Designer Cuts Class - Grand Prize

Last Saturday was my Designer Cuts class.  We had 12 people attend and had a great time.  I just love the Designer Cuts Kit because it's so versatile.  You receive 8 cards (4 of each design) and 8 envelopes.  The delicate laser-cut  make them very formal and good for so many occasions: Birthday, Valentine's, Wedding, Sympathy....you name it.  The class consisted of decorating all 8 cards and also making six matching envelopes.  The set comes with 8 Blushing Bride envelopes, so we had to make some to match the other colors I used.

Here are the cards you receive

and here is the set we "remodeled" on Saturday

I'm having another class in Portland on this Friday, so LMK if you are interested.  Cost is $20 and includes everything to make 8 cards and 8 envelopes

At my classes, I always have door prizes and then a "Grand Prize" 

I wanted to share the Grand Prize that went to Tracy!!  Thanks for attending Tracy.

This is a set of 4 cards with an "envelope box" using the BRAND NEW Summer Smooches Suite.  Stampin' Up is giving us a sneak peak at the new catalog and one of the "suites" is Summer Smooches.  We can order this NOW. 

This Suite includes

Bright Blossoms Stamp Set

Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper

Summer Smooches Designer Fabric Brads (limited to April)

Daffodil Delight 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon

And last but definitely not least Petite Purse Big L Die

This die is the cutest little purse (helps with my fixation on purses) perfect for a little girl's birthday party, a BIG girl tea or just about any occasion. 

Everyone at my class on Saturday received a purse with treat in it

Here are some close up pictures

Maybe you have been "purse-onified" enough, so I'll go on to something else!!

Here are the cards I gave with a close up view - all made with the Summer Smooches Suite

If you have any questions about what I used, feel free to leave a comment or contact me for more information.

And here are the "envelopes" I made to hold the sets of cards
