Spring Card Making Class - Thursday April 13 and Saturday April 15

Hello everyone,

Hope you are doing well. Below is a recap of the cards we made at our first class meeting.

Unfortunately, I don't have a preview for next week's class since all my stuff are packed in boxes. I will try my best to get everything unpacked (at least my crafts stuff anyway! 😀) over the weekend so I can get the cards ready for our next class on 4/27 and 4/29.

Take care,

Connie

Wipe with paper towel as you go to dry off and reveal images. Assemble card with black frame, ribbon, gems and sticker as shown.
