November Class Projects

With Christmas that much nearer in November, all three of our projects had a Christmas theme.

The first was an idea I had in my head for a while and was very pleased with the final effect. This design is an easel style of card and by using the Hearth and Home thinlets to create a fireplace and then the Hang Up Your Stocking and matching thinlets to create stockings above the fireplace. Although you can't see it on the photo, I used the score board to create brickwork on the Very Vanilla backing piece in the fireplace.  The colours used were Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake.

I had designed a project using the Pillow Box design but had been asked if we could make 3 cards at this class so adapted the design so that my customers could chose to make either a box or card.  This project used the Candy Cane Lane DSP, Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and coordinating punch.  The colours used were Crumb Cake, Real Red, Whisper White Craft ink and Early Espresso.

Our third card also used the Candy Cane Lane DSP by cutting out a 'gingerbread house' from one of the sheets and using another as the background.  I had CASEd this from one I had seen on Pinterest but used a different embossing folder.  The circles were created by using the layering circles dies.  The greeting was taken from Wonderous Wreath stamp set and heat embossed using white embossing powder.  The Candy Cane Lane Bakers Twine was used as accents to the design.  The main colours used were Real Red, Crumb Cake, Whisper White and Early Espresso.
