The cards that Wendy created for her card making class were SO WONDERFUL!!!

Check out how fun these cards are!!

The first card that Wendy created was inspired from this beautiful background stamp from Taylored Expressions, Wildflower Background

To make the card:

Start by stamping out the Wildflower Background with Versafine Nocturne Ink and heat emboss it with Detail Clear embossing powder
To watercolor the flowers, start out by scribbling your Tombow Markers onto your silicone craft mat. Then use your Water Brushes to pick up color from the marker and watercolor your flowers.
Wrap a piece of polka-dot ribbon around the front of your card and use some double-sided tape to adhere it to the backside of the white card stock.
Mount the white card stock (with the floral image) onto a piece of black card stock using double-sided tape. Then mount that onto a bright yellow card base.

This card is SO WONDERFUL and bright!!

I love some of these other cards that students created... look how the water coloring is different on each card... how fun are these?

The next card that Wendy created was inspired from the Whittle Owls from Poppy and the Birch Tree Border die-cut from Taylored Expressions

To make the card:

Start out with a thick piece of beige card stock as your card base. Use one of your Large Picket Fence Blending Brushes to brush on 3 colors of Distress Ink: Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, and Festive Berries making sure to apply your inks to the middle of the card base where a "moon" might be.
Next, use your home die-cut machine to cut out a circle from your piece of patterned-burlap paper. Lay the piece of burlap-patterned paper onto the front of the card base and when you do so, the circle should be the color of the ink that you laid down earlier... this is the "Moon" in an orange color palette.
Next, use your home-die cut machine to cut out the Birch Tree out of a piece of off-white card stock. Adhere the Birch Tree to the front of the card base on the left side of the "moon" you just created. *When you adhere the Birch Tree, glue down the LEFT TRUNK completely flat and apply a few pop dots behind the RIGHT TRUNK.
Finish off the card by cutting out 2 Whittle Owls, one from Kraft card stock and one from Ivory card stock. The Whittle Owl die-cut is 2 pieces, and Wendy mixed and matched the Whittle Owl die-cuts so the colors correspond nicely. Adhere the Owls down by using a pop dots behind each owl.

I love how adorable this card is!!

The last card that Wendy created was inspired from the Whittle Wooden Ovals, Whittle Rabbit, Whittle Birds, and this stamp from Impression Obsession, Happy

To make the card:

Start out with a third-sheet of 12" x 12" card stock as your card base (so your card base measures 4" x 12"). Score your card stock at 2 1/4" and 4 3/4" so that when folded, it creates a tri-fold card
When your card is closed, on the LEFT PANEL use your Nesting Oval die-cuts and your home die-cut machine to cut out a small oval. On the RIGHT PANEL, use your Nesting Oval die-cuts to cut out a little larger oval.
Now cut out your Whittle Oval Wooden frames out of brown card stock. Use Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive to adhere the small wooden oval ON TOP of the small oval cut out and the large wooden oval ON TOP of the larger oval cut out. You will end up with the Whittle Wooden Ovals covering the oval cut-outs from earlier.
Using your home die-cut machine, cut out 2 Whittle Birds from light blue card stock and a Whittle Rabbit from white felt-weave card stock. Adhere one of the blue birds onto the small wooden oval and the other bird onto the larger wooden oval. When you close the card, you should be able to see through BOTH OVALS to the inside of the card. Adhere the Whittle Rabbit to the INSIDE of the card in the spot where the Ovals meet-up so when the tri-fold card is folded you can see the Whittle Rabbit peeking out from the inside of the card.
Finish off the card with a piece of brown polka-dot brown ribbon. The ribbon will wrap around the backside of the card to the front of the card. When the card is closed, adhere the ribbon to the LEFT PANEL and a little bit on the RIGHT PANEL so that when the card is closed you can tie it closed
