October Card Class "Holiday Wishes"
Here are the cards that we made in class this month, which were all about the holidays.
Cards #1A, 1B, 1C and 1D: Watercolor Christmas
The Watercolor Christmas project kit was the source of the first four cards. We made 1 of each of the four designs and used the coordinating Watercolor Christmas stamp set for the sentiments. For additional shine, we used the gold foil from 1 of the envelope liners and cut it up to add to each card face. The rest of the emblishments were included in the project kit too.
Card 2: All Hearts Come Home for Christmas
This card was inspired by a Belgian Demonstrator's card. I like how she used the stitched oval framelit and scalloped oval framelit cut outs in Whisper white to create a cozy winter scene. The house stamps and tree shapes are from the Hearts Come Home stamp set and coordinating Hometown Greetings Edgelits dies. The star cutouts are from the Hometown Greetings Edgelits dies and the sky was sponged in Pool Party.
Cards 3A and 3B: Every Good Wish
Cherry Cobbler is my favorite holiday red color and is featured on this card. It is one of the colors used in the Be Merry designer series paper that was used for the background strip. The stamp set used was Every Good Wish . For the holly berries, those are pearls colored with a red sharpie. I can just smell the pine boughs and mulled cider!
Card 4: Holiday Penguins
And the final card is my favorite--it has critters of course! These cute little penguins were made using the balloon punch that includes a large balloon and medium balloon. We trimmed off the balloon ends and were left with the shape used for the penguin body. The white tummies were made using the 1" circle punch and 3/4" circle punch. The eyes were made using the 1/4" circle punch and journaling pens. For the wings, the bow builder punch's ribbon shape was used and cut in half. For the igloo, it was punched using the 2 1/4" circle and embossed using the brick embossing folder. The background designer paper was from Be Merry, same as card 3. Have a holly jolly penguin holiday!
Hope that you enjoyed October's class!
