3D Card Tutorial Just for You!

Published: Wed, 05/15/19

3D Card Project

I had a lot of fun making these 3D Dragonfly cards with my Club last month. I used them as both Mother's day and birthday cards (with great feedback). Even though the card is 3D in shape, it folds down to fit inside a regular size envelope. I thought you might like to see this project too, so I filmed a tutorial for you to watch and then make your own. Feel free to change up anything and everything: the colors, the stamps, the papers. Once you watch the video you will understand the construction of the card and the possibilities are endless. If you like the Dragonfly, this set and coordinating dies are on the Retirement List and are only available until the end of May. Here is the link to purchase them:

~ Dragonfly Dreams stamp set

~ Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies (coordinates with the stamp set)

New Club Beginning in June - You are ALL Invited to Join!

My next round of Club is beginning in June, to coordinate with the launching of the new 2019/20 Annual Catalog. You are ALL invited to join, whether you live near or far. Everyone in Club gets their own catalogs throughout the year and little perks along the way (spoiling is fun). I asked my current members what they love about Club and Mary Lou gave such a great answer, I wanted to share it with you:

Here's some reasons I enjoy Club so much (according to Mary Lou):

~ To share ideas with other crafters jump starts my own creativity.

~ Having new techniques demonstrated is so much easier than trying to figure it out myself.

~ The combination of colors often inspires me to mix and match on my own.

~ The introduction of new products in a "hands on" way, shows me exactly how I can use them and often leads to my discovering new ways and why I must order it ASAP!

~ Most of all is the companionship developed with other like minded people, who love to create and share with others. We encourage each other, we add our own twist to things and we leave inspired.

~ I come home with ready made cards and usually a project (i.e., notebook cover, post-it note holder; gift card holder, treat box) that I can use right away.

~ And as always, Christine, you pour your heart and soul into it and your creativity and devotion to your craft inspire all of us!

Club Details:

~ Club runs for 6 months, June - November 2019

~ Each member purchases a minimum of $30 in product each month

~ Each member is assigned a month to be the "hostess", thus receiving the hostess Stampin' Rewards for that month (the amount ranges depending on the orders for that month)

~ Each member can come to a free Club Class each month, we will make 3 projects each meeting (usually 2 cards & a 3D project). The Club Class projects are generally more involved than a regular class project, but appropriate for any level stamper.

~ Club Classes are on Monday Mornings and Thursday evenings, you choose which to come to depending on your schedule. Dates are below.

~ If you miss a Club Class (or live too far away), I will make up a kit for you to assemble your projects at home.

~ If you live too far away and choose to do Club to-go, you will be responsible for reimbursing postage costs to me for mailing your projects.

Club Class Dates:

June 24, 10 am & June 27, 7 pm

July 22, 10 am & July 25, 7 pm
