Father's Day Card

Here's a Father's Day card that I made for the card class that I'm teaching. I used scrap paper and I embossed foil for the background!

Velvet Frog

I can't share my layout yet but I wanted to share my frog. He is from Animal Kingdom. I cut him using velvet paper that I bought at CKC. It cut beautifully with the cricut! I can't wait to use some more.

Sorry.

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile but I went away with my family for the long weekend. I hope everyone had a fun Memorial Day with their families.

Don't forget the card class tonight. Meet us here: http://piecesofpaper.lefora.com/user/gateway/?next=/ at 8pm est.

CKC

My sister-in-law and myself went to CKC in Manchester, NH last Saturday. It was so much fun! We took two classes and did a ton of shopping. I mainly bought paper. It's a sickness I know.

Card Class

Hi everyone. I'm going to start teaching a card class on Monday nights. The classes will be held here. You do need to register to be a member but it is a painless process I promise. Each week I will demonstrate how to make a new card. We will start out very simply for beginners adding new elements and skills each week. Classes will start at 8pm EST.

Prize: I am currently putting together a prize package for some lucky winners. To enter, participate in the class and email me (creationsbyk8@gmail.com) a picture of your finished card. I will add a new prize to the package every week for 8 weeks!

Good luck and I hope to see you there.

Details:

You go to the pieces of paper forum and sign up. Make sure you log on a little before 8pm est. The forum is divided into several sections. Steph has made a section just for these classes. Click on class #1 and join the discussion. Starting at 8pm, I will post a picture of a card and the items needed to make the card. Then slowly, I will post step by step directions of how to make the card. We can chat while we make the card. This also allows anyone who has questions to ask while I am currently online and able to answer. You can post your finished card in that thread when you are done. I am asking that everyone email me a picture of your card so I can add them to my blog also. Each week I will also post the picture of a goodie that I will be adding to the prize box. At the end of the 8 weeks, I will pick either one winner or a few winners. This will depend on how many people we have participating. The more people, the more winners there will be.

Dad word books

JenniferBerg1 on the cricut message board asked me to make her a dad word book cut file. I made two different ones. If you don't have either of these carts, please let me know and I can change it for you.

How to make the word book:

1. cut each page on either chip board (I use cereal boxes) or poster board
2. cut each page again with the patterned paper or cardstock of your choice. When doing the back of a page, remember to put your patterned paper right side down!
3. glue your pages to your chip board and decorate.
4. assemble your books using rings that can be found in the office supply department of WM (it has been noted that key rings don't work well)

Disclaimer - I don't own either of these font carts so I have not cut them. If you experience a problem, please let me know so I can correct it.
