This week’s card is a fun card to make with Designer Series Paper that makes a pretty scene. The DSP featured in this card is called Storybook Moments and the pot and shovel come from the Storybook Garden Patch dies. For all the measurements and materials check out the free instruction sheet below.

Hostess Codes going away: If you haven’t heard the Hostess Codes and Hostess Rewarded parties/workshops are being replaced by an individual customer rewards program. This will take place around April 13th. For every $20 purchase you make using your own sign in, you will start earning rewards to use on your next purchase, once you have collected enough points. More to come as the system gets up and running.

More Card Ideas from OnStage Swaps

At the Stampin’ Up convention which is called OnStage, I swapped over 75 cards with other demonstrators. Over the next few weeks I will be posting pictures of the swap cards I received at the bottom of my post, just past the Paper Pumpkin advertisement. There is a wide range of cards from very easy to fancy.

The top right card design is a fun fold with a center that flips back and forth. The design on the front of this card is made using a stencil that will be provided for you.

NOTE About Card Kits for Classes: Everything for your card kit is pre cut and ready to assemble unless otherwise indicated. Card kits never include stamped images, glue, or Stampin’ Dimensionals. It does include cardstock, die cuts, Designer Series Paper, ribbon, or other embellishments that are pictured in the class advertisement.  Instructions for card kits can be found on my blog so if you miss class, you will still be able to assemble your cards.
