Well, it was card class yesterday and we had a lot of fun. There is so much talking, hardly anyone ever finishes all the projects, despite us always running over. This is the Christmas card we made:
We used Real Red and Very Vanilla cardstock and a strip of the absolutely gorgeous Holly Berry Bouquet designer papers with the matching Real Red satin ribbon. We punched 2 'fluffy' triangles (as people were calling it yesterday), from designer stack dotty paper, using the Petite Pennant Builder punch. The dotty paper on this card was Garden Green. We then glittered all the dots using a glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds. The top triangle was folded in half and stuck to the other using Multi Purpose Liquid Glue. As this glue is latex (rubber) based it stays very flexible, allowing some movement in the layer without coming off.
We cut a circle of Very Vanilla and embossed it using the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and the Big Shot. I then used some Crumb Cake ink round the edges. It was all stuck together and the 'Merry Christmas' sentiment was added in Soft Suede ink. This gives a softer look than using black ink. The sentiment is from the Contempto Christmas stamp set.
I have tried to show you the lovely glitter effect on the Holly Berry Bouquet paper, in this photo but it is difficult to tell. Hopefully you can get some idea. These papers are really fabulous and suitable for other occasions too, not just Christmas. If you would like a 6x6 piece of every speciality designer paper in the catalogue, then keep an eye on my blog as I will be announcing a paper share at the launch party on Saturday 15th Oct, and will then put it on the blog. If you would like to come to the launch party, it is not too late to book your place, so please contact me ASAP.
I'm having a whole day off work tomorrow to craft and get ready for various events so I should have lots to show you soon. So, keep checking back for more information and more pictures of projects.x
