Octobers Class
For our Octobers class, I had been asked to create a female celebration birthday card and a card suitable for a male. And with Christmas around the corner we made a 3D Christmas card.
I gave my ladies the option of making this card as a general birthday card or as one for an 'age'. The colours used were Whisper White, Marina Mist and Pear Pizzazz. The stamp sets used were Stylized Birthday and Number of Years.
For this card we used a variety of colours including Elegant Eggplant, Rich Razzleberry, Rose Red, Marina Mist, Soft Sky. The stamp sets used were Lift Me Up and Best Birds.
I found this card on Pinterest but can't remember who it was by. This used the shadow box card technique and folds flat to go in an envelope. The colours used were Night of Navy, Crushed Curry (for the 'lights' in the houses) and Whisper White. The stamp sets used were Number of Years and Star of Light. Dies used were Layering Ovals, Card Front Builder and Hometown Greetings.

May's Class Projects
Good Morning. Here are this months projects, yes, I think I am still in the right month! I've just waved my husband off along with 10 other friends on their mopeds off for a weekend riding to Ludlow. I hope they get there in one piece and in the dry! What a mad lot!
Anyway, back to card making. This month we made a card suitable for a male and could also be used for Fathers Day (18th June). We used a lovely set that came out in the Spring/Summer catalogue and has been carried over to the new annual catalogue, Lift Me Up. We also used the background stamp set Timeless Textures. To give the impression of 'distance' we used the stamping off technique. The main colours we used were Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy and Very Vanilla. The twine is Cherry Cobbler Bakers twine.
I had had a couple of requests to make a new baby card and what could be more perfect than this set, Moon Baby which also came out in the Spring/Summer catalogue and has been carried over to the new annual catalogue. To give a neutral feel we used Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and So Saffron colours. We used the Daffodil Watercolour pencil for the moon to enable the shading effect. The 'congratulations' came from Flourishing Phases stamp set. The moon image was stamped in Momento ink.
Our 3rd project this month was to make a few gifts tags - you can never have too many!! We used the stamp sets Balloon Celebration and Endless Birthday Wishes (retiring). The colours used were Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo and Pool Party with StazOn ink. We used the Balloon Bouquet and Scalloped Tag Topper punches.

Januarys Class
Happy New Year!
So here is the start of my New Years resolution by getting organised with my posts!
For this months class we made 3 fairly simple cards that could be used for a variety of occasions. Plus we used some Sale-a-bration items.
So here is our first project, a simple Thank You card using just two stamp sets, So Very Much from this years Sale-a-bration catalogue and Blooms & Wishes from the annual catalogue. The flowers from this set have a distressed effect and to make this stand out more, we 'stamped off' the images to give a more subtle feel. The colours were taken from the in-colors, Dapper Denim, Sweet Sugarplum, Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe.
Another item that we used from the Sale-a-bration catalogue was the Carried Away DSP which goes perfectly with the new stamp set Lift Me Up from the new Spring/Summer catalogue. We also used the matching Up & Away Thinlets dies. The colours used were Watermelon Wonder, Night of Navy and Whisper White. The greeting was heat embossed using Whisper White embossing powder.
As Valentines Day is not far off, our 3rd card was designed to be used as a Valentine card or as a wedding/anniversary congratulations card. The colours used were Real Red, Basic Black, Silver Foil sheet and Whisper White. The sets used were Sunshine Sayings stamp set and its matching Sunshine Wishes Thinlet dies. Whisper White Thick Bakers Twine was used to give the effect of the hearts being 'tied' together. The mini hearts were punched out using the (retired) Hearts Border punch.
