Easy Events Baby Card

Baby cards are sometimes hard to make in advance...unless you make them completely neutral.  That is what I did with this card.  It's a very simple layout, with very neutral colors AND lays flat for mailing.  Another card from my card class that has actually came in handy for myself!  I love it when that happens.  :)

My monthly card class is meeting this Thursday (6/28) evening.  Contact me if you'd like more information about attending.  You can get the class free with an order placed that evening (min $20).  That includes 9 cards with envelopes!

Poppin Pastels with Retired Colors

This was the last card we did at my Stamp Club last month. I warned my girls that I was using retired colors - I have SO much paper in retired colors that I'd hate to see go to waste. They completely understood and were more interested in learning the technique anyway. Thank goodness. We stamped the flower image in VersaMark ink on Whisper White Cardstock and then used sponge daubers to apply pastels to the image. I CASEd (copy and show everyone) the card from Julie's card found here. Thanks for the great idea. I love simple cards that can show a great technique and give a big WOW when people see it being made. If you haven't tried this technique, give it a try! It gives you unlimited options for ink colors even if you don't have a lot of Stampin' Pads. All you need is VersaMark and Pastels!
