I was pretty excited to have the Cake Builder punch back in stock this month.  It's such a cute stamp set and punch!  

I had fun creating six fun cards with this bundle for a kit to go!  It includes the stamp and punch bundle in the kit.  When you purchase this bundle through me in the link below you'll receive both the pre-cut cards kit and cards gift box FREE.  Here's the link where you can purchase this bundle & class kit on my newsletter here.  ***Be sure to order this class kit by April 23rd!!! 

It's one of the projects at my Spring Fling project day on May 4th.  That event is Saturday at 1st Lutheran Church in Minot.  Spend the day with us making your choice of 4 projects that day!  Be sure to RSVP with pre-payment to attend. 

You can see three of the classes available on my newsletter here.  I'll share one more tomorrow! 

 

Painted Seasons 4 Sheet Wonder class & kit to go. Simple yet WOW!

I've always enjoyed stamping my own backgrounds.  It's kind of addicting!  I also love creating new color combinations. Sometimes it takes awhile to find one that is new to me and caught me by surprise. Isn’t it pretty? 

It's Old Olive, Berry Burst and Night of Navy made with the Painted Seasons Sale-a-Bration stamp set. 

You might wonder how I decide on my color combinations. I grab pieces of card stock and hold them up side by side to see what works.  I knew I wanted a bright flower color and a green for leaves.  So I started there.  Then I kept trying other colors to see what pulled them all together. Navy was it!

One thing to consider when stamping your background for a one sheet wonder is to have random image sizes.  The Painted Seasons stamp set is perfect for this!  I recommend starting out with the largest image and stamp that randomly all over leaving open spaces; then add the next largest image and on down to the smallest one to fill in.  It's super fun to do!  Here I did use a mask on my large flowers so the leaves appear from behind.  

Years ago my husband and I came up with a plan to make a one sheet wonder even better by adding templates for the 'layers' on each card. This one is our 4 Sheet Wonder as it includes '4' templates.  Each template has exact measurements with printed cutting lines!  I print out each template on  8 1/2" X 11" sheets of card stock and use the reverse (non-printed) side.  There's NO MEASURING AT ALL!  I am super proud of these templates and truly enjoy making these cards.  I finished all 10 cards in 2 hours; designing and everything! 

Here's how I lay out my card pieces after the templates are cut.  They’re placed in piles from 1-10 and I add my folded card bases with them.  This plan makes 10 full A2 cards. 

 

You can see some of the numbers on the back side of the card stock pieces above.  Remember that I use the non-printed side on my cards so the printing doesn’t show    

I'm hosting a local class on Monday, March 25th at 6 pm. Class is $20.   RSVP with payment by March 19th to attend.

For those of you who cannot attend my class in Minot, ND you can purchase the full pdf tutorial with templates for $10 or the kit to go for $28 at my Shop here. 

The 'to go' kit includes the following:
