Workshop Cards

Summer Oranges and Pastel Flowers will be featured in my June workshops. Summer Oranges is a vertical-open card on Pumpkin Pie cardstock. The orange image is from the Tary & Tangy stamp set. Elements of the card include Pumpkin pie ink, Whisper White and Bashful Blue cardstock, Summer Picnic designer series paper, Old Olive 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, Stampin Dimensionals, and the 1-3/8" and 1-1/4" circle punches.

Pastel Flowers is a horizontal-open card, and scored so that the back side is longer than the front. Elements include Bashful Blue designer series paper, Whisper White cardstock, Certainly Celery 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Stampin Pastels, blender pens, and the Time Well Spent stamp set. The base is Wild Wasabi cardstock.

May Technique Class Projects

In my May Flowers class, students liked my embossing samples, so we embossed during Technique Class this month!

For the silver embossing card, we wheeled an image on Whisper White cardstock using Versamark, applied silver embossing powder, and heated until it shined! So cool!

For the white embossing card, we stamped a greeting using Versamark onto Whisper White cardstock, heated, then sponged Bashful Blue over the image. The embossed image resists the ink, so the blue appeared all around the image, and filled in the letters of the greeting.

Stayed tuned to see the techniques highlighted in June!
