Class dismissed!

I spent the entire weekend with The Stamp Market's Fun & Floral-y* class - I shared cards 1 & 2 with you yesterday but just in case you missed it I'll share the whole shebang here today!

It's enough that you are here - so please don't feel as if you must comment on each card, or at all really - just sharing my work!  Ready set go:

When Amy said there would be 'lots' of die-cutting, she wasn't kidding - time well spent in my humble opinion!


There was one of those one-pass-cuts-a-million-bits of confetti dies in the kit - 
surely they were meant to be shaken, not stirred...


Next up, a little repetitive stamping with another little blossom...
isn't that little curved sentiment the cutest grassy knoll?


Amy shared a terrific tip on how to make our own infinity shaker pocket -
don't tell on me, but I used one of my handy Waffle Flower pockets!
My bits got a little jammed up, but I was able to correct the situation...


Then a sweet little set of note cards using a fun stripe-y stamping technique on vellum.  You all know me by now - I couldn't throw those negatives away!
Now you know where the confetti came from...


Here they are all wrapped up with their tiny little envelopes and a tag
 ready for gift-giving.


For this assignment, we were supposed to cut more of those sweet little blooms - but I'm telling you my shoulder really got a workout this weekend and I had all of these leftovers from that shaker-bloom!  So why not
a quick-n-easy sunny-side-up card - be sure to read my inside sentiment...

Inside:
I heard you are egg-specting! Congratulations!!

Then a session of stacking strips of paper, die-cutting one bloom, and making a bonus tag or bookmark!


I even snuck in an extra snippet - remember that connected heart panel?
with one pass you end up with about 50 of these little hearts - see if you can find it...


On Saturday, Amy used this darling stencil to create a pop-up
inside her 1st card - my pop-ups always end up being really thick and hard to mail - but I did want to use the stencil...


ONE MORE - and if you stuck around this long, I sure appreciate it -
that little striped stamping on vellum made a pretty cute background
for this last bloom cut from another confetti snippet!


My trip to see the butterflies blooming was rescheduled for tomorrow - it's supposed to be clear and sunny all day so I'm putting off my laundry until Tuesday!  Hope your week gets off to a good start!

ps. We were told these products will be available soon!

WOW!!! You had an amazing class. I can see why your shoulder was feeling the workout. But man, oh man, was it worth it. Such a terrific display of cards. I really like your full shaker one. Well, I like all of them but that stood out just a bit. Thank you for sharing the wonderful class projects. And yep, I giggled at the sentiment for the sunny side up card, too. You are wonderfully creative. Enjoy your adventure today my friend!

What a fun way to spend the weekend and look at the treasures that came from it! The sunny side up card -- tee hee! And the snippets rainbow -- love that idea and so pretty with the bonus tag. The little note card set, the repeat stamping... all of it! And now you get to go to the butterfly garden. Laundry can wait for sure!

Jeanne H said...

I love all your cards...the sunny side up and the last one especially. :-)

Well done!

Brenda said...

Holly smokes, you were busy with this class Michele!!! You know I loved the first two cards, love the little flowers on the first one and then how can one not love a shaker card like the second one-bonus that the flower bloom was where all the shaker pieces went. Then you kept blowing me away with the rest of these fabulous cards! So loving that "have a beautiful day" card, I think that one is my favorite! The infinity shaker card is...wow! Then there are the cute note cards, what a fabulous gift that will make. Sunny side up....hello!!! Love it! And how fun is the striped card and bookmark, yes please! Flowers and rainbows, can't go wrong with that! Love, love, love all these but the one I said was my favorite is still my favorite of them all. But all executed amazingly beautiful! You had an amazing day today seeing the butterflies blooming!!!! Hugs, Brenda

Sounds like it was a fabulous class, Michele. You made so many wonderful floral-y cards and even got to use the leftovers.

OMG...such an amazingly creative weekend using your new card kit:-) So many beautiful and colorful Springtime cards and tags, Michele. I loved all the textures and CAS designs. Gosh...and now you get to see butterflies...Wow!! Our 1st Day of Spring has been lovely too...Denny is pruning our 3 apple trees and I got to do my 4 mile walk in the sunshine and enjoy discovering more wildflowers in bloom along the river and many more on our place:-) Even got in some Spring cleaning in one of our flower beds. A perfect day to remember:-) TFS..Love and Hugs...
