This is a beautiful display card and while I tried to keep it simple, the layers make it a very thick card so it will definitely be a hand delivered card or mailed in a padded envelope. I have seen many balcony cards on Pinterest and they come in all shapes and sizes. I am pretty set on my A2 size cards and this will fit in a medium size envelope, but it is a very tight squeeze. I designed this card for my upcoming April 23 zoom class before I saw the retirement list. The following items are being discontinued: Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set, Ornate Thanks Stamp Set and the Meadow Moments embossing folders. Check out all the Last Chance products on my shopping site.

This week’s cards are based on a design by LeAnn Gref and will work beautifully with any non directional Designer Series Paper. I have chosen to use the new Butterfly Bijou 6×6 DSP.

Bouquets, Boats, & Berries Class at the VFW in Havre de Grace, MD

I will be teaching a class at the VFW in Havre de Grace, MD on April 24, 2020 from 5pm – 8pm. This is the third class I have held there and we have had a great time. Tickets cost $25 and cover the cost of your card kit, light refreshments and door prizes. The class is limited to 20 people so that we can maintain social distancing, but it is a large room on the 2nd floor of the post. Contact me by clicking the email button above on the menu bar to find out how to purchase your ticket.

The 9 cards we are making are pictured below and I have designed them so that each one is different even though technically we are only making 3 each of 3 different designs. I will have several sentiments for you to choose from so that you can make the cards fit your needs.
