Making Strides Class


Hi ladies! Here are the cards from the Making Strides for Breast Cancer fundraiser a few weeks ago.  If you received a kit in the mail, you will be making 2 of each card style, usually in different colors.

Sympathy card: you will have a green base and a blue base, a green mat and a blue mat.  There is sticky tape on the back of the white striped mat- that is to hold down your ribbon (tie the 2nd piece of ribbon around the first after it's stuck down.  The intention was for the blue card to go with the blue mat and vice versa but these are your cards so you can do the however you'd like.

Isn't she cute???!!!!  This is Totally Tess from Stampin' UP! last year.  All of the papers with this card coordinate so you can use whichever side you'd like.

I'm having operator errors with this pic- it won't go straight for me! If you notice on the blue card, there are 2 scalloped edges: 1 on either side of the patterned paper.  There are only 2 of those pieces in your kit so they will only have the border on one side of the patterned paper.

Doesn't get any easier than this! The branches already have sticker stuff on the back so you just peel the paper off on both sides and stick! 

Again with the picture stuff! Grrr!  The completely assembled card on the bottom is the sample but instead of green, you have red.  There is a blue mat and a red mat and you can arrange your "ribbon" pieces anyway you want.  There are 2 ribbons in a little baggie floating around in your package that attach to these cards.  Use the glue dots included to stick buttons on the cards.

It really is easy, so don't say you can't do it!  I did the hard part by cutting everything- all you have to do is tape together!!!!
