Last Week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa – Dragonflies in Shades of Blue & Green

Last week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa project was this group of dragonflies in shades of blue and green.

When I was designing the project, I couldn’t decide whether to use blue or green for my dragonflies, so I chose a few shades of blue and green instead!

There’s Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis, Pool Party, Mint Macaron, Soft Succulent and Soft Sea Foam, along with Very Vanilla.

The Twigs & Sprigs Embossing Folder provides the background.

Each dragonfly is cut out using the Dragonflies Punch, with the larger one cut out twice in Soft Sea Foam.

My top dragonfly has a light coating of Wink of Stella and is layered onto the other one by just applying glue down the centre. This allows the wings on both shapes to be seen.

A length of coordinating Seam Binding from the July-December Mini Catalogue goes across the centre of the project.

The dragonflies sit on shapes cut from the Beautiful Shapes Dies and the All That Dies. They are then stuck to the project using Dimensionals.

Each of the small dragonflies glued down in colour order from green to blue.

The Lovely You Stamp Set provides the sentiment and is also attached using Dimensionals.

Finally, some Elegant Faceted Gems are placed across the project.

Introduction to In Color Class – Parakeet Party

The second project from this year’s Introduction to In Color Class was for Parakeet Party.

I just had to use the new Twigs & Springs Embossing Folder & Die from the Annual Catalogue for this card.

Parakeet Party combines with Garden Green and Pumpkin Pie, with a sentiment on Basic White.

An embossed background sets the scene. Then, more embossed pieces, cut out with dies are then placed around the centre.

A swoosh of the coordinating Metallic Woven Ribbon is then added.

The Artistically Inked Stamp Set provides the sentiment, cut out using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Parakeet Party leaves are stuck both behind and on top of the sentiment before being raised up on Dimensionals in the centre of the project.

A few small Matte Decorative Dots, one of the items from the attendee class kit, provides a finishing touch.
