Expressions of Faith Class--NEW THIS SUMMER!

I am so excited to share this new class with you..... It has been on my heart for some time to do a class featuring verses of scripture in the projects and I am glad so say the time has come!

Make these great projects on Thursday June 12 from 10am-Noon or 6-8pm and the cost is only $10!!!! Can't make this date or live long distance? Have the class kit sent to you in the mail for $10 + shipping!

Transform this:

into this awesome wall hanging that holds photos/cards around the edge..... The verse is from Philippians 1:3.Simply tuck them around the sides using the petals to hold them, as shown below. Great way to display pictures of your loved ones or to keep cards from friends close at hand!
You will also be making a magnetic dry erase board using Psalm 118:24.

Live your faith out loud! Register for this class or have it sent to you! Deadline to register/order is June 10.

Fresh Cut Notes... A MUST Have!

Beginning in June, you have an opportunity to get a sneak peek of a new stamp set and new die cut notes that will debuting in the Fall/Winter Idea Book & Catalog in August 2008! Here is a picture of the new set... Fresh Cut....

This set will be available to order for only $21.95 during the month of June.... AND when you purchase the stamp set, you will get a pack of Fresh Cut Notes (15 4x4 diecut notecards/envelopes) for only $5 (reg. $8.95). BE A HOSTESS DURING JUNE and get BOTH FOR FREE with a qualifying* workshop!

Here are the die cut notes... and some fun samples using them!

Remove the die cut petals.......And you're ready for fun.... how about these great ideas:

Take the petals that you punched out and attach them to the die cut petals on the card.

Continue tucking the petals around the die cut flower like below.

Your finished flower will be 3-dimensional like the one below:
If you color the petals before you attach them, like I did with soft sky ink and a sponge, then your finished flower will look like the one below. I added a 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 piece of soft sky designer series paper to the back of the card front so it would show through the front, creating more depth.

Here's a closeup of the flower:
Cool technique 'eh? I loved it and knew you would too!


Here's another idea... using glitter as an accent.....

I applied 2-way glue to the edges of the die cut flower and sprinkled dazzling diamonds glitter over top. I then stamped the small flower image in pomegranate, cut it out and attached it to the center of the die cut flower with a rhinestone brad from the pretties kit. Then I stamped the background image on 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 piece of white cardstock using purely pomegranate ink, attaching to back of cardfront using dimensionals so it shows through to the front. Add ribbon and a greeting, and viola..... gorgeous card!

Here's a closeup:

One more:

Here I used the paper piercer and mat from the tool kit to pierce holes around the die cut flower.


Then, I used the brayer with groovy guava ink to change the color of the front of the card... Make sure to put a piece of scrap paper inside the card so the ink doesn't get on the inside... OR you could leave the petals in the card, brayer it, then punch out the petals.... that way they would be colored and ready to make a 3D flower like the one earlier in this post. DUH! Wish I would have thought about that BEFORE I made mine!
Add a felt flower from the flower fusions accents and some olive twill ribbon and bam... another card completed!!!! Up Close:
I will be featuring the die cut notes and stamp set at all my June parties! Make sure to schedule yours today so you can be the first to have one for yourself!
