2/25/2014 class @CP2

All day I have been working on various cards for this class,

nothing was coming out the way that I imagined.

Finally cleared off my desk, put everything away,

a clean slate. Let's keep it simple.

So I dug through my never been used box 

and saw this Penny Black stamp.

So this is what we will be creating this week.

Please bring your basic class kit including

black edger

I used ultra fine tip sharpies,

so if you have a favorite color bring it.

Time to start dinner ...

See you Tuesday,

Bette had been telling me about a die she bought when she went to a stamp show in Tennessee. 

Well last week she brought it in and offered it to me to use for a class. 

So a great big Thank You to Bette.

In March of 2012 we made this card,

I cut and scored each one. yikes!

The Stamp Doctor released this die.

One pass through your die cut machine

 and it is cut and scored

 and fits into an invitation size envelope,

Did you see me doing my happy dance?

Center Step Card Die

Mid February and still sticking to my NY resolution,

Bring your basic class kit

including your

non stick craft sheet

water brush or paint brush

Last post for the day, figured I might as well do it all!

The feedback I was getting last week is that lunch is as important if not more important than the card.

Yes eating is a priority!

So here's today's card, we should be able to finish this one fairly quickly so we can get to lunch.

(Cheddars restaurant is this weeks lunch, just in case you were wondering)

Please bring your basic class kit

including a black edger and a white edger.

Have a wonderful week.

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

water brush or paint brush

wink of stella clear

weathered wood distress ink

foam blending tool

1/28/2014 class @CP2

Still sticking to my resolution to use what I have,

This stamp is from when both of my kids were in High School Choir,

and it's never seen ink! Today I introduced them.

I pulled out my Gelatos and used them two ways.

The choice is yours.

Along with your basic class kit

bring your 

non stick craft mat

paint brush & water bottle

vintage photo & foam blending tool

edger (I used gold)

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Today we are using something old and something new.

I received this wonderful die for the holidays,

triple square flip it's, as you can see they are out of stock again.

(I'm so grateful to my friend for getting me one!)

We are using scrapbook paper that've had well, forever.

So colors will vary.

Now I know many of you have used these dies in 

one of several classes with Sue Rosenberg,

Today I will show you a trick to extend the back of the card, 

creating an additional flap so you have somewhere to write.

Here's the card closed.

(not happy with the placement of "celebrate", but

we can fix that)

Half way open

All the way open

Basic class kit

including a black edger

if you wish to add some color to the images,

bring which ever medium you prefer.

Enjoy your long weekend,

See you Tuesday.
