This is another of the cards we did in my February class. It features a Sale-A-Bration set Avant Garden, which is available for FREE with your $50 order through the end of March! We stamped the image in VersaMark and sprinkled with clear embossing powder. Once it was heat-set then we sponged over the images with either Sweet Sugarplum or Mint Macaron inks. The embossed images resist the ink, and once wiped with a tissue to remove any stray ink they pop out from the soft color surrounding them.
The sentiments were also stamped in VesaMark, sprinkled with white embossing powder and heat set on coordinating card stock that I flagged with the Banner Triple Punch. This set has a nice collection of sentiments, very versatile for making spring cards. A strip of coordinating ribbon was wrapped around the front of the image panel and secured to the back, with another length tied into a bow and affixed with Glue Dots. The panel was popped up on the Thick Whisper White card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. These two cards are a nice addition to my stash to send out Spring greetings!

Here's another card we made in my February class:
I CASE'd this one from Connie Stewart, but changed the color scheme a bit since I used a different Designer Series Paper (DSP) - Succulent Garden. One thing I continue to love about SU!'s patterned papers is that one side will coordinate strongly with the pack's theme (e.g., succulents), while the other will coordinate in colors but be theme-neutral, like the side used on this card.
The flamingo and hello stamp are from Pop of Paradise. I inked the flamingo in Calypso Coral, then used my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker's brush tip to swipe color onto the legs, beak and eyelid right over the Calypso Coral. Hello is stamped in Tip Top Taupe and cut out with Layering Circles Framlits along with the Mint Macaron layer below it. Carried Away Class RSVP Deadline is Tuesday

Stampin' Up!'s online system is experiencing a global outage today. They've been working to restore it since the wee hours to no avail. We don't know when it will be back up, but in the meantime here's a paper wishlist to note what you want to order when it is. 
 Fingers crossed - I think I've found my mojo again. I struggled with this month's class selections, but I'm happy with what I settled on in the end. I even went on to make a card that had elements sitting on my desk for about 6 weeks waiting for inspiration...I'll show that one after my class cards. This card was CASE'd from someone online...so sorry I didn't Pin it properly to get the artist's info. She used one of the Celebrations Duo embossing folders and the coordinating Happy Celebrations stamp set to make her card front. I purchased the embossing folders, but somehow decided I didn't need the stamp set, so I had to dig through my stash to find substitutes. Fortunately, one of the stamps from Work of Art was a good match for the "blotch" over the letters, and I was able to cobble together the sentiment from the Crazy about You set. The embossing folder actually "de-bosses" the sentiment, so that the impression is sunken, which comes into relief when we stamped over it with the Work of Art blotch. We used the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to get ideal placement since the set is not photopolymer (and in fact mine is wood mount!). The Party Animal Designer Series Paper set the color scheme of Emerald Envy, Pacific Point, Crushed Curry and Whisper White. I also enjoyed adding the party hat embellishment along with two balloons stamped with Balloon Adventures images and punched out with the Balloon Bouquet punch. But wait, that's not all!  Inside we made a whole 'nother image panel! This one features the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies and coordinating Balloon Adventures stamp set. Instead of using the large die to make a pop-up (see an example here), we made a flat panel by centering the die on a 4" x 5.23" piece of Whisper White. More die cuts for the balloon patterns plus a bit of stamping equals a fancy inside panel that could be a card front itself. Want to get in on the stamping fun?

I realized this weekend I've been in a non-card-making rut for a couple of months now! I pulled it together for my classes in January, but really, that's about it. I can make a good list of the reasons why, but I don't want to bore you. Suffice it to say that I'm ready to slough it off and get creating again!
My baby step yesterday was to CASE this card from Bec Ross:
