Cards and More!

Nancy treated us to another over the top demo featuring some lovely new stamps from Penny Black...beautiful flower images that are perfect for creating spring themed cards...



So many great idea design ideas...cutting, layering, and coloring...


Wouldn't Mom love to receive a card made from one of these...





And Nancy's demos are never complete without adding one of her signature folded projects...this time it is the sweetest little box to hold a collection of mini cards...What a perfect gift!



Come on in the store to take a closer look...

Thanks Nancy!

Glitter Gals

We sparkled and glittered away last Saturday in Elizabeth Crafts Glitter and Shimmer Sheets classes...taught by the one and only Els...this fabulously creative lady showed us all the ins and outs and tips and tricks using her signature ultra fine glitter and peel off stickers, with stencil and die cut masks, and copic markers...

Els starts us out with some basic instructions...







And off we go...coloring and cutting and layering...




To create these beautiful cards...




In the afternoon we learned all about Shimmer Sheets..

This is Els' 'treasure box'... pieces of Shimmer Sheets that have been colored with alcohol inks, run through an embossing folder, then cut up into small squares and rectangles to create stunning 'patchwork' peices...




We all created a piece of 'patchwork' to share...



Donna helps out with layout ideas...




Look at the stunning results! And so easy...



Here is a journal cover that Els made...


Thanks for stopping by...
