Kiss Em Goodbye Party

My down line and I had our annual Kiss Em Goodbye retirement party at Norlo park last Saturday.  We had 5 make n take projects, door prizes, snacks, displays and a giant raffle basket (congratulations Sandy Hawkins)

Here are the items we made (betcha wish you were there, huh?)

This is a "quilt" card by Heather Forberger.   Use whatever size punch you prefer, some cardstock and designer paper.  Once you have your pieces assembled, run the entire thing through Mr Big with the lattice folder...which makes it look quilted.   

stamp set:  fresh cuts (retiring)
cardstock:  soft suede, very vanilla, baja breeze
ink:  soft suede
accessories:  elegant soiree designer paper (retiring), small oval punch (retiring), large oval punch, scallop oval punch, 3/4 square punch (retired), lattice embossing folder, pretty in pink taffeta ribbon (retiring)

This is quick, easy gift card holder by Mandy Christman.  I don't have the measurements for this one, but you can make it any size you'd like. 
stamp set:  birthday bliss (retiring)
cardstock:  wild wasabi, very vanilla, melon mambo
ink:  tangerine tango
accessories:  small/large tag punches, vanilla taffeta (retiring), beyond the garden designer paper (summer mini)

This is a neat concept made by Kathy Christman.  It's an envelope card.  Seal your envelope and trim off about 1 inch on the short side (keep this piece for your top).   Stamp the large part of the envelope, sponge edges and run through the crimper.  Inside the envelope, goes your little note card.  

stamp set:  curly verses (retiring), butterfly is from Bliss, which was a sale a bration set
cardstock:  rich razzleberry, daffodil delight and very vanilla
accessories:  daffodil taffeta (retiring) and basic rhinestones, crimper, sponge

This fantastic creation is a Neverending card by Heather Forberger.  I have NO idea how she did it, but she said it's not hard.  I'll take her word for it.

stamp set:  bugs and kisses (retiring)
cardstock:  real, red, daffodil delight, tempting turquoise, early espresso
ink:  basic black, old olive
accessories:  triple layer blossom punch (summer mini), playdate designer paper, pinking hearts punch, extra large flower punch.


I will post my project in a separate post with instructions so you can re-create it.
Enjoy!!!
