Bandstand Cards

 

I watched a tutorial from Mixed Up Crafts by Sam and Iced Images also had a tutorial for this style card. I love making different style cards and these two are always coming up with something different. There is plenty of room on the back of this card for the sentiment. There are different sizes for this style card too! It folds perfectly to put in the mail. This particular size is a 6x6 but I know there is a tutorial for 5x7 and 8x8. Happy Birthday Jane!



Here is another Bandstand card using Graphic 45's By the Seal

Our Annual Kentucky Derby!


 This is the centerpiece for the table on Kentucky Derby Day which was May 3rd.  I made the favors from a tutorial which is called tent boxes but I made the flap go over the top for the closure.  The Gold image is from my Cricut. I added the roses and the bows.  I think it came out great!


Here is a picture of the table for the 8 of us! Plus this past winter our friends and I found Kentucky Derby glasses in flea markets in Florida. The picture below is just one of the glasses we found but we did end up with 9 of them. None of us like Mint Julips so we made gin and tonics! Our friend Lynne, makes the best Gin & Tonics!  Thank you!
