Let's start at the very beginning - Day 9

Before we get started, here are two little tips for you.
1. Put a mark on the petal that matches the lower petal on the punch. This way when you stamp you can make sure that the marked petal is at the edge of the card, then when you slide the punch in you match them up easily.
2. Hold the punch upside down when using it. This way you can see what you are punching and lining it up will be easy.

Mark this petal

Mark the matching petal on each stamp

This one is easy as you just have to remember to put this pattern on the edge

Now we have our punch and stamps marked let's see some cards. This card is the same as you saw on Day 8 but this time I have punched the flower out and raised it up with dimensionals.

The square of card has been sponged around the edge in the matching ink.

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge

Happy New Year to all! It is time for a Mojo Monday Sketch and I am going to try my hand. This is part of my New Years Resolution, to "Get out there" and that means participating, so here goes.

This is the Sketch.

 

This is what I came up with. ..
I used 3 strips of  Wahsi Tape across the card ,  embossed the banner strips and then added the 2 circles which I had punched the centre out using the Pansy Punch to expose the Washi Tape. The colours I used were Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Island Indigo

 

 So now that you have seen mine, head on over to Mojo Monday Card Sketch Challenge and take a look at all the clever ideas and get inspired.

Triple Layer stamping class

Once again my Friday class was my naughty girls evening. It must be the time when everyone finishes work for the week and lets their hair down. We always seems to giggle our way through the night and end up making gorgeous cards in the process. Thanks ladies I love you all.

Here are the cards we made for the Triple Layer stamping technique classes.

 

This is a lovely technique and quite easy to achieve. Basically you need 2 different size pieces of Whisper White or Very Vanilla card. These get layered onto your card base. (use just a small amount of adhesive, as the layers get pulled apart.) Choose your stamp or stamps and stamp over the 3 layers. All you need to do then is pull the layers apart and back them with a slightly larger coloured card and adhere back in place. Such a lovely technique don't you think?

Here are a few more samples of Triple Layer Stamping.

 Prelude....
Sorry this post is so late. It has been a sad few weeks in my household. Our black furry member of the family has been sick and finally had to be put to sleep. He was 15 years old and one of the most interesting cats we have ever owned, or should I say "owned by him" . As we were saying our last sad goodbyes he grabbed on to my hand and bit down, absolutely terrified and in pain poor boy. This landed me in hospital on an IV drip of antibiotics. Hence the delay in posting these class details. So here we go.


Triple layer technique is another technique that has been around for a while and I love the different ways it can be done. The cards we will be making are all so different and hopefully will inspire you to  make many more of them.

Here is a sneak peek at some of the designs.

 

Come join in the fun, you will make 3 cards and the cost is $10.
