At
Thursday’s “Create With Kathe” craft class, we had a new crafter attend, the gorgeous
Sue.
We
had an afternoon filled with giggles, as Bev and Kay were also able to come
along and enjoy the fun!
This
week we made two cards, the second card I believed would be the harder of the
two to make, but these awesome ladies had the second card done and dusted
within 30 minutes!
The
first card is case’d by a card that I made on Tuesday with my Tutor and Mentor
Jacque, who was in town for the day.
I
adapted it, as I did not own {yet – they are in my latest Stampin’ Up! order!}
the SU Heart Framelits, instead I switched the Hearts out for the Labels
Collection Framelits.
The
flower was the first item to be made, first punching 3x Blossom Punch in “Blushing
Bride”, 2x Pansy Punch in “Blushing Bride” and 2x Pansy Punch in “Always Artichoke”.
The
flowers were then embossed with the “Square Lattice” embossing folder. The
flower petals were curled with the Bone Folder, then braded with a Candy Dots
Brad Base, with a Pearl to finish off the centre.
The
flowers were then spritzed with the Smooch Spritz, and then left to dry.
Once
dry I then sponged the tips of the petals in “Sahara Sand”.
The
background stamp which is heat embossed in Black, is my favourite stamp, the “Hardwood”
stamp form the Occasions Brochure, available till 30th June 2014.
And
I had to break out my new “Little Leaves Sizzlits”, and at only $11.50, I don’t
know why I hadn't purchased these before!!!
These
perfectly framed the flower, above the sentiment…
“Sending
Good Thoughts Your Way’ is from the “Perfect Pennants” stamp set, and is
stamped in “Always Artichoke” on Naturals White cardstock.
The
inside message first stamped in “Blushing Bride” {for the background}, then with
“Always Artichoke” are the words “Thank You You’re The Best” from “Hello,
Lovely” stamp set.
Finished
off with a sweet little heart in Blushing Bride cardstock and an extra
Pearl,
and this card is complete.
The
second card we made, tested the ladies, as they learnt some new techniques along
the way …
The
card base is Naturals White, with an overlay off the Sale-A-Bration “Sweet
Sorbet” Designer Series Paper, and Coastal Cabana on the inside of the card.
The
Scalloped Tag Topper Punch is used to create the fancy closing of the card,
which is tied with Ruffled Stretch Trim in Coastal Cabana.
The
sentiment is from the “Perfect Pennants” stamp set and hand coloured with
Stampin’ Markers in Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point and Old Olive. Stamped on Naturals White and adhered to the Coastal Cabana cardstock, and then placed on Dimensionals.
A
window is cut with the Circles Collection Framelits, and peaking through the
{Circular} window is the cutest hand painted flower!
The
background of the card is first stamped in graduating colours of Pool Party,
Coastal Cabana, and Bermuda Bay, using the gorgeous watermark stamp from the “Happy
Watercolor” stamp set.
From
that same stamp set, the Pansy is stamped in Black StazOn, before starting to
colour the Pansy, using the end of a pencil and Versamark, make 3 little round
splotches in the centre of the flower, then cover in Gold Embossing Powder and
heat set.
Hand
colour with a Blender Pen and the Pacific Point stamp pad.
After
colouring with the Blender Pen, add 3 little Pearls to the centre of the Pansy.
To
finish the card, using the Versamark and Gold Embossing Powder, add the cute
little circles to the corner of the card, from the “Happy Watercolor” stamp
set.
Wah
lah, card done!
