Happy Times May Workshop

Happy Times May Workshop Cards

 Here are the three cards we will be making this month for the card workshop. We will be using the "Happy Times" paper paper and the "Happy Times" stamp set, which will only be available this month.

Here are the details of the cards:

 Don't you just love those colors! This cards was really easy to put together. For the border on the sentiment I used the gold marker, very easy! I will list all the supplies for these cards on the bottom. I lifted the sentiment also with some thin 3-D tape. The ribbon knot is glued on top of the ribbon, make it easy on yourself!

 

The Shimmer Trim is one of my favorite embellishments! On this card I cut the trim in half and put it on top of one of the zip strips from the paper. I also distressed the fern cardstock. Distressing gives the artwork more depth. You may notice, I also distressed the sentiment piece.

For the sentiment I started on the bottom with Pomegranate, then Sorbet, then second generation in Sorbet - wonderful effect. Love it! I used C1633 For Family for the message.

Once again, I used second generation stamping on this card and distressing. The beautiful cardstock really sets this card apart!

Here is the list of supplies for the three cards:

CC1063 Happy Times paper pack
CC1064 Happy Times stamp set
C1633 For Family
B1594 Sending Love
X5777 Fern CS
X5772 Canary CS
1385 White Daisy CS
Z2653 Pomegranate Ink
Z2164 Sorbet
Z2650 Fern Ink
Z2060 Thin 3-D tape
Z1986 Pink Shimmer Trim
Z3088 Coral Shimmer Trim
Y1003 2 x 2 Block

Upcoming May workshop

Hope you can join us - we will try to work in some interesting techniques again.  This is the paper and stamp set we will use. They will only be available this month!

We normally make at least 3 projects, but we will see how many we can finish for this class.  Hope you can join me.
Check my blog if you would like to see details about the previous workshops and how we put the cards together!
The fee will be $10, that will cover the supplies for the cards and the fee for the meetup group and me pre-cutting the projects. So, please if you RSVP, let me know if you cannot make it at least a day in advance, thank you.

Please RSVP as soon as possible to hold your spot, I always have several people attend who are not part of the meetup group, thanks. Space is limited - I already have several  people who said, they want to come! Please let me know if you prefer a morning or evening class - I may add a morning class if I have enough interest for it.
Please let me know if you would like me to add a scrapbooking class as well. Several people have expressed an interest in that. I will also need to know if you will be available in the morning or evening.

If you do not have any of the items below, please contact me and I can help you get them either ordered or let you know which of the items we will use that evening. Check my website for the items you may want to stock your toolbox with :).

Your basic tool kit for scrapbook or card classes should be at least:
•  Scissors
• favorite adhesive: tombow style adhesive, glue dots, glue pen
• foam mounting tape
• bone folder

If you have them also bring:
• ruler
• pencil

• cutting mat
• exacto knife
• tweezers
• piercing tool
• sponging and sanding tool
• corner rounder
• 12" trimmer
We may not always use all of these items, but its a good thing to have these items in your "tool box". You can always order additional items at my website before you come to class :) and  I always have extra supplies on hand, but things will go smoother if you have your own items with you. I will have all the other supplies for you like paper, embellishments, etc.
Thanks, hope to hear from you soon!

Past Spring Workshops 2016

 

 

The stamp sets featured in these cards are not available anymore, but I still wanted to share, because the patterns for the cards can easily be used on other cards as well. 

On the spring cards I used CTMH water colors on each card. I love to use our water colors, because they are so rich and creamy! Now, with our new brushes, applying the color is even easier!

Quantity:

Waterbrush—Small Round

$5.95 Z3224

Waterbrush—Medium Round

$5.95 Z3225

Waterbrush—Medium Flat

When I made the bunny card, it was easy to make the grass with Washi Tape. I love Washi Tape, in all kinds of different colors - it is so versatile!

The "Thanks" card was very easy to put together. Can you see, how I used the ribbon underneath the sentiment for accent? Very simple, but it adds a lot to the card. Add some distressing to the edge of your card and you are good to go! Easy, quick and simple, yet a nice card.

Have fun!
