I have a special card to share with you today using the new Thinlits - Circle Card Die.  Today is my mom's birthday (Happy Birthday Mom!) and I made her a card with our AWESOME new Thinlits Card Dies.
Circle card Thinlits Die  Be sure to check out my previous post with a video!

Oh my gosh, these are so quick and easy to use... you are going to LOVE them!  Making flip cards is soooo easy now!







So here is the front of the card.  It's done in Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, Whisper White and Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper.  The stamp set I used is called Happy Hour.










Isn't the olive just adorable? I used my Basic Gray, Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler Markers to color it.  The drink is stamped in Crushed Curry Classic Ink and so is the "Cheers!" stamp in the bottom corner of the card.






When you open the front the circle "flips".  How cool is that!  I used my markers again to color the stamp from Really Good Greetings for the inside of the card.

I also added an extra "flip".  The panel covered with the Designer Series Paper opens, too!  You can see the inside in the photo below.








But first, here's a close up of the stamped sentiment on the inside circle.












Here is the card all the way open.  This is a great little trick if you don't want your message to show on the outside of the card.

The sentiment on the top says "Here's to you on your birthday!"

Happy Birthday Mom, I hope you have a great day!




Do you want to make one of these cards?  I'd love to show you how easy it really is.

Here are three ways you can learn how to use this new set of dies:
  1. Schedule your own workshop or private class.  This way you can earn FREE products, too!
  2.  Register for the October and/or December Holiday Card Stamp-a-Stack classes.  Of course, you might as well sign up for four classes :).  Don't forget that if you sign up for all four you'll get a free project in December!  Be sure to check out all of the details on the Holiday SAS Class Series page.
  3. Come to my Open Stamp Club on Friday, September 13th.  You can attend this class for FREE with a $25 minimum order or simply pay a $15 fee without placing an order.
Contact me today to pick one of these options to learn how to use these fantastic dies.  I'm telling you, you're going to absolutely love them!

Thanks for stopping by,
Michelle

These new interactive card dies come with extra die pieces that have versatile designs, so you can use them on other projects, not just flip cards. (The Circle Card Thinlits Die comes with 10 total pieces; the Label Card Thinlits Die comes with nine total pieces.)

    Holiday Card Classes!

    NEW Holiday Card Stamp-a-Stack Series




    **** Note:  the October Class date has been changed to Friday, October 4th at 7PM

    Believe it or not, Christmas is just around the corner and will be here before we know it!  If you're like me you love sending out handmade Christmas cards, but always find yourself at the last minute without enough cards to send.  Well, that's not going to happen this year!  

    For the last few years I've always held a Holiday Stamp-a-Stack Card Class.  Each year the number of participants has grown and it's been a wonderful event.  The only downside to the event has been that you left with only 12 cards and I know most of you send/give out more than 12 cards each year.  This year I'm going to fix that by offering the opportunity to make 48 cards over the next 4 months.  How awesome is that?    

    Create 48 Holiday Cards By December 8th!
    Bring your friends and join me once a month to do your cards a little at a time!  You'll also be taking home Holiday Catalog items that you can use for more holiday projects all season long!

    No Commitments!  Take 1 class...or take all 4—it's up to you! 
    Each Class Is An Amazing Value!  You'll get $30 worth of products, plus 12 cards & envelopes, at just a little over the cost of purchasing the products alone!
