April Workshop

Hello to all my blogging friends. I hope this post finds you all well and happy!

Hi everyone I hope you had a great weekend and have all settled into another great week.

We had a really fun workshop this weekend, we made 3 cards , I showed the girls how to make beautiful flowers with the  Blossom Petals Punch     and the Build a Blossom Stamp Set (another two step stamping set)
and a really cute and very easy to make Easter Basket ... of course it was filled with Yummy Candy!!!

This week I am so slammed I must, must, must complete my 2 swaps and maybe if I am able get a jump start on the 3rd one!!! Wish me luck .  Then of course I need to make a super card for our Sketch Frenzy Friday Blog Hop and there was something else I had to do. Geeze if I don't write things down I will forget..... I'll think of it later I hope????
I remembered (one hour later)!!!! I was commissioned to make a Wedding Favor. I have the idea but need to make a prototype first.

So what I have planned is to show you the cards we made at the workshop one a t a time for the rest of the week or until Thursday at least. Friday is already book (Big Smile)

This is the first card we made. Somehow I got a smudge on my sample and had to add a few pearls to the top left corner to cover up the oops!
I always use what I call a warm up card to get the ladies well ... Warmed Up! This is an example of a Clean and Simple card. No extra  stamping or embossing to the background sheet and or layers. Just plain and simple.
I used the Fast and Fabulous Hostess # 2 stamp set to explain the Two Step Stamping Tech. The only real embellishments on the card are the Bow and the 3 Tiny Tags. I used a scrap of Kraft (Crumb Cake) CS that was embossed with the Lattice Impressions Folder for one of the tags. A small piece of Linen Thread was used to tie the tags to the bow. That's it a nice and easy warm up card.
