Pemberley Workshop Preview! Cards!

1 dozen cards created with the Pemberley Paper Pack

The Pemberley Workshop that is happening on the 24th of March will not be limited to Scrapbook pages! You can choose to create one dozen cards instead! The card designs were inspired by the scrapbook pages and translated into card versions. You will have so much fun creating these! Let's take a closer look at what you will take home when you leave the workshop.

Card #1: Layered flower stamped in Honey ink with bitty adhesive pearls!

Card #2A: Uses the zip strip as the card sentiment and design element.

Card #2B: The large flower cutout is simple and beautiful in this design. We will use "Card Word Puzzle" coordinating rose stamp to decorate the envelopes.

Card #3A: Large cutout butterfly is glued to the card surface in the middle, but raised up at the end of its wings on 3D foam tape.

Card #3B: The hexagon shapes are flipped over to show the beautiful yellow pattern on the other side. We will stamp butterflies and color in with colored pencil and white gel pens.

Card #4: Simple, quick, and beautiful. These colors and patterns go together so well, there is really nothing more that needs to be done! :)

When our supplies arrive I will deliver your order to you. If you have chosen to create cards I will insert the card cutting guide for you to use to prepare before class. You will cut out all of your card stock and paper ahead of time so that we will have time to stamp and assemble at the workshop. Please contact me if you have questions while you are cutting.

Here are a few close-up pictures of some of the fun details!

 

 

 

 

 

Roar! Dinosaur Birthday Cards!

When the New Close to my Heart Idea book came out the stamp set "Roar" caught my eye. I could not wait to get my hands on it! The adorable dinosaurs... The witty puns in the sentiments... :)



Dinosaurs are the perfect theme for creating Birthday Cards for boys or girls. In this case I created a Birthday card for my Little Brother. He has autism and is amazed by anything "big". Dinosaurs definitely fit that requirement! Today we had a snow/ice day so the kids were home from school with me. We worked on our cards together and talked about how excited Uncle Aaron will be to receive so many cards in the mail!

 

On my card I used the color scheme suggested by the current Colour Q Challenge. I found similar colors in my collection of supplies.

 

The February sketch challenge from Heart 2 Heart was the perfect pattern for the card I wanted to make. I used the bones as the vertical element and layered it with scrabble tiles cut out from a paper in the "Cruisin" Paper Packet from Close to my Heart. Instead of a heart I placed my Dinosaur, looking up at the name.

For my Dinosaur I stamped it once in Cocoa on paper from the Victory Paper Packet and then trimmed it out and glued it right on the card. Then I stamped the Dino in Sunset ink on white and trimmed him out and placed him slightly out of alignment with the brown one and raised up on 3D foam tape. This was all an effort to create a "shadow".
