Second Spring Poway Adult Class - "Thinking of You"

My second class of the spring quarter is a box set.  "Thinking of you" is what is stamped on the box.  We'll be making 4 cards that you'll be able to put into the box.

So come join me on Thursday May 23rd from 6:30 - 8:30 pm to make the set!

This class will be held at Abraxas High School in Poway (south of Target).  Here's the link to sign up!

Hope to see you there!

Class at Poway Adult School - One Sheet Wonder

I really like it when my class submissions get selected.  : )  Step one complete.

Step two: People to sign up to take the classes.

This first class will be offered on Tuesday May 7th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm.  In class, we will be cutting the 6" x 6" background texture paper and then assembling the 6 cards you'll make in class.  You'll go home with knowledge to make more at home!

The class is at Abraxas High School in Poway.  Here is the link to sign up!

Spring and Summer Canvas

Since Spring is finally here, I thought I'd share with you my Spring and Summer canvas art.  Each has a watercolor paint background.  All the images were cut using the Flower Market Cricut Cartridge with lots of various colored cardstock.  Both are 10" x 10", and will brighten any wall.  : )

January 2019 Slide Up Cardaholics' Card

Today I'd like to share with you my card for my Cardaholics exchange.  It's called a pop up card, but I think it should be called a slide up card.

I made them with fun colors, although two families, because I couldn't decide which I liked better.  The front two cards are in the envelope ready position.  Then the middle part slides upward to create a self standing card.  Thus "slide" rather than "pop".  : )

The base of the card measures 4.25" x 11".  You're going to score along the 11" side at 1", 2.75", 3.75", 5.5", 7.25", 8.25", and 10".  The focal consists of several layers:

  Cardstock layer: 2.75" x 5.5" - here it's Canary and Lemon

  Focal mat layer: 2.5" x 5.25" (there's another one this size on the back for you to write a greeting and is cardstock) - here it's B&T and white cardstock (on the back)

  Focal layer: 2.25" x 5" - here it's Sweet Leaf and Lilac

The front "celebrate" was stamped on B&T paper that measures 0.75" x 4"

On the 5.5" score line, you are going to want to cut out a slit from about 0.75" to 3.5" on either side of the score line.  That's creating the space needed to have the focal slide through so it can stand.
