A new class project using the Top Note die.  Attendees will learn how to make the 5 quilt cards with matching envelopes and a box to put them in using 2 sheets of DSP.

Sorry for not posting the last couple of days-We were busy prepping and planting our Summer vegetable garden!  With any luck we'll have a cornucopia of veggies in a few months…

I have posted some of these cards already but wanted to put all the cards that will be offered for this month's Stamp-a-Stack class.  Attendees get to make 10 cards. They get to choose from 6 different designs but will make 2 each of 5 designs. (The top right and bottom left are "CASE"d directly from Becky Roberts.)

Sorry for the odd shape of the cards in the photo.  I hand to shrink the image to fit the page-they are the normal A-2 (4-1/4" x 5-1/2") size cards.
