Finished!!! 100 Invitations!


What is all this, you may ask? 100 invitations for my friend Jeff and his fiance, Aftan, whose wedding is in September.




Here's the outside and the inside. Their colors are Burnt Orange, Dark Teal and Ivory.
Jeff is a graphic artist so he designed the inside part that I printed in vellum. Can you see the watermark of the "J" and the "A" in the corners? It looks really cool.
I couldn't find reasonably priced handmade paper, so I searched for some textured paper and found it at Michael's. Tah dah! Watercolor paper, the kind you find as a big sheet 22" X 30" that I ended up tearing and giving the natural torn look. I even ordered them a stamp with their names on them in a font they picked and stamped it on the outside of the invitation.

What do you think?
Thanks for checking in!

My latest card class!



Here are the latest cards we made. The first card used a double sided paper. One side was a wonderful print and the other side was a bright red. We cut the paper in half and showed both sides on the card.
I introduced the Big Shot to many of the students. They got to do the Top Die in purple and also use the latest "Embosslits" to make the flowers. It embosses and punches all in one step.


This card used the scallop edge punch and the square scallop punch with it's matching stamp set. I used the brown and pink combination that seems to be popular now days. And I thought the bookmark was a special bonus.


Then, they also used the Big Shot with the textured plates. Doesn't it look great! Making your own textured paper, can you believe it?




Hers's a sneak preview of the next class where we will use a new Textured Impressions die. Isn't it gorgeous?

Oh, and by the way...Save the date: Saturday, May 2nd. I will be hosting a Scrapbooking event at Genentech from 10am-6pm. More details to follow, so keep checking in.

Thanks for checking in!
