10 card class: From A Good Egg and Inspired by Nature, to Aviary and Herb Expressions...

I hosted a 10-card class with these five card designs. Above, A Good Egg with some Tangerine Tango dsp (from the Brights pad), 5/8" Old Olive satin ribbon and faux stitching (paper piercing holes first then connecting them with a white gel pen). I saw a smaller card like this on Diana Gibbs' blog.

Inspired by Nature has always been one of my favorite sets, but I haven't used it for months! We used Old Olive, Poppy Parade and Early Espresso markers to ink up the stamp. The sentiment is from the Level 3 hostess set Occasional Quotes. The rubber was resisting the Poppy Parade ink, so while my flower looks a bit mottled, I used an adhesive eraser on the rubber that worked wonders for my customers! The ink went on smoothly.

I started with the flower pattern from the Pawsitively Prints II dsp pack and added the Poppy Parade ribbon and butterflies. The smaller butterfly and curly sentiment are from Flight of the Butterfly. The big butterfly is from Butterfly Prints. Of course the big butterfly had to have a big rhinestone on it!

I cut a half-inch from the top right of this card, then used the Scallop Border Punch and ran it through the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. There's a 1-inch strip of Sweet Stitches dsp adhered inside the card. I used the 3" circle die for the Big Shot for the front layer, stamping the cage and bird from Aviary. Everyone could select a sentiment from Teeny, Tiny Wishes.

I started with Lap of Luxury dsp on this Easter card. The sentiment is from Something to Celebrate, a Level 2 hostess set, and the main stamp set is Herb Expressions. This card also uses the Scallop Trim Border Punch and 3/8" Pretty in Pink taffeta.

Star punches and Inspired by Nature recent CASE cards...

Just like you, I'll surf some blogs looking for stamping inspiration. Unfortunately with these three cards, I lost the original creators' names... so if one of these is yours, please let me know and I'll give you credit.
This first card is Very Vanilla with a variety of punched stars in Crushed Curry, Chocolate Chip, Only Orange and Ballet Blue card stocks. We wrapped the gold cord around the card front three times before knotting it.

These cards were both featured at my recent Man Card Stamp-a-Stack. The star card is easy to change for any male relative using the Wonderful Favorites stamp set.

This Soft Suede card uses the Inspired by Nature stamp set, with a dragonfly from Nature's Nest. We stamped the dragonfly on the card and on a piece of vellum, then just cut out and adhered the vellum wings with Mini Glue Dots.

Inspired by Nature birthday card...

Inspired by Nature is one of my favorite stamp sets in the catalog right now. It looks gorgeous no matter which colors you choose.

This is a Whisper White card with a strip of Bashful Blue card stock that's been run through the Finial Press embossing folder for the Big Shot. It has a strip of Certainly Celery under the right side that's been punched with the Scallop Trim Border Punch.

A knot of white organza wraps around the two layers.

I used Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery markers on the rubber for the flowers and the greeting (which is from Well Scripted in the Occasions Mini).

All of the top three layers have the top left and bottom right corners punched with the corner rounder punch.

I CASE'd this card from Julie Buhler.

Grateful Greetings and Inspired by Nature...

These pumpkins, stems and leaves were created with the Table Setting die for the Big Shot with Pumpkin Pie and Garden Green card stocks.

The idea was CASE'd from here.

The grass image is from the Inspired by Nature stamp set, and the sentiment is from the Grateful Greetings set featured in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

Other items used include the Ticket Corner Punch, sponge dauber and Earth Elements brads.
