As we enter October I am really struggling with the holiday spirit, hopefully it hits soon otherwise I guess I will be running out to buy cards, gasp did that really just come out of my mouth!!

So I wanted to play with some new items and I received an adorable candy holder from a friend, 

so I combined everything and this is what I got!

The box can hold some sweet treats.

Please include in your class kit,

pencil

bone folder

scissors

(black versafine & foam applicator if you have it)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, I'm absolutely loving this weather!

The last Tuesday of the month, Balloon Fiesta is just around the corner. 

With that thought in mind I thought we would make a hot air balloon card, 

my family loves to receive these!

So this simple card kept evolving, but I am happy with it,

we will be making an easel card.

Here is the card closed.

Here is what it looks like open.

Today's class kit please be sure to include

bone folder

eraser (white if you have one)

black edger (ink pad or pen)

Good morning everyone!

If you  follow his instructions the technique works, I am always amazed.

Life is crazy!

Sorry about the delay in posting this weeks (tomorrows) card ...

Wax paper resist background, was going for that dried cracked earth look.

I have had this set of Stamp A Mania southwest stamps sitting on my desk forever,

time to use them.

Since the background starts out white you can bring any color distress ink and foam applicator if you would like to change it up! I will have the wild honey and vintage photo for you to use in class.

I used water color pencils to color the image, again if you would prefer a different medium, feel free.

Today's class kit

water brush or blender pen

black edger

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and see you tomorrow *Ü*

8/28/2012 class @CP2

This weeks card we are working with an acetate window.

In the past we have done this with circles or various shapes cut

and the acetate positioned behind the opening.

I was watching a video in which Jennifer McGuire uses a piece of decorative acetate.

See the video below, hopefully it works, haha!

 

 

So this was the inspiration for this card, the white swirls is where the acetate panel is.

 

 

I do own the die that Jennifer makes the felt flower with

and one day we will also be playing with that!

 

Include in your class kit

temporary adhesive

FYI,  I used

distress inks, broken china & peeled paint with a foam blending tool

chipped sapphire for the edges

 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and see you on Tuesday!

 

 

8/21/2012 class @CP2

About a year ago or so I just had to have this Tim Holtz/sizzix die and have yet to use it.

My goal this week was to make a card utilizing the rosette.

After a bunch of failed attempts I came up with a card that was ok.

Killing time on pintrest or looking for inspiration ... 

I came across a pin by Liane, wa la I was inspired!

Here is this weeks card. Thank you Liane!

Make sure you have included in your class kit

liquid glue aka zig glue pen

black edger pen or pad

Today is party day celebrating the birthdays of

Today's technique is water stamping,

we have done this before but I really like the results,

there are so many possibilities!

This is the card we did in January 2011

and here is this weeks card

Kept it simple as far as embellishments go.

 May add a gold peel off sentiment when I decide the occasion.

Class kit

The usual plus your black edger, pen or pad

Stamping foam or mouse pad

I used ripe persimmon & picked raspberry distress inks

and two foam blending tools, bring those if you would like.

That's about it, enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Birthday celebration next Tuesday

8/7/2012 class @CP2

Friday afternoon and the sample is done and the class is all prepped ...

decided Sami & I will go for pedicures and out to dinner *Ü*

Tuesday,s technique is call faux chalk board or black magic depending on what site you are reading.

There are two ways to do this, one is with chalks and the other is colored pencils. So of course I had to try both. I do have a preference but I will bring everything so you can choose your medium.

Please include in your class kit

stamping foam or mouse pad (for background stamp)

gold edger, pen or pad

See you Tuesday, enjoy your weekend!



Cal's Cruise 2011

Well I actually finished my father in laws birthday album from last year in time for this years birthday! In the mail and on it's way. Kept it very simple, so it was really quick & easy.
