Another fun time of making cards with friends, this time with Judi & Catherine at a stamp store in Chandler – Craft Fusion.
Most of the stamps, techniques, inks and embellishments we used were Ranger products – Tim Holtz kind of things. Dana was the teacher – super nice and very helpful – and the cards were gorgeous!! Oh, and of course, the store had ‘nothing’ I needed!!
Yes, I am in the warm south. (Sorry all you snowbound freezing people!) And I found a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, Holly, who was having a class at just the right time. Catherine (who travelled down with me) and I attended and had great fun as well as learning a few new techniques!
Here are the cards we made…
Crisp Cantaloupe with a Touch of Soft Suede sponged on the edges of the images for the birthday card. For the Christmas Card we first heat embossed images on Shimmery white paper and then used an aqua pen with Marina Mist ink to paint over.
The three wreath images were inked with different greens and all images were die cut. Stampin’ Up! has made it very easy to line up the images and the dies. The last Christmas card was a little time consuming to make (it’s not going to be one of the 3 Quick Cards!), but very easy and well worth the time spent.
