Now back to our continuing story:
Reunion over, family heading home, it was now time to get some dental repair done (replacing a sensitive cracked filling) and then turn my attention to "Cheaper than Therapy", my monthly hostess club. The next meeting was Friday July 12. This month's theme was Punch Power, using punches to create 3 distinct card fronts. Here are the cards I prepared for the ladies to do:

Decorative Label, Scallop Oval, Postage Stamp and 1" Square punches were used to create this card in Early Espresso and Pistachio Pudding card stock, using the Postage Due stamp set.
Next, 3/4", 1", 1-1/4" and Cupcake Builder punches were used to fashion this fun monochromatic flower arrangement. Isn't that a cute greeting? Love the fonts found in the "Four You" stamp set.
Then on to this quick-and-easy card perfect for all sorts of occasions. Adding a bit of Designer Series Paper (here Polka Dot Parade) to line the envelope takes a simple card to simply charming.
The details are a bit hard to see in my picture, but that blue rectangle is actually a mini-"envelope" created using our Hexagon punch and finished off with on of our new Candy Dots.
The card was finished using a stamp from "Sassy Salutations".

Still puzzled on how I made the little envelope embellishment on the card above? Call me to arrange a class so I can teach you just how easy it is to make your own special touches to your cards, scrapbook pages and more.
I need to get packing so I am ready to leave for Convention bright and early in the morning.
Thanks for checking out my blog.
