Asian card class

I burned the midnight oil yesterday and finally made our class samples for this week's asian card class!  Here they are-- all 6 cards!  Hope you like them.

This first card is made with stamps from Hanko.  I used their cherry blossom background stamp and then stamped their cherry blossom thank you and layered it.  I used peach and cream and green colors to make it springy.

This next card is made with the new cherry blossom stamp from hero arts.  I used spring colors to brighten up the card and used some pretty ribbon.

This next card is made with the new asian clear stamp set by A Muse.  I stamped the cherry blossom tree on the ek success oval, marvy round and oval punches and cut off the bottom and top of the shapes and then pasted a black piece of paper in the back and used some gold glitter glue to pose as the string.  I then scalloped an edge of cherry blossom pink paper and stamped the sentiment arigato (thank you in japanese).  So pretty!

This next card is a window card of a Geisha woman with cherry blossom trees. The stamp set is by Kodomo and I used the bamboo by Judikins as a background.

The cherry blossom punch is by ek success.

This next card is my fav.  It's our new cherry blossom stamp by impression obsession.  If you like this set.. get it now!  We only have 5 left.  It's actually two separate stamps.. a bold and an outline image.

I first stamped it in dark brown and then stamped it again using marvy pens and stamped it on top of the branch.

The scalloped edge on the bottom was used with our new Marvy paper trimmer.. i also love this new tool.  So portable.  It comes with 7 different blades and this was the scalloped edge.  The hi friend is by A Muse and i stamped it on top of our mini tag punch tied some ribbon and a beautiful square card.  I think it would be pretty as an invitation.

This next card is a new clear stamp set by kodomo using their new ink pads!  It's called Ikebana.  It's the art of beautiful floral arrangements.  Kodomo has 8 new ink pads that are rainbow and when you use your stamps it comes out in this effect.  It's really cool.  Again, I used the marvy paper trimmer to make the scallop edging, it's like a window awning card.

Hope you like the new cards.  Our class is full for Friday evening , we added a class for Saturday from 6pm-8pm with 3 slots left.  If you would like to take the class please call the store!  Hope to see you soon.
