Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing this same post over at  SHE'S A SASSY LADY . Be sure to stop over there daily to see all the crafting inspiration that goes on there!!  Recently I introduced a card class that I am offering in my home and I thought I would share the 3 types of cards here. I kept the designs simple to make it easy for participants to assemble. I'm keeping some of these cards on hand for when I need a quick card!  In my class, participants will be making 5 of each card. Thank You, Get Well and Happy Birthday. This is one of my favorite cards because the embossed layer gets ripped and then adhered with the Cricut bandages adhered on top of that! Isn't it fun??

I am extremely honored to be a part of this awesome group and I want to personally thank Melin for tir...
