May Class Projects

Hello. Well I think Spring is finally here and we are now at the end of the current annual catalogue and seasonal Spring/Summer catalogue.  The new annual one is going live tomorrow, 2nd June.  So time to say goodbye to a few old favourite stamp sets and this year we are also having a colour re-fresh.  We are losing 10 colours and re-introducing 5 in-colors and some fabulous new colors, plus a new set of in-colors.  The color families are also being re-defined, just to keep us on our toes!

Back to our card class of May, we made 2 cards suitable for males (seeing as Father's Day is not far off!) and a card that coudl be adapted for different occasions.

 This first card is an ideal one to use old DSP up on.  For this one we used the retiring True Gentleman DSP from the Spring/Summer catalogue with Night of Navy, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake cardstock.  We used the Bow Builder punch to make the bow and the ribbon and greeting are retired items.

 This card was made using the Bubble Over Stamp set and co-ordinating Bottles and Bubbles framelit dies from the Spring/Summer catalogue and is being carried over to the new annual catalogue.  This set is great for a male card as I am sure most men like a bottle of beer once in a while.  The Bubbles and Fizz DSP is a set from this years Sale-a-bration which matches perfectly with the stamped images.  The main colours used are Lemon Lime Twist, Early Espresso, Burmuda Bay and Calypso Coral.

I had to make a card using this fun set Bird Banter (which unforunately is not being carried over) and couldn't decide on an image to suggest my attendees to use so let them chose which one they wanted to use. I displayed a couple of suggestions, a birthday card and a wedding card.  This set also used the Bubbles and Fizz DSP from Sale-a-bration and the co-ordingating colours are Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Lemon Lime Twist.  We also used the Scattered Sequins embossing folder.
