Fall Season of Friendship Card, 2 NEW Online Classes & another give-away!

Posted on: Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

Oh my goodness!  Life is absolutely insane right now.  There just aren’t enough hours in a day to get everything done.  Tomorrow morning at 3 am the airport limo service is picking me up to take me to the London, ON airport and I’ll be off to Stampin’ Up!’s Founder’s Circle event.  I’m super excited, but at the same time panicking because I haven’t even packed yet.  I still have to go shopping to pick up a couple of things, I have to make sure everything is organized for the kid’s related to their activities and schedules while I’m gone…..and I sure hope I don’t forget my swaps!

Anyways, because things have been so hairy, I still haven’t been able to keep to my regular posting schedule, so please accept my apologies for having to cram everything into one post.  Today I wanted to share a card with you, plus tell you about out two upcoming online classes.  First off, here’s how I made the card:

  1. Cut a 5 1/4″ x 10 1/2″ piece of Pear Pizzazz CS and fold it in half to create a 5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ card. Set aside for a moment.
  2. Cut a 4 3/4″ x 4 3/4″ piece of Whisper White CS.  Stamp the tree from the Season of Friendship stamp set onto the Whisper White CS piece in Chocolate Chip Classic ink.
  3. Stamp the leaves in three colors of Classic ink: Certainly Celery, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive.
  4. Stamp 9 sets of leaves in Pear Pizzazz Classic ink onto a scrap of Whisper White CS.  Cut them out leaving a small border around them. Set aside for a moment.
  5. “Faux thread” 6 small red buttons using Real Red CS. Stick them to the tree with mini glue dots.
  6. Arrange the cut out leaves around the buttons and stick them to the tree with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  7. Add small dots of Crystal Effects to the tree and sprinkle on Dazzling Diamonds glitter.
  8. Center and stick the Whisper White CS to a 5″ x 5″ piece of Pear Pizzazz CS.
  9. Stamp the greeting “thanks” onto a scrap of Whisper White CS in Chocolate Chip Classic ink. Punch it out with the small oval punch.
  10. Stick the punched greeting to the inside of the dotted oval silver hodgepodge hardware frame with mini glue dots.
  11. Thread a 6″ piece of the 1/8″ Real Red taffeta ribbon through the silver oval & lay it across the bottom of the Whisper White CS piece. Position the silver frame slightly towards the left of the card and hold it in place with mini glue dots.  bring the ends of the ribbon around to the back of the Real Red CS and stick them down with SNAIL adhesive.
  12. Tie an 8″ piece of 1/8″ Real Red taffeta ribbon in a bow, around the first piece of ribbon, to the right of the silver frame.
  13. Center and stick the Real Red CS piece to the card front.  You’re done!

OK, and now on to our 2 new fantastic online classes for October in our all new Let’s Get Creative Classroom!
