Classy Cards 'n Such Guest Design Team!!!

I'm very excited to announce the very first Guest Design Team for the Classy Cards 'n Such blog!!  Pati Olson and Jennipher Lowery!!!  These are two very talented ladies who have much to share with us.   They will each share a card (or more if they wish!) twice per month for the next three months.    I've asked them to each share a little about themselves. Please make them welcome!!!

Jennipher Lowery

I'm super excited to have the opportunity to share my love of papercrafting with you as a Guest Designer for Classy Cards 'n Such over the next three months! I began papercrafting in 2006 and was an avid scrapbooker until this year when I began to focus on handmade cards and stamping. It took me some time to adjust to the smaller canvas of an A2 card but once I did I immediately fell in love with the convenience of the size and the smile a handmade card brings to the recipient's face and the joy it puts in my heart.

I enjoy working with all the pretty things a girl loves...lace, bling, shimmer, flowers and more. I rarely make a card without using some form of die-cutting, embossing, or embellishing. I hope I am able to inspire you with my creations!

In Good Times...

Lisa Somerville has very generously shared one of her beautiful creations with us.  Lisa is a member of the Technique Junkies Design Team, Heartfelt Creations Design team and others.   You can find her blog here.



Lisa's instructions:
To create this project, stamp Friends from Our Daily Bread Designs Blessing Collection in Black Archival ink on Bo Bunny paper using a Stamp-a-ma-jig.  Adhere stamped panel to square Unibind piece. Add Ranger Tissue Tape to cover edges. Sponge edges with Ranger Old Paper Distress Ink. To create the Easel Frame, score additional Unibind piece with Scor-Pal and bend slightly. Adhere to backside of Square piece with Glue Gun.

To create the flowers, I embossed the Sweet William blossoms from
Our Daily Bread Designs on the backside of the paper used to cover the Unibind piece, then scrunched and pinched them to form the blossom, die cutting with  Spellbinders Blossom 3; adding a Websters Pages Sparkler to the center.  To embellish my piece, I added some leaves using Spellbinders Foliage Die, Zva Creative Flourish Pearls and Butterflies from the Cheery Lynn Exotic Butterfly Mini Die. Misting my finished piece with Pearl Glimmer Mist.


Details:
Stamps - Our Daily Bread Designs Sweet William, Friends
Ink - Ranger Black Archival, Versamark, Distress Ink Old Paper
Card Stock - Artichoke
Other - Big Shot, Glimmer Mist, Heat Gun, Zva Creative Pearls, Ink Blending Tool, Glue Gun, Scor-Tape, Tissue Tape, Bo Bunny Pattern Paper, SAMJ, Websters Pages Sparkler, Spellbinders Blossom 3/Spellbinders Foliage Die, Black Embossing Powder, Unibind Pieces, Exotic Butterfly Mini Die

Thanks, Lisa!!!

Christmas will be here soon!!

I don't know about you, but Christmas will probably be here well before I'm ready for it!  But to help give us all a headstart on our cards and other Christmas projects, I ordered some really cute new Christmas die cuts from Cheery Lynn Designs this past weekend.   I don't have an estimated arrival date yet.   It's usually about 5-7 business days, but since these are new releases and it's the week after CHA, I'm not sure exactly when to expect them.

Place your orders now to be among the first to get these gorgeous Christmas designs!   All Cheery Lynn Designs and Scor-Pal are eligible for free shipping if the order totals $50 or more!   Only free shipping items can be in that order.  Enter code FREESHIP at checkout.  I will hold your order until all items have arrived.

There are a couple of different Christmas trees, Cathedral Lace Frame, Lace Peace Frame, Colonial Lamp Post, Ornamental Wreath and Bow and more!! 


Elegant Evergreen



Colonial Lamp Post




Cathedral Lace Frame


You can see all of them here.

I'm in the process of adding stamps to the Classy Cards 'n Such online shop.   The first order should be here by mid-August.

Thanks for stopping by!!!  Until next time...

    Judy's Daisy & Flourish card reminded me that I had a couple of easy cards in a similar style that I haven't posted here.  These cards are wonderful to have as a "go-to" style when you need something that looks great when you are short on time!  I love the layered cards, but I find I often need something quick and easy!

    Daisy on White

    Judy has received her blog candy so now I can show you what was in her mystery gift!  Don't forget to keep commenting on the blog posts as we may have an unannounced blog candy at any time!

    

    Embossing folders are 15% off this week!  There are ten beautiful designs from which to choose.  See them all here!

    The CNNS Guest Design Team call closes on July 17th!   We've had some wonderful applications but would love to see more!   Details are here at http://scrapbookcalls.typepad.com

    Here are a couple of cards I made recently.  I love white cards and multiple layers on cards and don't do them nearly often enough!  While this card has a number of layers, it was not at all hard to make!  Do you like layered cards too?   Add your layered cards to Mr. Linky below by next Friday and we'll choose two or three to highlight on a blog post in the near future!

                                             Fancy Tags Three, Mega Ovals

                                  
      
    This card was so easy to make!  The details in the butterfly design are perforated and had to be punched out.   Then I placed the sticker onto the Foil Paper Textured Patterns 1 paper and cut out around it.  I bent the butterfly wings up to give it some dimension and then adhered the butterfly body to the cardstock with a dab of glue and placed tiny pieces of foam dots behind the wings.  A small piece of Finesse swirls - White Pearls was used for the butterfly's flight path and three White Pearls Baby Bling down the body of the butterfly.

    The inside sentiment (not shown) reads A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature - Ralph Waldo Emerson
