Crazy for Cards Event

January 24, 2017 by Kristina Baldwin

Thanks Oodles Card

This past Saturday, we held our Annual Crazy for Cards Event. This event is a wonderful way to get exposure to many different styles of cards, techniques and fold styles. This year we created 9 different standard sized cards along with 9 mini cards.

We had 3 instructors who each designed 4 projects and 34 ladies registered. It was an all day extravaganza of card making FUN!

Here are the projects we did:

Congrats Double Dutch Card

Card #1

This is a Double Dutch Fold Card which focused on embossing and coloring with alcohol markers. I love how the embossed look not only gives more dimension, but also helps you stay in the lines easier when coloring. =) And you just can’t go wrong with our Foil Tape!

Donut Window Card w/ Belly Band

Open Donut Window Card

Card #2

This card focused on using our Sugar Rush Thin Cuts to not only cut out the donut and it’s coordinating glaze/sprinkles, but also the window for the card base. I love how beautiful the Sugar Rush Dots are–so much sparkle to them!

Crop ‘Til You Drop

Crop November 2016

This past Saturday we held our Semi-Annual Crop. I always forget to take photos to document the festivities even though every time I always tell myself I need to remember. Well, this time I managed to remember (not right away, but I did remember!)

November 2016 Crop

We hosted it at a new location because for the first time since we started hosting the crops 5 or 6 years ago, our location double booked us (insert sad face here!)

The good news is that our new location turned out to have many benefits (closer parking–which means less distance to haul everything in, nicer kitchen facilities for our lunch, the ability to have product on hand to sell, etc.)

I made up some fun Mini Coffee Cups full of ribbons and embellishments to provide challenges to attendees who wanted to earn extra tickets into our prize drawing. No matter how you decorate these Mini Coffee Cups, they are always simply adorable!!

Bokeh Technique Cards

August 9, 2015February 26, 2015 by Kristina Baldwin

Don’t you just love the look of the Bokeh Technique? It’s not only pretty to look at, but fun to do! What is the Bokeh Technique? In photography, it’s when the lens blurs the background. For card making, we can mimic that blurry background look to add the illusion of depth. (Need a more in-depth … Read more Bokeh Technique Cards
