What a great weekend I had!!! On Saturday my sister Tina and I taught two classes at the One of a Kind Stamping & Scrapbook Expo in Madison, WI. In the morning we made a beautiful Stippled Blossom Gift Card Box with six coordinating cards inside. Then in the afternoon we made a wonderful Sparkly Snowflake Frame picture. I will post pictures of those two projects later this week. Then Saturday night we taught a "round robin" class to 80 wonderful stampers. The 80 people rotated the room in groups of 10 — so I taught this class 8 times in 4 hours. The evening went by so quickly.
Here is the project that we did Saturday night.
This cute Present Card pops open to hold a gift card inside. So not only are you giving a wonderful gift but the recipient feels like they really are getting a gift and they get to open up more than a plain envelope.
