February Card Class "Cute Crew"
This month’s class was named after the Cute Crew Punch Box from the Occasions Catalog. This set comes in a pretty tin which contains the Cute Crew stamp set, scallop tag punch, 2 x 2 ¼” clear block, 4 watercolor pencils and a Basic Black Archival Stampin’ Spot. In class, we used four of the six stamp set images plus the scallop punch to make a set of cute cards. Whisper white notecards, gingham gala adhesive-backed sequins and brights designer series paper were also used in all of the projects. Card layouts were inspired by Cindy Baughman (my awesome upline!), who designed a set of notecards for one of our Inspiration Nights. Recipes are included with each project and the supply details are listed at the end of this post.
Card 1: Fox Happy Birthday
This cute little fox with a butterfly on his nose will make any birthday guy/gal smile. The featured colors are Mango Melody and Bermuda Bay. The punched shape was made by use the Everyday Label punch—the image was stamped and then punched so that it was closer to the left side then the shape was punched again on the right side to center the image. The fox was colored with Stampin’ Blends. The sequins were attached and Wink of Stella clear was added to make the fox and butterfly sparkle.

Card 2: Bear For You
This little bear is on a pocket card. On the left, the card was cut 2” from the left edge to create 2 front flaps. The smaller flap was closed by adding tear and tape to the outside edges to form a pocket that can be used as a gift card holder. The bear was attached to the left card flap. The bear was colored with Stampin’ Blends. The metallic circle was punched from the Grapefruit Grove Foil, which is a Sale-A-Bration item.
