and that’s the purpose behind tomorrow’s card class. My friends will enjoy making one of each of these six cards, and check this out: I’m keeping the class time down to TWO hours! Yep, I am. I’m trying out something new, and preparing as much as I can in advance. Most of the work is assembly but the ladies will get to use the Big Shot and enjoy learning some special techniques as we go.
I’m excited to share what I love with friends who enjoy creating as much as I do.
So it’s off to card class I go, with my Big Shot doctor’s bag, a basket of tools and a bag full of supplies.
I’ll share some finished projects when we’re done!
Oh, and by the way, classes will be held every other Tuesday, so if you’re local, let me know and I’ll save you a seat!
Here’s another super cute notepad! Supplies came from my stash, and most is Stampin’ Up. Though some is discontinued, you can make it too! Just dig out some of your favorite papers, embellishments and maybe print some imagery from the web!
A quick share tonight- I’m pretty tired after traveling to the GrandLittle’s birthday!
Today’s technique is CASEd (copy and share everything) from www.stampwithtami.com
It’s a chalkboard effect Valentine’s Day card.
What did I use? Well, here we go:
Stampin’ Up! (SU) cardstock, SU Cherry Cobbler heat embossing powder, SU Hearts A Flutter bundle, SU Tiny Tags clear mount stamps, SU Elements Cute Clips, SU Whisper White ink, Pen-Touch white paint pen.
That’s it! Easy peasy.
Thanks for stopping by and God bless!

My GrandLittle turns four today and is he ever the super hero fan! I’m pretty sure he is the “real” Spider-Man – among others, such as Batman, Captain America, etc.
So as we celebrate Asher today, I decided to make this card for him.
Of course, there is a story to go with it… It seems that Bear is in training to be a super hero and, well, Spidey got the best of him! As a result, Bear is all tangled up in Spidey’s web.
The video version is right here!
Here’s what I used to make this super cute card:
Action Wobble Springs (I LOVE creating with these!), Stampin Up! (SU) cardstock, SU Apothecary Accents Framelits, SU Big Shot embossing machine, SU Cloudy Day embossing folder, SU Cherry Cobbler heat embossing powder, SU Tombow adhesive, SU Happiest Birthday Wishes clear mount stamps, SU Baker’s Twine, Cricut die cutting machine, Cricut Teddy Bear Parade cartridge and I upcycled an image of Spider-Man by cutting it from some packaging.
I used VersaMark ink to stamp my sentiment and heat embossed the powder. You can see the raised, shiny effect that heat embossing provides. I love to use this method. It is fascinating to see it change from powder to finished image!
I cut the sentiment by using Stampin’ Up’s Apothecary Accents Framelits, but I left one edge straight so I could hook it on the card by a tab.
This is how I store my Framelits- there is a magnetic sheet that holds the metal dies in place.
Here’s the Cricut cartridge I used
Whew! That’s a lot of info! But what a fun card- my GrandLittle has an awesome sense of humor, so I know he will crack up when he sees this!
Y’all have a blessed day, and thanks for visiting!
God bless,
Kathy Bo

I made this little notepad with Stampin Up Designer Series Papers, cardstock, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder and punches. Here’s how it turned out:
The inside features a notepad and pen. The pen has a bit of Velcro to keep it in place.
Here are the items I used to create this super cute and easy gift! International Bazaar Designer Series Paper
Brights collection card stock
Elegant Butterfly punch
Scallop Circle punches
A bit of vellum
Rhinestone Basic Jewels!
And this embossing folder
I found the little spiral notepad at WalMart and used a heat knife to cut the plastic case
And the case? It’s the same ones our clear mount stamps come in! I love these little cases!
Almost forgot: the scallop edge border punch!
Add a bit of TomBow Multi glue, snail adhesive, and some great music (Adele on Pandora is pretty much the standard in my studio) and you have fun while creating a great gift to share!
Here it is: choose anything on this flyer for FREEBERS when you place a $50 order from me (that’s before taxes and shipping, of course). You might wanna hurry… time’s a wastin’ and it’s all over on Friday, March 22!
