DOUBLE POCKET CARD

This card was made at a downline meeting that my sister, Shirley, hosted several weeks ago. We all made this "double pocket" card that she designed. Shirley used the Shades of Spring designer paper along with the Sweet Pea felt flowers. This is a great card to hold a little treat or a gift card. You can contact Shirely at shirleym@ctc.net for complete instructions. Be sure to check out her blog at http://thedailystamper.blogspot.com/.

PINWHEEL CARD

If you need a quick and easy card, this is it!! For the pinwheel cut two 2 5/8" squares and join together like a "star". Then punch out eight squares (4 of 2 colors) with the 1 1/4" punch. Adhere the squares on each of the "star" points. Tuck the last square in to finish the pinwheel. Put a brad or button in the center to embellish the pinwheel and you're done!!

"MASKING" TECHNIQUE

This is a beautiful card sent to me by a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Karen G. She used the masking technique to make the pretty flowers. You can watch her video on how to do this technique by logging on to her blog,
