Cascade Card Class - Wednesday 23rd July 2014

Hi everyone. The next card class is on Wednesday 23rd July, so not much notice this time. I have been asked to do a class on Cascade Cards and I was also asked to make the tic tic holders, which we have made previously. 

So, this is what I came up with:

I have gone for the rustic look, so if you like this project, please join us on Wednesday. The class will be held on Wednesday 23rd July, 7.00-9.30pm, at my house in West Bridgford.

Cost will be £12 as usual and includes everything you need except adhesives. As I'll be teaching you how to make this card, it would be useful if you had a trimmer with a score blade. if you don't have one of these, don't worry, you can use one of mine.

If you want to join us please contact me by email or phone before Tuesday 22nd July 6pm.

Patchwork Flower Shop

Here is the last of our Flower Shop cards. This one uses the 'patchwork' flower:

 

 

I used 2 of the In Colours, Crisp Cantaloupe and Strawberry Slush. The sentiment is from the Blooming with Kindness stamp set and the flowers were punched using the Pansy Punch.

 

There are 6 flowers in the Flower Shop stamp set and we only used 3 in this class. Here are the others:

 

 

This set can be bought as a bundle, the Flower Shop stamp set and the Pansy Punch for £31.75 ( 132727, wood) or £28.25 (132726, clear). If you would like to buy this, you can do so in my online shop www.mapleleafstampin.stampinup.net

Hope you liked these examples. x



 

Squigly Flower Shop Card

Here's another one of the cards we made with the Flower Shop stamp set. All the flower stamps are different and all can be punched out using the Pansy Punch. I call this the squiggly flower:

 

 

We stamped the flowers down the edge and then cut round them. We then stamped some separate flowers and added them with 3D pads. Some Rhinestones finished it off. We also stamped the envelope flap as you can see below. x

 

 

Vellum flower shop cards

I've realised that I haven't shown you these Flower Shop cards, which we made some time ago in one of our classes.

 

 

We used the Flower Shop stamp set with the matching Pansy Punch. If you're going to stamp onto vellum, you need to use StazOn so that it doesn't smudge and dries quickly. The sentiment panel has been cut using the Window Frames Collection dies and the Big Shot. Here's a close up of the flowers. I used a dauber and Daffodil Delight to colour the flower centre:

 

 

Here is each card again:

 

 

The sentiments are from a set that is now retired but there are lots of other sentiments you can use. I hope you like these cards. They have a lovely delicate feel to them. x
