These are the four projects for my upcoming classes featuring cards and a post-it-note cover designed for Mom. In trying to use up my stash of colors which will retire on July 1st, I have been breaking out of my routine and trying new and fun color combinations. Though I really don't know what to do without Mellow Moss. It's such a great compliment to Perfect Plum.
After making the scallop square rag purse I decided to try my hand at some scallop envelope Easter baskets. Well it was a real learning experience! I cut small squares out of patterned fabric and put batting between the fabric and felt to give the basket support. Batting between layers of felt also gives the handle stability. We filled the baskets with animal crackers, gummy worms, chocolate eggs and a stuffed animal. We did a small treasure hunt with clues from the Easter Bunny and the baskets were the prize at the end! Hope everyone had a great Easter!
So I'm a bit stuck in wedding mode lately as my fiance and I plan our wedding. At our yearly stamp escape, we each bring a shoebox make and take and this was mine. The hearts were punched out of Bride and Groom specialty paper and jazzed up a bit to resemble a tux and gown. Since I didn't have any Silver cardstock on hand, I used the platinum shimmer paint to spritz grey cardstock and give the background a nice subtle sparkle. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and the ribbon is Whisper White Organza.
Rubber cement, it's not just for holding stuff together! To create this really cool background look I drizzled rubber cement over glossy white paper, let it dry and used a brayer to cover the paper with black ink. Then I used a paper towel to wipe the excess ink off of the rubber cement, then wipe off the rubber cement and voila, a really cool looking background!
These are two of the four card designs available to create as part of my Last chance to Sale-a-Brate class next week. Both cards use the FREE SAB Vintage Label set in the clear mount option. I am totally loving the clear mount stamps!! It's really nice to be able to see through the block to line up images. The "Happy Birthday" card also uses the new Scallop Trim Border Punch, the first punch ever to be available free as part of Sale-a-Bration! March 31st is the last day to order and receive free Sale-a-Bration items with every $50 of merchandise ordered. Visit my website and click the Shop Now button to place your order before this sweet deal is gone for another year!
These are two very different examples of cards that can be made using the Vintage Vogue stamp set. It is available in the Occasions Mini catalog in either Clear Mount or Wood Mount.
