So here's to Traci who we missed at our card meeting last night. I hope you're feeling better. Card #1: We used a "Design Adhesive" sticker/glue border called Butterfly swirls. You rub the design with a bone folder or something hard edged onto the top sheet of the 2 layers and then you very gently peel off the top layer and place that onto the yellow cardstock. It will be sticky, so make sure you don't touch one of the butterflies with your finger. It is also a little larger than your cardstock, but don't worry about that, what doesn't touch the cardstock won't stick. Then take your bone folder and rub the design onto your yellow cardstock. Gently... pull off the piece of paper just leaving the glue of butterflies. Sprinkle glitter onto the butterflies generously. Assemble card. A piece of baby blue satin ribbon is tied around the top and bottom layers and then a thin strip of pink sugar coated cardstock is glued onto the top of that. The "Laugh" and tiny flowers are attached using dimensionals.
Card #2: the second card we made was a digital card I created using My Digital Studio and then the students "hybrided" it up. Very quick card. The only thing you had to add was a metal white hodgepodge hardware bracket after inserting 2 small green brads. I put a small round dimensional to hold the brads in place and then attached that to the "digital" hodgepodge hardware. We then wrapped a piece of glorious green grosgrain ribbon and taped the ends to the back, right between the "digital" white and always artichoke ribbon. We took the extra little piece and tied a knot around the green ribbon and this way you can slide it to wherever you want to on your card. Finally we stuck a little glitter foam shamrock down on the right hand lower corner. We also layered the digital card onto glorious green cardstock and then onto a whisper white card base.

Card #3: The final card we made was taken right from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. I was running into a bind timewise and decided why not create a card that is right in the catalog and put my own spin on it. Which is what being creative is all about - an inspiration jump off point.

Traci - all of the elements are in your kit and I think the card is pretty self-explanatory by looking at it. The only little hint would be to let you know that the chipboard heart, little flowers and arrow are all attached with dimensionals. The ribbon is attached the same way we attached it on the St. Pat's card. Wrap a piece around to the back and cut off the excess. Then tie a little bow with the remaining piece - tying it only once. If it slips a little tip is to put a little glue dot where you're going to tie it to hold the bow part in place. Finally we layered the swiss dot top onto a piece of melon mambo cardstock and then onto a white card base.

Enjoy .... and always find time to play....
