October 13, 2014 Card Making Class

Hello ladies,

Hope you had a great weekend and looking forward to another wonderful week!
This first card was made using the Sizzix witch die with neon green as the base and die cutting again using black, orange and striped paper for hats, gown, boot, broom, hair and pants, respectively. The broom handle was applied with some Opalite ink to give that shimmery look.  Glue witch onto purple card panel and adhere to ivory card base.  Add 'beware' sticker to finish card.

 This Thankful card was made by stamping the turkey, acorn and leaf using color ink on white card stock and punch out using 1" circle punch.  Adhere to color circle panels and adhere to white card base with foam tape.  The bottom leaves paper was first punched out using Fiskar scallop border punch and adhere to the bottom of card base.  Stamp 'Thankful' on white card stock and punch out using label punch.  Adhere with foam tape at the bottom right.

This pumpkin was made by cutting out the pumpkin using Sizzix pumpkin die out of polka dots green card panel.  Turn panel to the back and using easy folding pattern to layer ribbons as shown starting with the green stem and alternate between orange and red ribbons.  Turn card back to the front and add leaf and green bow as shown.  Wrap ribbon at bottom of panel before adhering to orange panel using double-sides tape.  Adhere the finish panel onto ivory card base to finish.

 

This daisy card was made by stamping the daisy stamp with red ink onto white card panel about 1/3 way up from the bottom of panel.  Stamp again two more times without re-inking to add depth.  Adhere black glitter panel to the bottom of white panel.  Wrap ribbon around and tie knot as shown.  Stamp birthday sentiment with red ink and punch out with ticket punch and adhere to bottom panel as shown.  Adhere the finish panel onto burgundy card base to finish.

Well that's it for now.  Have a great week and see you next Monday!

New Fall Card Making Session started Monday September 29, 2014

Hello ladies,

Hope you had a great Summer staying cool!  Welcome back to our card making class everyone!  Glad to see all the familiar faces and welcome to a couple of our new students.  Below is a recap from our last class.

This fall leaves card was made by first embossing the sentiment at the bottom of a white card panel using a Cuttlebug folder and running through the Sizzix machine.  Then stamp the leaves on using Tim Hotz distressed ink.  Add burgundy ribbon as shown and tape white panel onto burgundy card stock before adhering it to kraft card base.

 

 This next card was made by stamping the floral envelope with Staz On black ink onto a watercolor paper.  Using color markers and water brush, dilute the colors before painting onto the image.  Adhere the watercolor paper onto a pink card stock, tie a sheer cream ribbon around and adhere at a angle onto a white card base as shown.  Punch out a 1" circle and add sticker sentiment.

 

This card was made by running the beige background card panel through the Sizzix machine with a Cuttlebug embossing panel.  Sponge the edges of the panel with brown ink.  Glue the die cut branch with bird onto the background panel.  Using glue dots, add the silk leaves as shown.  Add a brown sheer ribbon on top.  Punch out a green scallop circle and add sticker sentiment.

 

This last card was made by inserting the butterfly punch all the way in and on the center of the cream card stock.  Find the center of the short end and measure up 1" from the bottom edge.  Draw the diagonal lines from each corner to the center and cut out. Tape the cream panel onto the green floral background paper, tie a pink ribbon as shown and tape everything onto a cream card base.  Add sticker sentiment to finish.

That's all for now.  See you next Monday October 13, 2014 at 12:30 p.m.  Have a great week!
