Happy Times–10 card workshop & Card holder


I’m SO EXCITED to be able to offer you my “Happy Times” 10 Card Workshop, complete with a Card Holder!! Smile 
2016 Happy Times - 10 card class and card holder with words DSC_1345
I have TWO classes scheduled for those that are local on Tuesday, May 31st. 
I’ll have a daytime class (1pm) and an evening class (7pm)...my only request is that I would have a minimum of 4 people in attendance to hold them at these times. 
So SPREAD the word, invite your friends & make it a girls day/night creative outing of fun, laughter & fellowship. Smile  

You can learn more about the CLASS details at my special FACEBOOK EVENT - click this link to access this information.

If you can't attend the class, I have also made up kits for this Card set & holder too!! 

Let’s check out the details….

IN this card workshop, I used the Happy To Be Friends stamp set, the Happy Times stamp set & the Happy Times papers to create 10 cards (2 of each design) AND a card holder.  
This set of cards is perfect for an all occasions and the 3D foam tape gives them a little dimension to make them more FUN! J  

The Happy Times items are ONLY available during May 2016, so you’ll want to make sure to join me at class OR get a kit of your own to create these BEAUTIFUL cards! Smile

You will make 10 cards total (5 cards each of 2 designs) PLUS a card holder that holds all 10 cards! 

So, let’s take a peek at what these card designs & card holder are all about!  For the first FOUR card designs, I used our FABULOUS How-To-Book….the card sketches are in this book & got my brain started as I started creating. Smile 


CARD 1 – Pattern #19 in the Make It From Your Heart (MIFYH), vol 2.

I used the gold metallic marker to draw around the edges of my stamped image…doesn’t it look a bit green?  It really draws out the fern color in this paper pack.

CARD 2 – Pattern #23 in the Make It From Your Heart (MIFYH), vol 2.

This card uses the subtle colors of this paper collection.  This is my favorite card of the bunch. Smile

CARD 3 - Pattern #28 in the Make It From Your Heart (MIFYH), vol 2.  

Using zip strips is a treat – and we use a bunch of them in this workshop!  The yellow dots are a zip strip from the top of the included papers!

CARD 4 -Pattern #30 in the Make It From Your Heart (MIFYH), vol 2.  

The Happy Times stamp set is a beauty, and I wanted to showcase more of the stamp set than just the large flowers…hence this card creation.

CARD 5….you may have seen this card design recently….it seems to be all the rage at the moment! Smile  I wanted to give it a try, so after googling it online, and tweeking the size & score lines to fit my card, I came up with this card.

Here is the card holder that will hold ALL 10 cards and it is really easy to crate!  You could make this a set of cards & holder for yourself, and why not create another one to give away as a gift!

My friend & fellow Spa Girl Jaime, created a card holder similiar to this…Her holder held 8 cards, and I needed mine for 10 Smile….so to the drawing board I went to create a folder that held all 10 cards!

You can see the inside here, just a piece of our striped gold foil paper on the inside pocket, and then we tie the holder closed with a piece of our beautiful Fern Twine.

I was excited to use the BEAUTIFUL new paper pack called Heartstrings.  This paper is perfect for the month of February, but can also be used for many other occasions too!! The rose paper is just beautiful, and the paper with words is so versatile! 

I used CTMH’s Make It From the Heart, volume 2 how-to book for a card sketch to get me started.  I am so thankful for these helpful books!!  


After deciding on Pattern #25, I turned the design 1/4 turn, and created this card!
Heartstrings Card_Love You
I was so excited to see the result of using the NEW Heart 5x7 dry embossing folder on the already designed paper!  I took my sanding block, and sanded just a touch…isn’t that a FUN look?

I also decided to use one of my favorite new stamp sets in this mini-book “Happy to be Friends”. 
I see so many possibilities with this stamp set, and love the twigs & flowers that are included in this set!

I stamped the flower 3 times…in 3 different colors!  I used Cranberry, 2nd generation Hollyhock & Lagoon inks, and then did some fussy cutting & started layering the flowers on stop of each other.

The “Love You” was stamped in two inks…first I stamped it in Hollyhock, and stamped off to get the lighter color, and then “dipped” the stamp back into Cranberry ink to get the bottom of Love You in the red ink.

I used Whisper ink and sponged the edges of the white daisy cardstock, and added a bit of the white Shimmer Trim - another NEW goodie from this Seasonal Expression1 mini-book!  J
