Card Sets with Jean & Susan November 2015

Here's another set of cards either

 keep them for yourself or give them as a gift. 

You will love them.

Jean has come up with another cutting template.

This one uses three 4"x 12" strips.

We both used Authentique papers and the same cutting guide,

yet they look so different!

The cost of this class is $20

you will receive all ten cards cut and ready to assemble 

packaged in a clear mailing envelope

You will also receive the cutting guide and a picture of each card.

The holidays are coming!

Elizabeth has discounted all Authentique Paper in the store at 15% off.

On the day of this class if you have attended or purchased a kit, 

you will receive 30% all in stock paper.

I love Authentique Paper, heavy weight and textured!

Call Scraps Galore today to reserve your seat or kit!

I was reading a post from Jennifer McGuire using the 

Hero Arts color layering stamps in a monochromatic color scheme

 rather than 3 colors. She also added white.

Here's her blog post

http://heroarts.com/blog/a-bit-of-kindess-a-free-download/

So this is what I came up with

I used a white colored pencil to highlight some of the areas on this one.

Same card but I added white gel pen to this one

 

 This is done with the other stamp in the set and the Hero Arts Ombre ink pad 

so two people can be stamping at the same time!

That's it, no ink blending today, aren't you glad!

Please bring your basic class kit 

including

stamping foam

scissors

white edger

white pencil or

gel pen 

(Scraps Galore has these for sale)

Have a wonderful week and see you on Thursday!

Hello all and welcome to November!

Well I'm still on my ink blending kick.

I recently came across two birch tree stamps 

that I bought at the convention from StampScapes.

Well StampScapes was not at the convention last year,

so these have been sitting around uninked for quite some time.

On the first sample I used

blueprint sketch

ripe persimmons

squeezed lemonade

On the second sample I used

faded jeans

wilted violet

 

On the third

blueprint sketch

wilted violet

 

I may also do another with reds and yellows!

Please bring your basic class kit

including

black or gold edger

your favorite sky colors distress inks

and matching blenders.

That should do it!

Enjoy your day and see you on Thursday.

BTW this month we will be celebrating Ginny Hill's birthday,

Thanks.

Last class for October, unbelievable!

Since autumn is in the air I thought I would follow suit!

We will be inking a strip of paper and then die cutting the leaves with 

Tim's Autumn Gatherings die.

I also pulled out a Penny Black set of words,

I will bring all three so you have the choice of sentiments.

Please bring your basic class kit 

including

ballpoint glue pen

tweezers

gold edger

I used the following distress inks,

you can bring whichever autumn colors you own and blenders.

gathered twigs

fossilized amber

rusty hinge

aged mahogany

seedless preserves

That should do it!

Remind me to talk about November birthdays.

Enjoy your day!

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.

As the temperatures cool down I'm ready for an Indian summer!

This card was made with a Dare 2B Artzy set called feathers.

I used one of the Hero Arts Ombe ink pads.

The color shift is subtle but I love the warmth it brings.

Gold is so popular right now I thought it would be the perfect finishing touch!

stamping mat/pad

gold edger
