This is the last set of cards that we will be creating at the next Card Workshop on July 1st. I finally decided to try watercoloring. It is a really fun technique.

I decided to leave off the hemp and the wooden shapes to keep my customers' costs down. But after putting the rectangular sentiment piece on, it felt like it was missing something. So I pulled out my Kick Back stamp set and decided to add a few other stamped images in place of the missing embellishments (inspired by page 41 of current Spring/Summer 2012 IB). I stamped "Thinking of You" on the inside, but you could use this card for anything, really.

If you would like to join us for this card workshop (creating 12 cards, 2 of each design) on July 1st. Please RSVP by Wednesday, June 27th so I can be sure to have enough snacks on hand.

Thanks for stopping by.

Relax Summer Workshop Cards

I am excited to share this next card with you. It was actually inspired by page 81 of our current Spring/Summer 2012 idea book. I kept looking at the cute clustering of stamped images on the featured scrapbook layout and the idea for this card was born.

This could be used for a retirement, a vacation, or just simply thinking of you. I reached into my Dotty For You stash (last month's promotion kit) to create this card. I came really close to embossing the bamboo cardstock, but hubby thought it looked better this way. He told me that it was too much pressure to ask him for advice. LOL

I used a template from Originals and some yellow Offray ribbon that I've had for a while. I love how it all looks together.
