You all know how I love to troll the Internet for new ideas.

This is one of those cards that everyone is doing.

It's called a bridge fold card.

It's basically a double Z card with a strip 

that spans across the front, the bridge.

Best of all for me is that it 

folds to fit in an invitation envelope, yay!

Google it or search pinterest, there are so many variations 

and creativity.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

bone folder pencil w/ eraser

scissor

black edger

favorite coloring medium

(I used water based markers)

That should do it, see you Thursday.

All my November samples are DONE!

No November birthdays, so we can relax a bit.

Today we will be meeting in room 7.

Today's card started as a vision in all white, very elegant,

but that was too simple for class.

So I found an embossing folder that I had forgotten I bought.

Then I remembered the inking tools Bette gave us all one year.

So with that in mind I created something similar but with a removable surface.

Can't wait to show you!

So I was happy with the inking, moving onto the wreath.

After I completed these two cards I still wasn't happy.

It needed a bit of elegance (hard to see the gold in the picture) 

so this the one we will be creating.

Now I'm happy!

Please bring your basic class kit

including

ballpoint glue pen

tweezers

poker

gold edger

That should do it!

Save some candy for the trick or treaters *Ü*

See you Thursday,

Susan

Sorry I'm behind this week, 

still recovering from two huge classes last weekend.

But they both were a blast and I loved every minute.

On to this weeks card, 

I decided to use an Impression Obsession Stamp,

by the way they are this months featured catalog.

All IO purchases of on hand stock and special orders will receive a discount!

So sample #1 went into the trash.

Sample #2 is a little blah.

But loving the wilted violet color.

Elizabeth is ordering more, so if you want one let her know.

Sample #3 loving it!

 Sample #4

Swooning, this is my color!

The next one I may try combing the two colors.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

black or gold edger

your favorite distress ink 

blending tool

That should do it.

Enjoy your day and see you on Thursday.

Last class of 2014, unbelievable!

Wishing each and everyone of you a happy and healthy holiday season.

Today's card is actually quick & easy so we can get to eating and celebrating!

I used two items that I have used this past year, nice to get a second class out of them, lol.

In January 2014 we made this card with an Impression Obsession stamp.

In March 2014 we used this window die and a lovely spring time stamp.

This Tuesday we will be creating this card with both of the products above.

So a little stamping, a little coloring and we have this lovely winter scene.

Please bring your basic class kit including

I used brushed corduroy & a blending tool
to add some depth.

I used water color pencils and a water brush.

February first, where does the time go?

Today's card is a stamp that I bought from China Phoenix 2 a couple of months ago, 

time for it to see some ink. 

This winter scene by Impression Obsession is wonderful.

Couldn't decide how much color I wanted to add, so I did it two ways.

The choice is yours.

Looking at it now I think it needs a bit of sparkle,

going to pull out my Wink of Stella Clear pen.

Basic Class Kit

if you have

water color pencils or other coloring medium
