September Techniques & Fancy Folds Class

Technique Cards opened, yay!

Technique Card, closed

With the kids going back in school, it's only fitting that we learn some new things this month too, but ours will be only fun!  If you've been reading this stamping blog or attending my classes, you know that I love to make cards that are a bit different, especially ones that have a bit of a surprise!

The first die-cut card is obviously a camera, but opened it becomes either a mini scrapbook album (so appropriate!) or a multi-page card with all of your good wishes plus a pocket for a gift card or paper money! I've included pics of my grandson's 3rd birthday, imagine what you could do for someone special to you. Vacation pictures would also be fun, you could add more fold out pages to include a lot of them!

I'm especially tickled with the next one, which quietly lies flat in its standard sized envelope.  When opened up, it becomes very 3-dimensional, and you can add a number of different elements to make it really pop! We're using the cute Kind Koala stamp for great versatility here, but imagine what you can add to make a fun surprise for a birthday, anniversary, new baby, or other celebration!

The final Box-Top Card gives you lots of different squares to decorate on the front and a nice place to include another gift card pocket inside if you wish.  I'll also include  measurements so that you can choose other options to change the size and colors of the card base, so fun to do with your different colors of card stock and Designer Series papers!

As with all my Techniques Classes, printed directions with measurements are included with the class.

Be sure to come, you and your stamping friends won't want to miss this!
