Tuesday Card Class, April 25th

4/28/2017

 
This week for Tuesday with Wendy class, the cards all had a bit of an "Ocean" motif that flowed between the 3 different styles of cards.. and I LOVED THEM ALL!!

Wendy used these designs from Fred B. Mullett, Seahorse 2 and Rec. Net. I love how she even used some of this textured ribbon from May Arts to really bring an added element to the card.

If you'll notice, she did an interesting-fold technique here.. she stamped the sentiment (One of the sayings from the Penny Black set, Happy Wishes) on the backside of the seahorse image and made a tri-fold style of card..

She even embossed in 2 colors to really make this card interesting!! You'll have to stop by and see it in person to get the full effect!!
The next card is made using this new set from Stampendous featuring more Laurel Burch designs.. this one is called Mermaid.

Wendy stamped this image out on bright-colored paper and brought the whole thing together with this fun and funky paper from American Crafts, Hello Spring

Wow!! This card is beautiful!!

Wendy used Prismacolor pencils to bring the mermaid to life.. but I love it just plain as well! The colors are so vibrant.. love it for a summertime or birthday card!!
Isn't this card just stunning??!!
Picture
The last card, and one of the most popular from class, was this card which is made using a variety of stamps and die-cuts.

Wendy used these layering die-cuts from Memory Box to create this layered Ocean card... Coral Collage and Seaweed Collage. She used handmade paper on the front and plain white card stock as the base. When she cut out the shapes, you can see right into the inside of the card!!

Wendy stamped a little Octopus on a piece of thick vellum and placed him in the front and she stamped this Stylized Whale on the inside!! Both of these stamps are made by Stampendous

I LOVE the placement of the whale!! How cool is that!?

The sentiment for this card also comes from the Penny Black set, Happy Wishes
Just as a side-note, stamping and embossing on the vellum is REALLY NEAT, but you need to stamp on THICK vellum in order to achieve the proper effect!!

Tuesday with Wendy, April 11th

4/14/2017

 
Card class this week was so much fun, AS ALWAYS!!

These are the 3 cards that Wendy designed and I just LOVE them!!!
Picture
Each of these cards were made using different techniques.. I really enjoyed the different styles!!

The first card, pictured above on the far left, was made using a *brand new* stamp from Stampendous using another Laurel Burch design, Rainbow Safari

This card is DEFINITELY my favorite one!!!! Wendy used handmade paper from India to make the background and new Ombre Sequins from Hero Arts to accent!!

Note in the photo below how she created the background using the 2 pieces of handmade paper, one on the top of the image and one below it.. that is a great technique for only using up a little bit of patterned paper! I love how she matched up the 2 sheets so that the pattern is consistent on the top and bottom of the card.
This next card was inspired by this new die-cut recently out from Sizzix, Lantern

The idea with this die-cut is that you can cut it out 4 times, back it with a sheet of vellum, and create a little lantern!!

Wendy loved the design of this die-cut and decided to design a card instead. The image that cuts out is BEAUTIFUL!!! I just love all the little intricate flowers that pop up, and Wendy used mini pearl dot stickers in the middle of the flowers to make it even more elegant...

She backed the card with a sweet polka dot paper and this tone-on-tone, monochromatic look is just STUNNING!!! This card is much softer than the other cards in this series.. and would make a great Mother's Day card, wedding card, anniversary or baby card... the possibilities are endless with this one!!!

In her sample, Wendy used a die-cut from Dee's Distinctively..  Fathers, Mothers Day
This last card was created using an interesting technique... it is a collage style.

A couple weeks back Wendy took a Fish Printing class and was so inspired by what she created that she had to share some of the ideas in class this week!

The fish you see in these photos are ones designed by Fred B. Mullett.. and all of his fish stamps are created using real fish! So these stamps truly look realistic!

The technique: Wendy used 2 different weights of Mulberry paper. On the  thicker of the 2 papers, she spritzed water, then a couple different colors of sprays. *Because the paper is wet, the ink moves freely creating the soft watercolor effect*

Then, she stamped and embossed fish onto the lighter weight Mulberry paper. she used a little bit of PVA glue to adhere the pieces, and in doing so, some of the color from the paper behind leaked through!!

This effect is just too cool... And just like in Fish Printing, she did the eyes last! She went in with a little bit of colored pencil (Prismacolor works best!) and added a tiny touch of white gel pen for shine on the eye!!

Wow, what cool prints! The best part was.. each one is a little different!!
Stop by the store to see us, these cards are worth it to see in person!!

Join us for next Tuesday with Wendy on April 25th .. the fee is just $10 and you leave with 3 fully made cards!!
A great activity for you and your friend, a mom and daughter activity, or just for fun!! Join us, we have SO MUCH FUN!!!
