July New Products Class

Sorry for the delay in this post, its the school holidays so my crafting and administration time is very limited!
Our last class held in July showcased some new products form the new annual catalogue as well as the new in-colours :- Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow and Tangelo Twist (what fab names!!) They all have a good earthy but bright feel to them and can see that we will be using them a lot.
So, here are the projects that we created:-

So here we have a lovely mini box that contains 4 gift tags. Just two main colours are used here, Whisper White card stock and Wisteria Wonder cardstock and ink with 1/8" Silver Ribbon and Rhinestone Basic Jewels as embellishments.  The two stamp sets used were Label Love and Work of Art, and the two punches that were used were Scalloped Tag Topper (one of my favourtie new punches) and the flower from the new Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack - more of these later!!  The stamping off technique was used on the front of the tags and box and the Wisteria Wonder flowers were daubed with Craft white and and the Whisper White flowers daubed with Wisteria Wonder ink. You could utilize this design for different occasions by changing the colours and using with the star or heart from the punch pack.

Here we have a card with a new technique - Room Divider, and uses the new In-Colors.  This is a simple technique where 1/2 a piece of A4 is folded into 4 and the bottom cut out on each of the panels using Curly Label to give the effect of 'legs'.  More of the stamps taken from the Work of Art stamp set are used here with most of the new In-Colors ink and card stock, and the 'stampin off' technique is again used.  The sequins are taken form the Gold Sequin Trim and the bow is made from Gold Metallic Bakers Twine.

And finally my favourite card made from my favourite stamp set, Life in the Forest (and carried over from the Spring/Summer catalogue).  This seet has some cute animals in it, a raccoon, mouse, hedgehog and a rabbit as well as the toadstool, fox and trees shown here.  Ideal for childrens cards and great for colouring in as the stamps are outline ones.  The colours used here are Mossy Meadow, Crushed Curry, Tangelo Twist, Night of Navy, Soft Suede with Real Red and Cajun Craze markers.  The 'background' was created by sponging Daffodil Delight, Soft Sky and Old Olive ink onto Whisper White card stock.  The 'grass' was created using the Fringe Scissors and the sun rays by double punching with the 1 1/4" scallop circle.  The greting taken from Itty Bitty Banners. Some Gold Metallic Bakers Twine wraps it all up!
 I hope you have enjoyed seeing these creations and don't forget to get in touch with me if you would like to come along to my next class in September where I will be albe to show you the new Autumn/Winter catalogue! Its never to early to get organised for Christmas.
