 My first cardmaking event was last year, September 2022 and it blew me away and I have not missed one since. The next one is coming up at the end of September so I thought I better wrap up the bonus classes from last year! These were over and above what I thought I was signing up for so I haven’t really had a chance to finish them. I learned some fun techniques from these extra classes and I can’t wait til the next one.

 I was inspired by a Jennifer McGuire video to make these cards.  https://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2023/07/must-try-4-for-1-card-technique-a-favorite-free-gift.html  I used an altenew stencil and Gina K dies, stamps, and embossing folders. Using the layered stencils this way gives such a different look than making just one card front at a time. I had a few Pinkfresh studio foiled butterflies leftover from another project I added for accents.

 At my last craft retreat a few weeks ago I went a little crazy with this butterfly turnabout stamp from the Concord &9th  inventory sale this summer. It was so fun to try different color combinations, different sentiments with it, and adding the pop up butterfly from another set. I forgot I made these and found them today! I started out just stamping, then I tried shading the colors a bit and I love how those turned out.
