Hello My Dear Stamping Friends,
Here are the directions for the August rewards cards. I’m so sorry that they are so late. We have been traveling a bit (playing instead of working). Your packets should go out in the mail this week.
I love all of these cards, and I hope you do, too. They’re easy and beautiful.
The next couple of months’ rewards cards may also arrive late as we have a bit more fun planned. The first one coming up is a reunion with all of my Iowa cousins in Iowa. It looks as if my sister may actually get to go this time.
Our next event is scheduled for November 17th. It will be Bingo. Mark your calendars as everybody loves Bingo.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help in any way. Call or text 303-888-1862,
Many hugs to each of you, Pat
Masterfully Made Designer Paper Card
Original by Amy Koenders
The five pieces for the front of the card are stacked so that it will be easy for you to keep the pattern in order. There is another piece of dsp that does not go on the front—it actually goes on the inside. It isn’t stacked with the other five pieces.
We’ve started using a product that we haven’t used much before. The die cut piece was backed with adhesive sheets (p. 138) before it was die cut. All you need to do is peek off the backing and apply it to the pattern.
There are mini dimensionals under the greeting piece.

Color Stripes Waves of Inspirations Pelican Card
Original by Brian King
Your card will look a tiny bit different than ours as you’ll be trimming off the strips after you have them all adhered. (We used a stitched circle die to cut the circle out after the strips were applied.)
You’ll need to use glue to attach the strips to the black circle. Any colors or any order of the strips will be great. When you begin and when you end, the top and bottom strips will only have a little bit showing, as shown in the picture of the sample.
After attaching the strips and then trimming them off, attach the circle to the Crumb Cake card stock with dimensionals. The silhouetted pelican is attached with tape runner and the birds are glued on.
