Technique Class Cards

Card #1 PEEK-THRU PUNCH RIBBON CARD. Customers chose one of three In Colors, the "Merry Christmas" card was just a sample showing another possibility of what could be done with this technique.   I saw this card demonstrated at Convention and knew I just had to try it. It's perfect with this month's ribbon promotion!

sets- Sassy Sayings
cs- whisper white 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", 4" square of primrose petals, summer starfruit, or midnight muse
ink- IC markers
access- blossom punch, dimensionals, white gel pen (mine had dried out, so we substituted either white wwc or versamarker and white ep), coordinating IC satin stitched ribbon

Convention Swaps, chocolate


This card is making me hungry! It's by Olive Barnes, a member of the Inkerbelles group I'm in.

:( I really feel like stamping today, but can't because our carpets were cleaned. Hopefully they'll dry quickly!

Happy Stamping! Mary

Convention Swaps, Stained Glass Technique


I love this swap I received at Convention from Terry Morrelli. I want to recreate it in a class since I have almost everything she used! I don't think I have ever taught the stained glass technique, either, so that would be fun.
