Hello and welcome to a catch
up of posts! I always find that the summer months seem to fly by with my
children home from school and try to fill our days with activites that my
business gets abandoned!
So here we are with the projects
that we made at July's card classes.
This first card was made as
a celebration card for all those students who had recently taken their exams
and hopefully got the results that they wanted. It uses the new 2018-2020
In-Colors of Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover
and Blueberry Bushel! We used some retired products, the Stars Thinlet
dies and Curly Cute greeting stamp set plus some sequins. The
background cardstock is Crumb Cake. The greeting was also heat embossed using
Gold Embossing powder.
Our second card could have several uses :-
Wedding, Anniversary, Get Well or Birthday and the ideal stamp set to use for
the greetings for these occasions is Beautiful Bouquet. The stamp set for the flowers is Petal Palette
and these were coloured in using Powder Pink and Pear Pizzazz inks. This
card is a stepped card design which is quite easy to make once you have your
dimensions, cut and score lines in place. The Stampin Up! trimmer is the
perfect tool to make it with. The main card stock is Very Vanilla and the
embossed panel are Powder Pink using the Petal Pair embossing folder. The backing panel is a
piece of Pear Pizzazz card stock.
Our final card is a cutie using the Bella and Friends stamp set and a gate fold card layout. We used the Aqua painter the colour the background behind the stamped dog using the returning In-Color Mint Macaron. The other colours used are Basic Grey ink, Poppy Parade Marker (another returning In-Color), Mint Macaron and So Saffron card stock. The greetings came from Happy Birthday Gorgeous stampin set.
