Here is a fun fold called a tent card. The card featured the Baby Blossoms stamp set and Springtime Vintage designer series paper. The center is cut out using the top note die. You could easily use the extra large circle or scallop punches as well. The card base measures 4.5" x 10", scored at 5". The bottom is connected by another piece of cardsock measuring 4.25" x 4", scored at 1", 2", and 3" vertically. This bottom portion is accordian folded and glued to the inside bottom of the card, allowing it to stand. And the front appears as a window.

Another card we are doing in my technique club this week. I must say I LOVE this card. It is so fun and so easy. I saw it a while back and knew I need to try this technique out. I have since heard it called faux pressed flowers, but you don't necessarily have to use flowers, although I did ;).      For this card we punched flowers using the Boho Blossoms punch (119858, $16.95), in melon mambo, bashful blue, peach parfait patterns dsp as well as the newsprint dsp. Now since these punches are so small we used the new SU! adhesive sheets (120805, $14.95 for 12 12x12 sheets) and just placed our punches onto the sheet. Next you just lift them off and place them wherever you like. The adhesive is attached to the back of your punched pieces, no messy glue to worry about. We placed all of our flowers onto the white cardstock and then embossed it with the Square Lattice embossing folder. We mounted the white onto Peach Parfait, added at strip of paper from the sale-a-bration Ice Cream Par

Here is a peek at what we will be doing in my technique class this week. This card features a fun pin-wheel as well as the sweet stitches designer series paper, and the sweet summer sale-a-bration set. I got this card layout from another wonderful stamper and SU! employee, Richard Garay. I get most of my layouts from other stampers and I do try and give recognition whenever I can. Sometimes though I see a card somewhere and just draw a simple sketch on a scrap of paper. I encouarge you all to do the same, if you see a card you like scribble a rough outline to pull out later when you need a quick layout. **Don't forget now through March 31st you can get free stamps. paper and ribbon with every $50 in product purchases!
