WOWsiers,
what a fab class we had this week, so many techniques, and two new ladies.
One
crafter attended, that had travelled all the way from Timaru – that’s 572km or 355
miles!!!
Jenny also
brought along her daughter-in-law to be {fingers crossed!!!}.
And, as it
so happened, Chrissie recognised me from 23 years ago when I was a student at
Nelson College For Girls – small world!!!
This week
we made 2 gorgeous cards, a feminine vintage themed card, featuring the “Dress
Up” framelits, and a masculine nautical themed card, featuring “The Open Sea”
stamp set and Envelope Punch Board.
Vintage
Dress Up! Card
The card
is all about the layers, the base of the card is “Naturals White”, then Crumb
Cake, which is stamped with the gorgeous background stamp “En Francais”, with Classic
Stampin’ Pad in “Crumb Cake”, then paper pierced with the “Essentials” Paper Piercing
Pack, and then a line is drawn through the piercing with a Stampin’ Write Maker
in “Early Espresso” to give a faux stitched effect … Phew!
The top
tight corner is rolled with cocktail skewer, and a contrasting piece of “Fan
Fair” DSP is placed behind the Crumb Cake cardstock, and an Antique Brad is used
to anchor the card.
The tags
are made using the “Scallop Tag Topper” Punch.
The base
tag is made using the “Natural Composition Specialty” cardstock which is
sponged in “Soft Suede”, and then the “Corner” Punch is used to round the
edges.
Follow
the same steps for the second Tag, which has a base of Naturals White
cardstock. The “Fine Feathers” stamp set is then stamped in random with Sahara
Sand and Crumb Cake, then sponged in Sahara Sand.
The Mannequin
base is cut using the “Dress Up” framelits in “Baked Brown Sugar” cardstock.
The Dress is cut in “Fan Fair” DSP, with an overlay of Vellum, the Vellum has
been sponged in “Blushing Bride”. The Belt for the dress is a sliver of Fan
Fair with a single Pearl.
The Mannequin
also a strand of Basic Pearls at the neckline.
The Tag
is finished with Vintage Lace, Bakers Twine and a Vintage Trinket Safety Pin.
On the
lower right corner, stamped in Soft Suede on Naturals White, the words “Just
For You” is from the “Label Love” stamp set, and punched with the matching Artisan
Label Punch.
A layer
of Vellum is placed over the wording and adhered using 2 Brads from the “Vintage
Trinkets”.
The
inside of the card is stamped in Sahara Sand and Crumb Cake with the “Fine
Feathers” stamp set, and the word “Congratulations” is from the “Happy Congratulations”
stamp set, and stamped in Soft Suede.
Wahl ah …
Vintage Dress Up! Card done!
Masculine
Nautical Themed Card
The base
of the card is “Chocolate Chip”, and a File Folder effect has been made using
the Stampin’ Envelope Punch Board, the File inside the card is Naturals White,
and as also been cut using the Envelope Punch Board.
Clear
Embossing Powder has been used on the front of the card, along with the “Hardwood”
stamp, which gives a gorgeous wood-grain effect.
Use the Heat
Tool to heat set the Embossing Powder.
On a
scrap of Naturals White, stamp the Passenger Ledger from “The Open Sea” stamp
set, in Sahara Sand, then stamp the Compass in Soft Suede. Round the corners
with the “Corner” Punch, and use the “Hexagon” Punch to create a banner. Sponge
with Soft Suede, then place an Antique Brad through the centre of the compass, and
adhere to the card.
On Naturals
White, stamp the Passenger Ledger in Sahara Sand, tear the cardstock on one
edge, and sponge with Soft Suede, on the other end of the cardstock, roll around
a cocktail skewer, then sponge.
Add some
Twine, and tie a reef knot.
Stamp the
Ship in Soft Suede, then with the Aqua Painters, add some “water” by picking up
colour from the “Soft Sky” stamp pad.
Layer on DImensionals,
along with the sentiment “Just For You” from the “Label Love” stamp set, which
is punched with the matching “Artisan Label” Punch, then fussy cut the edges,
and finally sponge with Soft Suede.
The card
{or “File”} inside the card is Naturals White, stamped with the “Hardwood”
stamp in Sahara Sand.
The
Anchor for “The Open Sea” stamp set is stamped in Soft Suede, the card is
sponged in Soft Suede too.
On another
scrap of cardstock, this time Chocolate Chip, stamp the Compass in Versamark, and
add Gold Embossing Powder, and then heat set with the Heat Tool.
The
inside edges of the main card base are taped together to form a pocket for the second
card {or “File”} to slide into.
And Wah-lah
… Masculine Nautical Themed Card done!
We had
many different and challenging techniques at this class, but all the ladies finished
their cards, and were delighted with their beautiful handmade cards!
