Stampin' Up! Class - In The Stars

Hi everyone,

Hope you're having a good weekend despite the dreary weather outside!

The ladies came today to make the two cards that I sneak peeked recently which was a success :) The cards were surprisingly quick to make, but effective, especially the tri-fold card! The first card was inspired and CASEd from Julie and the second from Bekka.

Here are the two cards made in the class today:

In The Stars

This card uses a cardstock base measuring 12" along the bottom, scored and folded at 4" and 8". The tallest part of the card measures 8-2/8" high and is cut at a diagonal angle from top left to bottom right to 3" high. The two Very Vanilla pieces of stamped cardstock is adherred to the front of the card base on the first and third panel and the Night of Navy cardstock stamped with the jumbo wheel is adhered on the opposite side in the second panel.
