April Creative Escape - Pemberley Note Card Set

This beautiful note card set was created by one of Close to My Heart's outstanding consultants, Lisa Stenz.    I've doubled the amount of note cards for our project.   Isn't it gorgeous?



We'll be making 12 cute little note cards using Card Word Puzzle and Crafted with Love, and putting them in this decorated, divided box.   They come with envelopes and a coordinating pen.   Your Creative Escape will come with a slice of delicious dessert too, all for $18.00.   This project would make an excellent gift.   The nice thing about it is that it goes together fairly quickly, so you could actually make two boxes - one for a gift and one for yourself!

Dates are:  Saturday 4/21 10:00  and  Thursday 4/26 4:00
Check out the samples and sign up at Cards with Karen this week!

April Cards with Karen

Here are two of the cards will be making this month at Cards with Karen:

This first one was originally inspired by the Amazing Aaron Booth, CTMH Consultant, and then tweaked by Vicki Wizniuk, one of my favorite Amazing Consultants!






















This second card is from our mid-April through May National Scrapbooking Month Special Dotty for You papers.     These papers are so cute and summery!   I'll have some samples showing more of the papers when you come for class.   There are 2 each of 12 designs, PLUS each design has a different color of polka dot print on the reverse - fun!    The stamp pads in the picture show all the rainbow colors in Dotty for You.  Can you see the cute polka dot butterfly?
