I was pleasantly surprised at how quick these cards came out. I decided that these would make great masculine Birthday cards. The Greatest Adventure stamp set is such an awesome distinctive stamp. It reminds me of how beautiful the Magnolia Mood stamp stamps.
After I did the second card on the video, I had to finish the other two packages I had and change the sentiment to birthday.
I used the Calming Creek Mix & Match Cards and Envelopes. I created two stepped up, layered cards with two of the Calming Creek cards. I used the Deckled Rectangle Dies to cut out the train image and two designs of the cards. After cutting the smaller of the card designs, I took the outside edge and layered it behind the Basic White panel in each card.
Deckled Rectangle Dies – Use the smallest one for the sentiment, but stamp it to one side and cut it again on the longer side. This makes the sentiment label smaller to fit the text.
The largest die cuts the larger panel of the Calming Creek cards. The second largest is for the Calming Creek panel behind the train. The train image is the third from largest.
Alternative is to find two DSP patterns that are masculine for these cards. I like the cards because they are thicker than DSP. I plan to make more. These are so fast and easy to create. I hope you give them a try.

Class/Bingo Registration Announcement
I have decided to make a certain number of kits for classes. I am gauging what my classes and bingos normally are and going a bit higher to make sure that everyone can get in the class. When I have 10 left, I will announce it on my business Facebook page so everyone is aware. This allows me to start creating and prepping for the next class I am planning. We’re going to give this a try and see if this works out. Thank you for your patience during this trial period.
Sophisticated Sled Class
A fantastic Christmas Card class, including a “Fancy Fancy” fold. This one is one not to miss. I love creating Christmas cards and the Sophisticated Sled Bundle was so easy and fun to create with. Notice the sneak peek images on the flier.
Suggestion for supplies: Have your preferred product to create snow. I actually used a Sharpie paint pen in white. There are so many mediums out there to use. Yes you could use the Whisper White Pigment Ink but it takes a long time to dry.
