Septembers Classes

September heralded the start of my classes at Frampton on Severn village Hall. As the classes at Frampton are at the beginning of the month and the ones at Selsley are at the end of the month, I will be repeating the designs at the two classes. Therefore I will only be updating this page at the end of the month.

Our first card was suitable for a wedding or could be adapted for an anniversary or engagment. It used the stamp set For The New Two and just two colours of Whisper White and Tip Top Taupe.  It also used the technique of heat emossing onto velum with Whisper White Embossing Powder which looked quite effective. A piece of Tip Top Taupe 1" Dotted Lace Trim set off the design.

The second card was suitable to all ages and genders to celebrate a birthday.  It used the stamp sets Gorgeous Grunge and Build a Birthday with just two colours, So Saffron and Lost Lagoon.  I really like this set as it is quite versatile and the Little Numbers Thinlets are perfect for adding the 'age' if required.

Our 3D project this month was a gable-end bag. This was one of the first 3D projects I made at a class (thanks Kerry Timms) and think it is such a quick and easy bag to make - and so did the ladies at my classes.  Again this design only uses two complimentary colours, Wisteria Wonder and Perfect Plum with Very Vanilla as the card base.  The two stamp sets used were Merry Everything ( for the tag) and Flowering Flourishes with the butterflies punched out using the Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly punches.  The Venetian Crochet Trim finshes off the design.
