Create With Kathe” For Thursday 30th October 2014

Last weeks Class, we made two projects, a Blocks Card featuring the “Gold Soiree” Specialty Designer Series Paper, and a Suspended Stars Christmas Card, featuring the Stars Framelits and “Endless Wishes” + “Merry Everything” stamp sets …

Project 1 Blocks Card

I am super excited to re-hash this Blocks Card that I made late last year.

This time I made up two versions, the first {a case via Jacque} a romantic card featuring the “Gold Soiree” Specialty Designer Series Paper, with a cute little card/tag that slides into the opening . ..

The second is a Halloween Card, featuring the “Witches’ Brew” Designer Series Paper {also available on my Digital Studio Download}, and also has a card/tag …

I love how effective this card is, yet how simple it is to create + the added bonus is that it can be flattened to allow postage.

Designed by Linda Marie, and showcased on the Stampin’ Pretty Blog by Mary Fish, you can watch the video Tutorial here …

My Mentor Jacque demonstrated her version via Barbara Bicknell, when she last visited sunny Nelson, so I have used these measurements for the two cards pictured.

You can download the instructions here

Wha-lah … Blocks Card done {again!!!}!

Project 2 Suspended Stars Christmas Card

The card base for this card is Pool Party, with an overlay of Pool Party that has had a Star cut out with the Star Framelits, and is then embossed with the “Lucky Stars” Textured Embossing Folder.

Small stars are then punched out with the Star from the “Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack” in Glimmer Paper in Dazzling Diamonds, Silver and Red.

The Stars are then adhered {or suspended} between 2 sheets of Acetate or Window Sheets.

The Banner is stamped in Real Red ink on Pool Party with the sentiment ”Celebrate The Season” from the “Endless Wishes” stamp set.

The sentiment Banner is then layered on Real Red cardstock and Glimmer Paper in Dazzling Diamonds.

A Basic Metal Button is threaded with White Bakers Twine and a bow tied.

For the card insert, the insert is Whisper White and has a Tag from the “Merry Everything”, which is stamped in Real Red on to Pool Party, and then punched using the matching “Note Tag” Punch.

A small Mini Brad secures the Tag to the Whisper White cardstock, and allows it to swing like a real Tag.

A couple of little Stars are adhered to the top left hand corner.

Wah-lah … Suspended Stars Christmas Card done!
