April's Class - a Couple of Fun Projects!

OOps, I am running late again! Where does the time go? Well here are the projects from Aprils Class. As it was the Easter holidays, we also had some children come along too.  They made the Foxy Friends card instead of the Blooms and Wishes card.
We used the A Little Foxy DSP for the background with Pool Party as the card base.  The adorable little fox is part of the Foxy Friends stamp set which has a matching punch, Fox Builder.  The bow was made using Bermuda Bay Bakers Twine. The greeting was taken from Balloon Celebration.  The other main colours used were Calypso Coral and Basic Grey.  This is another of my favourite stamp sets and am so glad that it is carrying over to the new annual catalogue!

As it was the start of the Easter holidays, we made this cute little cracker using So Saffron card stock and ink with 1/8" Gold Ribbon.  It holds 4 small chocolate eggs.  We made the cracker using both the score board and Envelope Punch board.  The rabbit came from the seasonal set Basket Bunch (which unfortunately hasn't made it into the new catalogue).  The greeting came form Teeny Tiny Wishes.

I saw this card design on Pinterest and couldn't resist sharing it at class as it is such a fun card suitable for all ages.  The 3 punches used were Owl Builder, Tree Builder and Balloon Bouquet.  The greeting (taken from A Circle of Spring) was heat embossed in white on Island Indigo card stock.  The background was sponged using Soft Sky and Mint Macaroon ink.  The DSP used for the tree and Owl was from Blooms and Bliss DSP.  The other colours used were Rose Red, So Saffron, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake with Mint Macaroon card base.

Our final project was a 'fancy fold' card made using the score board.  It opens out so that you can put a gift card inside and is held closed using a belly band.  The colours used were Rich Razzleberry, and Sweet Sugarplum.  The only stamp set we used was Blooms and Wishes along with the coordinating DSP Blooms and Bliss DSP.  We used the Layering Ovals and Stitched framelits to cut out the greeting on the belly band.
