Another
week done and dusted!
Saturday
I had a Work Shop with Bev and her friends, and we made the sliding spinning
card that I test ran on our Crafty Ladies last week {will do a separate post in
the coming days}.
THEN
Monday night I taught at the “Women Connecting” Craft Group, and we made 2
sliding spinning cards.
The ladies
had the cards done and dusted, and we finished up early.
As the class
is steadily increasing in numbers, I had to make up 35 kits of each card, which
made 70 kits in all to be made!!!
I have just
had to order new blades for my Stampin’ Trimmer!
{I will
do a separate post in the coming days}.
This
brings us to our weekly “Create With Kathe” Craft Class on Thursday.
We made 2
cards, the first a d lovely floral card featuring the “Vivid Vases” stamp set
and the Blendabilities Pens, the second card was a ship in a bottle, where we
carried on with last weeks theme and used the Apothecary Accents Framelits to
make the bottle.
Project 1 Floral Card featuring “Vivid Vases” Stamp
Set
The card
base is Naturals White, layered with Basic Gray cardstock, and then Coastal
Cabana cardstock, which has been embossed with the “Decorative Dots” Embossing
Folder. The corners are rounded with the Corner Rounder Punch
Naturals
White cardstock and Background Designers Series Paper Stack in Coastal Cabana
are punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and then sponged with Crumb
Cake.
Random splotches
from the “Gorgeous Grunge” stamp set in Coastal Cabana are stamped on the
Naturals White Tag.
The “Vivid
Vases” stamp is stamped on Whisper White cardstock then coloured with the Blendabilities
Pens, and then fussy cut and adhered with Dimensionals to the Naturals White
Tag.
The “Hey
There!” from the “Just Sayin’” stamp set are stamped with Black StazOn on
Vellum, then cut with the “Word Bubbles” Framelits.
The rose
is made using the same Background Designers Series Paper Stack in Coastal
Cabana and the Spiral Flower Originals Die, and several flowers are punched
using the Petite Petals punch, and placed either side of the flower and in the
middle of the spiral flower.
The finishing
touch is the colouring of the Linen Thread, Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons
and the Pearls using the Coastal Cabana Blendabilities marker.
Inside
the card, the words “Everything with be OK, even if we can’t see what OK is yet”
is stamped from the “Really Good Greetings” stamp set, using the Basic Black
and Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Markers, and of course another splotch form the “Gorgeous
Grunge” stamp set in Coastal Cabana.
Wah-lah Floral
Card featuring the “Vivid Vases” stamp set done!
Project 2 Ship In A Bottle Card
I first
saw a similar card on Pinterest, which gave an awesome Tutorial via "Stamp With Bernie" on how to make
the bottle using the Apothecary Accents Framelits.
I followed
the instructions and then made a template in clear plastic, which the ladies used
to draw around the edges of the Apothecary shape, to create the bottle.
The card
base is Soft Suede, which has been sponged in Crumb Cake.
The next
layer is Marina Mist, which has been stamped randomly with the stamps from “The
Open Sea” stamps in Crumb Cake, and the edges are sponged in Marina Mist, with
one corner being rolled, and then sponged.
The top
left corner has a square of Crumb Cake cardstock which has been faux stitched
with the Piercing Tool and the “Essentials” Paper Piercing Set, and placed
behind the rolled corner.
The
bottle is Whisper White cardstock, and is cut using the Apothecary Framelits, and
then the Bottle template is placed over the shape and drawn around, and then
fussy cut.
The bottle
is first outlined in Black with the Basic Black Stampin’ Marker.
The ship is
from “The Open Sea” stamp set, and is stamped on a slant in Black StazOn, with
the sails lightly coloured with the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Marker.
The sea
and a touch of the sky are sponged with Marina Mist.
Once dry,
the remainder of the bottle is sponged with So Saffron, and when that layer is
dry, the edges of the bottle are sponged in Chocolate Chip.
The bottle
is adhered with Dimensionals, and Bakers Twine is tied around the neck of the
bottle.
A bottle
top {you can pick up a bag of 100 at the grocery store for around $3} is then
squashed in the Big Shot and the gum seal removed.
Stamped
on a scrap of Naturals White in Black StazOn are the words “1 great life.” from the stamp set “Something
to Say”, and is punched out using the 1” Circle Punch, and then sponged in
Chocolate Chip, this is adhered to the squashed bottle top.
The
Crop-A-Dile is then used to punch a small hole through the metal, which the
Bakers Twin is then threaded through.
The
bottle top is adhered to the card with a Dimensional and the finishing touch is
the Crystal Effects which is added the surface of the
bottle top to give a raised and glossy effect.
This is then left overnight for the Crystal Effects to dry.
The inside of the card has a piece of Naturals White cardstock which
has been sponged with Crumb Cake, and has an anchor stamped at the bottom
corner, this is adhered with double sided sticky tape to the card-base.
Wah-lah
Ship In A Bottle Card done!
