Christmas cards made at our last meeting.

Here are two of the cards that we made at this last meeting. I love both of these. We actually made three but I had not photographed No.3 yet. All of the cards were very well done and would be perfect Christmas cards for family and friends.

1st year anniversary as a stampin up demostrator

Here is our fearless leader. Doesn't the smile say it all. She is delighted to be our leader and celebrating one year as a Stampin-up dealer. Her talent, her patience, her organisational skills are all things we admire about her. She makes our meetings so much fun and sharpens our skills without realizing how great she is. Thank you so much Susan for all your hard work preparing the material for our cards and for taking your time to type out the plans for the meeting . You are very good at what you do.......but those of us that love you knew that already. HAPPY 1ST YEAR ANNIVERSARY.

SIGNS HE IS STILL THERE FOR US .

BABY CHRISTENING CARD

A CHRISTENING CARD

This card was requested by a friend. I used dark pink card stock to make the base of the card. I found a nice floral print to use on the front . I cut two small strips of card stock in a lighter shade of pink and one white. I scalloped the edges with stampin up punches . I placed them at the top of the pink floral paper and at the bottom. I glued two pieces of lace on each side of the pink floral print and on top of that I glued a narrow pink ribbon . I then put the stick- on pearls along the ribbon. Next I cut out the angel stamp, colored her headband and dress in shades of pink and white. I put a pearl on her dress and used dimensions behind her to give depth . In front of her I placed a Scalloped circle pushing it to the waist and putting her hands over the circle. I attached a pink ribbon bow at the top of the circle. After shading the edge of the scallop with a light pink I used pearls again in the scallops. Next I had a cross stamp that I used . I stamped three crosses on different card stock. I then cut each one smaller than the last. In other words I cut the white larger then the dark pink and then the light pink which showed the design on the cross. I next used a brad to hold a metal cross right in the center. The bottom oval (which is slightly off center ) is on dimensions again and pearls on the darker pink background . I glued lace to the bottom of the card using the fold and stick method. Lastly I cut a rectangle tag and placed it in the center with a Christening Blessing.

Group of cards for soldiers

SOLDIERS CARDS

Here are two of my cards that I made for the Collection of Cards for Soldiers

CARDS FOR SOLDIERS

The soldiers need cards to send home to their family members and friends. We , as a group to send these cards . It is really Susan Gautreaux's idea and is one of her favorite projects . These cards are the ones that I made. The one on the right is with a the cuddle bug. It is one of the folders and after stamping it, I colored it using the color pens.

These were simple cards and are for your viewing. I am going to add a few more. I did not photograph all of them though as it was 51 cards all total.
