Peaceful Poppies cards kit to go; RSVP by March 19th!

The cards kit to go features the Peaceful Poppies designer paper. It's full of hand painted blooms accented by watercolor effects all inspired by fields of poppies.   

The 5 designs include two unique fun fold cards which are easy to make yet special for the recipient. 

 

 

This kit to go includes $20 in actual product (before tax & shipping).  You're getting the 10 cards pre-cut kit for just $5!  See those beautiful die-cuts and trim pieces? They are included in my kits!  I do the time consuming work for you so you can enjoy the fun of just stamping and assembly. 

*If you like pre-cut card kits you will LOVE my monthly kits to go!  Here are some comments from my subscribers:

- I made all the cards, and had a great time.  I loved all the different folds and color choices.  Thanks for making my week!

- Your directions are always so easy to follow and your projects are unique.

- I just received the January card kit and love it!

- I loved these cards; they were so fun to make. 

Here's one of the fun-fold cards in this month's kit.  It has a pocket for your greeting and/or a gift card if you'd like to add one.

 

 

I did use the poppy image from the Painted Poppies set in the card above. 

For my greetings I used the Peaceful Moments stamp set seen below.  If you add it on you will get a free Sale-a-Bration choice with your kit. Or choose the Peaceful Moments bundle  and earn you a free SAB choice. See your free choices here.

The Painted Poppies bundle is not available right now but should be back mid April! Both of these bundles coordinate together beautifully and are part of the Peaceful Poppies suite on pages 24-27 in the mini catalog.

Newest 5 sheet wonder with Positive Thoughts

I knew the Positive Thoughts stamp set would be perfect for a one sheet wonder but it's even better with my 5 Sheet Wonder!  

What is a 5 sheet wonder?  See the templates above the cards here?  Those are the 5 pre-measured templates you use for the layers on each of the cards.  Absolutely no measuring here; just cut on the printed lines!  My husband and I have created multiple 'wonders' with printed layers to make card making easy.  See them all here.  

The neutral 'one sheet wonder' template is what you stamp on, creating your own patterned paper.   First you'll print the template on it then flip it over to stamp on. The other 4 templates are colored 'layers' for your cards.  Cut on the printed lines for perfect layers!  

I'm offering this class locally and as a kit to go or just the pdf tutorial for anyone else who cannot attend.  

Local class is Tuesday, February 25th at 6 pm. Cost is $20 and includes the 10 cards with envelopes and the pdf tutorial.  RSVP by Feb 23rd. 

The kit to go includes the printed templates, 10 card bases and assorted ribbons.  It does not include punched greetings or rhinestones. Cost is $20 plus $8.50 for Priority Shipping.  Email me by February 25th at lagreff@gmail.com to order.  Combine it with my February Fun-fold cards kit to go for discounted shipping. 

The pdf tutorial is always available at my Tutorial shop here.

Christmastime is Here Framed Sampler!!!

As I was prepping for a presentation featuring the Christmastime is Here suite I knew I wanted to do a home decor piece.  A framed sampler was the first thing I came up with.  Look!

Isn't it pretty?  Those gold foil accents really make it shine! Click here to see this pretty Christmastime specialty Designer Paper. 

It's 12 X 12" in size and fits in a shadow box frame nicely.  I chose to use Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow and Gold as my accent colors.  Here are a few close up pics:

DSP on the left is 4 1/2" X 2 1/2" and the Cherry Cobbler is 4 3/4" X 2 3/4". DSP on the right is 3 square and the Mossy Meadow layer is 3 1/4" square.  The Cherry Cobbler textured banner is 2" X 7 1/2". The Gold foil 'Merry Christmas' is die-cut with the Merry Christmas dies seen here. 

The DSP is 4 1/2" X 2 1/2" and the Cherry Cobbler is 4 3/4" X 2 3/4".  The beautiful trees are cut using the In the Woods dies seen here. I colored the Gold Enamel dots with my Cherry Cobbler blends.  The detailed border die is from the Christmas Roses dies. 

Cherry Cobbler is 3 3/4" X 5" and the largest Mossy Meadow layer is 5" X 6 1/8". The pretty floral layer is cut from the Christmastime is Here specialty designer paper with the Roses Dies; they match perfectly!  The Gold foil lattice background is also cut from dies in the Roses dies.  See them here. 

I punched two of these ornaments from the Christmastime is Here specialty designer paper using the Gleaming Ornaments punch pack seen here. The left one is stamped using the Christmas Gleaming stamp set.  This sheet of the Christmastime is Here paper is my favorite! 

If you're loving this beautiful Specialty Paper be sure to get yours ASAP; it's only available in November while supplies last.  Click here to see it and the entire suite.
