January's Card Class

Belated projects from January (I've been having problems with either the computer or this blog and my posts keep being deleted!).  To celebrate Valentines day or any other 'romantic' occasion, we created this card using the new stamp set 'Meant To Be' from the new Spring/Summer occasion catalogue - just click on the link on the side of this page to see a copy for yourself. We just used two colours, Whisper White Shimmery cardstock and Merry Merlot ink and cardstock.  To colour in the roses/hearts we just used a Aquapainter to 'bleed' the ink form the stamped image into the centre of the image.

 As we have just started the Sale-a-bration season, we used this 'Hello Cupcake' stamp set that you can get for free if you spend over £45 from any catalogue. I this that this is a good fun set to make quick and easy cupcake cards for everyone! We used the Polka Dot Basics embossing folder on a piece of Velum cardstock for the background on a Melon Mambo cardstock base. The other colours used were Coastal Cabana and Powder Pink.

As a general birthday card we created this tri-layered card using the 'Balloon Celebration' stamp set and the other main colours of Real Red and Pacific Point.
