First monthly class - Other 2 cards

Hello Everyone,

I promised you that I would be back to post the other two cards that we made at my first monthly class. The second card we made that night was using the Sweet Treat Cups. These are fantastic, such a bargain, only 6.50 for a pack of 12 and there are so many different things that you can do with them. I used the snow globe technique for this class and a special thanks goes to the wonderful Andrea Lowcock for the tutorial for this technique.

So here it is. I wasn't very happy with my first sample, it was a bit slap happy, but I liked the colours, so kept it and made another in a different colour combination.

Sample 1


Stamps: A Little Treat, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Card: Whisper White CS, Pacific Point CS, Pumpkin Pie CS
Ink: Pacific Point, Elegant Eggplant Marker (This was one of the things I disliked about the original sample)
Accessories: Sweet Treat Cups, Fine Supernova Glitter - Pink and Aqua, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, water


Sample 2


Stamps: Little Angel, A Little Treat

Card: Whisper White CS, Pacific Point CS, Pixie Pink CS
Ink: Pacific Point
Accessories: Sweet Treat Cups, Fine Supernova Glitter - Pink and Aqua, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, water
The third card of the night was a very simple and quick card that was CASE'd from Regina.


Due to a few baby issues, I was VERY unorganised for this class, I knew exactly what we were making, but hadn't done all the prep, including not having done the sample for this card. I actually finished the sample 15 minutes before the class arrived, thankfully I had cut all their kits for it, knowing exactly how I was going to do it. So due to my tardiness in creating the sample, I didn't have enough time to make it how I would have liked it to look for the final product, however I got the class to do it how I would have! Stamping the monkeys in Chocolate Chip, instead of Ballet Blue, and I think that this looked a lot better, the girls assured me that this one looked fine though (thanks girls)! So I think that it really taught me to be a bit better organised, or just to let the baby cry... lol.

Stamps: Fox and Friends, On Your Birthday

Card: Whisper White CS, Chocolate Chip CS, Ballet Blue CS
Ink: Ballet Blue
Accessories: Star Punch, Large Star Punch, 1 1/4" Square Punch


These were both a lot of fun to make. If you are interested in doing a class or workshop and learning how to make them, email me.

Thanks for dropping by.

Hugs
