October Shoebox Cards

Hi Everyone!!  Hope you are enjoying a lovely Fall Season!!

Here are our amazing October Creations!!

I have been casing this card inspired by Liz Johnson for a long time... had to order the leaf embossing plate because I loved it so much!!  It's using the September SOTM and chalks. One side note, as I was pulling out the embossing powder to emboss the feathers and grateful, I found the gold netting just laying there... so it was added to the card along with a green ribbon to tie it together.  Chalk was used as a coloring

Tis Frank-Tober!!  LOL!!  Anita knows that I am a Frank Freak and so she likes to come up with a fun Frank card!  This year's card is Frank-tastic!!  LOL!! Love the Frank in a jar!!  And love the silver top!!  The Spider has a green eerie gem on it too.  Great Card Anita!!

Julie's sweet card is a fall window scene and is a lovely greeting for fall.  She offered a variety of backgrounds and we colored it in... Using colored pencils, chalks and markers for an elegant look.  Love how the layers really added to this card.  Nice card Jules!!

Melani's card had us going gaga!!  This card sports it's own present!  Amazingly enough, it's very simple.  The box is 6x6 and scored at 2 all the way around and then cut opposite sides and fold together and attach them on each side.  the lid is a 3x3 and scored at 1/2 inch all the way around.  Again, cut opposite score lines and fold.. secure them loosely so that it will fit the box.  Fold the card, put the fold at the top of the cutter and left side of the card at 5 inches.  Cut down 1.5 inches.  Slide the card to 3 inches and cut down 1.5 inches.  Now fold that piece back and forth a the bottom of the cut.  Then invert.  That's where the present fits. Decorate as desired.  (Note this works better as a hand delivered card.  Wow!  Great card Melani!!

Shannon shared a flower punch that we could turn into monsters.  She gave us fun backgrounds and a layer and just let us play... She has lots of fun samples for us to see and me being the Frank Freak that I am, I created Mr and Mrs Frank!!  What Fun!!

And so ends another great card night!  Love chatting and creating with these amazing ladies!!  The next class will be Tuesday, November 7 at 7:00!! And we will plan the Christmas party as well!!
