So here is the start of my New Years resolution by getting organised with my posts!
For this months class we made 3 fairly simple cards that could be used for a variety of occasions. Plus we used some Sale-a-bration items.
So here is our first project, a simple Thank You card using just two stamp sets, So Very Much from this years Sale-a-bration catalogue and Blooms & Wishes from the annual catalogue. The flowers from this set have a distressed effect and to make this stand out more, we 'stamped off' the images to give a more subtle feel. The colours were taken from the in-colors, Dapper Denim, Sweet Sugarplum, Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe.
Another item that we used from the Sale-a-bration catalogue was the Carried Away DSP which goes perfectly with the new stamp set Lift Me Up from the new Spring/Summer catalogue. We also used the matching Up & Away Thinlets dies. The colours used were Watermelon Wonder, Night of Navy and Whisper White. The greeting was heat embossed using Whisper White embossing powder.
As Valentines Day is not far off, our 3rd card was designed to be used as a Valentine card or as a wedding/anniversary congratulations card. The colours used were Real Red, Basic Black, Silver Foil sheet and Whisper White. The sets used were Sunshine Sayings stamp set and its matching Sunshine Wishes Thinlet dies. Whisper White Thick Bakers Twine was used to give the effect of the hearts being 'tied' together. The mini hearts were punched out using the (retired) Hearts Border punch.
