March Class (Late Post)

As we are still in the Sale-a-bration season, we continued using the free products you can get at this time.  I decided to use the Epic Celebrations set for two of the cards and both suitable for teenagers (which I often hear are difficult to find a suitable card for).
This first card was inspired by a design on Pinterest and uses the new 1/4" Stitched Edge Ribbon in Pacific Point which goes perfectly with the trainers image stamp.  The 'happy birthday' greeting was taken from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set. Other cardstock used was Silver Glimmer Paper and Whisper White.  The images were cut out using the Layering Circles Framelits and the lace holes made using the retired 1/8" hole punch.

Our second card is suitable for the musician in your life! Again using the Epic Celebrations stamp set and a basic colour theme of Real Red, Smoky Slate and Whisper White. The back ground was stamped using the Sheet Music background stamp and the Stylized Birthday stamp for the main greeting.

One of my favourite stamp sets from the new Spring/Summer seasonal catalogue is Flying Home. It has several images that can be used for  variety of occasions.  The one we used at class could be used s a new home card or as a birthday card.  I teamed it with some Basic Grey Shimmer Ribbon from the Sale-a-bration offer.  I showed my customers two different ways of colouring the images so they could chose which they wanted; either using the Watercolor Pencils or Stampin Up Write Markers.  The main colours used were Whisper white, Soft Sky and Basic Grey.  The background was created using the 'dotty' stamp in the Beautiful Peacock stamp set in Basic Grey ink. The greetings were taken from various stamp sets and punched out using the Classic Label punch.
