Punches & Dies Class

After a very relaxing 5-day beach vacation, it was back to work.  I've been playing 'catch up' and spending my days answering emails and finishing up all the projects for this weekend's Punches & Dies classes that I have planned.  I found this cute grasshopper on Splitcoast Stampers  and decided to use it on a note card.  This card also uses the stamp set Upsy Daisy.

 

Punches and Dies -- a few of my favorite things!

I'm sorry I haven't updated for a few days but I've been vacationing with my daughters and their families in Ft. Meyers Beach, Florida.  Being a fair-skinned, red-head, I'm not much of a sun, beach person so it took a little persuasion from my daughters to convince me I'd have fun on a Florida beach.  We usually head to Las Vegas when my husband and I travel where there's very little down-time.  However, we had a great relaxing time and I would definitely stay at Pointe Estero Resort  again next year.  The weather was beautiful, the seafood was great and the resort was awesome.  However, if you saw me you'd never know I spent a week in Florida as I kept my SPF 50 sunscreen with me at all times!

Here's a photo of my little grandson Matthew helping me to build a sandcastle -- this was how I expressed my creativity since I couldn't stamp! 

But, now down to business.  This weekend are my punches and dies classes.  I LOVE punches and now have added Sizzix dies to my list of favorite things.  Combined, these make for fun classes.  We will be meeting on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. and Sunday at 1:00 p.m. to make some really cute projects.  There's still room if you'd like to join us.  The class fee is just $15.00.   Below are a couple of the cards we will be making.   I'll spend this afternoon working on another project for this weekend's class so be sure to come back tomorrow and check out my blog!

Sesame Street Gift Pack

I have come to love Sesame Street as I watch it every day with my 4-year old and 1-year old grandchildren.  The characters are so cute and entertaining.  I thought a set of Sesame Street notecards would make a cute gift set so I decided it would be one of this month's class projects.  The cute gift box is made from the Sizzix Scallop Envelope Bigz Die, item #113462.
