Timeless Tulips class cards

Having a coordinating punch for this stamp set makes creating our projects so much easier. I can't decide which of these projects is my favourite.

For this card, we used Blushing Bride card stock as our base. A layer of Blackberry Bliss, layered with DSP Using the Timeless Tulips Stamp set and Blackberry Bliss ink we stamped out our tulips and leaves. Then using the Tulip Builder Punch we punched out the flowers and leaves. The sentiment is from the Well Written Dies. To make the Happy stand out we glued it to a piece of Blackberry Bliss card and then fussy cut around.

I must admit I do like sponging and brayering. We masked our base and then used the Sponge Brayer to lay down several colours. The colours used were Mint Macaron, Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Gorgeous Grape. Finally with the Aqua Painter we flicked drops of water on to the brayering.  I think this may be my favourite, what do you recon?

Fancy folds are always popular and this one is such an easy fold. It is achieved by folding the A5 card as usual and then folding the front again in half. The sentiment is adhered across the fold. the tulips were stamped with Calypso Coral ink and Pear Pizzaz 

When the card is opened fully the rest of the sentiment is revealed. Pretty nifty, don't you recon?

The Timeless Tulips bundle is another great bundle that you may want to add to your stash.

Some lovely colours

The colours on our cards are quite yummy. I love the new Gorgeous Grape, I think it could be a new favourite. These were our class cards.

The striped umbrella has been stamped with the new Poppy Parade. I quite like this red, although when you put it against Real Red it shows such a different hue. The Pool Party background came from the new Love What You Do stamp set.

Early Espresso was stamped on Early Espresso card. I love stamping same on same. The vellum was embossed in Early Espresso as well. We used the blends to colour the flower and we also coloured the Rhinestones to match using the blends.

The Tree Rings make a great background and works well with the Calypso Coral flowers and ribbon. The stamp set we used here was the new Love What You Do stamp set.

One Sheet Wonder Card Class

Classes are over for another month. I love the One Sheet Wonder and I think quite a few others have fallen for it as well.
There was a choice of three colour combinations and stamp sets.

Eight cards were made from these A4 sheets.

 

 

 

Aren't they lovely?

 

 

Tri Shutter Easter card

What a fun couple of nights for our March class, check out what we made.

First was the Tri Shutter Easter card. The Easter eggs were made by punching out 4 large ovals and then decorating each of them with our lovely In Colours. I cut out our envelope using my favourite tool the BIG SHOT. The little chick is the Bird Builder punch. I nipped off his tail feathers so he would fit into the cracked shell. Cute ey?

The panels were made using the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper. Just love it. The front and back panels I used Island Indigo and Calypso Coral and dry embossed them. I love teaching this card as everyone gets such a kick out of the finished result. It always looks so hard and yet it is quite easy, just a lot of preparation.

Then we expored a few uses for the scallop circle punch. The flower is made up of 3 scallop circles and then they were distressed to pull them apart making 6 flowers, the petals were sponged and then layered and scrunched. The leaves were also made with the scallop circle punch then sponged.

Then lastly we did a tea bag style fold on this little cutie. We used 4 scallop circles and folded back 5 of the petals then turned it over and folded the edges into the centre. Joining them together with a brad. Aren't they just darling?
