Cardmaking - CH - Class 2

Style 3 -  Square - The designer paper chosen is Stampin Up Autumn Spice.  The card color selected is Old Olive. The designer paper was cut to 4 inches square.  The edges were rubbed with an Early Espresso ink pad. It was adhered to the card in a portrait orientation.

The buttons are from Stampin Up and matches the card color. I tied a length of Early Espresso thread through the button which was knotted and trimmed.

The greeting was color printed in Cajun Craze and clear embossed.  They were cut apart to 1" tall.  I ripped the top and bottom edge.  It is held in place with Zots. Once placed the button was adhered with a large Zot to the left of the words of the greeting.






Style 2 - DSP Split - I chose cool colored designer papers.  The 4 inch x 5.25 inch piece is cut at 3.5 inches then the 2 pieces are taped back together.

I added a piece of white grosgrain ribbon across the join and tape the ends to the back of the layer.  I created an accent of silk flowers starting with a tiny pink handmade paper one on the white brad, then the aqua one, a raspberry colored one, then the final large white one.  A hole was made through the designer paper layer with a push pin, the prongs were pushed through and the prongs spread apart on the back.

The layer was then adhered to the front of a deep burgundy card.

The greeting was printed on white card stock, punched and it was adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape.  The card works without a greeting as well.

Style 1 - Ripped 4 inch - The designer paper is cut to 4 x 5.25 inches.  It is ripped and the pieces are positioned to the edges leaving the orange card showing in between.

I chose a butterfly accent color printed and punched with the Stampin Up Decorative Label.  The colors on this one is Tango Tangerine and So Saffron.  This label is adhere to the card front with 3D foam tape.

I had 7 ladies in the class tonight.  They had a good time.  A couple of the girls had experience which was very nice.

Perfect as all kits are used and I can move onto another sketch for the next class.
