"Make a Card, Make a Difference"

We used the gorgeous Butterfly stamp from the "Strength & Hope" stamp set, which we inked with Concorde Crush.  Our colour combo consisted of three "In Colours", Concorde Crush, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz.

The flower vine image is from "Hopeful Thoughts" stamp set which we coloured in using the Marker Pens before stamping onto our Whisper White Layer.

The greeting is from "Perfect Punches" punched out using the XL Oval Punch and layered onto one of the Sizzlits Tags die cuts.

We used the Eyelet Border punch to create the pretty lacy border at the bottom.

Our 3D project was the same that we did at my recent Big Shot Class, details are on my previous two posts.

Stained Glass Butterfly

Our technique for this month's card class was the "Stained Glass" one which you will see on my previous post.

Again our butterfly was die cut using the "Beautiful Butterflies" Bigz Die Item No: 114507 £18.95 which you will find in the Mini Catalogue on Page 7.  We cut the top Butterfly layer from Vellum and the bottom in Whisper White which helps the Stained Glass efffect stand out as the vellum is translucent.

You need to ink up the Vellum Butterfly using VersaMark ink, I have used the "Fine Flourish" mini background stamp, then dip into your black embossing powder and heat using the Heat Tool.  You then colour in the image on the reverse side.  Very pretty and yet so simple!

The greeting is from "Perfect Punches" stamp set, inked in Rich Razzleberry and punched out using the XL Oval Punch then layered onto one of the Sizzlits "Lots of Tags" dies which are also found in the Mini Catalogue on Page 8.

The leafy image behind the Butterfly is from the "Hopeful Thoughts" stamp set which looks beautiful coloured with the marker pens in different colours but as we were already doing lots of pen work we just inked it in co-ordinating Pear Pizzazz.

More Class Projects - Hopeful Thoughts

The second project at February's card classes was this lovely birthday card using a colour combo of Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise and Pear Pizzazz which everyone loved.

We used a combination of stamps, the Leafy Floral Stamp is from "Hopeful Thoughts" which you can find on Page 73 of the IB&C priced at £25.95 for 5 stamps.  The set also includes a lovely Tree image and three thoughtful greetings too.

We used the marker pens to ink up the main floral image which worked beautifully and the Ornament Punch (see it's not just for Christmas!) to create our vase, we just trimmed off the bottom part of the punch out to create a flat bottom!  We stamped onto this with one of the flower stamps from "Sweet Summer" using Rich Razzleberry Ink and then daubed around the edge before adhering to the Whisper White Panel.  The butterfly is also from "Sweet Summer".

The Designer Series Paper is from Greenhouse Gala and this was adhered to the left panel followed by three punched flowers from the Boho Blossom Punch with Basic Pearls (these are adhesive!) attached to the centres.

We used the gorgeous Scallop Trim Corner punch to create our decorative corners, this is just such a pretty punch.

The greeting is another "Sale-a-bration" stamp set called "So Happy For You", I love the style of the font with these greetings and the set also includes some small shapes such as hearts and flowers too!
