Daisy Lane &
Happy Thoughts for my
May, 2021 classes

This is one of the eight cards I am offering at my May, 2021 Creative Therapy card classes. It will not take any time at all to make two of these cards. Why you ask? My assistant, Michelle, has stamped and punched all the flowers, (she's wonderful like that).

Recipe: (building from base)

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Gorgeous Grape, scored at 4 1/4.
• The So Saffron layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The Basic White is 5 x 3 3/4.
• The ferns are stamped with Pear Pizzazz.  The daisies are stamped with Daffodil Delight, and Gorgeous Grape and punched with the Daisy Lane and the Medium Daisy punches.  The words, from Happy Thoughts, are stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink.
• All done, remember to decorate your envelope

My wonderful Hostess Club ladies made these cards using napkins.  How about that!!  So easy, and just think how many napkins there are, and all the cards one can make.  WOW, mind boggling. 

Both of the stamp sets we used will be available in the 2021-22 catalog by Stampin' Up!, but not as a bundle.  Great news though.  You have until May 3, 2021 to purchase these sets as a bundle to save 10%.   

Recipe:

• The bases are 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4.
• The next layers are 5 1/4 x 4.
• The next layers are 5 x 3 3/4.
• There are many, many YouTube videos to demonstrate how to make a napkin card, and each one is a little different. Just go to YouTube and search, Napkin Cards, then choose the one that you like best.  For our cards we used a glue stick, just like the little ones in school.  
• All done! Remember to decorate your envelope!!
