Welcome to my craftroom! I know it's been a while since I've been here but between getting ready for last month's class and my SIL's baby shower I've been very busy! Speaking of last month's class, here are the beautiful cards we made!
This first card was made with a set I just love, Fifth Avenue Floral! It's just so versatile, stamped on colored cardstock or printed paper it's beautiful! For this card we stamped it twice on printed paper and cut them out, cutting the second one on the inside layer. We then layered the images with pop dots to give it a dimensional look. Definitely one of my new favorite sets!
For this second card we used a retired set but it had just the look I wanted. We stamped the image twice on cardstock. We then cut out a rectangular space around one of the images, working our way around the image so that it remained intact. We then layered the cut image over the solid image with pop dots so that it gave us a two-dimensional look with the flowers in the background. We also stamped the wagon, cut it out, and layered it with pop dots.  We layered the sentiment and traced around both rectangular images to make them pop. Hope you can appreciate the detail in this card just from the picture!
In this third card we stamped the image tone-on-tone. We then stamped it again on white cardstock, punched out one of the flowers, and adhered it in place to give it a spotlight effect. We carried that look through by stamping the sentiment on a circle too. We sponged ink around both circles to make them pop from the paper. A quick card with an impressive look!
This last card was a lot a fun to make and a great way to use up all those scraps of printed paper you hate to throw away! We just punched random circles out of printed paper and matted them on black to make them pop. We then arranged them on our card using pop dots on a few of the circles to give it some dimension! A great card for any occasion! Thanks for stopping by and remember, you can join us any month at a class to make your own set of beautiful cards!
