Half Front Card CASEd from Dawn

We made this card first because it seemed a harder card, [it wasn't]; we had to cut around the flowers. Then after sticking down that piece of whisper white we cut the Crumb Cake card, around the flowers leaving a small border then snipped the card at the fold, to the top of the card. This is called a Half Front Card and was CASEd from Dawn Griffith. The colours are Crumb cake Card with Whisper White stamped with Strawberry Slush. Rhinestones complement the center of the small flowers and add sparkle. 

The second card is another version of the Half Front Card. This time we measured down about 2" or 5cms, along the opened side and cut across the card and along the fold to the top leaving a half front. The flowers were stamped onto Very Vanilla Card and then punched out using the matching punches. I used Basic Pearls on this card to give a softer subtle look. The colours are Elegant Eggplant and Rose Red with Very Vanilla. I've also used a piece of DSP from one of the Paper stacks from a previous catty.

Scrap Pages I created for a class

Two pages, the first one is my favourite, however since we are going to be using a  Stampin' Up! Simply Scrappin' Kit, "Afternoon Daydream",  I thought I'd better use all the elements from the pack for the class to see how quick it is to create from the kit; have a look below for the page made from the kit, with only photos and some bling added.

 Ok, so the above page has a patterned butterfly and three plain white ones, some dots and strips and the Journaling space from the kit, the rest is what I have punched or adhered using the papers from the kit. The 'bling' is not part of the kit so I've added that as extras. I've daubed most of the flowers, you can tell the tiny ones are not daubed, and of course the Butterflies have been daubed, using the same colour as the paper. O nearly forgot, since the slide in the photo [above], was closer to Daffodil Delight, I used that instead of More Mustard which is the colour in the kit, and is represented in the page below.

I'm sorry these kits are from last years catalogue, I'm a bit slow using my SU stash, since I only have one scrap class per month, my choice would be to have at least two even three, or one per week. It seems to me that scrap pages daunt some folk, I can't understand why, maybe the size?? 12 x 12 ins; in my eyes they are simply a LARGE card....the techniques are EXACTLY the same.

Anyway each to their own, this bottom page has All from the kit except the photos and Rhinestones!

What I've been up to

Since last post,  I've been to Convention and  had a wonderful time; I had planned to blog before I went tho that didn't eventuate...so now I'm back with a few cards I have just finished.
I  made these cards for friends, 

This card was made for a team member to lift her spirits, I used a favourite Stampin' Up! stamp [now retired]. Card stock and ink is Pacific Point. I used the paper piecing tool to create a pattern,on the rectangle on the left. 













This card is for another team member.  I've used another favourite stamp set that has been retired for a while, Card stock is Real Red, as is the satin ribbon. I daubed using 

a bit of sponge the Whisper White card looked too stark and the daubing softened it nicely.

And this  card is for a customer who is just 17!!! Do you remember when you were that old!!! 


I've used DSP from the Paisley Petals pack, glued it to Not Quite Navy after cutting around some of the flowers, then daubed with NQN and then attached Whisper White card that has been punched with the Dotted Spotted Ribbon Border. The base card  is Baja Breeze. Sorry that the photo is not straight.








Soon I'll post the photos of the display I'm planning to have in the Post Office Window...in the Village. Then photos of the display of the Show...stay tuned


happy crafting
Colleen
