Friday card class

This Friday we made two projects at card class.

For our first project we made "the envelope is the card".

A simple card idea that you could put on the top of gifts, or use as a gift card holder. The easiest part is making the envelope using the envelope punch board. We have used the absolutely beautiful " Venetion Romance" double sided patterned paper. It reminds me of old hard cover book inserts with marbling, ornate ceilings and vintage wallpaper.

The insert is a piece of Pool Party cardstock with embossed scallops. The decoration in the first one are punched Petite Petals and the second could be used for man or woman with just the "Label Love" stamps to decorate the inside.

The outsides are decorated with a 2.5cm belly band and some glimmer paper punched out with the Artisan label punch.

Our second project is a Birthday card using the fabulous new "Scalloped tag topper" punch which I showed you earlier. So many cool things to do with this punch. Not just tags!

Those splatter marks are stamped with the "Gorgeous Grunge" stamp in Coastal cabana, Baked Brown Sugar and Tangerine Tango.

Did you miss this class?

We can run this class at your place or give me a call and come along next Friday. Nerida 0n 0468877125.

Masculine Birthdays

We held our second class for the new year on Friday!

At this time of year everyone is hoping to restock up on their birthday card stash.

So let's not forget to prepare for the men in our life who are having birthdays...

Most of us find creating male cards a bit of a challenge.

How to make a card without flowers, butterflies, ribbon and bows?

Knowing what he likes can help... Cars, bikes, boats, road trips, fishing?

And rough textures, distressed edges, natural fibre, anything wood, metallic,  flags or tool related.

We enjoyed a cup of tea while stamping with some cool new backgrounds stamps.

On the first card we used the new Hardwood background in Basic gray ink on slate grey cardstock. 

An ocean scene is easily created with "The Open Sea" stamps in pool party and Bermuda Bay ink.

For texture and contrast we added some free Saleabration twine and looped it around. A few glue dots and two way glue pen and its all held together. No triangles in sight!

The second background stamped card featured the World map stamp.

 This has to be one of my favourites. A great stamp to celebrate farewells, retirement, travel, holidays.

 We sponge daubered in Coastal Cabana, Pistacio Pudding and Crisp Canteloupe inks.

The Happy Birthday stamp is from the Label Love set with its matching punch.

This card had a few more techniques such as markers to rubber and embossing on silver foil paper with the arrow embossing folder.

How's your stash of male cards going - Sons, brothers, nephews, uncles, fathers, grandads sorted?

Next Friday we are back to the normal girly cards right?

Secret Garden background

What do you do when you don't have just the right patterned paper for the card you're making?

Easy, stamp your own!

Why not choose some of your favourite colours : Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, Coastal Cabana, Wisteria Wonder, Island Indigo And stamp random flowers over apiece of cardstock?

A bright and busy card like this needs little decoration.

Enter the tag topper punch and Label Love stamp!

Add some gold bakers twine, a Rhinestone jewel and dimensionals.

Brown sugar, washi tape and mosaic, label love!

Christmas is only months away. If I keep saying that I will eventually go out of denial and start preparing  ahead of time. Like that's going to happen ... 

This card features the amazing washi tape in Christmas designs.

I love this idea of throwing on some tape and layering some punched out shapes over them to make decorations.

Yep had to add some bling! As you do with a string of Rhinestone jewels.

Launch party projects

Here's one of the projects we made at my launch party on Friday night.

It's a cute little gift box resized to fit a t-bag and chocolate bar...

Inside we found enough room for a picnic ( or chocolate of your choice) and a t-bag or coffee sachet and slid in an after dinner mint too.

I am showing off one of the new designer series paper packs on this one - 

The epic day this and that papers. The colours are Calypso Coral, Pool party, crumb cake, gumball Green, Daffodil Delight, Basic grey, vanilla and white.

We added a clay flower to the front of our box with a few dabs of two way glue pen. And as you can see below the white clay flowers can be coloured with our classic inks. Either before you put the clay in the mould or after its dry. So your embellishments will match your in colour and cardstock every time.

I just love that! And they are great with a coat of crystal effects as well.

At launch parties it's quite a rush to get through three projects in as many hours. But when you think that these cards only take ten minutes each to make there's  a lot of talking, sharing and meeting new people going on.

We used two new stamps - Label Love (that you can get for 15% off if you buy it in a bundle with the matching punch).

Happy Day - a stampset with fabulous rosettes for backgrounds  and fit nicely in many of our punches.

 

Thanks for dropping in for a look... Give me a call and we can make some of these cute boxes at your place.

Place an order of $50 or book a party with me in July and receive a new catalogue and gift from me,

Or I can post one direct to you anywhere in Australia for $10. (includes postage).
