Make a Card Monday - Time to Celebrate

I had the opportunity to attend the Creating Keepsakes convention in my hometown. It worked out really well because I only live about 10 minutes away so I could drive in each day, and I was able to work for one of the vendors, which gave me spending money. :)

I helped with set-up on Thursday and worked in the booth all day Friday. Saturday was wide open so I could shop and take a couple classes. 

The first class I took was CK's "Cards Full of Sunshine". The second class I took was "Time to Celebrate", a stamping technique class sponsored by Technique Tuesday.

Enlarging a stamp technique (using tape and a Post-It note)

We worked on several techniques and then were able to take the pieces home to assemble them into cards.

Left: masking with tape technique; Right: masking with a Post-It note technique

Left: Using a die to cut a mask; Right: Die cut negative space mask

I assembled all the pieces when I got home and ended up with five cute birthday cards.

Most of the supplies came from the class kit so I'm not sure who manufactures them.
