October 17, 2011 Card Making Class

Hello ladies,


Hope you had a nicer couple of weeks than I did!  ;o)  Late again as usual!  Here are the cards we made almost 2 weeks ago.
This first card is made by punching out 8 flowers, sponged edges with pink ink.  Cut or tear pink pattern paper with a slope down as shown, tie a sheer ribbon around top and glue down to card base.  Adhere flowers along the curve by adding glue to flower centers.  Add the pink gems in the center of each flower, stamp sentiment on the bottom of card and sponge card edges.

The cream rose on this card was made by using a die cut felt scallop circle, cutting spiral from out edge to the center and rolling from the center of the spiral outward.  The leaves were made by cutting freehand out of green felts.  Using a hand punch to punch out the large flower from the top right corner of the olive green scallop card, add foam tape and green sheer ribbon around the bottom and adhere the green scallop card to a pale yellow card base.  Glue the felt rose and leave through the top opening.  Using the same flower punch to punch out a beige flower for the silver sticker sentiment and foam tape onto the ribbon knot.

This cute teddy bear Halloween card was made by cutting out some cute Halloween animals fabric I had when I used to collect fabrics.  Double sided tape was taped on the back of the fabric image and cut out.  The front of the card was made by gluing all the layers of pattern paper and black and white card stock as shown.  The cut out fabric image was tape on top of the white card stock and finished off with the stamped sentiment.

I actually saw a similar pumpkin pie card from a magazine and decided to create my own version with a fancier plate made using a Spellbinder beaded oval die on white card stock.  The pie crust was made with a large scallop circle punch on tan card stock and sponge edges with brown ink.  The pumpkin center was made using a gold circle die cuts that bought, sponging the edges with orange ink.  Glue together before cutting the slice.  Glue pie on top of plate with foam tape.  Glue Thanksgiving paper onto brown card stock.  Wrap ribbon around and tie knot.  Stamp sentiment on tan card stock and punch out with a small scallop circle punch.  Add foam tape in back and adhere on top of the ribbon knot as shown.

Well, that's it for this session!  I need to start preparing for the next class.  Email me if you have any questions or comments.  Thanks for stopping by!  See you all in class Monday.  Have a great weekend!
