My Stampin'Up class projects

I am still working on theTilda apple recipe cards so those will come in a day or two.  I promised that I would share with you my class projects from last nights Stampin' Up monthly class I take with Kim Dent, my local Demonstrator.  If you haven't seen the new catalog for this year run as fast as you can to get one!  (or view it online lol).  My must has is the Hydrangea stamp set.  Can you just imagine this card in blues, pinks, and all of the other beautiful colors of nature.  What you can't see well on this card is that we used Dazzling Diamonds to give the flower centers some sparkle, very eloquent.  Unfortunately for me is that it is a Hostess gift and I would have to have a party where the total sales is $150-does anyone want to come?  I don't know too many like minded people who share my passion for this craft in my area.  I'm sure there are plenty but I have yet to make them my friends.  I also love the black and white card.  The new textured embossing plate that was used for the background paper reminds me of the waffle like rubbermaid pads.  Another got to have!  Sit back and enjoy the cards and I will be back soon with my finished recipe cards!  Elle
