We will be celebrating Sue R birthday

on Thursday March 14.

Today's card is one that I've been wanting to do for a while.

It's called an eclipse card.

I will show you the style we will be making in class.

Below those will be the ones I made and did not like,

but you know what there is nothing wrong with them and I will use them!

These were either too dark or warped from a 

wet application that they didn't stamp well.

Please bring your basic class kit 

including

liquid glue (elmers)

black edger

tweezers

2 colors of distress oxides or distress inks that blend well

foam applicators for your colors

Fun Foam in a contrasting color to your ink

That should do it, stay warm and see you next week!

Today we will be using one of the Penny Black 

scenic stamps called Terraced Lane.

Penny Black stamps make it so easy to 

create a beautiful card with little effort.

Please bring your basic class kit 

including

I used distress inks (not oxides)

with foam blenders

mowed lawn

wild honey

barn door

Any green, yellow & red will work

gold edger

That should do it, see you next week.

Happy Valentine's Day

Bring a small snack to share if you would like 

in celebration of Valentine's day.

No birthdays this month.

Today's card is a technique called Distress Ink mono printing.

I saw this on Jennifer McGuire's blog and decided to give it a try.

I have many samples to share with you. 

This is one of those two for one techniques. 

I used the second piece or the mono print to die cut the focal image.

If you would prefer to have the second piece to create another card

 you will need to bring extra paper to die cut the focal image.

Here are some of the cards I made.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

Paper towel

baby wipes

spray bottle w/ water

scissors

liquid glue 

black edger

Distress Ink pads (not Oxides) your color choice

(if you have reinkers, a juicy pad works better)

Important

My heat gun died yesterday.

Thanks to Claire she saved to day!

If you have a heat gun please bring to class.

I'm going to try to find a good one locally,

if not I will order one.

Q&E Cards @ NDB 2/23/2019

I know I normally teach on the third Saturday of each month but 

the people who take my class in person needed it to be 

moved to the 23rd instead of the 16th.

It's my intention to have everything cut and packaged by the 16th.

If you are interested in this class I need to know by February 11th.

Class is still $20 for 10 cards.

OK, so here are the samples.

Everything is cut and placed in an envelope for your use. 

All you need is 

double sided adhesive

glue pen

tweezers

edgers optional

That should do it, have a wonderful weekend.

Happy February 💋

No birthdays this month but we will bring a snack to share on 2/14

Today's card we will be using this wonderful Simon Says Stamp.

I did 4  cards, each a little different process.

Couldn't decide which I like the best so you get to choose!

I also have 4 different die sentiments so you can choose that too!

love, thanks, hello, smile

Distress inks and foam blender, ombre effect.

candied apple/spiced marmalade/picked raspberry

 Faux water coloring.

I used Jane Davenport mermaid markers.

Any water based method would work 

eg markers or distress inks/craft mat & water brush.

 Distress inks and foam blenders.

picked raspberry/mustard seed/mermaid lagoon

 Direct to paper and sprayed with water to blend.

picked raspberry/mustard seed/mermaid lagoon.
