Last night was stamp club. The girls celebrated my birthday(belatedly) with a pot luck supper. We had everything from pizza to black bean salsa to sweet potato pie to fresh fruit. There was a large variety. Linda lead us in making a really cool sunflower card. You start with the largest scallop circle punch you have. With the circle punch out you fold it in half and in half again. Then fold that in half once more. (Not sure here if there is one more fold in half at this point or not) But then you trim off a sliver of paper from both sides starting at the scalloped edge cutting towards the point.(Do not cut all the way down to the point) Linda instructed us to cut in a curved manner. When I opened my paper to reveal a neat looking flower the sides of each petal were straight. Linda's had a nice rounded edge to them. Well I thought I will try this again as we had two more punched circles to fold and cut. No matter how hard i tried to cut a rounded edge my flower petals all ended up having straight edges. We had two more smaller circles that needed to be folded and cut as well. But when it was all put together it looked pretty darn good! I will try to get a picture of it and post it here.
I do want to thank Linda, Donna, Kathy A, Sandy, Cri, Barbara D.,Patti, Cindy,Karen, Carol and Sue B. I got some really cool birthday cards.....
