November 29, 2010 Card Making Class

Hello everyone,

Another hectic week!  Sorry for the late post.  Here's a recap of the cards we made in class.

The card below was made with the special pattern papers I have glued on the front.  The card was then trimmed with the gold snowflake stickers around the pattern papers.  The punch poinsettia was made using 2 punched 5-petal flowers and 2 punched holy leaves with gold glitter glue in the center.  The sentiment was stamped on a punched white card stock.

 The birthday card below was made with a pre-embossed white glossy card frame.  The center was made using a clear cellophane bag with happy birthday paper and some birthday confetti inside.  Finished off with a ribbon on the bottom half and popped up with foam dots.

The Hanukkah card was made by folding the front of the card back with more of the special pattern papers glued to the folded front panel.  The die-cut Star of David was glued on top of a square white and blue card oriented at a diagonal on top of the front panel.  The inside of the card was lined with a slightly smaller white card stock with a stamped sentiment.

The snowflakes card was made by first brushing 3/4 of the card front with glue pen and covered with glitters.  Punched several snowflakes on a vellum piece and glued to the bottom of a piece of snowflake paper.  The snowflake and vellum piece was glued then to the card front.  Add organza ribbon to the middle where the paper and vellum were taped together.  Note that the vellum was only taped on the top edge behind the snowflake paper so the tape would not show through.

This pirate monkeys waterfall card is an early version of the card we made in class.  Since Ellen and Lesley had to borrow my card to finish their homework, I'm using the photos of the one I made earlier for my co-worker's grandson.  Everything is basically the same except I moved the monkey on the bottom to the inside of the card and a black tab was added to the pull handle on the new card.  All the dimensions are the same as what I sent out in the emails before.  Please email me if you need me to send it to you again.  Basically, all the images were stamped in black ink and color with Prismacolor pencils except for the background which was stamped with brown ink pad.  The edges were also sponged with brown ink. 

 

 

 

 

 Have fun and until next time!
