This
week we had Class on Tuesday 24th March 1pm>3pm, and on Thursday
26th March 1pm>3pm, and again 7pm>9pm.
We
had 3 new ladies join us this week, and we had “such fun”!!!
AND
… we do it all over again next week!
Our
first project is a clean and elegant “Thank You Card with Emboss Resist”, featuring
the “Lotus Blossom” stamp set, and the second project featured my new “Berry Basket”
Die, and I took inspiration for the colours via my good friend Sally Rice ...
Project 1 “Thank You Card with
Emboss Resist”
Techniques
covered are Emboss Resist, Embossing, 3 Layer Stamping, Scoring with the "Simply
Scored Scoring Tool", Die Cutting, Negative Detail, Punching {the ladies had a
choice between the new “Ornate Tag Topper” Punch, the “Scalloped Tag Topper”
Punch and the “Angled Tag Topper” Punch}, and layering with Dimensionals/Vellum,
Cardstock.
Embellishments
include the Pearl Basic Jewels, Rosette Trim from the Artisan Embellishment
Kit, and Pink Pirouette Seam Binding Ribbon.
Stamp
sets featured are “Painted Petals” and “Lotus Blossom”.
On
the card insert, the “Lotus Blossom” is stamped in Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride,
and Blushing Bride stamped off once. Followed
by Clear Stampin’ Embossing Powder.
I have also designed a Gift Card
Holder, using the “Top Note” Die, which is cut twice in Whisper White cardstock,
the smaller section is stamped with the “Lotus Blossom” stamp.
Wah-lah … “Thank You
Card with Emboss Resist” done!
Project
2 “Easter/Thank You Berry Basket”
The card base for this is Sahara
Sand, with the side panels of the basket having an overlay of sponged “Irresistibly
Yours” Specialty Designer Series Paper, in Soft Sky.
The flowers are in Bermuda Bay,
Coastal Cabana and Island Indigo, and are cut using the “Spiral Flower
Originals” Die. Love this colour combo, which is inspired by Sally Rice.
The little bows are in Island Indigo
cardstock, are we used the cute little “Bow Builder” Punch a bunch of these
bows!
The leaves that surround the flowers
are Garden Green cardstock and cut with the “Flower Frenzy” Die.
For the Tag, which is Naturals White
cardstock, and has the word “Happy” cut in Island Indigo cardstock with the “Hello
You” Thinlits. And the word “Easter” is from the “Crazy About You” stamp set,
and stamped in Island Indigo ink.
For the second Tag, I have cut the
word “Thanks” with the “Hello You” Thinlits, and the wording “for all that you
do” is from the “For Being You” stamp set.
The finishing touches are the
flowers, punched with the “Petite Petals” punch, and secured with a Candy Dot
Brad Base, and a pearl added from the Pearl Basic Jewels.
The ribbon is Lost Lagoon, and matched
back perfectly with this colour scheme.
Tune in next week, when we use the “Berry
Basket” Die again, this time to make a “Flower Pot Card”.
Wha-lah … “Easter/Thank You Berry
Basket” done!
