I'm super excited to announce an all new card workshop for April!  I've been known locally for my folding cards, so I'm extremely happy to have an all new class to offer at the Glen Allen Cultural Arts Center as well as a PRIVATE UStream class.  In both workshops we'll be creating 3 awesome folding cards:  a tri-fold shutter card, an easel card, and a pull-out tag card.  You'll recieve a full sheet of Crafty Secrets Creative Scraps in your kit, so you'll have lots of extra images  to play with.  You'll also recieve all the cardstock, pattern paper, doillies, lace, and flowers to create the 3 cards shown.

One last note, to my online store customers, anytime you are waiting on a pre-order kit to ship you can place additional orders and I will combine your orders to save on shipping.  In most cases there is little or no additional shipping on the second order.  Just leave me a note in the comments section of your order to combine orders.  Easy peasy!

Another card in my week of  Graphic 45 Curtain Call cards.  I really love the little pop of red with the trinket pin.  Of course, that Prima lace is to die for…  I love that I'm commentating on my own card, lol :))

A week of Curtain Call cards

Posted on by Melissa Samuels · 4 Comments

Hi Everyone!!  I had a little "get away" this weekend.  Yeah, you're better off not asking, lol.  It was one of "those" kind of trips.  However, I took my new 8×8 pad of Graphic 45 Curtain Call with me, and made a few cards.  I thought I would feature a different one each day this week (or, what's left of the week).

It was so simple and so easy.  I used Graphic 45's  Curtain Call 8×8 Paper Pad, a Maya Road Kraft Envelope (coming soon to the store), the new Prima Delightful Day Collection:  Dimmet flowers, and Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  I thought it looked like something you'd find in a trunk in grandma's attic.
