December 13, 2010 Card Making Class

Happy Holidays everyone!
This is going to be a quick post.  Below are the cards we made in our last class meeting.  As usual, everyone brought lots of food with not much time to eat.

The black and white birthday card was made by placing the dress, shoes & purse stickers on pattern papers and cut out.  The black panel edges were punched out from EK Success border punch and trimmed with more silver stickers.

The anniversary card was made from different types of pattern paper strips taped on double-sided tape on the die cut heart shape card stock with Japanese Mizuhiki strips.  Adhere with foam tape on top of cream texture paper background, mat with olive color paper, and add ribbon before adhering on to card.

This Iris Folding pudding cake was made using 3 different color pattern papers and following the pattern.  Start by tracing the curve of the plate on to gray pattern paper, add the strips of color pattern papers on lower part of the cake, and then follow the numbering pattern.  The candles were punched out of red and yellow card stock and glue together.

 In response to Ellen's request, we did these fun gift tags using an old Hero Arts stamp set and some business card paper that I bought a while ago.  The images were stamped with pigment black ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  The tags were then colored with Twinkling H2O; the buttons were threaded with yarn and adhered with double stick tapes.

That's it for now.  Our Winter Session will begin again in January 2011.  Here are the dates: 1/10, 1/24, 2/7, 3/7, 3/21.  See you all next year!
