A Sassy Cheryl Christmas Card

I created a card using a coloured digital image from Sassy Cheryl. The image is so lovely and doesn't need a sentiment. I was inspired by a card Kristina Werner created on Day 1 of Holiday Card Workshop 2013 - online card class (notice the partially embossed base and the strips of colour which look like washi tape)

I'm entering it in the following challenges:
1. Sassy Cheryl's Show Me Thursday

2. Online card classes - Holiday card workshop gallery

Summer Card Camp 2 - Day 1

Well yesterday was Day 1 of Summer Card Camp 2 put on by online card classes. I participated in the first one two years ago and lots of classes since then. I totally enjoy them...you can play along with the class or NOT. The great thing is there are videos and PDFS with instructions and sketches that you have lifetime access to !! The last class I took was a His & Hers Class and I actually won a $50 gift certificate to Ellen Hutson for posting cards in the gallery !! I put these two cards together early this morning (yup...I was up at 4:45am). The colour scheme for the week is White, Light Blue, Yellow, Pink/Melon, Orange. We have to use 4 of the colours on our creations and can also add neutrals (black, grey, browns, creams, white) I'm pleased with how these cards turned out but have a hard time with random placement of bling !!

I won !!

Oh my...how could I forget to post my win from the online card class "His and Hers Cards" I won on Monday May 6th !! I was lucky enough to win a $50 gift card to Ellen Hutson. It was randomly chosen from all the gallery submissions. I'm sooooo happy I participated in this class and did the homework and posted cards to the galleries. Woo hoo !! If you've ever considered taking on-line classes, I HIGHLY recommend these classes hosted by Kristina Werner and Jennifer McGuire (and lots of other wonderful guest instructors). I've loved every one of them and you can go back and review and watch videos and reprint instructions etc. at anytime as you have lifetime access to the classes once you've registered.

His and Her Card Class - Day 5 Homework

Here's two cards created for Day 5 of the online card class "His and Her Cards". I used "Birthday to Celebrate" and "Trees 4 Christmas" from The Stamps of Life. The side bar with the stamped pattern didn't quite come out as cleanly/evenly as I'd hoped but still looks okay.

His and Hers Card Class - Day 3 Homework (yep I'm behind but catching up)

Here are two Sympathy cards I created for Day 3 homework. I used the "Branches for Flowers" Stamp set from the Stamps of Life. I feel that even though the flowers are blue on the one card, it's more feminine. I'm loving the challenge of creating feminine and masculine cards using similar designs.

His and Hers Card Class - Day 2 Homework

Here's two cards I created for the Online Card Class Day 2 Homework. We were tasked to create a masculine and feminine birthday card using similar elements. I'm pleased with how these cards turned out. The stamps are from The Stamps of Life (turtle shells). The scripty greeting is also a Stamps of Life greeting, and the typewriter font Happy Birthday is from Stampin' Up.

His and Her's Card Class - Day 1 Homework

Here's two cards I created based on the first lesson in the online card class "His and Hers". I'm pleased with how these turned out. I made "Thinking of You" to follow along with the theme of the class and then I made "Happy Birthday" cards using the exact same design/products in both masculine and feminine versions.
