May 28 & 30/2017 Playing with Watercolour Pencils

As part of this 4 card class, everyone received their own pack of Stampin’ Up! Watercolour Pencils, a blender pen and a case to hold everything in.  Then we played! 
Using parchment paper as a palette and the blender pen we watercoloured inside lines made with white embossing powder.
                                     
Then we lightly used the blender pen on an image stamped on Designer Series Paper.
                                    
Stampin’ Up! had conveniently come out with Designer Series Paper that was just black and white designs allowing us to colour ‘Inside the Lines’.  (Blender pen again.)
                                     
And our last card used Stampin’ Up!’s Watercolour paper and with that we were able to use an aquapen to blend the colours.

                         

May 8 & 10/2017 3 Quick Cards

A little dry embossing, some quick cuts with a lacy die and making good use of Designer Paper that Stampin’ Up! coordinates so well with our ink and paper.  I certainly couldn’t do that on my own!!

 

 

April 29 & 30/2017 A Card Extravaganza

There were a variety of All Occasions cards available to make – some required a few more steps than others but all were easy cards. 
There were enough kits on hand so everyone could make at least 1 of each design but it was their choice.  There were even a few extra kits available, so those who wanted could make more than one each design.
The first card involved dying the white ribbon to match the cardstock.  It was easy to do using reinkers and damp ribbon.  The card was folded a little differently – nothing complicated.


Lacy dies were used for the next two cards.


A copper dragonfly and butterflies were featured on the next couple of cards...


Then it was flowers – one of them was paper pieced using die cuts…

Then we ‘stamped up’ our own Designer Patterned Paper...


Next a masculine card…


And finally a cute one!!!
