My First Class

New Year New Start

Hi All

Well 2018 the start of a new era!  This was the first class on my own, using whatever products I wanted, in a totally new venue, so I tried to make a varied selection.

We used the Hobby Art set for the guys, this is a great set as it has two main images and then lots of accent stamps - hence the wine bottles and glasses.  The middle background sets were again from Bee Crafty, using the numbers set and clear embossing powder to create the resist and the harlequin set and copper embossing powder to create the darker side.

Abby and Tom got engaged so I made them an engagement card and then adapted the design with a different stamp set for an anniversary card.  These stamps are from Bee Crafty, thanks girls they are lovely and we used most of the set in the class. Just missed out the larger ones as they wouldn't fit in my new tonic octagon frame.

And last but not least the quick card - Pete Hughes bubbles from Sizzix and lovely flowers from leane creatief, die cut out of a background brayered with Tim Holts Distress Oxides. This is a really quick and effective card, with a modern twist using twine, washi tape and a bit of florist ribbon.

Engagement/Anniversary just change the message on the tag.

Clean and simple using the new Sizzix bubbles die from Pete Hughes 

Throw it all in there for the guys with the Hobby Art Vintage plonk selection

(Agnes, this is what we made, I thought I would upload them all so you don't miss out by being so far away.  I hope you manage to join us soon.)

For everyone who did make it, I hope you enjoyed the day.

Thanks

My latest class cards

My latest class

Hi All
Here are the class cards from Saturday 14th October's class, using Distress Oxides and Woodware stamps for the baubles, each piece is unique and this got quite messy to do, but the oxides create some lovely colours, very different from Distress Inks.

Woodware Baubles and Distress Oxides

Beautiful Polar Bear Stamp with Pixie Powder Background

The Polar Bear, is one of my favourites of this year's Woodware Christmas stamps, coloured using Copic pens with a creative expression embossing folder, this time using Pixie Powders in the background, these give a beautiful sheen to the background rather like the I imagine northern lights to be. Using the extra pixie powder card behind the sentiment to pull it all together.

 I hope you like them.

Best wishes

Lesley
