WWYD Wednesday

Last night was my latest Technique Tuesday class and we did a *Poppin' Pastel* technique. Be sure to check back to see the cards we made using this technique.

Today I'm sharing the latest WWYD card kit and cards.  I think we all look forward to seeing what everyone came up with!  There are always squeals of ooh's and awww's!  Every card is sooo different, even though we all started with the same supplies.  Fun, fun, fun!

Here are the supplies we received at last months Technique Tuesday class.

Here is the card Michelle created.

Here is the card Randi created.

Here is the card I created.

I used a different fold for my card base.  I scored the 4 1/4" x 11" Pool Party card base at 3 1/8" and 8 5/8".  After I glued the tree image layer to the Lucky Limeade layer, I decided where I wanted it on the card front, held it in place and cut along the top flap edge.  Then, I glued the 2 tree *pieces* in place so they lined up and glued the white scallop punch piece to the underside of the top flap.  Then, I randomly glued punched flowers from the Lucky Limeade scraps.  Wa-La!

Be sure to check back later for our next WWYD kit.  Feel free to play along to see what you can create!  I'd love to see what you made!

Triple Tier Slider Card Class

Just wanted to share the projects we made in today's *Six Dollar Sunday*.  I found the Triple Tier Slider Card HERE on Heather Summer's blog and just knew I had to make it.  You can find the measurements and her video there, too!  So, be sure to check it out.

Some of you might recognize this background paper.  Stampin' Up! carried it sooo long ago, I can't even remember what it's called.  Unfortunately, I'm a paper hog and for some reason I would rather look at it than use it.  That just makes no sense when I think about it logically.  But, it is what it is and I have to force myself to use my paper, which is what I did with this project. 

The bow was inspired by the cover of the new Stampin' Up! catalog

This is the slider card when you pull all the layers out.  Soooo cute!

Well, I just couldn't have them make only one project so I quickly came up with this matching gift card holder this morning.

This cutie is soooo quick and easy!  All you need is a 3" x 7" piece of paper and fold it in half.  With the fold on the bottom and the open side on top, I placed sticky strip on the sides, to seal them up.  Now, only the top is open and that's where I punched half of the 3/4" circle punch to make an opening to pull the gift card out.  Then just decorate the front.  This is also a great way to use your scraps.

Have a Seat

I can't believe the *Have a Seat* stamp set is retiring!  I just love the simplicity of it.  But, I'm sure Stampin' Up! will have plenty of stamp sets to take it's place in the new catalog.  I'm going to miss the Lace Ribbon Border Punch that is retiring, too.    boo hoo

To create the lace-y look on the bottom, just punch a strip of the Lace Ribbon Border Punch in Very Vanilla and fold it back and forth.  Then, attach sticky strip to the back of your card stock and lay on the folded punch strip, showing the amount of it you like, then push down so it sticks to the sticky strip.  easy!

The flowers are from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and I added pearls. (the really little flowers are from the lace punch that I added in to fill in the seat.

Be sure to check out the retiring list and get 'em while you can!  You can view the lists here:  Retired List
