October Card Making Class – Project 1

At this month’s Card Making Class, there wasn’t a theme. Instead, I designed a variety of cards for the attendees to make.

This first project in shades of pink and green is a bit of a surprise.

Would you believe this image is from one of the new Christmas Stamp Sets in the Mini Catalogue? The set is called Christmas Greenery and when I saw this image, I wanted to use it for something other than Christmas.

In the colour combination of Bubble Bath, Petunia Pop, Old Olive, Garden Green and Basic Gray, this design makes a pretty celebration card.

To begin, the floral image is stamped onto a separate piece of cardstock and then using 2-step stampin’ and other stamps from the set, the flowers, bow and leaves are all coloured. A touch of Wink of Stella is added to the flowers.

The image is then cut out using the coordinating Christmas Greenery Dies.

A background is created using the So Swirly Embossing Folder.

Simply Said provides the sentiment and this is layered onto a Petunia Pop layer.

This is stuck directly onto the embossed background, while the flowers are raised up using Dimensionals.

Finally, some Iridescent Pearls are added the project for some extra bling.

June Card Making Class – Project 4

My 4th and final project from this months Card Making Class is this stripey card.

As the theme of the class was ‘It’s all new to me!’ I just had to use the new In Colors from the Annual Catalogue.

If you’ve been here for a while, you’ll know that something I like to do is to combine the new In Colors in a stripe project.

So, here is my stripey project to show off this year’s new In Colors.

Each strip is laid onto a separate piece of cardstock – you could use Grid Paper for this backing instead.

Then, the piece is embossed using the So Swirly Embossing Folder.

A sentiment from the Simply Said Stamp Set is stamped in Secret Sea, one of the colours, before being attached.

This is  a really quick and simple project and can be replicated using other colours or DSP instead.

I’ll do a deeper dive and introduce you to each of the new In Colors in separate posts coming soon.
