October Card Making Class – Project 3

The third project from my recent Card Making Class for October was this striped design.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that I love a design with stripes. So I thought I would include one for the class.

I chose shades of purple, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape, along with Basic White.

Each of the stripes is stamped tone-on-tone using images from the Blooming Phrases Stamp Set and the Terrific Toadstools Stamp Set. Blooming Phrases from the Online Exclusives Range and Terrific Toadstools from the Annual Catalogue.

The leaves and flowers are cut out using the Charming Day Dies and the Delightful Wishes Dies. Wink of Stella was added to the flowers for a touch of sparkle.

Once the stripes were stuck to the background piece, three lengths of Basic White Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack were added.

The sentiment uses the With You in Mind Stamp Set and is cut out with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch.

Leaves are stuck straight onto the striped piece, with the flowers stuck onto the sentiment.

Finally, this sentiment piece is then stuck to the project using Dimensionals.

Designs like this one are really easy to replicate as you can use any colours, images, shapes, sentiments and embellishments you chose.

August Card Making Class – Project 4

This is the 4th and final project from my monthly Card Making Class. August’s class theme was Fabulous Florals.

For this design, I used the Delightful Wishes Stamp Set and coordinating Dies from the Annual Catalogue.

I chose a fresh colour combination of Lemon Lolly, Granny Apple Green, Peach Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Summer Splash, along with Basic White.

First, a background is stamped in Lemon Lolly. This is stamped off to provide a subtle effect as the foreground is rather busy.

Next, three flowers are stamped using two-step stampin’, and the leaves too.

Then, the sentiment pieces were stamped too.

Circles were cut from the Stylish Shapes Dies, with all of the other cut pieces using the Delightful Wishes Dies.

Each flower and leaf was layered onto a circle and the top and bottom circles were then stuck to the project.

The central ‘wishing’ was stuck to the centre flower and this whole piece was attached to the card using some carefully positioned Mini Dimensionals.

Next, the second part of the sentiment was also attached using Dimensionals.

Some Antique Pearls add a finishing touch.

Here are all four project from the class. Do you have a favourite?
