A Wish with Clout
I used this card as a make & take at a crop I attended last Friday evening. The ladies loved making it. It is just a very classy card filled with meaning. I hope it will brighten the day of the recipients. We also made this card at my June Stamp Camp.

Great Minds Think Alike
I saw this card on the Stampin’ Connection and just fell in love with it. This is the only stamp in the Serene Silhouette collection that I had not used yet. I made up the card and used it as the Sneak Peak on my April Stamp Camp announcement.
A few weeks later, I went to a Card Buffet hosted by my peeps, Judy Sumner, Marla Schack & Mary Taylor. They also had this card as one of their projects.
This just proves that great minds think alike.
The simple masking technique creates a versatile card suitable for many occassions.

Faux Patina
I recently attended a Stampin’ UP! demonstrator event hosted by Sally Nusbaum. We affectionately call these events, “Sally’s Regionals”. We spend half of the day observing demonstrations and the other half doing make & takes that feature new Stampin’ UP! products. I have been attending Sally’s Regionals for the past several years and the one held in September was by far my best experience.
The Faux Patina technique was a fabulous demo presented by Mary Derhake. As soon as I saw it, I couldn’t wait to try it.
My customers had a great time on Saturday making this card. They changed the stamp on the Jewelry Tag using the "4 you" stamp making a brithday card. This shows how versatile this card can be.
