Incredible Like You cards...

So these are what I am currently making up for classes next week... 

From the Incredible Like You kit... but so nice... in fact too nice to not let my ladies make!!!

Especially as they like something simpler... and something that they can add virtually any sentiment to start off a New Year... so this achieves both of those requests...

Delicate laser-cut overlays let the colour peek through on these all-occasion cards. Store or gift your cards in the reusable storage envelope.  Makes 16 cards, 4 each of 4 designs. Folded card size: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" (10.8 x 14 cm). 

Kit includes:
* 16 printed card bases
* Laser-cut card front overlays
* 16 printed envelopes
* Glimmer, printed, and silver foil die-cut accents
* Grapefruit Grove Baker’s Twine
* Stampin’ Dimensionals
* Adhesive dots
* Adhesive-backed rhinestones
* 6-5/16" x 5" x 2-5/16" (16 x 12.7 x 5.9 cm) printed polypropylene storage envelope

The envelope being lovely and strong with an etched pattern too... very nice!

Coordinating colours: Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Grapefruit Grove, Lovely Lipstick, silver, white

I reckon these may be popular....

Co-ordinating stamp set... Incredible like You... may just have to make a little something else whilst this stamp set is out!

Topiary Trio...

You probably can't get much more simple than this... but it has definitely caught the eye of many a lady in my class(room)

Made by me for no apparent reason whatsoever... I just happened to have a couple of coloured and die cut topiary trees from the Charming Cafe stamps and Cafe Builder dies laying around... so I made another.... and now a simple little make selected by my ladies for April classes...

Which now makes 4 cards designed and made a whole month in advance for my April Card Buffet Classes!! About half way there... Never been known before...

So... another small square card blank...  ie 10.5cm from A4 or 4 1/4" from US Letter cardstock... which is a size I seem to be suddenly using for 80% of my card makes this year! With an 8cm (3 1/4") Old Olive mat... and a 7.5cm (3") Whisper White panel...

Topiary bushes stamped in Memento Black... coloured & blended in using Old Olive and Smoky Slate Dark & Light Stampin Blends ... with Light Pool Party around the edge to add definition... and finished off with a simple greeting (also from Charming Cafe)

And I can't tell you how useful the new Mini Stampin Dimensionals were for this card!!! Perfect!
