Scrap and Stamp Expo

Wow Ellie, what a haul of loot! You do look quite happy! Glad you girls had a good time and that the classes you took were good.

I finished a bunch of cards yesterday and today. All that is left is a big set of Graphic 45 cards which will take a few days to complete and a Graphic 45 book which is about one third done. I am at a standstill on the book until i get a set of directions in the mail from the instructor. She lost a bunch of direction sheets in transit so half of us didn't get them.

OK. I will post these in groups and give you a brief description of the class. The first one is layering background stamps. We created our own paper by applying marker ink to a sheet of acetate, spritzing it with water and then smearing it on the paper. After that, we stamped them with two background stamps.

This next group is from a Technique Tuesday class-Interactive Cards. They are pretty self explanatory but let me know if you have any questions.

The last three cards are from another Technique Tuesday class called Add Zip and Flair. We used a special die to create a tear tab on the card fronts. When adhering the front to the base, we left one side open so that we can insert a gift card, cash or a check. Then we will seal it so the recipient will have to Zip the strip to get the gift...FUN! I bought the die and a set of stamps designed to fit on the strip.

Those are fantastic! I love the zip strip idea. Those will definitely be a hit.

Ellie - Thank you for sharing your cards with us! The Zip and Interactive cards look fun to receive!
