  Inspired Canopy Dies and Ride the Range stamps for my May, 2021 Hostess Club Projects

I absolutely adore and appreciate all of my wonderful Hostess Club ladies, and my team and I strive to offer projects that are both fun and "re-create-able".

This month we used pages out of a book to create a unique background.  Then added the tree die from Inspired Canopy Dies, and words from Ride the Range, and you have a great card for almost anyone, especially for a masculine themed card.

I came across this technique when I watched Gina K on YouTube.  You can see her video Here.  

If you are in the area of Graham, NC, and would like to see what my Hostess Club is all about, please let me know.  

Recipe: (building from base)

• The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of Sahara Sand, scored at 4 1/4.
• The Early Espresso layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The piece of paper from my book is 5 x 3 3/4.
• The trees are cut out with an Inspiring Canopy dies.  I cut off one of the trees, and used it for the inside of my card.
• The words from Ride the Range (retiring 6/3/2021) are stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock with Early Espresso ink.  Then I cut out the words with one of the Hippo & Friends dies.   
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.

  Playful Alphabet &
Snail Dies for my 
May, 2021 classes

This is another one of the eight cards I am offering at my May, 2021 Creative Therapy card classes.  It uses the fun Playful Alphabet Dies, the Snail dies. The word "friend" is from the Well Said stamp set (retired 5/3/2021), however, the Daisy Lane has the word "friend" that would work just as well.  Side note:  I am also using Daisy Lane for my class, hence, the Well Said stamp for this card.

The little snail dies are so darn cute, and can be used for so many projects.  The Snailed It stamp set and coordinating Snail Dies are available until June 30, 2021, or while supplies last.

• The envelopes are cut with all five of the 2021-23 in-colors, Fresh Freesia, Soft Succulent, Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, & Evening Evergreen and a Snail die. I used a bone folder to burnish the folds in the envelopes, and I used glue dots to glue them together.
• The five little stitched rectangles are cut from Basic White, and one of the Snail dies.
• The letters are cut with Basic Black and the Playful Alphabet dies.
• The little back hearts are cut from the Snail dies.
• The word, Friend, is stamped with Tuxedo Memento Black ink, and a stamp from Well Said,
