I changed things up a bit for Cindy's workshop. Most of these girls have been with me for quite some time and I want to keep them interested! (Hi Girls!)

For the first project I completed a "Step It Up" demonstration. I started by showing them a simple card which is quite cute the way it is but......

"Step It Up" a bit and this is what you end up with:

Amazing how just a few changes makes the card so much more elegant looking. I added texture with an embossing folder, I sponged, I added a small loop of ribbon, I added a 3D flower and I added color along the strip of flowers! 

I also showed the girls how using a "Glue Stick", you can add a little bit to the end of your "Bakers Twine", run your fingers around it and it stiffens it up so you can thread your button!

• Cardstock: Whisper White, Rose Red

Make-n-Take Project:

 

The girls all took turns passing around supplies and tools to create this card to take home with them. I showed them the "Tap Dance Technique":

You ink up your stamp image with a lighter color (Pretty In Pink) and then "tap dance" a "Stampin' Write Marker" (Perfect Plum) in various spots on the same stamp image. They really liked the effect this technique created.
