April Make & Take Projects

I enjoyed gathering with friends again yesterday at our Monthly Make & Take class.  These are the projects we made:

Project 1--Rose Wonder card

This card was CASEd from Sharon at As the Ink Dries and it uses the beautiful Rose Wonder stamp set from the Occasions catalog.  I love all the greetings in this stamp set.

To make the Rose Wonder card, we first wet embossed the rose with Whisper White embossing powder on Shimmery White cardstock.  Then we watercolored with Calypso Coral and Old Olive using Aqua Painters.  The greeting is stamped in Soft Suede.  At the end we used Wink of Stella to cover the whole rose adding extra shimmer (hard to see in the photo).

Project 2--Birthday card

Inside of Birthday card

This card design was created by Julie DiMatteo and I found it here.  It uses several goodies from the Occasions catalog: Number of Years Bundle, Balloon Bouquet Punch, It's My Party DSP, It's My Party Enamel Dots, Party Punch Pack (for the mini balloon inside), and the Baker's twine combo pack.  The white lines were added with the white gel pen.  The "Woo Hoo" came from the Party Pants SAB set.  The cardstock colors are Sahara Sand, Mint Macaron, Melon Mambo, and Daffodil Delight.

Blue Buterfly card

I found this card at Love for Stamping and thought it was so beautiful.  The butterfly has two layers.  The bottom layer is die cut from Island Indigo cardstock, the top layer is die cut from vellum cardstock (heads up, vellum cardstock is a bit difficult to die-cut). Gorgeous Grunge is used to add speckles to the background and the tiny flower stamped in Pool Party ink comes from the Hello Sunshine Paper Pumpkin stamp set. The words are from the Crazy about You stamp set.  The rhinestones add some final sparkle to the project.  The card base is Going Gray.

Recycled Pencil can

Lorinda planned this fabulous pencil holder project in honor of Earth Day as it is made out of many recycled products.  The brown layer covering the can is cut from a recycled brown paper grocery bag.  The striped paper is from the Typeset DSP.  What a resourceful project!

Recyclable Thank You card

This last card was also designed by Lorinda and I wish I would have taken a photo of the inside as it was also designed to be "recyclable."  She had a small envelope on the inside that you could put a note in and then re-use the card over and over.  Very cute idea!

Thanks to all who came to our class.  Looking forward to seeing you at the next one!
