Series: Monday Make It - Send It Video # 17 (Features Timeless Tulips-- Coming Soon!)






                                       
 2 Cards I made to send out tomorrow
(idea behind Monday Make It - Send It!!)

 I made this card partly at the event in Lansing
and partly at home  lol.  Needed a few finishing touches.

 This was my demo card for the video below
but it also needed a couple changes. I added the ribbon to
cover up a boo boo I made (oops!!)

 My sample above looks pretty much the same
but I left off the linen thread.  Can't wait for my new
tulip punch to arrive and then I will be in business!!


Please watch the video below and just ask if you have
a question about my 2 cards.  Thanks very much for your time.....Lori

We were served a very nice dinner & recd
some gifts from SU!!

 I just LOVE the pretty tote bag we got, along with these
other all-attendee gifts or PRIZE PATROL!!

These 3-D items were made by fellow demonstrators,
and I was fortunate enough to be one of the recipients!!
Thank you so much to all the gift-givers
at On Stage!!  I appreciate it very much (you
know who you are)!!

Birthday Card with the Painted Glass stamp set from StampinUP!


This recent class project was pretty simple other
than the fussy cutting!! 
(had to cut 2 images & used circle punch for 1)

All 3 of the images though, came from the same
circle looking design just stamped 3 separate times.
Check out the Painted Glass set on pg. 122
in the Annual Catalog & you will see what I mean, hopefully.

Color Combo includes:
Black, White, & Blushing Bride

If you have any questions, please let me know.
I hope you had a great weekend & please stop back Monday
night (tomorrow) for a youtube video.
My series continues...."Monday Make It-Send It"
