Cards from the July Class

Yes I know I'm running just a tad bit late with this. *wink* I wanted to post this before we left for vacation but just didn't have enough time.

These are the cards that we did in the July class. For those of you that might not know it I teach stamping classes in my home a couple of times a month. I have a really great group of ladies and they make doing the classes so much fun!!

This is the first card that we made. The CS is SU and the printed paper is from my stash (sorry not sure of the company, nothing is printed on the back). The stamps are from SU, Baroque Motifs and Warm Words. The sentiment on the inside is also SU but it's a retired one. I love this card! At first I thought OMGosh it is going to take forever to make this card but once you get your pieces cut it all goes together very quickly.

This is the front.

This is the second card we made. This is one of my favorite techniques for doing a background. It's kind of messy but so worth it!! I just love the distressed look and I love to play around with different color combos too.
All of the CS is SU. The large background stamp is from Hampton Art Stamps. The word stamps are from Clear Stamps.
This is the last card that we made and it is sooooooo easy, but they all loved it!! It doesn't show up very well in the picture but the embossed paper has pearlex on it. It gives it such a pretty shimmer. The embossed paper was done using a Cuttlebug embossing folder and running it through the Wizard. The CS is all SU. The stamp is SU , Baroque Motifs. Here is another card, this is one that we made at my SU Open House for the New Catty. Another Baroque Motifs card *wink*--can you tell I love this set!!! It is so easy to work with! This is what I would call a stamper friendly stamp set. It's a set that would be wonderful no matter what level you are at with stamping, even for someone who is just beginning.

One of the ladies that came to the open house brought a friend with her and she had done a little bit of stamping but it had been several years ago and she just couldn't believe how easy it was to make this card!!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you enjoy the cards and have a great start to a new week!!
