The next ‘4 Cards and DSP’ class is coming soon. The paper we are using this time is ‘English Garden’. It is VERY pretty!! In this class you make 4 cards and take home 1/2 pack of the Designer Series Paper. If you would like to attend either in Edmonton on August 8 (at 10am) or Devon on August 9 (at 1:00pm) let me know as soon as possible. The deadline is Monday August 3.
Here is a peak at the 4 cards – and they are just little peaks!!!
Well at least it was in the Devon Library on Saturday and again in Edmonton on the following Sunday. It was a Card Buffet. There were 10 designs to choose from with the opportunity to make multiples of the cards you liked the best.
There was glitter and glitter paper, rhinestones, dazzling details and sequins, heat embossing, a little ‘fussy cutting’, some die cutting and a few bows to keep everyone on their toes!! :)
The next Buffet will be on August 29 & 30 and there will be 10 different designs to choose from. Contact me for more info.
I am really liking the thinlit word dies! I think ‘Hello’ is my favorite – I seem to be using it a lot. This card used the technique of inking the rubber stamp with a light color and then adding a darker color with a marker. Everyone’s flower looked a little different.
A little ‘fussy cutting’ on the balloon card and just a tiny bit of coloring on the ‘Congratulations’ card and we were done within the allotted time – 1 hour!!
A new kind of class where you make 4 cards using papers from one of the varieties of Designer Series Paper in the Catalogue AND… you get to take home 1/2 pack with you to continue making cards at home!!!
The first set of paper we used was Bohemian. Striking colors and designs made for some nice cards. Who knew a bird’s wing could look like a candle flame! The Bohemian paper has a coordinating border stamp set. It also has coordinating Washi tape which we used on the ‘Happy BIrthday to You’ card. It’s hard to see, but that card also has the NEW really fine gold thread on it.
Quick and Easy, well sort of!
One of the cards was an odd size – Just Sayin’ – so we made the envelope for it too. That took just a little bit longer, but was really easy using the Stampin’ Up! Envelope Punch Board. And we made a liner for the envelope – so easy and created a very interesting envelope.
June 1 was the beginning of Seniors Week in Alberta. This year we gathered at my house to make a card that included a bookmark. It was folded over the front of the card and had magnets at the bottom to keep it in place. We stamped the Delightful DIjon card front with the Comer Garden big background stamp and used it twice to cover the full card.
This month the focus was on masculine cards – for birthdays or for Father’s Day. All were very quick and simple.
