Samples for Holly's class/workshop

My friend Holly so loved my Christmas Card class that she came up with the most brilliant idea for her own class/workshop in her own home! She is preordering (and her guests are prepaying) for Pun Fun & paper/embellishments, and instead of me demoing and doing a make-and-take.... they will all make about 20 awesome cards! It's like a class that I'm moderating at someone else's home. I'm adjunct!! I'm so excited for this. And it falls in the first week of February, so her guests will also get SAB sets. And Holly will get awesome Hostess benefits. Everyone wins!

I made samples last night. Here they are:

#1 Get Whale Soon
This design is taken from the new catalog... there's a very cute boat card on page 42 that acutally makes me like Boatloads of Love (previously unliked by me).

Stamp Set: Pun Fun
Cardstock: Kiwi Kiss, Bashful Blue, Not Quite Navy, Very Vanilla
Stamp Pads (Classic): Basic Grey, Not Quite Navy. Oh, and Stazon
Accessories/Tools: Word Window Punch, 3/4" circle Punch, Black Brad

Note: I know there is a weird word window sticker-thing under the whale. At first the "Get whale soon" was there, but then I thought it would be neat to punch it out and put it over in the corner.... balance it out. When we really make them, they won't look this funny.

#2 Stinky Sweet
Isn't it adorable! I may give this one to my husband for V-day. I used the In-Color chart to figure out these colors go together. I never woulda thunk it!! :)

Stamp Set: Pun Fun
Cardstock: So Saffron, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss
DSP: Bella Rose
Stamp Pads (Classic): Basic Grey, Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss. Oh, and Stazon
Accessories/Tools: Scallop edge punch, White taffeta ribbon


#3 Hip Hippo Ray
Such a playful, mulitpurpose card. I have urged Holly to replace the white taffeta ribbon with the Riding Hood Red striped ribbon for the workshop. And maybe mount the hippo on RHR, too. I think that would pull it together nicely.

Stamp Set: Pun Fun
Cardstock: Whisper White, Riding Hood Red, So Saffron
DSP: Washington Apple
Stamp Pads (Classic):Bashful Blue, So Saffron, Riding Hood Red. Oh, and Stazon
Accessories/Tools: White taffeta ribbon (but read note above)

#4 Happy Bird Day!
The Bird Day image is my favorite, and I have a feeling it's Holly's, too. (she fell in love with a sample I had at a workshop she attended). These bright colors really make it a fun birthday card for men, women, or children!

Stamp Set: Pun Fun
Cardstock: Bashful Blue, So Saffron, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White
DSP: Washington Apple
Stamp Pads (Classic): Bashful Blue, So Saffron, Riding Hood Red. Oh, and Stazon
Accessories/Tools: Silver Brads, Ticket Corner Punch

#5 Thank Ewe
Oh how fun to combine this cute lamb with the accessories from the Love You Much bundle. My only concern is that Candy Lane DSP is still on backorder... I hope it comes back before Feb. 2 when I place this order!!!

Stamp Set: Pun Fun
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White
DSP: Candy lane
Stamp Pads (Classic): Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red
Accessories/Tools: Heart to Heart punch

#6 Love You A Latte
Doesn't this card evoke the warmth of a Caribou Coffee? Mmmmm. My favorite design, again. I can't get enough of this layout!

Stamp Set: Pun Fun
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red, Very Vanilla
DSP: Candy lane
Stamp Pads (Classic): Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette
Accessories/Tools: 1/4" Chocolate Chip ribbon

I think this class/workshop/adjunct event will be so much fun and a great opportunity for me to make some contacts with crafters! Holly is so excited, which I can tell is working, for she has 8 people coming to the party!! (all of whom are prepaying for their materials). It should be great fun. I'm very much looking forward to it.
