Class Cards 22nd February 2016

As promised, here are the cards made by lovely ladies that come to my monthly class in Reading.  There are only a few of us but I really love teaching them - we have so much fun!

This week we only managed to make one card as there were a lot of elements to it, and this is only our 6th month of card making.  They were pretty scared to start with but when broken down into smaller elements it really was quite simple. 

I think they were all really pleased with what they produced, and I made the box for one of the ladies as her sister's birthday was imminent!

It never ceases to amaze me how different the same card can looks in other colours - I really liked their colour choices.  I am so proud of them.

 

 

The items I used for this card were:

 

Cardstock:  Foundations cardstock and centura pearl

Dies:           Spellbinders decorative curved squares

                   Spellbinders curved squares

                   Sue Wilson pierced squares

                   Sue Wilson Delicate Daisies complete petals

                   Sue Wilson Delicate Daisies open petals

                   Creative Expressions pearls

                   Creative Expressions sentiments

                   Creative Expressions blue dazzlers

                   Stampin' Up! ribbons

Everything has its beauty .....................

I have a new favourite colour!  Yes its teal.  Was a little worried about it initially as it is a strong colour but was really pleased with the finished card as it looks very fresh and clean.

As this turned out better than I expected, I decided to give this challenge to the ladies in my class and they did an amazing job, so I will share those with you on another day!

What do you think?

 

 

 

 

I have to say that I really liked this sentiment.

 

As there was also quite a lot of dimension on this card I decided to make a box for it too.  It was quite a simple one which made best use of the colours.

 

 

The items I used for this card were:

 

Cardstock:  Teal foundations cardstock and centura pearl

Dies:           Spellbinders decorative curved squares

                   Spellbinders curved squares

                   Sue Wilson pierced squares

                   Sue Wilson Delicate Daisies complete petals

                   Sue Wilson Delicate Daisies open petals

                   Creative Expressions pearls

                   Stampin' Up! ribbons

 



 

From the Heart ................

Phill Martin released a new range of new dies called From the Heart, and I have been playing with the Happy Birthday die, which is lovely.  They cut beautifully and I love the simplicity of them.

I think I have a slight addiction to the periwinkle foundation cardstock, so will try to mix it up a bit with my next creation!

I die cut the sentiment, once in the coloured card and once in the white and then layered them up to give a drop shadow, and then felt that it needed something at the bottom of the card so used one Gemini Phoenix die and as I had some of the Delicate Daisies left over from a previous card I decided to use these too.

The recipe for this card is as follows:

Cardstock:  Foundations Periwinkle card, Centura Pearl Card
Dies:           Dies by Sue Wilson - Gemini Phoenix die
                   From the Heart - Happy Birthday die
                   Dies by Sue Wilson - Delicate Daisies Complete
                   Petals & Open Petals

Hope you like it.

Card Box

Here is the box I made to go with the card I made a few days ago - I absolutely love the Delicate Daisies.  I made the box out of Centura Pearl as it is a slightly heavier cardstock, I decided to do the flowers in the same with the base being the Foundations Periwinkle cardstock.  I think they look fab ;-)

Please feel free to leave any comments as love to hear from people.

Until next time

Lovin' the colour!

I think this one has to be one of my most favourite cards to date!   I absolutely love the Periwinkle Foundations Cardstock and sadly the photo doesn't really do it justice.  I think I may need to make a box for this card too, so that will be tomorrow nights job.

I made it for a lady that works for me who is leaving next week due to ill health.  She has worked for Reading Association for the Blind for a long time so wanted to do something special for her ;-)
