Asian Card Class -- Saturday, April 17th and Monday, April 19th

Please join us on Saturday, April 17th and Monday, April 19th for another asian card class.  We'll make 6 cards.  Thanks to my lovely and talented cousin Laurie.. she made the first 3 and I made the last 3 cards.  I was under the gun with class schedules and thankfully she helped me out!   

This first card is a bonsai card with japanese newspaper background.  Laurie used warm tones for this card.  Stamps by Hero arts.

This next card is made with three cans by Hanko and a background floral stap.  She embossed both pieces with copper stardream in the back.

This card is my favorite.  It has gingko leaves by Kodomo stamped in green and embossed in pastel embossing powder.  Our favorite embossing powder in the store.  We sell tons.  She also embossed the dragonfly by rubbermoon.  The colors are crisp and so beautiful!

With this card.  i punched out a circle for the moon for the background and it makes the cranes somewhat backlit.  stamp by Hanko.

These are the new kokeishi dolls by Hanko.  i used a cherry blossom stamp by impress as a background and stamped out a fun cherry blossom punch.  using glitter glue, i made my own stamin.

and finally.. this uses our fun decorative tape.  I used two different kinds of tapes for a small background and punched out a big oval to put the plant in.  the blossom stamp is by impress.

Hope you can join us!   

Bird of a feather card class-- Friday, April 16th

Please join us for our birds of a feather card making class this

Friday, April 16th from 10am-12pm and 6pm-8pm cost:  $35.00.

 here are some of the beautiful cards we'll be making!

This one is made with new floral stamps by savvy stamps.  i stamped all of the images in brillance ink and then decorated the card with pretty ribbons.

This next card also uses new spring stamps by Savvy.  i stamped the branch in whale grey by color box chalk and embossed the bird in gold.  Sentiment is by A Muse.

This next card uses some new decorative tape that we just got in last week.  The black and white polka dots add to this card.  I stamped the branch by memory box and embossed it in black and silver and added liquid pearls all over the card.

I love this card.  i used another kind of decorative tape on the side of this card and added some ribbon.  stamps are by savvy and memory box.  I had a notepad that looked like this and i just kind of randomly copied some of the color scheme.

And finally this card is one of my favorites.  It uses new stamps by hero arts.  I punched out the penant flags and wrote in the word nest.  The flag punch is by Marvy and it punches out these triangles.  too cool!  i used smooch ink to color in the middle of the flower and hot pink ribbon on the side of thecard.  The flowers were stamped in brilliance ink black and the birds were stamped in the lighter black by brilliance.  i punched out a crown for one of the birds and added a little gemstone to the eye to give it more charm.  hope to see you this friday!
