I colored the flowers with distress oxide & foam blender

We will celebrate Evelyn & Sara's birthdays on the 23rd,

When I envisioned today's card I saw it as a masculine card.

The metal and the embossed pattern screamed manly!

Then I tried one with feminine colors and that looks good also.

Today you will have your color options as well as the sentiment.

We are using alcohol inks, perfect for non porous surfaces.

Be warned, they permanently stain everything.

So do not wear your favorite clothing today.

They are so much fun, I promise it will be worth it.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

glue stick

sanding block

scissor

paint pen edgers-silver

if you have 

blending tool & felts

alcohol inks (I will bring all of mine)

That should do it, see you Thursday!

Today's card is using an unmounted stamp 

I bought at the convention last year.

I believe it is from Stampland.

Metallics are HOT right now.

There are machines to apply metallic foil as well as other methods.

Today I went back to basics with gold embossing powder.

I used an Anna Griffin embossing folder that

Elizabeth special ordered for me quite some time ago.

The name of the folder is Empire Arch.

I still felt I needed some more glitz

and started digging through my supplies for the perfect medium.

WaLa!

Viva Inka Gold Metallic Rub.

(I had it in 4 colors, teehee)

I think they make a lovely set as a holiday gift.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

stamping foam

scissor

gold edger

That should do it!

Enjoy your week & stay warm.

It's party day, come celebrate David, Jenna & Judy's birthday!

I was reading one of Jennifer McGuire blog post and 

she did a series of cards that she called Faux Textured Metal.

They sure do shimmer but not sure that they look like textured metal.

They are really pretty and the process sure is addictive!

Here's 5 that I whipped out in no time and I have a 6th in the progress.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

non stick craft sheet

ball point glue pen

poker

edgers

If you have/want

distress inks that will blend

ink blending tool for those colors

perfect pearls or pearl ex

brush for perfect pearls

favorite embossing folder

Of course I will bring inks, blenders, perfect pearls, brushes

and an assortment of embossing folders

for all of you to share.

Enjoy your week see you on Thursday!

I was recently looking at all the die cuts on the wall at Scraps Galore 

and found this Memory Box die called Steampunk Corner and just had to have it!

I knew I wanted to cut it out of foil and distress it,

but which method should I use?

So I decided to make the background embossed foil

 and use my two favorite techniques.

Here are the two samples I made.

So for the background we will use a black paint dauber and a baby wipe.

The corner we will use Alcohol Inks.

Kinda fun huh?

Please bring your basic class kit

including

black paint dauber

glue stick

zig 2 way glue

score tape or redline tape

black edger

That should do it!

Remember we are celebrating August birthdays on the 27th,

David, Jenna & Judy

Enjoy your week,

12/9/2014 class @CP2

Those of you who were in class yesterday got a sneak peek of this card.

I bought this die last year when there were heavy discounts on holiday merchandise.

So it's time for it to come out of the box and be used!

Love the detail down to the laces, Tim is such a clever man.

I searched high and low, doubled back and could not find my snowflake embossing folder!

Plan B, swirls that would mimic the movement of the snowflakes.

Then it occurred to me that I had used the snowflake folder on holiday cards, duh.

Found it, so now I had to make a second card, I also switched the orientation.

Not sure which I like better so the choice will be yours.

Please bring your basic class kit

including

edger ( brown or silver)

wink of stella (if you don't want to use stickles)

I used the following distress inks and foam blenders

broken china

iced spruce

antique linen

gathered twigs

silver or brushed pewter acrylic paints

That should do it, enjoy your week and I hope you find some time to get inky!
