As many of you know, I had back surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago and although my recovery is going great, I wasn’t quite ready to tackle my already planned August Suite Escape class. Each month I pick a product suite from the catalog and base a class around those products; this month it was the Delightful Daisy Suite featured on pages 126 and 127 of the annual catalog. My sweet husband Dave stepped up and taught my class last night, so it was Dave’s Delightful Daisy Suite Escape. He decided stamping would be more fun with wine and chocolate martinis.
The Delightful Daisy Suite of products includes: the Daisy Delight stamp set, Daisy Punch, Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper, Delightful Daisy Cardstock Pack, Clear and Gold Faceted Gems, and the Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Double Stitched Ribbon.
With all of my Suite Escapes we make 4 cards using the product in the suite and I also include a “Sweet” homemade treat (in addition to Dave providing alcohol). So I kept with the daisy theme and made daisy shaped cut out cookies, decorated with royal icing, popped them in a cello bag and decorated the bag with a daisy made with the Daisy Punch and added a little banner stamped with a sentiment from Paisleys & Posies that says, “My world is brighter and more beautiful because of you”
I’ll be sharing the cards I designed for the class that Dave taught over the next few days, but I’ll share one last photo of Dave adding up all of the orders from the night. I heard back from quite a few of those that attended the class saying they had a great time and Dave did great and they loved him in the apron. That’s my guy…he fully supports me in everything! He’s the best!
Dave…looking pretty darn good in your Stamping apron! Wish I still lived there so I could have been part of your “Delightful Daisy” class and some chocolate-tinis! Hope Tina you’re feeling stronger…good job Dave…
He does look cute in the apron doesn’t he? I wish you were still around here too, it would be fun to catch up.
