Hummingbird for Class
February 16th, 2011
Hey there! Hope you had a nice Wednesday! I’ve been creating samples for my class on Friday. Since we’re in the midst of Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-Bration I’m featuring SU! in my class this month and I’ll be taking a Stampin’ Up! order as hostess. If you’re local and would like to place an order, just let me know by Friday. There’s a ton of cute stuff in the SAB brochure this year and you can get it for FREE!!!!
I had a special inspiration for the card I’m sharing today. Some of you might rememeber when I posted photos of the hummingbird nest outside our bathroom window last June. Well, a couple of days ago I opened the bathroom window to find mama hummingbird back and sitting on that same nest. We are so excited! So in honor of her, here’s one of the cards we’ll be making Friday night.
Cardstock is Kraft (Crumb Cake – whatever – LOL!) and Rose Red, Designer Paper is Springtime Vintage from the mini catalog (love that paper!) and ribbon is Crumb Cake seam binding. Hummingbird from Elements of Style was embossed with cocoa craft ink and clear powder. In class I’ll show you how to use a die to get this “out of the box” look. I used Jen’s February Sketch For You to Try for the layout. This was a fun sketch and I hope to get a chance to make another card with it soon.
I still have a couple of spots open for class but will only take registration through tomorrow (Thursday) early afternoon because I need to get all the projects prepped tomorrow. If you’re not registered, but would like to be, send me an e-mail right away.
Thanks for stopping by.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww … I’m already enamoured with your mama hummingbird! It’s just too early for nesting here .. .but even so … I have never ever seen a hummer’s “nest”! Wow!
This is perfectly inspired for your class, Jami. Wish I were closer as I would surely sign up. Thanks for the happy smile of nesting thoughts to come … surely Spring will bloom here before too long … ***hopin’***hopin’***hopin’***

Beautiful card Jami. I’ve never seen a hummers nest except in stamps (lol) so watching her and her babies has got to be exciting.
