What we did at Coffee&Cards Class

Hi there,

thought I'd share with you the creations we made at my Coffee&Cards Class in Dunolly on 23rd.
I'm having a bit of a thing with small cards at the moment lol, so I thought what better than to showcase the Notecards and Envelopes that have been around for ages, also the Narrow Notecards and Envelopes (which are currently in the Occasions catalogue and will be moving into the new Annual Catalogue) and also the little 3x3 envelopes, which fit small cards, you can get 6 of them out of a piece of A4 cardstock.

Anyway I'm pretty sure you didn't come here to hear me waffle on, so onto the cards!

So this first one is the one using the Vanilla Notecards and envelopes, (at only 53c per notecard and envelope they're very economical, and very handy to not have to cut and score you're own!) we also used one of the gorgeous Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers, just cut in 1/2 and the ladies loved that they are really stickers so just peel off the backing!  You can't really see it but the dark circle is actually gold foil card, and the die cut and stamps are from the beautiful Eastern Beauty Bundle (which is only a bundle till the end of this catalogue, so if you want it get it soon, 10% off with the bundles, or pay the extra when it moves to the new Annual Catalogue!)

Moving on..... The Narrow notecards and envelopes next on my list, we created this cute little card:

this one uses the Stamp set Perennial Birthday that goes with the Perennial Birthday Project kit, again the kit is only available while stocks last, but yay the stamp set continues into the new catalogue!  We put a piece of Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper behind the stamped bit, and although it looks like the flower has been cut out, it has actually been stamped by being inked up with the Stampin' Write markers to give it that mottled effect.

The final card we created is this cute little card:

This time I've used a stamp set that actually comes in one of the kits - Soft Sayings Card kit, it's a gorgeous kit that includes everything to make 20 cards, I'd already made up my cards, but the stamps are just lovely!, and Yay this whole kit is moving forwards into the next catalogue!  I mentioned that you can get 6 cards out of a A4 sheet to fit in the 3x3 envelopes, so here is the way to do that:

1. Cut your A4 sheet in half to A5 size
2. Take your A5 sheet and having it portrait, score down the middle at 7.4cm from top to bottom
3. then cut into 3 pieces (side to side) 7cm wide, and fold at your score line
4. repeat with the other A5 piece, and you'll have 6 mini cards (so cute!)

If that didn't make sense, let me know and I can do a little video on it for you.

Well I hope this inspires you to create "little cards" they're so cute and easy!  If you are putting an order in, do use the Open Hostess code: SBN2669E, and you'll go into the draw to win the free goodies, code is valid till around 28th April.
