SU Demo Training Card Fronts

Each month I attend my SU Demo training run by Roslyn Vest. I have so much fun at these training sessions, learning to make great cards and seeing what the other ladies come up with. Occasionally I participate in the card front swaps, though I haven't done that for a couple of months now. As it is, I'm behind in posting the card fronts I did at our March training. I also have the card fronts that I did at this months training. I really like the new 2008/2009 In-Colours and I love the new textured cardstock. Here are the card fronts for March & April:

Sympathy / Thinking of You cards

Unfortunately a work colleagues mother died last week. As such, I have made her a sympathy card on behalf of the section that she works in.


card group 1
"With Sympathy"


card group 2
"Thinking of You"

I guess your wondering if I made a card, then why am I displaying four cards - this was a common question I got asked at ACTSA yesterday. The truth of the matter is that I wanted to make a card using my decorative vellum (pictured left in both groups), but wasn't sure whether my double sided tape would be visible or not. Just in case it would be, I also made the identical card (pictured right in both groups) using the same decorative pattern but in paper. As it turned out, the double sided tape is barely visible and you would have to be specifically looking for it. Now, that explains why I might have 2 cards, but not 4. Again, I wanted to used different flowers as I couldn't decide which flower would be nicer and whether the section would prefer the words "thinking of you" or "with sympathy". Hence, why I ended up with 4 cards. I will be taking them to work tomorrow and as a section we will choose 1 card and the rest will go into my "spare box". I am really happy with how they have turned out, though the photo doesn't do them justice. I have used self adhesive pearls on the pink cardstock to the right of the image above the ribbon.

Yep, I've been slack. I've kinda lost my craft mojo, don't know where it's gone, but I'm looking for it. Hopefully it will come back for this ANZAC Day long weekend. Anyway, even though my mojo is MIA, I have made some cards since 19 March 2008, and here they are:
