“Create With Kathe” For Thursday 29th May 2014


Thursday’s “Create With Kathe” Craft Class, we had a newbie attend the evening class, Sharon {and my bestie Jen}, and at the day class we had Bev, Kay, Lizzy, and Marion attend.
Lizzy made some yummy chocolate muffins, which went down a treat, along with the Sour Worms {btw these are lollies!!!}!
The first card we made is a c.a.s.e. by my very good friend Sally, Sally had a guest post here on my Blog, when she first made this gorgeous card.


{Sally's "Springtime Hello" Card}

Sally made this gorgeous card for a Swap, and features the “Springtime Hello” stamp set and the Painters Tape technique.

Our next project was a warm up to the finale …we made two cute 3”x3” cards {in Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush}, and features the “Zoo Babies” stamp set and the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder, along with the retiring Ruffle Stretch Trim {which is my fav}.



Our finale was this Shaker Card, featuring the “By The Tide” and “By The Seashore” stamp sets.



The Sailors Knot was a bit of a challenge, but I found an easy step by step tutorial here 


For the Shaker, I used a card cellophane bag and filled it with Chunky Glitter and the sequins from the Gold Sequin Trim.


I love the way the fish looks like it is swimming through the coral and the glitter.


In other news …

Guest Blogger Jen with Card In A Box – Nautical Style



Oooops she did it again!
Jen has hit the ball right out of the park with this gorgeous “Card In A Box Nautical Style”.


Jen has sourced the internet and the world to assemble some light house stamps, and this one is a vintage Stampin’ Up! stamp set called “Lighthouse”.
Jen has also featured my new stamp sets “By The Tide” and “By The Seashore”.


Jen’s specialty is her colouring, and she had used a mix of Stampin’ Up Ink Pads with the Aqua Painters, along with her pack of 48 Faber-Castell Watercolour Pencils.


I love the way the sea and sky swirls, which is from the Memory Box Dies “Elegant Scrollwork”.
The Elegant Scrollwork Die was so intricate that Jen used Baking Paper between the die and the cardstock, and Jen also fell in love with my Big Shot Magnetic Platform, cha ching!


The card looks amazeballs flat and ready for postage too ...


Wah-lah gorgeous “Card In A Box Nautical Style” done, but I bet you Jen has another version in mind for our next “Card Off” challenge!
