April 15, 2013 Card Making Class

Hello everyone,

Another busy week went by.  Had to take my son to the doctors for his fever and his eyes.  Thank goodness nothing serious from both visits.  Below is a recap from our last class.  I took the pictures of these cards standing up.  The first card and last card look good, but the middle two look sort of squashed for some reason.  Oh well!
This floral basket card was made using the Iris Folding method with light and dark brown pattern papers for the iris pattern.  Store bought flowers and punched leaves were added to top the basket.  Drops of white enamel accents by Ranger were added to the center of the flowers to finish off.

 This next card was made by using a Fiskar scallop border punch on lime card stock, add peach pattern paper on top and adhere to the side of the card base.  Circles stickers were added as shown and finished off with orange and green blings.

This lilac card was made using the Sizzix die for the base of the lilac, the branch and the leaf.  The flowers were punched out using Martha Steward punch. Purple ink was added to the center of each flower before gluing to the lilac die cut.  Sponge brown ink along the edge of the branch and olive green ink around the leaf and the veins before adhering onto card base.

This hibiscus card was made by stamping the flower randomly onto red card panel using fire brick distress ink by Tim Holtz and repeat stamping one hibiscus on square white panel.  Adhere the panels onto black card stock as shown.  Wrap ribbon around the bottom part of the card before adhering onto card base.  Stamp sentiment and punch out with Fiskar scallop oval punch.  Adhere on top of ribbon as shown to finish card.

By the way, I added a link to my Pinterest page on the right margin where I pin the cards that I've made over the years.  Check it out and let me know what you think.  Well that's it for now.   See you on 4/29 for our next class.  Have a great week!
