Stamp Show and 8/14/10 demo

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Stamp Show at the Blaisdell. The very talented Pam demonstrated an eternity card. Why is it called an eternity card you ask? Because once you open it, it just keeps opening, you will see what I mean.
Here's the packet Pam made in its entirety:

This Saturday's Demo was done by Georgette! Georgette is a long time Taj customer who would give us samples of her folded money cards, she uses a lot of 3-D elements on her cards.
Using this stencil:

Before:

All done!

The card itself is made to look like a seed packet, Georgette used a li see (red money envelope) template. The seeds are chocolate covered sunflower seeds. The wooden flower pot keeps the wire stem of the sunflower in place with the use of Deco clay and just a touch of fake moss these elements really makes the card really come alive!
