Big Yellow Flower Fest

Don’t you love this BIG Flower Fest flower. We were trying to decide what type of flower this really is in one my classes. I think we finally all decided it was some type of Chrysanthemum. Whatever it is, I love it! It’s the perfect size to be a focal point. This stamp set has great leaves, too.

I chose my leftover Bashful Blue Paisley Petals pattern for this card. The neutral Crumb Cake and Whisper White CS makes a nice subtle background for the bold red, black and yellow. The Old Olive leaves also soften the bold colors. I used the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set for the sentiment.

 Hope that you’re having a wonderful day!

Organic Flower Fest

So what makes this card “organic”? My son! I always get my family’s response and input to the cards I make because they’re pretty honest and aren’t worried about hurting my feelings. I appreciate the truth! When I set this card out for some input, my son told me he liked the organic look to the card, so the “organic” name stuck :-)

This is the third card we made in April’s stamp class. I stamped the BIG flower from the Flower Fest stamp set onto the peachy colored Paisley Petals DSP to create the focal point for this card. The Stripe embossing folder on the card front and Pool Party band gave the card some texture. I love texture!!

I’m going to miss this fun stamp set…I hope that the new catalog has a great replacement for the Flower Fest stamp set.

See you next time!!

Friday Blogger's Challenge

I'm joining the Friday Blogger's Challenge with my Red, White and Blue Wish Big! The theme is masculine cards, so there's a bunch of fun cards and masculine ideas for you to view.

I know I already posted this card last week, but this is one of the cards we'll be making this Tuesday for my Masculine-Patriotic themed class, so thought I'd repost it and join in the blog hop, too. BTW, I still have available spots in my evening class if you'd like to join us.
List Mom LISA's Blog is HERE.  You can join in the blog hop by linking below.

Another Fancy Fold share

How about this Get Well card? Pretty clever, don't you think? I wish that I could take credit for the  Gatefold idea, but it came from an old magazine. I thought the fold would make a great Get Well card.  I love how the ribbon is used as a bathrobe tie to keep the card closed and the Sunny Garden DSP creates a cheery look. Click Here for a link to the tutorial for creating the fold for this card.

I also created a digital Word doc sentiment for the inside, for those that would like to add a "Get Well" sentiment to their cards.  What a great card to send to someone who's under the weather.

I taught this class at Tumbleweed Recreation Center a few days ago, but I'm offering it again at my house Tuesday, May 17 at 3 different times (10 AM; 1:30 PM; 7 PM). If you'd like to join any of the classes, email me at (heiditek@cox.net) and let me know which class time you're interested in. Class fee is $12.

I'd love to have you join us!

May's Fancy Fold Card Class

I named this month's card class Fancy Fold, as we'll be trying out some fun paper folding techniques to create this month's cards. I also created a video for the Secret Message card, which I'll share later this month. The first card I'm sharing is the Scallop Easel Card which Adriel designed using the Springtime Vintage DSP, which I loved! So glad that I bought the MDS Springtime Vintage digital download  for this paper, since it's long gone with the Occasion Mini catalog... but I've still got it because I have the download. (smiles!) This is good news for those of you who have My Digital Studio...the DSP is available as a download.

I taught this class at Tumbleweed Recreation Center yesterday, but I'm offering it again at my house Tuesday, May 17 at 3 different times (10 AM; 1:30 PM; 7 PM). If you'd like to join any of the class, email me at (heiditek@cox.net) and let me know which class time you're interested in. Class fee is $12.

I'd love to have you join us!

Reinker Butterfly Pansy Technique

We taught our Flower Embellishment class this past week and promised a video tutorial for the Reinker Pansies we made. We saw this technique shared last year on several other blogger's sites and couldn't wait to try out the technique for ourselves. This technique definitely creates a "Wow!" for any card or scrapbook page.



Thanks for visiting us...See you next time!

Brayered Just Believe

From Heidi...

I love this stamp set "Just Believe". The set includes sentiments that I will actually use, little frames for words, and small and large foliage, which is why I chose it for this brayered card. As I've been admiring other stamper's work, I combined several little pieces of a bunch of different ideas and put them together to create this brayered and then texture embossed card. This is the second brayered card we'll making on Tuesday, 1/4, Creative Cardmaking class (308TW.231/309TW.231) at Tumbleweed Recreation Center.

This week the Two Happy Stampers will be busy working on a couple of custom Etsy orders. It will be a nice change of pace having Adriel and the kids over and getting a chance to work together. We don't get too many of those days right now, so I'm looking forward to this week. Thanks for visiting us and we hope that you're having a great start to your week.

Dreaming of Cards

From Heidi...I know this sounds weird, but I wake up with pictures of cards in my mind...Yikes! Most of the time I never get around to making all the cards in my mind, but this card that I woke up with the other morning became a "real" card. It went together really fast and was a lot of fun to make.
On another note, on Tuesday I taught the masking cards at Tumbleweed that Adriel created for this month. All the sponging and shimmer spritzing was a lot of fun! We're teaching this class again next week at my house...woohoo! Join us if you can. Thanks for stopping by and visiting us!
