Class cards

Here are three cards I have made for classes.The first one is a tri-fold card. The penny farthing is embossed in pewter.

This masculine card is stamped with a pear from a retired hostess set. Gold and blue accents were added for aging. The dsp is from the retired Well Worn dsp which is on the clearance rack on www.stampinup.net.   Get it and give my name, Joan Norman.

These are two cute ideas cased from Connie Stewart.

Two New Innovative Ideas from Stampin' UP!

New Cards I made

 Feeling Sentimental card
The bicycle was embossed in Pewter. The card is 4 1/4" x 11" folded in thirds. The inside flap has Celebrate stamped on dsp and cut out with the Apothecary Accents small die. The inside has a white piece stamped with a birthday sentiment.

I designed this card to use some of my dsp that was retired. It is done in Wisteria Wonder using the Apothecary Arts set. I embossed the image in black and then watercolored the flowers in 2-3 graduating colors. I was needing some Sympathy cards.

Valentine's Card

This is a word card that spells out I "Heart" You in letters. The template for the word can be found at http://images.splitcoaststampers.com/data/ee/images/tutorials/wordcardtemplate.pdf

The original template was designed by Dina Kawal and I saw the card from Elizabeth Dyson. This is my rendition of the design. This is one of the cards for my class for Valentine's Day. The card will also stand up for display.
