Weekly Inspiration

Tuesday

Did you like my Dragon card from yesterday? 

Absolutely AMAZING! I love it. 

Anyway, this weeks inspiration (apart from yesterday) is Stampin' Up! Brights range of colours

Daffodil Delight and Botanicals For You stamp set.

This one is a very simple card using a Whisper White mat onto a Basic Black mat with a Daffodil Delight cardbase.

I stamped a sheet of white card randomly with the flowers and leaves and just added 2 messages to complete.

The stamp set is another of the FREE products you can get when you place an order 

of £45 or more during Saleabration.

Please pop by tomorrow to see what else I have managed to make.

September's All Day Class Part 1

19th September All Day Class in Horsham

This was an amazing day where everyone had a great time making many lovely Christmas cards and winning lovely goodies in the raffle. This is of course in addition to the the wonderful goodie bag thqat everyone gets to take away with them!

Unfortunately, everyone was unable to complete the whole class on the day 

so we are having a catch up class another time very soon. 

Everyone received Flurry of Wishes Bundle 140868 which is the stamp set and matching punch. 

See at the end 

Flurry of Wiahes Bundle 140868

please note that it doesn't heve Gill's name on the punch normally!

4th August Bokeh Variations

Burgess Hill Class

Bokeh Variations 
These were done by spraying water over the card front and then randomly dripping ink over it using ink refils.
Once you have dripped the colours you like, gently pat it dry with paper towels.
 Leave it to dry for a few minutes or help it along gently with a heat gun.  Don't use the heat gun too hot as you may scorch the card.
Using small through to large circle punches, punch one of each sized circle out of a piece of acetate. 
 Once your mat is dry, lay the acetate over and sponge Whisper White ink into the circles, the larger the circle, the softer the effect.
Continue to lift and move the acetate all over the mat until you are happy with the result.
As you can see by the cards the ladies made, the small circles stand out more and
the larger ones tone the base colours down.
Add some White Perfect Accemts or Rhinestones to add a little sparkle.
No two mats will be the same, as you can see.   

 

These are some of our lovely ladies in the class.
They are so talented.

23rd JulyWindow Cards

Window Cards

Warnham Class

The ladies had a great time making different versions of the window cards. 

One had a single pane, and others were through several window panes.

Very simple to do but such a lovely effect. It looks as if your

 looking through the window into the garden.

Since the class, Stampin' Up! have bought out a die to cut the window or fireplace!

Perfect!

This weeks class at the Craft Den

The Circle Card Thinlit is one of my favourites. It gives an unusual shape to the cards and just by extending the cardstock OVER the Thinlit instead of under, you can make an even longer card. These were made using cardstock measuring 13.8cm by 20cm. If you extend the card a little more to 22.5cm, Cut the card once then reverse it and cut again with the thinlit. You will then get a larger card and the two circles almost together. See Below.
