Hi all,
I thought I might not have time to do a card today because I'll be making card kits today but this is the card I'm teaching tomorrow and it is all stuff you could find in my yard (a few acres in the Sierra) at any given time. We don't really have a garden (too many critters around here who like to eat my garden!!) But in the spring I do have flowers that come up!!Lots of poppies, spring bulbs and a few hanging baskets. We have some half wine barrels in the front too that I usually plant with deer resistant flowers...Spring is more like May around here though so I have to wait a bit! Up in the high country (7-10,000 feet) spring is more like July so you see, the higher you go the later spring is.
This base (the fold-out card), is from Heartfelt but I'm making the card bases for my class to save on cost...trying to keep prices low for the people who come to class. It takes a full sheet of 12 X 12 and needs card stock with a price strip (to be used as a tab to glue both halves together since I don't have 24" card stock). This is not easily come by anymore as most paper manufacturers don't use it anymore but found some at Bazzill.
Heartfelt makes a die that cuts the curved edges and little borders so that part was easier than hand cutting them all.
You can find all the directions on my blog if you are interested HERE
Thanks for taking a peek!

Wow, beautiful and impressive! I am not sure I am up to tackling such a card. Wish I were taking your class so I wouldn't be so intimidated with you at my side to guide me. Great job.
------------------------------ How did I get along before I found this wonderful addiction?
I have made hundreds of cards and so many people say it has brought joy to their lives which, in turn, brings joy to my life. Almost everyone I give them to says that they always save me, which I consider a huge compliment.
