February Classes

For this month, I ran a few different things at my monthly classes.
At Frampton on Severn, we made this cute little box which has been called either a 'self closing' box or an 'impossible' box (due to trying to figure out how to open it). Although it looks complicated, it is one of the easiest boxes to make.  We made it using Real Red and Whisper White card stock, Real Red Glimmer Paper and some scraps of DSP suitable for Valentines.

As our Selsley Class fell during February half term, I invited the children of my crafters to come along. They each made 3 cards using the Sale-a-bration Party Pandas set which they really enjoyed.
I used some retired products as well.

The remaining projects were the same at both classes, and both suitable as a Mothers Day card!
The first was made using the Sale-a-bration set Lots of Lavender.  I found this design on Pinterest and liked the idea of stamping onto a coloured background and colouring in the flowers then adding the Stampin Up Chalk Marker to add some highlights to the petals. The greeting came from the Watercolor Wings stamp set and the main colours used were Crumb Cake, Soft Sky, Basic Black, Pear Pizzazz and some retired ribbon.

 The second card also used a Sale-a-bration set, Beautiful Peacock.  This is a lovely set that I can see being used a lot, just a shame we only have until the end of March though.  We used a couple of techniques on this one; the baby-wipe technique using Daffodil Delight and Tempting Turquoise inks, and heat embossing using Stampin Up Gold Embossing Powder.
