Tech Classes back for 2010
Posted by Nicki | Under Cardmaking, Stampin Up Saturday Feb 13, 2010Well, it was great to be back into Tech Classes this week, although I’m not sure that everyone got the email as the numbers were down, but that’s ok, we always catch up.
So this week, we did a technique that I must admit has had me intimidated for quite a while. Although, like most things that intimidate us, it was not a big deal after all. So, what am I talking about?? This intimidating technique ??? It was a suspension card. I LOVE the look of these cards, and have been given a few of them over the years, but still I hadn’t tried to make one. However, I can assure you, that now that I have made one and realised how easy they are, I will be making many more. Now when I made this card, I made two versions, one as a suspension card and one not a suspension card. Make sure you let me know which one you prefer.
Firstly, the one without the suspension insert. I am LOVING this colour combo of Almost Amethyst, Kiwi Kiss, Choc chip and Very Vanilla.

Secondly, I have my birdcage suspended in this one….how cute is this?!?

Now the best thing about this card is that once you buy the stamp sets, you earn the Sale-a-Bration stamp set that contains the birdcage (Happy Moments) for free.
Stamp Sets: Baroque Motifs$39.95, En Francais $33.95, Simply Said $48.95
Accessories: 1 & 3/4″ circle punch $30.95
Just drop me an email or give me a call if you are interested in purchasing any of our products, and remember you can order anytime.
Thanks for looking and I hope you like at least one of the cards, if not both.
till next time, happy stamping,

Hey Nic
Both cards are nice, but I personally love the first card.
Looking forward to Nix Chix starting back up!
OMG how clever are you? I LOVE the first card with the combo of Baroque Motifs, the heart from Simply Said and the bird cage which is my fave set at the moment. I LOVE it…. You are making me want to go to my desk and case you….
