October Class

My October class is about the Holidays and the one thing everyone needs is tags. So I decided to do the tags as Card Candy. I am very happy with the way they came out and they are in one place and very easy to get to and use. We made this card holder at Convention and I decided to use it to make 3 x 3 cards. They look great on a gift and you can give the set to someone too.

September Woo Hoo Stampers Swap

Love this card and it was so much fun to make. I mixed Clear Embossing Powder with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter and the effect on the cards is awesome. I wish you could see it this picture doesn't do it justice. I also love the 1/8" Ribbon. It great to put ribbon where you were never able to. It makes this scallop punched circle look so much better with the ribbon on it. Pacific Point is a good color for snowflakes.

Sept. Class--Customers Request

This was a challenging class for me to do not only did I have to come up with the ideas but they had to have what my stampers wanted. In August I gave them a survey to complete and out of that survey I took what they wanted to see done and put it in a card for them to make first hand. Some of the requests I will be using in this class are Halloween cards, Ghosting Technique, cutting out stamped images, using punches and coloring directly on the stamp and some water coloring. There were more but there is just so much you can do on four cards. I will be doing more of their requests in my next few classes.
This firs card is 3 X 3 and using inking the stamp and then coloring it. I think it's cute and I love the new seam binding from the Holiday Mini.

The new ribbon border punch makes a great frame as you can see in this card. The idea is to match everything up perfectly so no jagged frame. This can be a Halloween card too just add the faces to the card and change the saying. Cute used the new In Colors-Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade and Peach Pazzazz.

My little vampire card came out better than I thought it would. I am no a fan of the Ghosting Technique I always fell the color come out muddy looking but it seems to fit this card. The jewels in the Holiday Mini made his eyes really pop. I have a thing for Vampires.

You can't have a Halloween card without a Witch and here she is. I have her riding her broom like a skateboard. Colored her in with Chalks and Blender Pen and cut her out. Used the jewels on her eyes too.

NC Demos Quarterly Meeting 6 x 6 Recipe Swap

The Quarterly Meeting is in Shallotte NC on September 16 & 17, 2010. I will not be able to go but asked if I could take part in this swap and thankfully I was told yes. So this is the 6x6 recipe that I will be sending out. The chocolate chips in the pie are the new Black Flourish Jewels from the Holiday Mini. Love them.

August Class--Backgrounds You Didn't Know You Could Do

This class will be so much fun. Backgrounds can make or break a card. I have done three for this class that will make the card. The first is the Waxed Paper technique. Very simple and no 2 cards are ever the same.

Shadowing is a technique I picked up in High School and really didn't use it till college but it can be done in so many different ways and so many different effects can be achieved. I have done a very simple design here. I just love it.

Clouds are so cool and it this card the clouds make it. So easy to do. I updated the idea by using the Big Shot Oval Scallop. The scallop edges really take the clouds to a new dimension.

Michelle and Tara's Birthday Card

This card I made for my friend and upline in New York, Michelle and my darling niece Tara. Michelle's birthday is August 18 and Tara's is August 22. This card is simple yet elegant. Really love the way it turned out.

Linda's Workshop Make N Take

This is one of the cards we made at my friend Linda's workshop last night. We had so much fun and three of the woman there never stamped before. This card is very simple using the Snow Swirled stamp set, gold glitter and brands. They got to use several different techniques and they all came out beautiful. Love doing workshops.
