Chick Magic Card

 

Today is the last day of August and I am posting a pair of cards for our challenge-The Catch-up Club!  A few of my stamping friends, Darlene, Jeanette and Terry along with myself, have signed up for a number of virtual stamping events in the past 3+ years.  One of the benefits of these events are that they are available to rewatch or even watch for the first time at a later date as they are all recorded. The 4 of us "try" to watch live and chat by texting during the event.  But, life steps in and there are times when one or more of us are not participating during the live.  Then, the kits from sponsors sits in our stamping area until we are ready to watch the video and create.  During one of the events, we decided we needed to push ourselves (and each other) to get some of these events done!   So--we all decided to devote one day a month, the last day of the month for the somewhat procrastinators that we are, to post cards we missed making.  So--here we are in our 8th month of The Catch Up Club!

Reminder--these are not my own designs!  The cards are the designs of the other instructors from these classes.  I am just recreating the cards from the class. This month the creations are from Sarah and The Paper Cut in Appleton, WIS!

These cards are from a class Sarah did with animals--bunnies, a mouse and these sweet chicks!  These two cards are called Magic Cards. There is a piece of acetate with the image stamped on it.  Then, the same image is colored on a piece of cardstock.  They are layered between the back of the card, with the acetate on top.  Then a strip of yellow is added to the end and a scalloped pull tab.  The top card shows the card as it is closed.  The bottom card shows the colored image when the tab is pulled out.  The original card had the sentiment Happy Spring, but I always need birthday cards, so I changed it up a bit. I was able to complete both cards quite quickly as all of  stamping needed was done and other materials were included in the kit by Sarah and her warehouse crew--thanks!

 

Sarah offers many different kinds of classes through the year and kits can be ordered from their website.  And, there is an in-person class in September where we can make a boat-load of cards.  That will also be a virtual option.

I hope you enjoyed my cards!  Here are the links to the other of the Catch Up Club.  Please be sure to check out Jeanette's, Terry's, and Darlene's blogs.  They may post today or tomorrow, but we have all promised to post cards that we have missed the making along the way!
