Cards & More Group March Project

I made myself some monogram note cards to send out a couple of quick notes and to keep on hand the other day and thought to myself wouldn't this be a great project for all of us to make?! So let's do it!
I'm putting together another Card Buffet this month, where you choose which designs you'd like to make from 4 choices of Designer Series Paper, along with how many sets of cards you'd like to make. And for the "3D"/something other than a card, I have these super fun silver skinny tins to embellish with a monogrammed belly band to store your card sets in!
Cards are $2 for each set of 5 and include the envelopes; add the tin for just $2 to complete the gift set. The only limit on the number of card sets you make is time.
Arrive any time between 6:30 pm and 8 pm.
Please RSVP by clicking here & tell us you're coming!

The Monogram Card Sets are available in several patterned themes and are super simple to put together. These gift sets are perfect for:
  • Yourself - keep note cards on hand for when you need them
  • Birthday - a handmade gift set for that someone special
  • Thank you gifts (think Graduation)
  • Visiting Teaching gifts
  • Co-Workers gifts
  • Family
  • Friends
Each month the Group meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month between 6:30 pm - this month's group is Tuesday, March 27th
Can't Make It This Month - Cheerful Treats
Not able to attend with the Group this month, but still want some personalized Monogram Card Sets? No problem - just send us an email, txt or call and we will make the card sets for you!

LOCATION:

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Stake Center 
3600 SE 182nd Avenue, Gresham, Oregon (across from Centennial High School)
 

These are just a couple of the paper choices to choose from!
 Be sure you invite all your friends & family for a night of fun and relaxing time.

Happy Anniversary

Happy 2nd Anniversary to my dad and his wife, Nancy!  I had a great time putting this card together for them...

I started off with a piece of Very Vanilla textured card stock and cut one end with the Adorning Accents Scalloped Edgelit Die and embossed the scalloped edge with the coordinating Adorning Accents Embossing Folder (I *love* these two new Big Shot products from the Occasions Mini!).  Then I cut the card down to a 5x5 folding card. 

I used the Always Elegant stamp set and Early Espresso ink to stamp this image on a piece of smooth card stock and used the *new* Simply Scored Diagonal Scoring Plate to score a design (hopefully you can see it in the picture).

The sentiment is made by embossing Pear Pizzazz card stock with the Oval Designer Frames Embossing Folder and running it through the Big Shot again with a die from the Labels Collection Framelit Die.  The stamped image is from the Occasions Alphabet set (which includes a phrase for all 26 letters), and punched out with the Extra-Large Oval Punch.  Basic Pearls added a delicate touch. 

Seam Binding Ribbon in Pear Pizzazz and Crumb Cake wrap the card and I embellished with an Antique Brad, Trinket Heart and tag.
I hope they enjoy their day!

Thanks for looking!

SAB Home Sweet Home Decor Elements

Here's another framed art piece I made using the Sale-A-Bration Home Sweet Home Decor Elements


What better way to make your house and home!  This easy-to-adhere vinyl lettering is temporary or permanent, 1 piece, measures 15-1/4 x 5-1/8, and comes in Chocolate (shown here), Black, White & Crumb Cake. 

I adhered the vinyl directly to the glass of my 12x24 frame and added two sheets of Mocha Morning Designer Series Paper underneath the glass (that way I can switch out the paper as it suits my fancy!)


For the rosette/bow, I used Basic Black & Chocolate Chip 5/8" Satin Ribbon and Crumb Cake 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon.  I then cut a 1 x 11-3/4" strip of striped Mocha Morning DSP and used the Simply Scored tool to score every 1/4" and accordion folded this strip/rosette.  Finally, I cut the butterflies from the Beautiful Wings embosslit from Vellum card stock and Morning Mocha DSP and embellished with Basic Rhinestones.

STAMPIN' UP! SALE-A-BRATION PROMOTION ENDS MARCH 31!
