Sprung has Sprung was the theme for last night’s monthly card class (and this morning’s too).
There is a slight twist to it, as yesterday was Red Nose Day and 50% of the class fee from last night and today is being donated to Comic Relief – 100% if people wore their red noses (red hair and boppers counted too). Last night we raised £40 and there will be more to add from later today.
Many thanks to Nicky for making the Red Nose cupcakes, even though she could not make it to class because she had her son’s school play to go to. They were delicious as always.
There were four projects in class and here is one of them.
I have seen quite a few of these flower pot cards around on the internet but I thought I would make one using the new Secret Garden stamp set from the Spring/Summer catalogue.
To save time I also used a template that I found from Andrea Walford to make the flower pot and of course the fabulous framelit dies that co-ordinate with the Secret Garden stamp set. I firmly believe in making and taking the easy route if there is a co-ordinating punch or die. Cutting out is very therapeutic but with a class of people, using the Big Shot and Dies is a “no brainer”.
