Christmas in July Part 2

The final installment of my Christmas in July class.  I had so many ideas and so many cards to choose from, thought I would show a few more we made on the day and a few extra ideas.
This is a group photo showing the cards we made at our Christmas in July class.

This card was CASE'd from a swap I received at Brisbane Regionals 2011 from my Up Line Liz Collett that I replicated for class.  It featured the Merry & Type stamp set, Letters to Santa Designer Series papers and Mini rectangular embossing folder.  This was a quick easy one for the end of the day.

This card here was used for display purposes.  It was CASE'd from my demo friend Ruth Clarke and featured the Pennant Parade Stamp set and Pennant punch to create the 3D tree.
This card was also used for display and featured another idea to use more Letters to Santa Designer Series Paper, Edgelits and Many Merry Messages Greeting stamp set.  I made this one very last minute, almost the eve of the class.  I was quite happy with how quick this one was to make.  The top section was inspired by my Easel card in the previous post and was also stamped with the snowflakes from Winter Post set.
           And finally...................

This Twisted Easel was a combination of ideas from several of my cards in the previous post.  The Image from Season of Joy Stamp set was this time stamped on Very Vanilla card and coloured in with the Faux Mother of Pearl technique used on it.

If you would like any further information or would like to order any of these products to create your own, or perhaps join in one of my classes, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Image
Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
