August Class

Well I know it is already September but I somehow forgot to show you the projects we made in August! Just shows how time flies during the summer holidays.

This month we used the new In-Colors that were released with the new annual catalogue on 1st June and will continue until 31st May 2019.  The colors are called Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink and Tranquil Tide.  Quite a good sets of names!

For our first card, we used the Berry Burst ribbon, cardstock, ink and sheet from the Fresh Florals DSP stack.  The stamp set used was Pretty Kitty and the main card was Smoky Slate. This card is very cute, suitable for any cat lover!

Our second card uses the Powder Pink In-color ink and sheet from the Fresh Florals DSP stack.  We used a watercolour technique to colour the sky on Shimmery White cardstock with Soft Sky ink.  To highlight the clouds we filled them in with Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. The stamp set used was This Little Piggy from the new catalogue and our crafters could chose any of the 5 designs to use on their project, I have just shown two here; and greeting taken from Happy Birthday Gorgeous.  The other colours used were Basic Black and Soft Sky.

Our final card looks a bit complicated but is actually quite simple to make, as long as you get your dimensions, cuts and folds in the right places! I think one of the names for this card is a stepped waterfall.  Again we used some new In-Colors, Lemon Lime Twist and Tranquil Tide.  The Daisy punch is a great new Stampin Up punch again brought out in the new catalogue and has been sold out quite a few times already!  The leaves were made using Tranquil Tide cardstock and the Flourish Thinlets dies and the greeting was taken from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set and cut out using another new punch, Pretty Label Punch.  The center for the daisies were made from 1/2 inch punch circles of Gold Glimmer card.  The main card is Crumb Cake and stamped with the Hardwood background stamp also in Crumb Cake.
