Inspired by Awesomely Artistic stamp set

I have been asked to showcase the Awesomely Artistic stamp set at a special in-home class. In the process of coming up with some designs for cards and also incorporating the Envelope Punch Board.
I came up with some lovely Christmas cards that I had produced for my last class. As I said in a previous post, not everyone has a lot of Christmas images. They may have the words but nothing to go with them, so I decided to create Christmas cards out of regular stamp images.

By placing a scrap piece of paper circle as a mask and stamping around the edge you get a wreath.

 

Pop a Christmas greeting inside, add a bow and there you have a truly lovely card.

These type of cards I have made before, it is the Spotlight technique. Stamp the main image in Basic Black and then choose a colour for the spotlight, I chose Watermelon Wonder for the square spotlight and Real Red for the circle. I mounted the spotlight piece on coordinating card making it just a smidgen bigger.

 

I decided to show a square spotlight for those people that have not got circle punches. I like the circle spotlight better but if you don't have the tools, you don't have to miss out, just cut out a square. I think it works well, don't you?

Triple layer technique class

 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.

September technique class

Putting the Spotlight on Spotlighting!

Spotlighting as a technique has been around for a while and it is a fun technique. I have been experimenting and have made some cool cards. Now I just need to decide which ones will be my class ones. If you have your own cutter and any circle punches bring them along as it will speed up the waiting time as this class is quite labour intensive.

Here is a sneak peek at some of the designs.
