Catching Up - March and April Arborwood Card Classes and more

Hi Stampin' Friend!

Time for another post to catch you up on my stamping adventures from the past few months. The above card is my design for a "Make-and-Take" kit offered by Lighthouse Books and Gifts at yesterday's Stampede rubber stamping event in Wisconsin Rapids. It features the "Twisted Ribbon" technique, which is made from strips of coordinating printed papers. If you'd like to learn how to make it, contact me. It's easier than you might think!

I'm back to holding monthly card classes for the residents at Arborwood Lodge. The next picture shows the cards we made in March.

For the April card class, we made these 3 cards.

I am currently working on the Arborwood cards for May, as well as Mother's Day and Father's Day cards to sell at the Central Wisconsin Cultural Center gift shop. Here are a few of the Mother's Day cards I delivered to the gift shop last week.  

If you haven't done your Mother's Day shopping yet, check out the many, varied, locally-produced and hand-crafted items in the gift shop at the Cultural Center, next to Culver's in Wisconsin Rapids.

Until the next time, Happy Stampin!

I'm Still Here! Cards from the Green Lake Ladies' Retreat, April 4 + 5, 2025

 

Hi Friends,

It's been a l-o-n-g time since I posted here on my blog, but I'm still here. I'm jumping back into blogging with some cards I made at a recent Christian ladies' retreat. The 2-day retreat was a wonderful, refreshing time of hearing great speakers, worshipping our Lord in song with over 500 ladies, and enjoying quiet times of getting better acquainted with some friends from my church.

There were a number of workshops to choose from during the retreat, and you won't be surprised to learn that the "One-Sheet Wonder" card-making workshop was one of my choices.

I'll share the cards I made here, and if you'd like to hear more about the rest of the retreat, the wonderful opportunities there, and the gorgeous setting at the Green Lake Conference Center, get in touch with me.

The packet of card kits I chose featured a pretty striped pattern 12x12 paper. The class teacher Judy Lingle had already cut the 12x12 papers into smaller pieces and grouped them with some ivory card bases and coordinating sold color cardstock for mats. There were stamps, stickers and some other fun embellishments available to personalize our cards. Check these out!

 

There they are - 11 cards from one sheet of 12x12 patterned paper.  I have the cutting template - if you would like to try this for yourself and stock up on your greeting card stash, give me a call. I can design a custom card class for you.

Happy Stampin!
