Box Card meets Flower Patch

I had a lovely team day yesterday with my lovely 2 downlines. We'll we did a lot of chatting, drinking coffee, eating and more chatting and then finally Caroline showed us how to make a box card.

Christmas in July...Star Shaker Card

Would you like to make this shaker card, come along to my Christmas in July card class on Saturday, 19 July at Woodside, you will make 4 different card designs including matching envelopes for $12 including a coffee and a piece of cake. This card was inspired by the talented Louise Sharp who I really love her work.

I have used the new Be the Star stamp set with the matching Star Framelits, I am loving that they are so versatile, I have ideas for a Christmas garland too, but that will have to wait until later, as it's time for me to get some dinner organised.
