Floral Squares...April Monthly Class to Go!!

 The 2021-2022 Annual Catalog is quickly coming to a close. Featured in the April Class to Go is a set that will be retiring May 2. 

The Monthly Class to Go features a stamp or die set and card kits made with them. For $35 this month you will get the Floral Die set plus 4 card kits using these dies. You also receive a PDF tutorial with full color photos of each card.

As an ADD-ON you can purchase the All Squared Away stamp set which coordinates with the Floral Dies for the catalog price of $23 and I will pay the Shipping and the Tax.

What a deal...right??

Here are the cards in this Class to Go.

 This card uses one of the floral dies. The card base is Basic Black, the mat is Basic White and the decorative mat is from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper pack cut with a Contour die. The DSP behind the floral piece is also from this DSP. The floral piece is cut from Basic Black and the flowers are from the DSP. The bow is Bumblebee Gingham ribbon which is soon retiring. The gems are Pearl Basic Jewels.

This card uses another of the floral dies. The cardbase is Basic White, the DSP is from Heart & Home DSP. The cardstock is Basic Gray for the floral frame and the flowers are Polished Pink cardstock. The card is finished off with Polished Pink ribbon and a Polished Pink gem in the center. 

 This card uses all four of the floral squares and retiring Rainbow Glimmer DSP. The base is Basic White, the mat is Basic Black and the floral squares are cut from Basic White, backed with the Glimmer paper. Pearl Basic Jewels finish off the card.

This last card demonstrates the All Squared Away stamp set that coordinates with the Floral Squares dies. The stamp set has 4 background stamps but I only used 3 here. They are cut at 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" to fit snuggly behind the diecut squares which measure 2" x 2". They are stamped in Garden Green and placed on a Petal Pink card base. The Soft Succulent ribbon backs the sentiment from the All Squared Away stamp set which is stamped in Garden Green  onto Basic White with each end punched with the Lovely Labels pick a punch. The label measures 4 1/4" x 3/4".

This is the card that I demonstrated on the Facebook Live which can be viewed on YouTube here.

Pinwheel Tower Card

   

Here are the photos of the Pinwheel  Tower card that I demonstrated on my Facebook Live this morning. The video is also be available on YouTube.

The measurements for the Pinwheel Tower Card are:

    Cardstock for base  6 1/4 x 4 1/4,  score along the 6 1/4 side   2 3/4, 3 3/4, 4 3/4, 5 3/4

    Same color cardstock  2 3/4 x 4 1/4 (cut 3)

    DSP  2 5/8 x 4 1/8  (cut 4)

    Coordinatng DSP   1 5/8 x 4 1/8  (cut 4)

    Extra Basic White cardstock

You'll also need some image stamps and/or diecuts and 2-3 word or sentiment stamps, bone folder, liquid glue.

Written directions are just too difficult to understand so you will be much better off watching the tutorial. It makes it all so much easier when you actually see it.

If you have any questions, leave a comment...I check back frequently.

Enjoy! And I'd love to see a photo of your card. You can either post it in the comments section here or go to Stampindede's Doin's and Designs and post it in the Pinwheel Tower Card album.

Biggest Wish Stamp Set and Expressions in Ink DSP

 The October Class to Go features the Biggest Wish Stamp Set and two Designer Series Papers - Expressions in Ink and Beauty of the Earth. Today's Facebook Live demonstrates one of the Biggest Wish Cards. 

 The cut measurements for this card are as follows:

Basic White cardbase   8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4

Just Jade cardstock  4 1/2 x 1 1/4 and 3 1/2 x 1 1/4 (cut 2)

Expressions in Ink DSP  4 1/4 x 1 and 3 1/4 x 1 (cut 2)

Sentiment label   Basic White cs  I used Stitched So Sweetly die measuring just under 2 3/4 by 1 3/4.

Gold pieces are from Expressions in Ink Ephemera pack and Forever Gold (no longer available)

Gilded Gems 

Ink used Pear Pizzazz and Just Jade

The video can be viewed on my Facebook Page or on YouTube. My favorite DSP right now is Expressions in Ink! Let me know what your favorite DSP is!

Here are some cards using Expressions in Ink papers that have the pattern in the center of the paper

Cut your DSP in 4" sections with the pattern in the center of each section. Then cut each 4" section in half so that there is some of the pattern in each half. From the white end of the 4 x 6 piece, trim to 5 1/4 so that you now have a 4 x 5 1/4 piece. Do that for each section and you will have 6 pieces ready to stamp a sentiment on and place on a cardbase of your choosing. Add gems and you are ready to send to a friend!

Go get you some of this beautiful Expressions in Ink DSP and make a set of cards. These also make great gifts! Tie a ribbon around 4 cards with envelopes and who wouldn't love getting that for a gift!
