Varied Vases

I ran a class using the Varied Vases Bundle last week. We started with a single vase for the first card.
The Pool Party Card stock was embossed using oneof the Petal Pair Embossing Folders.
I used some Crystal Effects (retired) on the Vase to make it look like glass. You could use Fine Tip Glue Pen to get the same effect.

I used an Aquapainter on the second card for the water. Two new colours were used for the flowers - Mango Melody and Gorgeous Grape. The returning Flirty Flamingo was also used.

The third card was inspired by a Demonstration at On Stage by Val moody. I used the Stamparatus to get the row of vases. It was so easy to line them up by moving the plate along the hinges!

The last card is a simpler version.

Rooted In Nature

One of the new Bundles that we will be using at my Craft Day on June 2nd is Rooted in Nature
The first card was cased from On Stage but tweaked a bit using a different arrangement and sentiment.
The dies include some leaf embossing dies which add interest to a card.

The second card could be used as a Christmas Card if you added some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter on the trees and possibly some Glimmery Embossing Paste for snow.

The third card uses a masking technique which someone used on You tube with the Lovely As a Tree stamp set.I cut out the large oak tree using the matching die and adhered it with dimensionals. Sponge Daubers got used a lot for this card and I got very inky fingers!

The last card uses the new Grapefruit Grove Cardstock with several leaves stamped as a background.
Lots of stamping and die cutting in this card. A bit of flower arranging too which was fun.

Share What You Love Suite

This month customers can get their hands on some products from the new catalogue to be launched on June 1st. The products are from the Share What You Love Suite.
I used the embossing folder for the first two cards and sponge daubers to apply the ink. Blushing Bride, Berry Burst and Fresh Fig in the first card,Bermuda Bay and Pool Party in the second.
Kylie Bertucci was the inspiration behind these cards.

The next card uses some of the luscious speciality DSP from the Suite. Some of which I cut out to adorn the sentiment.

The above card was quick and easy to make and easy to colour using one of the filler stamps.

The last card was cased from the Catalogue and uses a new colour Grapefruit Grove for the flowers and Old olive for the leaves.

Butterfly Basics and Watercolour Wings

Next week I will be running a Butterfly Card class at my house.
I used Watercolour Wings for the first card. The Stamparatus is ideal for positioning the butterfly stamps so that they line up. The leaves are from the Painted Harvest set and the peekaboo peach background flower is the retired Saleabration Heartfelt Blooms.

 I used one of the matching dies for the second card. The sentiment is from Butterfly Basics as is the tiny flower accent.

Here is the same card in  a different colour and without the gold embossing.

Painted Harvest was used for the background behind the butterfly.
The colour combo is Pool Party, So Saffron and the returning Mint Macaron.

Sahara Sand was used for the card base in the last card. The beautiful flower is from the Butterfly Basics Stamp Set. For stamping I used Berry Burst and the retiring Wild Wasabi.
