March Class Projects


As I write this I am hoping that the weather is going to continue being spring like and not the artic conditions that we have been forecast!


To celebrate Spring/Mothers Day and Easter, I couldn't resist using the stamp set Circle of Spring for this months card class. It is my new favourite set with a selection of greetings - thank you, happy mothers day, happy easter, happy spring and happy birthday to you - perfect for this time of year.  I chose just a few colours to showcase this set, using Crumb Cake ink and card stock for the background stamp Hardwood and then either So Saffron or Pool Party for the flowers and bows with Pear Pizzazz for the greenery.  The best thing about this set is that it coordinates with the Wonderful Wreath framelits so you don't have all the fiddly cutting out to do!  I used a few Pearl Basic Jewels to the centres of the flowers and bows to enhance the design.




The second card we made was a bit tricky but everyone was pleased with the result as it is such an unusual design - you won't find these in the shops!  This tri-fold card was again made using Crumb Cake card stock with English Garden DSP and Number of Years stamp set with a selection of colours for the flower arrangement. This is another great set perfect for celebrating just about any occasion.







Finally our 3D project was a little Cadbury's Creme Egg holder with a little rabbit on the front. I gave everyone the choice of either doing a forward facing or rear facing rabbit.  The main colours used were Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride and Whisper White cardstock and the greeting taken from the
Circle of Spring stamp set.  The 'grass' was creating by using the Fringe scissors and the box design is taken from the birdhouse design made using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool.
