Techniques Class

Here is a little Sneak Peek of the 3 projects we will be completing at my Techniques class on April 4th. We will use baby wipes, beads, and bleach to create these effects. Please contact me if you are interested in attending.

Old School Truck

Hopefully my brother-in-law to be doesn't read my blog because here is the birthday card I made for him (his birthday isn't until the 12th). He is a painter specializing in real flame paint jobs on motorbikes. I'm not that talented so I will stick to old school flames. The stamp set I used is Loads of Love. The wheels are Jumbo eyelets.

A Few More Samples

Here are the two make'n'takes from last week's Open House. The first one is a square card using the Level 2 hostess set - A Little Somethin'. It is a 3X3 card to fit in the small square envelopes.

The other was a simple card using the sweetest stem embosslit (in the Big Shot), the scallop edge punch and a square punch to create the V shape on the sayings tag.

Finally, here is a VERY quick valentine I whipped up for Matthew's 3 class teachers. This card is 3.5" X 4.5". I used the 'A Happy Heart' stamp set in real red.

Happy Stampin'!
