Bee HappiLeaCraftin with Tamara

As soon as I had seen the side easel or half easel card, I knew I wanted to try one myself! It is yet another CASE, however, everything is changed but the layout. I ♥ Pinterest and find so many amazing cards including the original one I cased. This will be one of the 2 cards we do on Club night this month. I hope everyone likes it as much as I do!  ☺ Happy Stamping ☺

Today was a very productive day! I called it my "case day" as there were so many beautiful cards I've seen over the last few months. I managed to do 4 of the cards I had found on Pinterest to do. You can find the cards I did on my bored Christmas Cards.   This was the first card of the day and I chose to do it because I wanted to try this "Tea Bag Folding" . This fold was fairly easy compared to some of what I had seen. You can see the original card  that I cased on pinterest pinned to my board Christmas Cards.      Here is Case Day's 2nd card, changing it from just red to red & green. Check out the original card . Case Day's 3rd card, the original card  can again be seen on my board on Pinterest     Case Day's 4th and final card for the day. I am really loving these cards and will definitely be doing more. See the  original card  and decide which card you will case ;) 

This is an AMAZING kit!!! I got it with my starter kit when I signed up with Stampin' Up! It has been hanging out in my craft room for the last 2 1/2 months.  So I decided to ask my Card Club ladies if they would like to do the kit for November. We aren't holding a group in December so I thought it would be perfect... 8 cards instead of 2. They all agreed so that is what we'll do. They are a very easy card to make and I am all about simple and not too fancy but these are just a little too simple for me. I decorated them up just a bit with some inspiration of other & Pinterest! Simply Created Kit Merry Little Christmas Card 1 I have to admit I messed up this one just a little bit... Hopefully you can't even tell. I used Cherry Cobbler to color the stamp instead of Real Red.... Oops!

     I am always unsure of what to give as a door prize as most of my ladies are just starting out. I also am just starting out as a demo so am always open to suggestions. I was talking with my upline (my Mom) and asked what I could give them cause they are new and don't have a lot of stuff yet, what kinds of things could I get for them. She told me not to buy stuff, make it! What a novel idea!!!      Between StampinConnection and Pinterest, I made this set. The instructions for the box was a video and a couple of the cards I found on Pinterest. I will try and get a link to the tags at least but not sure how to do the video. Here is the link for 2 of the tags on Pinterest   http://www.pinterest.com/pin/544372673678580410/   Here is the card closed with the belly band and the matching envelope if you choose to give it out as the money card or gift card holder.   Here is a view of the box card ope...
