Gifts of Kindness

I have had this set a long long time and have wanted to use it but have not gotten around to it....did find out something during the process.....had the class only emboss the two middle pieces....not the pacific point.....

 smoky slate and whit embossing powders...don't you love those candy dots...I simply LLLLLOOOOVVVEEEEEEE them...to say the least!!

after I had finished with this...I added a white candy dot button for the inside...

Alligator card....a case

Cased this from my upline   Linda Bauwin...loved this ...can be done vertical or horizontal...class members divided which way they liked...lol....love the gumball coordination paper for the alligator with the google eyes...used the 1/2 in punch below the eyes....and the pennant builder punch...haven't used that in awhile....

 pistashio and so saffon and vanilla paper.....

Pool Party Hive

Used Pool party and the coordination matching paper.....sanded it before I cut with hive edgelit....use the wax paper ...makes the job so much easier....I used dimensionals to attach it.....

 used dazzling details for the flower image and set and let dry....

 this is the inside of the card

Walk in the wild set with clear window

This was a card that I used in a class I had recently....need a 12 x12 sheet to make this card...but sssssoooo worth it!!  

 

 a close up of the bottom of the card...front part.....

 played with a variety of inks on this...smoky slate across the moon part....

this shows you how I added the vintage brad....tied the linen thread around the clay espresso button...cut the brad part off the vintage brad and added to button with sticky strip.......I knotted the linen thread after it went through the button and then let it hang out.....

Am updating this....sorry for the screw up....although you DO use a 12 x 12 sheet....be nice if I told you where to score this...score it at 4 1/4 and then 8 1/2 ....that will give you the basic card shape...and then you use the circles collection and add the space for the clear sheet...cut the sheet rectangle shape and added sticky strip on inside fold.....

Jean's birthday.....another box card for the birds......lol

 

 Jean loves birds...she talks about them and watercolors them ongoing...so I made her a belated bird card in a box...Have some of the elevated with our plastic sheets....came out pretty well...

Here are some close ups of the bird group....and below is the card in full......

Purple box card for friend....ANN

Ann ....so loves purple...so made this box card with the indigo and purple....I think she loved it...used the blender pen and aqua  painter and the ink pads....

embossed both of the butterflies...they came out nice.....

Kay's grandkids helped with card ministry...Homewood, AL

What a delight it was to have 3 of Kay's grandchildren visiting and helping with the card ministry..the first picture is of the three girls...Gretchen is the oldest...then there is Rika and then the youngest, Liesel... ....they just finished their McDonald's meals...our night card ministry for this  particular church is from 6-8 in my Craft House...

 This is Kay with her three grandchildren.....they are all beautiful girls....and ssssssoooo artistic...

 Here all three girls are using glue dots to adhere two butterflies together/cutting gems to attach to the butterfly card..did a wonderful job with the card.......also did some punching of butterflies.....will show you that later in the week....don't look at my messy table...the other table where 5 ladies were working was a lot cleaner....didn't get a chance to take a picture of them...which I should have..sorry ladies....

 SORRY TO SEE THE GIRLS GO.......enjoyed the time with them...told them if they were ever in town again...just give me a call and they could come over and play...anytime...bring your mom and you can make it a whole afternoon....lol
