March Class Follow-Up

 Hey Everybody,

Thank you once again for another fun-filled and learning-filled week of classes.

 I have Friday's class this week since we celebrated Mia's 3rd birthday Friday. 

I love spending time with you and learning from your experiences.

Blessings,

Sue

March Class Follow-Up

 AC=Annual    SC=Spring Catalog    SAB=Sale-a-Bration Catalog

On=Online Exclusives found here

Links to products are in bold print.

Stampin’ Up now has a blog full of great information and ideas. Here is the link.


Products Discussed In Some Classes:

Zip Glue Pen-Use for zipper card for application of an adhesive on metallic cardstock.

Fine tip glue bottle tips to restrict the flow of glue

·        New or Revisited Ideas: 

Add color to embossed images with blending brushes. Layer darker colors on top of lighter colors as we did in Card 1 with the hibiscus flowers. Add a bit of marker to highlight details on flowers.


Cut ribbon shorter than your card front and cut ends on a diagonal to make them stand out as in card 1.


Purchase white ribbon and color it with alcohol markers to match your projects.
Use Versamark ink (which is a clear watermark ink) for a tone on tone look to add to your background as we did in Card 2.


Use a bone folder on cardstock as though you are curling ribbon. Go back and forth doing both sides. Cardstock will pull apart and you will have a soft, suede like look for your paper as we did in card 4 for the pockets.

Ribbon Holder- Check out Brenda Quintana's video for keeping spools of ribbon from unwinding. She has a pdf file as well on her blog.  Keep in mind you can use a circle punch and punch a couple of times to make opening larger for ribbon. You don't need a slot punch.

We now have opportunities to donate cards to three different facilities

Stamping Opportunities:

     1. Southwest General Hospital -Cards are placed on meal trays. 

(No envelope is needed. Stamp something on the inside please.)

Get Well, Thinking of You, Hang in there, Baby, Holiday cards.

2. Broadview Multi-Care Facility- Cards for residents and staff to use.

(Envelopes needed and stamp something on the inside please.)

Birthday for adults and kids, Get Well, Sympathy, Thinking of you, Holiday

3.  Hillcrest Hospital Cancer Floor

Encouragement, Birthday and Sympathy.  (No envelopes needed-blank inside.)

Thanks so much for your continued support of these ministries.

             Thank you to those who made cards this month. They are so grateful to you for sharing your talents and love with them.
