You will find samples and details of the cards we made at our May 2021 Class and Workshop.

The first is my take on the Plaid shirt card that I cased from Rachel Tessman. We used the new Many Messages stamp and die to add the inside sentiments. I also made a template for the tie by tracing it from the catalog page of the Handsomely Suited set. While adding a little more manliness to the card, it also helped to hide the paper seam created in the folding of the “shirt”. Each shirt used a 6 x 6 piece of patterned paper. This plaid is currently retired. Brads were added for buttons.

Here is another look when the shirt card is opened.
We used the Grace’s Garden bundle for our second card. The arch was die cut prior to embossing the brick pattern and sponging it. We also did a little sponging with Pear Pizzazz and Pool Party to give the background a little dimension behind the gate. There are so many pieces in this die set (including the little kitty and bird) which will make it easy to produce many different versions of this card.
