The class kit includes a package of Basic White Envelopes & Note Cards, a 1/2 package of Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper, a package of Pastel Pearls, a package of Snail Mail Twine, and a Wink of Stella. You will also get the additional cardstock pieces you need to make your cards, and written instructions.

The Dragonfly Garden Bundle is $36.75, and includes the stamp set you will use for both classes, as well as the Dragonfly Punch.
Shipping starts at $9. If you purchase both classes and the bundle, or add on a number of inks or adhesives, shipping will increase to $16 as the package size will increase.

Hydrangea Hill Fun Fold Card

Today's card has a big WOW factor - it's a fun fold, and I used all of the products from the Hydrangea Hill Suite to create it. Take a look:

 

Would you like to know how I made this card? I send a free card tutorial to my email subscribers every Monday, and this is the one I sent them this week. If you join my email list this week, I'll send it to you too!

March Card Club Sneak Peek

My monthly card club is my favorite class I offer every month! This month's cards were CASEd from Erica Cerwin. I love her style, and when her Hydrangea Hill class was offered as part of a creative convention I participated in recently, I knew I had to copy it for my card club! Here's a peek:

 

Here are a few more details about the club:

#GDP280: You Are Capable of Amazing Things

I am back for another challenge at the Global Design Project this week! This week's challenge is a CASE the designer challenge.

 

I decided to use the Hydrangea Haven Bundle - it's one of my favorites and followed along with the floral theme of Janneke's card. I also followed her layout pretty closely.

 

The dies in this bundle are really spectacular! For the leaves on the bottom, I used the detailed die, and then also cut out the outline of the hydrangea and stem/leaves to get the solid piece behind. I simply trimmed off the flower and placed the other die-cut in its place. 

 

To get the soft blue color on the blooms, I used my Blending Brush. I suppose you could use a sponge too. My craft room suffers from severe disorganization, and my sponges were nowhere in sight.... But the Blending Brush worked very well. I just held the die-cut in hand and very lightly circled the Blending Brush around.

 

I love these hydrangeas, and I hope you do too! Here is a full list of supplies for this card:

Stamps: Hydrangea Haven

Ink: Seaside Spray, Soft Suede

Paper: Soft Suede, Basic White, Seaside Spray, Pear Pizzazz, Hydrangea Hill DSP

Embellishments: Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack, Pastel Pearls

Tools: Hydrangea Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Banners Pick a Punch, Blending Brushes

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Multipurpose Glue

Happy Stamping!
