Barb's Interactive Card Class Who would think you could play with greeting cards? We do! In this Interactive Card class there is always something that moves on the card. Barb will teach you a variety of ways you can "play" with cards. Sometimes they rock and roll. Sometimes they slide and glide. Sometimes they push and pull. Sometimes they shake - and make you smile! One thing is for sure ....you will have fun with these and want to make more. Directions will be given so you can do just that. Please bring a basic tool kit to use in class. Come with a smile - and leave with an even bigger one! Looking forward to seeing you in August.

One fold, 6 ways! You will be making six different cards with one simple fold! Using my "Let your paper do the talking" approach, these quick and easy cards need very little embellishing. If you like some bling or glitter, feel free to bring some from your stash at home to add. You can use my pre-printed sentiments or flip your cardstock over to stamp your own favorites.
Please bring your trimmer, score board, adhesives (glue, tape and lotsa pop dots), a stylus and a mouse pad. I purchased the new My Sweet Petunia glue press to make my samples. I will have it at the class and give you my honest review if you are interested in one. See you soon! M.E.
