MARCH CARD CLASS

 30.3.21

Our first card class since October 2019!  Had a wonderful time with the ladies who were able to come - I think everyone was glad to be back.

Jeanette's project was a little treat box for Easter.  The ladies were very happy as they were able to make 5 boxes from a sheet of A4 cardstock.  Who wouldn't like to receive this?

For my projects, I found inspiration and a tutorial from the very talented Gail Ellis from Blue Rose Paper Treasures.  Its called the split negative technique and so effective.  Basically you stamp the same image both on coloured cardstock and white (the stamparatus is perfect for this as they have to be in the exact same place on the cardstock).   I stamped in Night of Navy on the white, and heat embossed in white on the Night of Navy.  The ladies also had a choice of using the retiring Pretty Peacock instead of the Navy. Then you cut wherever you like (I cut at 1 1/2 inches) on both pieces and then you line them up and like magic you have a perfect whole image!

The beauty of this technique is you get two cards  - bonus!

We used the same technique for the second cards,  but with different stamps for a completely different look

If you would like to come along to class, held once a month , please contact me - details at top of blog - we would love to see you,

Thanks for visiting.
