So, I had to try it for myself. What do you think?and a close up -After a few of the rosettes, I thought there had to be an easier way. This is what I came up with - a template to hold them in place. I cut 2 1/4" circles out of some (3 actually) scrap pieces of card stock and stacked them on top of each other.-Then, once you have your http://sns247.blogspot.com/2011/09/case-of-mini.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (April Walters)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1768930843052434462.post-5649749398576802389Mon, 14 Mar 2011 00:57:00 +00002011-03-13T17:57:00.497-07:00This is one of the cards we will be making at an upcoming workshop I'm having on Monday. I over looked this set several times and finally decided to use some hostess benefits to get it. For a workshop, it's a nice way to show off several of the accessories in the Stampin Up catalogs.http://sns247.blogspot.com/2011/03/workshop-projects.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (April Walters)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1768930843052434462.post-3414751753413521250Sun, 13 Mar 2011 01:30:00 +00002011-03-12T17:55:04.299-08:00Our first card for club this month was a simple Easter Card. I was inspired by a card I found on one of my favorite blogs - but, do you think I can find it now?? Of course not, so I'm sorry I can't give proper credit :(The second card uses the shimmered block technique. I saw this on LeeAnn Greff's blog and used it in my Technique Club last month and decided to share with all my other club http://sns247.blogspot.com/2011/03/march-club-projects.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (April Walters)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1768930843052434462.post-986811303381148062Sun, 06 Feb 2011 12:10:00 +00002011-02-06T04:27:10.129-08:00I'm so excited, I can't wait to see what everyone thinks of this idea. I have a total of 8 ladies confirmed between today and Wednesday. Since it's so hard to judge just how many of each design to make, I thought 20 of each card and when its gone it's gone. If I have left overs I can either save them or maybe the ladies will want to take some home to work on later.
