Classic Garage; May's Class Kit to Go!

The Classic Garage suite of products is one of those sets you'll keep around for a long time.  I think many of us struggle to design masculine cards.  Most of us love our flowers and pretty things!  But this bundle sure fits the bill and makes creating manly cards easy!  

The Classic Garage designer series paper is retiring and already out of stock.  Luckily I stocked up on it before it was gone so I can offer this kit to go!  

I created 10 fun cards for this month's kit to go; perfect for men or anyone who loves cars or motorcycles.  Look!

The kit includes $20 in product (before tax & shipping) including the following:

• a pre-cut kit for 10 cards including many fun folds
• 1/2 package of the 6" X 6" Classic Garage Designer Series Paper
• 1 full spool of the 1/4" Black & Silver Metallic ribbon
• 1 full package of the Metal Elements
• A complete written pdf tutorial with photos, directions, measurements and supplies list (sent via email)

***RSVP to receive this product based kit to go by May 18th by paying with the link below.  The cost with Priority Shipping is $35.  For locals it's $28. 

The kits will be mailed out around May 29th. 

If you'd like to add on the Geared Up Garage bundle at an extra 10% off please let me know by Friday the 17th.  I'll send you a PayPal invoice for it.

Everything is Rosy Fun Fold cards plus a wonderful cards box with video!

I finally received my Everything is Rosy product medley order!  I loved playing with it!  Here's what I came up with.....

Aren't they pretty?  These 8 cards and box will be part of my free tutorial given to anyone who orders this product medley from me.  And I'm not done creating yet!  There will be more included but they'll be a surprise!  Plus you'll get 3 free pre-cut card kits too! 

Lately I've found that when I pull out a group of coordinating products it's so easy to create!  Using the colors featured in a pack of Designer Paper keeps me focused.  And having almost everything in one product medley sure made these cards come together quickly!  I looked up some of my favorite layouts and sketches and went from there. 

The Everything is Rosy product medley is only available in May while supplies last.  I highly recommend it!  It's $80 for it all and you receive over 10 items including the following: 

Medley includes these exclusive products:
* Everything Is Rosy Photopolymer Stamp Set—18 stamps; suggested blocks: a, b, c
* Everything Is Rosy Dies—10 dies
* 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Stack—48 sheets; 8 each of 6 double-sided designs
* 6" x 6" rose gold foil paper—8 sheets
* Printed die cuts—2 sheets
* Rose gold die cuts—4 sheets; 2 each of 2 designs
* Rose gold adhesive backed mirror embellishments—60 embellishments; 1/4"
* Melon Mambo 1/4" Ruched Ribbon—10 yards 
* Night of Navy/Rose Gold 3/8" Metallic –Edge Ribbon—10 yards
* Rose Gold Shimmer Paint—1/2 oz. 

I hope you watch this video where I share the complete product bundle and how to make a quick and easy fun fold card that helps you make some quick cards while using up that Designer Paper you're saving (hoarding!).  I'm sorry the video is pour quality; when I download it from Facebook YouTube changes the size and it distorts the image.  We're working on a solution!

Healing Hugs Fun Fold card

I created this beautiful get well card for two events. One was for a friends workshop a few weeks ago and the other was for a stamp night in Minneapolis with my friends Susie Wood and Lorri Heiling.

Aren't these stamps gorgeous?!  This Healing Hugs stamp set is one of Stampin' Up!'s new Distinktive stamps.  A patent pending process they've developed for their stamp images that gives depth and multiple hues of colors.  I did stamp a second rose on a post it note and fussy cut it out. Then to get the leaves to appear from behind, place the mask on the stamped rose and stamp your leaves over it.  Remove the mask and you have magic! 

 I chose to use one of my favorite purple and green color combinations of Old Olive with Gorgeous Grape.  I also used some of our Wood Textures designer paper. This paper is on the retiring list.  I think I've used up 3 packages in the last year or so!  It just works so nicely on a variety of projects and occasions. 

The pretty little tag for the Old Olive twine bow is punched with the Everyday Label punch.  It adds another special detail to the card and anchors the bow. 

Here's the inside view: 

I trimmed off 2 3/4" of one end of the 4 1/4" X 11" Gorgeous Grape card stock.  Here are the measurements:

• Gorgeous Grape 4 1/4" X 7 3/4", scored at 5 1/2"
• Old Olive 3 1/2" X 4 1/4"
• Whisper White 3 1/4" X 4" for front and inside
• Wood Textures 4" X 2"
